The general consensus seems to be that Angelina is this unbridled, demonic nymphomaniac. I can only assume this is because we coalesce her seductive eyebrow raises, her (as Winona Ryder put it) "most darling figure", her unguarded proclamations, her fetish for blood, her collection of knives, and her partiality to women as well as men. Yet she insists that everybody mistakes sheer energy for sexuality. She is genuinely mystified that people find her dazzlingly sensual. She thought she was playing tomboyish parts; that this would portray her as 'the girl next door' or just a girl in a corner. She says she has only slept with a handful of people in her life. She confesses that she never liked being touched, ever. She never trusted anybody touching her. She always felt like she didn't really live in this world. She went through a period in which her incapacity to feel something, anything crippled her to the point of self-mutilation. She didn't really ever settle; she was never grounded or safe. She thought she'd burn until she went out..
And then she met Billy Bob Thornton, (who is not so ugly, SheThing) and it all changed. "I've found out who I really am through my marriage to Billy Bob.. I'm so much a wife!" She then tells us that they were speaking about getting a farm, "with sheep and ducks, and I want a billygoat really badly! I want to bottlefeed a baby billygoat - in the kitchen".
Ahem, for a girl who marries covered in blood (and who also wears a vial around her neck with Billy Bob's blood in it) isn't feeding a billygoat just a tiny bit.. normal? (Well, as normal as she could get). She is clearly, definitely in love.
"We joke sometimes about it", she says. "We think we're going to knock each other out, because you just love somebody so much, you just want to push them over". And consequently, life seems real now.
Angelina says that though she wants very much to live now, she didn't always. She says, "you can't really commit to life when you feel unsettled and disconcerted". She actually hired a hitman to kill her once. The hitman however, was a strange breed of compassionate; he didn't want to do it. He told her to wait one month, and if she still wanted to die, he would do it. Of course, after that month, she had changed her mind. The reason she had hired a hitman, rather than simply killing herself, if any of you are wondering, is that she never wanted to hurt anybody around her. When someone commits suicide, loved ones, family members place blame upon themselves and others. But with murder, there'd be no guilt.
Angelina's newest exploit is Lara Croft: Tomb Raider. I would compare it to Charlie's Angels in that, quality wise, it is lacking.. something. A dimension perhaps?
But it is very watchable, if only for the dazzling and cliché kung fu chick value, the cheesy lines, the everchanging, exotic panorama, and ultimately, endlessly, Angelina herself. I may not have seen the film if someone else had played the part. And oh, her breasts aren't really that large. Lara Croft has impossible dimensions just like Barbie. Huge breasts and an intolerably tiny waist. Croft was in fact a DD cup but they didn't want to take it that far. They padded out Angelina's C cup to a D.
