Wathing old movies from a new perspective

Legends of the Fall was on TV last night and I was tired, I was laying on the couch flipping back and fourth between young and pretty Brad Pitt and that Jack The Ripper thing with young and pretty Johnny Depp. Ohhh, long blond hair and blue eyes, nope, flip, ohh brown intense eyes, flip..you get the picture. I've seen Legends a long time ago and I always thought the leading lady was miscast..now I wonder if I was supposed to hate her that much? Maybe the casting director was smarter than I thought. LOL..Brad/Tristen reamed her so bad in that movie. I was laughing my ass off too. Hey, snooty bitch in your Victorian tennis outfit, making Samuel die a virgin while you creamed your pantaloons for his older hotter brother, you just wait, you'll get yours. And when Brad finally did her, I was shouting at the tube, kill yourself now, you'll never have Tristen. When she finally blew her brains out, I cracked up. Gowd, I'm a bitch.

I don't really want to look at Brad now, I am that shallow. Gray beard with reggae beads in it, Bermuda old man plaid golfing nerd clothes and six kids with Adoptolina. No thanks. I'd rather half heartedly watch Legends, with the sound off. Triston was your typical psycho asshole, but, he was so purdy.

I'm more of a Tyler Durden girl. A b.s, charmer, wise ass, psycho, and insane kind of girl.

I loved "Legends of the Fall". You don't get much better acting than Anthony Hopkins or handsomer than Brad Pitt! Oh, and who was the older brother with the light blue eyes? Boy do we have different taste in men! Well, that's good. We don't have to have a duel to death to win our prizes--I doubt they'll have a duel over either of us, either--nice dream, though. LOL

Oh DD - I admit it! I love this movie. I do however, agree with the casting of the poor fair maiden. I had not watched it since it came out, but I watched last night too. I had forgotten why I thought it was one of the saddest movies ever made. Now I remember.
Aidan Quinn - I think - is the older brother.
Ahhh, the anguish of love. Isabella 2 was beautiful. I loved the scenes of family with her as mother. Very pretty filming.
And the landscape was breathtaking. makes me want to visit there.

Meh. Knowing Pitt's a pothead has forever altered my opinion of him. Now I don't see hunk I see junk.

Jeepers anon... Got something against hottie potheads, I think you'll have more disappointment than you know. The bong doesn't always elevate to the needle.

I love that movie. I did feel saddness for Susannah because she was so deeply in love with Tristen and could never have his heart the way Elizabeth2 did, which drove her to kill herself. What tremendous pain to see the man that you are forever in love with, have a beatiful wife and children you couldnt have. And then to be stuck with a kind man that you could never love. Great love story.

I love the younger version of Brad. He use to be so hot, what happened to him?

I'm always a sucker for blonde hair and blue eyes.

His current scraggly look is not very flattering.

What's up with the beads in his beard?

I know it was part of his Halloween costume but that was a week ago.

Ava's Mom, I'm more of a Red Green gal..lol.

Aidan Quinn? He was good looking, and not crazy like the Triston charactor, but, come on..young Brad Pitt wiff long hair. Oh, my.

That movie is amazingly beautiful. The Suzannah character was not my idea of fabulous tho. She was classy, and female. They didnt get many classy females in the mountains of Montana in those days. Maybe they still dont. She was so melancholy tho. So morose. She was staying with all those handsome men and was f'g sad? Dayum! DD, you and I think alike. The long hair & chiseled jaws amke me melt too. I must have passed that onto my daughter. However, she has dated her Brads(Tristans) in the past, they suck as boyfriends, now she's dating her modern version of Alfred. He treats her like a woman should be treated, he thinks he doesnt deserve her, as opposed to the Tristans that think they are doing YOU a favor by speaking to you. You might date hot a hell Tristan, but you marry a handsome, stable Alfred. Its true. If you dont, you will be divorced soon enough. True? yes, it is.

How funny. I watched this too on Friday. Only I thought I was watching A River Runs Through It the whole time. What is the plot of that movie?...

Anonymous said...

A River Runs thru It was made prior to Legends. Brad was noticably younger in River. he plays a newspaper guy in the mts of Wyoming? A family with 2 boys, 1 is a fuck up alcoholic, gambler(Brad) & the other, normal brother, moves away & becomes a successful college professor back east. Their dad ,Tom Skerrit teaches them how to fly fish. The brothers reunite back home eventually and it all ends with Brad getting in a fight & getting killed and the only survivng brother is an old man fly fishing in the same river and he is narrating the movie. Robert Redford directed that movie and when it came out Brad was being touted as the new, younger Robert Redford! I remember that. Its another beautiful movie. I hate this moderating shit. I keep thinking my comments are deleted. Sorry to repeat. Its hard to comment back & forth with everyone with moderation going on. I might give up and dont want to. Can you fix it girl?

Dayum, I just relaized something I used to tell my kids. Back in the day. I would see Axl Rose in a music video and I'd say. "If he asked me to, I'd run away with him". Sheeeit he was f'g hot back then. Those tight as hell leather pants, long hair & hips that dont lie! Now he's fug. Messed up with botox. Back then tho, pfft...I would have done him in a New York minute! You know the hot guys know damn well they are hawt too. They are smokin'...I bet you had your Brads & Johnny's!!! hehe
