Jolie was the girlfriend.<br /><br />It's just that Jolie was so hyped up far more than the hero, I forgot the spotlight wasn't on her.<br /><br />Plus, her character was a bitch.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3893665144141962944.post-90722340185656599942009-09-02T15:46:32.546-07:002009-09-02T15:46:32.546-07:00You're right. Jolie is not a fantasy girlfrie...You're right. Jolie is not a fantasy girlfriend. I can see where some would wanna fuck her, but just because a girl is a good lay doesn't mean she is a good girlfriend.<br /><br />There are plenty girls out there who are both. Jolie doesn't strike me as one.<br /><br />And there are alot of female lead characters who are exactly like "Wanted"'s protagonist.<br /><br />Just about all of them are the same. Tough-as-nails, disdainful or disrespectful of men, and utterly incapable of showing any form of affection to anyone except women and children. And they always treat the men as unimportant props.<br /><br />Even Kim Possible does this, which is why I stopped watching that stupid cartoon. Ron Stoppable has always emerged as a useless piece of shit in need of rescuing, thus endangering Kim's missions.<br /><br />But even if the the male sidekick isn't entirely worthless like Ron Stoppable, they always make him less moral or less intelligent or less noble than the heroine. Or in many cases, more FEMININE than the heroine, which is even worse.<br /><br />One thing is certain, the female lead almost NEVER truly respects, let alone admires, men. She might make an exception for her male mentor, but all other men are non entities unworthy of her admiration.<br /><br />Oh sure, she may fall in love with a male from time to time, but she will never ever truly revere anything about him for any reason.<br /><br />Come to think of it, that's just like all of today's Western women. <br /><br />It's all bullshit.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3893665144141962944.post-90107695474987574282008-09-02T17:12:00.000-07:002008-09-02T17:12:00.000-07:00Response to anon:No, given your nearly 50/50 stats...Response to anon:<BR/><BR/>No, given your nearly 50/50 stats, the target demographic for summer action thrillers (men 18-30) are not going to this movie any more than the target demographic for say, Sex in the City (women 30-50)<BR/>It's 50/50 on age and gender.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3893665144141962944.post-32975958176437745562008-07-06T20:50:00.000-07:002008-07-06T20:50:00.000-07:00They aren't.

Jolie is the former not the latter. In the age of online pr0n, there's not much demand for the sex object. There is for the fantasy girlfriend.<BR/><BR/>Rachel McAdams or Amy Adams will probably do better than Jolie given the relative demand for fantasy girlfriends.Whiskeyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01854764809682029464noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3893665144141962944.post-8701962276910445162008-06-29T12:36:00.000-07:002008-06-29T12:36:00.000-07:00I reckon you must be gay that you find Angelina no...I reckon you must be gay that you find Angelina not appealing to men and worst assume that all men feels the same way, too.
