The Venice Film Festival is about to start I guess - or maybe already has started, how the hell should I know. Anyway Brad is there with Maddox and Pax. Brad has that new Coen Brothers movie coming out, Burn After Reading, where he plays a hapless guy who flails his limbs around a lot. The only thing worse than Brad serious is Brad wacky. Remember 12 Monkeys? He got an Oscar nomination for that - cause he went cross-eyed and flipped everyone the bird for 2 hours. A kid with Down Syndrome could've given the exact same performance. But the Academy loves it when pretty people play ugly or dirty or crazy. They call this "playing against type." Even though the pretty people are all ugly, dirty maniacs underneath.
