Film writers are in the best position to give informed, objective comment since it is their job to know and write about movies and movie stars.
Angelina Jolie is a rare blend of superstar: One that can be an action star, dominate an Oscar-worthy film, direct one, and give boatloads of her free time and money to people in need. #NoNeedToDisrespectJolie https://t.co/b6iixYHgqZ

That Guardian piece on Angelina Jolie is a lazy and kind of baffling misunderstanding of a singular celebrity's appeal as well as the entire concept of star studies. Shock horror as to who wrote it. pic.twitter.com/G53UM8JNsc

Angelina was such a huge star and box office force that SALT was originally supposed to be a Tom Cruise vehicle and they retooled it to be for her, and it drew a massive crowd in my dinky hometown that only gets one movie a week because everyone loves her

I have now seen the Extremely Bad Take™ piece floating around regarding Angelina Jolie and her movies and not for the first time am I wishing that Film Twitter would stop thinking inflammatory takes = insightful criticism.

If you don’t like Angelina Jolie then fine, but don’t act like people don’t go to see her films pic.twitter.com/5XbYTMOLYF

...simply didn't apply where she was concerned. I can't imagine what that must have been like for her. (I thought she was smart and sensible and articulate when I encountered her on set and later promoting the film.)
