Is Brad Pitt Giving Advice to Occupy Wall Street?

Brad Pitt was on a press tour in Japan to promote his latest movie “Moneyball.”

While speaking to the press, Pitt drifted into an impromptu monologue that initially explained the overriding theme of the movie, but then seemed to wander off into his giving advice to the protesters at Occupy Wall Street.

“What you’re seeing in America is questioning a system that has not served us well.”

Pitt does not sign on with the OWS movement completely, but he does appear to offer them some direction.

“The most important thing is really, not just getting swept up in the fervor of a fight… And if you‘re going to say one guy’s bad, you’ve got to back it up with this is how we fix it.”

      If you have listend to anything he has had to say in the past you will know that not only is this guy a Godless individual, he is anti-God. He is against God. And look who he is married to…Jezebel.

      I quit watching anything he is in a long time ago. Don’t go to see this new movie, you are just putting money in his pockett.

      Agreed. But what is this thing with these men wearing their hair long and stringy, looking like a homeless type? That new guy on 2-1/2 men is more than I can watch with that stringy hair and the dumb acting part he plays. Never thought I could say, but I miss that druggie Charlie, on tv only.

      Besides………Any man who’d marry a woman who used to wear a vial of blood around her neck from her past lover is too spooky. Pitt is the pitts for sure. Even my granddaughter told me last night that I was completely right about what the Occupy really means. Initially I understood what they were protesting, but it turned into a Woodstock free-for-all and worse and anything good about it was void.

      ““What you’re seeing in America is questioning a system that has not served us well.”

      “Not served _Us_ well?” Since when has Brad Pitt not been treated well by American capitalism?

      When was the last time Brad Pitt lived off of food stamps and welfare? Who is Brad Pitt speaking for? The Hollywood elite? The Hollywood homeless? When was the last time Brad Pitt ate at a Salvation Army soup kitchen? When was the last time Brad Pitt collected unemployment? Brad Pitt needs to visit Penn State and volunteer for shower duty! His name should be Brad Pitiful! I’ll never watch a Brad Pitiful movie again. Not one dollar of mine will ever go to Brad Pitiful again. A rich and wealthy loser is still a loser.

      Yes. The system hasn’t served most of us well and bloated government, politicians not upholding their oaths to The Constitution, over-regulation, corruption, and bureaucracies is why we’re in this mess; in other words, Progressives have all but destroyed the free market. CUT SPENDING! We already know what the fix is, but Democrats and RINO’s are too spineless and/or greedy to make “the changes we need.” The change we need isn’t “that hopey changey stuff.” Barry O’s changes are just more of the same garbage that caused this mess in the first place digging the hole deeper and more rapidly.
      We already know all this, but OWS needs to learn…

It was Bushios garbage “that caused this mess.” You may have forgotten, but seven years of Bush’s policies got us into “this mess”, not seven years of Obama’s. He wasn’t elected yet. Remember?

      Brad is just reading the progressive script just like how he makes his living by acting out scripts written by other people. I wish he would just stick to acting and stop trying to give advise on matters that he does not understand. I will never spend a dime on any movie he makes from now on.He has just joined the list of Hollywood IDIOTS who do not understand that they make their millions because of capitalism, not socialism.

      I’ll watch Moneyball, because Glenn gave it great reviews, and I was already interested in it. I haven’t found something that I was thinking about reading/watching/buying that Glenn recommended that I did not like.

      I don’t blindly follow what he recommends, as I haven’t read the “Making of a Snow Angel while wearing a Christmas Sweater” but if I were looking for a story like that I would probably pick it up. As for Brad Pitt, I will give him a little more rope. It wasn’t any where near as bad as most actors.

      I agree .. I just cut my cable back to the minimum that I can still get Fox with .. I have bought a Roku box .. when I hook it up I may be cutting my cable back even more .. I think I have to have cable to get internet (and it is the only high speed without a home phone in my area). The list of “actors” I will watch has grown shorter than those I will not .. wish Amazon would HURRY UP and send my “Atlas Shrugged,Part 1″. If you haven’t seen it also “An American Carol” is pretty funny and Jon Voight as George Washington is worth renting/buying.

      I am sick of these brain dead Hollyweird “actors” shooting off their big mouths .. people who make their living saying other people’s words should not speak and show their ignorance.

    My advice, Brad…and it is the same for all rich Hollywood ilks who try to pretend they are friends of OWS to keep the liberals on their side: Why don’t you hand over part of your incredibly MASSIVE paycheck to the OWS protesters?? After all, that is what they are asking from corporations, is a share of the wealth, who at least provide jobs. Oh, that’s right, you give your money to ailing countries all over the world but not your apparently suffering brethren here in America who have taken to the streets for what? 2 solid months now? And have YOU employed anyone in America? Maybe a housekeeper here or there? GREAT contribution Braddy! So shut up and sit down. You and the rest of the Hollywood elite. You have no place in this and no voice and quite frankly, no clue!
