There is no other explanation for why he just keeps looking better.

Yup, the hubby & I just saw "Ocean's 13" and we liked it. The hubby really liked it.

Part of the plot involves one of the gang working at a factory in Juarez, Mexico. He ends up starting a revolt at the factory. It plays for a huge laugh and honestly, it was pretty funny seeing this skinny white guy chanting along with the Mexican workers about fair pay, etc.

Then the other side of my brain kicks in and I start thinking of how there really are people working in Mexico in horrible conditions for little pay. How there really are revolts that happen and they don't have happy endings.

Then I try to put my faith in Clooney & Pitt and that they market themselves as human rights activists. Heck, there's even a joke/line about how you can't fire a waitress for gaining 4 pounds (the bad side does this) and Ocean's gang shakes their head at this tragedy. People who work hard for attention to the world's tragedy can't just want a simple joke out of it, right? Right?!?

See, this is why sometimes I wish I could turn off the feminist part of my brain and just enjoy a movie that I suggested because I figured we wouldn't have to think too much. The hubby's training really smashed him in the brain - in a good way. I figured that "Ocean's 13" would be pure fluff. Well 95% of it was.

But back to Brad Pitt. Oh my gawd...I hate Angelina in so many ways. OTOH, I really wish she was my buddy. What I'd give to have martinis with her.
