"Mr. & Mrs. Smith" v. "Allied"

They are more alike than you think.

"Mr. & Mrs. Smith" v. "Allied"
E Online

If you're not up to speed on the whole Brangelina thing, I'll give you the short version. Brad and Angelina are getting a divorce after 12 years of being together. Jolie initiated the divorce, filing against Pitt citing "irreconcilable differences." It has come out that these "differences" involved Brad's parenting and use of drugs and alcohol. Jolie is asking for physical custody of their six children, but would allow Pitt visitation. Yikes.

There is also speculation that Pitt cheated on Jolie with his "Allied" co-star, Marion Cotillard. Though Cotillard denies having anything to do with the split, it is quote ironic. Here's why...

Angelina and Brad met while filming a movie together, "Mr. & Mrs. Smith," in 2005. Pitt and Cotillard met while filming their upcoming movie, "Allied." Pitt, at the time of "Mr. & Mrs. Smith," was dating Jennifer Aniston. He allegedly cheated on Jennifer with Angelina, resulting in the birth of Brangelina. If the rumors about Marion Cotillard are true, then Angelina is now in the same situation that Jennifer Anniston was in. Ironic, right?

But wait! There's more...

"Mr. & Mrs. Smith" is about a seemingly normal married couple. However, they are actually two assassins who have secretly been hired to kill each other. This, of course, causes them to not trust each other and creates tension. (Also ironic: their marriage is crumbling, and they seek therapy to avoid divorce.) "Allied" is about an intelligence officer who finds out that his wife might be a German spy. He is told that if she is, he must kill her. This, of course, causes him not to trust her and creates tension. Sound familiar? It should!

Here are the trailers for both movies.



Whether the plot similarities and time of release for "Allied" are coincidental or not, there sure is a lot of irony surrounding it!

What is "talking?" How does one "talk?"

Now that it seems “talking” is the new way to date, and will stay that way until another idiotic term is used to describe the people who can’t settle down and just date someone, I feel as if it’s time to go over the unwritten rules of “talking.”

Rule 1. Having feeling without feeling.

What's up Asshat,

I've composed a list of things that I wish upon you, and they're harsh and cruel. These things are things that I wouldn't wish upon my worst of enemies, not even that Starbuck's barista who always screws up my order, not even him. You fall into a whole other category of hate. You surpass Starbucks barista. Congratulations, I'm actually a pretty nice person, making you worthy of every single bit of torture I wish upon you. What are these things I wish upon you you might ask?
