Stars in Rewind: Angelina Jolie Meditates to the Typewriter
Filed under: Trailers and Clips, Stars in Rewind
Before the days of Brad and babies, Billy Bob and blood vials, or Jonny Lee and bloody tees, there was just Angela and Viril. The year was 1993, and Angelina Jolie popped up in a short by Steven Shainberg, the man who would later direct the saucy Secretary, and last year's Fur: An Imaginary Portrait of Diane Arbus. It's a simple, black and white short -- Angela sits on a bed in the lotus position, meditating, while Viril types rhythmically the numbers 1-1,000 on an old typewriter. That is, until he gets trapped by a strange feeling.
But this wasn't the only time that Viril found himself at the service of his woman's whims. The film was later followed by Alice and Viril, also starring Jolie. This time around, the film is in candy-color, and Viril meets Alice at a convention for lawn products. She asks him to hold his head underwater for 3 minutes. He does so in fishtank -- once again suffering as Jolie lounges.
But before I get to the quiz, I thought I'd give you one more goodie, to break the Christmas carol monotony -- Angelina in Meatloaf's Rock 'n' Roll Dreams Come Through. Enjoy!
Answer for the last poll: The consensus was right this time around -- Kelly Macdonald was the actress who never played the Shrew. It was actually her Trainspotting co-star Shirley Henderson.

Well I think she is beautiful inside and out. A well accomplished woman, and not like those other spoiled papparazi princesses getting the spotlight for what they did wrong. Angelina has struggled through a tough childhood and developed into who she is today right before our eyes, never denying her natural human faults.

She is playing a role, it's Hollywood, it's the movies and it's entertainment.

Isn't it awful to live your life like a goldfish? Give the woman a break. Everyone does something less than stellar sometimes.
