All Eyes On "Brangelina" At Cannes

Couple Appeared Together In Public For The First Time In Several Months For The Opening Of Tarantino's "Inglourious Basterds"

(CBS)  Movies are all about opening shots, but the only shot that mattered in Cannes was this one: Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie on the red carpet.

It was the first time the two have been seen together in public for several months.

The occasion was the official opening of Quentin Tarantino's new war film, "Inglourious Basterds."

The violence-filled offering has Pitt in command of a squad of German-speaking Jewish soldiers bent on wreaking havoc in Nazi-occupied France.

The star said he agreed to do the film after Tarantino came to see him and the two created a different kind of havoc.

"I got up the next morning and saw five empty bottles of wine lying on the floor. Five. And something that resembled a smoking apparatus, I don't know what that was about and apparently I agreed to do the movie because six weeks later I was in uniform and I was Lieutenant Aldo Raine," said Pitt.

With dialogue in English, French and German, the movie has received mixed initial reviews.

"You're back at Cannes, which matters, more the prize or the public acclaim, which matters more, the prize or the public?" asked CBS News correspondent Allen Pizzey.

"Can't I have both?" Tarantino replied with laughter.

The 62nd Cannes Film Festival is a little lower on the glitz and glitter level than many of its predecessors.

There's no prize here for public acclaim, but if there was, no prizes for guessing the winners this year.

Jealousy will get you nowhere. Angelina nor Brad has done no wrong to any of you haters. They just happen to both be gorgeous. Quit hating!!!! If you dont like her, him or neither of them then dont look at their pictures, read up on them or take the time to write about them. Get a life!!!

[valh1]

I predict the movie will stink on ice but they are gorgeous people, no doubt!

[cleolady1]

WHO ARE THESE UGLY PEOPLE? BRBrangelina , GOZILLA AND ****?

[norcalruss]

I am tired of hearing about Brangelina? People need to get a life. I mean there is more to life than celebrity gossip is there not? Why not talk about the films that are being screened at Cannes and leave Brad and Angelina alone?

Their morals ? Gee, which do you have a problem with -- their humanitarian work ? or their love and devotion to their kids ?

Nice swing and hit! I'm thinking they prefer the gay or adulterous televangelists! Funny how this site is overpopulated with folks who 'claim' to hate Brangelina. Why are they here????

[Dgunner]

PLACE NO FALSE IDOLS BEFORE ME. GET IT? MANY DON'T MANY WILL WISH THEY HAD!

[realnews12]

Great looking couple. As a female, I am very jealous of the stunningly gorgeous Angelina Jolie and her handsome man. How happy for them to have continuing, successful careers and a lovely family. I wish them health and happiness. If I can't have Brad, then I guess I will have to admire him from afar.

[boatdocster]

Ahh Brad, you should have seen this coming.

There is only room for 1 person in Angelina's heart, and that person in Angelina. Everything and everybody else is window dressing for her ego.

[ayatoldya]

good lord, Angelina's focal point is her bright red lips. This is supposed to hide her sagging eyes? Her eyes yell her mental anguish. No wonder she ain't right. Pretty girl, ugly thoughts.

[ayatoldya]

What is with all this latest fascination movie about Nazi's Germany? First Tom Bruise and now Badolina? What a Ghey plot line in an over used slim selection of plots.

It looks like another crummy movie is coming for people with little minds. Usually, these "little" people are Obama worshippers.

[whatsup49]

awww poor pvperson, can't live with himself and his world, so he has to make personal attacks on others. all i'm saying is that my morals are different that brangelina's morals. if that makes ya mad, so be it. throw all the sticks and stones ya want, because you can't hurt me. for me to be hurt, i'd have to care about you, and i don't give a rat's behind what you do or say.

[PVperson2]

I can understand why you would be so hesitant to part with your "pittance" whatsup, after all, begging on the street is a hard way to "earn" a living. Good luck with your new shopping cart.

[whatsup49]

jenkins501, watch what you want, imho, this couple isn't worthy of my money. perhaps their morals and yours are similar. god didn't hire me to judge, and i'm not, i'm just stating my most humblest opinion. god did give me free will, and my free will says no to this couple

[jcdugger1234]

This movie looks so great...I can't wait for it to come out here in the USA. I love all of Tarantino's work...an absolute genius.

[jenkins501]

When did God hire you whatsup49 to help in judgement? Just wondering.

[anitaymoore]

I won't watch anything that has either of them in it, I don't care who directs it.

[whatsup49]

another movie i won't see because i won't put money into this couple's pocket. they are not worthy of my pittance.
