Apr 30 2008Coens' 'Burn After Reading' Stills: Pitt is a Douche, Clooney Regrets Love-Making
Over at First Showing, the first production stills from the Coen Brothers' Burn After Reading have popped up. Of course, being that it's a new dark comedy from the Coens, I'm ridiculously enthusiastic about these images, but I can't help but feel there's a bit too much winking at the audience going on with Brad Pitt's oafish gym employee character. Brad Pitt is a huge star, and People Magazine told me he's the sexiest man alive during certain years, but now he has ridiculous bleached tips and works at a gym!? That's crazy! Though, at the same time, if Brad Pitt weren't a huge star and occasionally the sexiest man alive, he probably would have bleached tips and work at a gym. So maybe this is just great casting.
More shots--including George Clooney hamming up post-coital regret in country-style patriotic bedding--here.

looks like self-referential to No Country, where the CD is the breifcase of money and everyone is looking for it

Malkovich + Coens = Good times
Good times + Brad Pitt = maybe not so good

Looking at the pic, I was expecting: "90210 After Graduation: The Working at Circuit City Years"
