Brad Pitt Calls Tom Cruise's WWII Film 'Ridiculous'
Posted on Fri Aug 21, 2009 10:00 AM PDT
LOS ANGELES, California (X17online) - What does Brad Pitt think of Tom Cruise's Valkyrie? Not much apparently.
In an interview in the German magazine Stern, Pitt - who is promoting his own Nazi theme movie Inglourious Basterds - was asked what he thought of his friend's film.
"It was a ridiculous movie," Pitt said.
Pitt thinks his own World War II movie sets the bar for films of that genre.
"The second World War could still deliver more stories and films, but I believe that Quentin [Tarantino, director] put a cover on that pot. With Basterds, everything than can be said to this genre has been said," Pitt tells the German magazine Stern. "The film destroys every symbol. The work is done, end of story," Pitt told Stern

so, now that pitt has acted in a WWII movie, he's telling us there is no need for anymore WWII movies? not saying valkyrie is a great movie, but at least it's fact-based. does pitt even know that? wow, he might be dumber than i originally thought he was.
that was stupid of him (Pitt) to rate a renowned actor's movie "ridiculous". what does he think of himself? Tom's movies are always hits.
who really cares what brad pitt sayes. this man is a average white boy who is not aging well at all. GO GET A FACIAL BRAD AND GET OVER YOURSELF.....
I don't know why Pitt would say something like that. Personally, and I know it will not hurt the movie at all, I will not see Basterds.
I actually think that Pitt takes away from the movie because Tarantino's efforts were never about stars but about storytelling and amazing dialogue.
Just my two cents...............
Brad Pitt is the one who really is ridiculous thinking his Nazi-nonsense film was better than a fact-based film honouring real heroes.
I hope Brad can finally prove he can act, if he can, in Bastards, he has yet to prove to me that he can. Well, he was kinda funny in Burn After Reading.
Pitt is still disgusted by Cruise. It all started when they worked on Interview With A Vampire together and Cruise would have others divert Nicole Kidman while he spent time with his boyfriend. And to the poster who said Cruise's movies are always hits, did you see the numbers for Valkyrie..pitiful.
...Brad Pitt is an arrogant ass-clown for saying that,....get over yourself, pretty-boy.....
He is a moron!! He has become a joke that cannot carry a movie.
Brad Pitt will never be as great an actor as Tom Cruise. He has no class, to bring another actor's movie down. But then he is just a dumb hick
tom cruise is such a dramatic emotional has been. brad pitt on the other hand can be a chameleon. sure people think he is a hunk. but with extreme talent. go watch kalifornia....then ben button. tom cruise does the same "emotional hot button" movies. screw being politically correct...i want to see talent when i pay for a movie
Brad can't act. While Valkyrie was not great, it was based on actual events. His movie is pure fantasy. I did not see Benjamin Button because of him. I will not see this movie either. It will have a good first weekend because of QT's fanbase, but it will fade fast. Brad may be a great tabloid star, but his box office is not strong at all.
Brad Pitt sollte seine Millionen nehmen und gehen Sie Geschlechtsverkehr mit Angelena Jolie haben. Und beenden die Hölle.
Pitt sucks... does he has a movie like Born on the 4th of July? No beacause he can't act!!!
I think they are both good actors but with Pitt's classless comment, I vote for Tom Cruise this time around.
I'm amused at how many people's strong opinions have to be said "anonymous". What, afraid Brad's going to hunt you down for not liking him? You're not that important.
pitt has become a JOKE, he proves it everytime he opens his mouth.
I think it's hilarious that this clown lives this open liberal lifestyle where he is all about trying to be the great hero yet he portrays any kind of digusting sociopath for a buck. He is all about being above and better than others. That's why he is trying to fix New Orleans. I for one won't be going to see his or any of Shaun Penn movies for a long time. Their egos don't need any more $$$ behind them. I'll stop paying their salary.
They both have had good roles in good movies,both have now passed thier peak. Anymore they grace the covers of tabloids(why/how people give a $#!t about thier personal lives retarded)
They both might have a movie or two left, but in Cruises case I think he is done, with Pitt following close...
Pitt's and Tarantino's new film has very little to do with WWII- it looked like a bad spaghetti western with Hollywood-style Nazis and a rather caricatured cartoon Hitler.
I do not like Cruise either, but at the very least, Walkyrie was based on historical events, even if the production was a bit whitewashed.
Hitler's retaliation was far more savage in real life, and there was a noticable lack of fanatical SS troops and dreaded Gestapo operatives, but Cruise's film was clearly superior to Taratino's chidlishly sadistic fantasies.
Brad Pitt is at it again with stupid comments. I find it rather curious that he has recently become more vocal about his silly and depthless ideas about drugs, marriage, religion, and now WWII movies. Is it me, or do people seem to decline in intelligence the more time they spend in Hollywood?
Tom Cruise is an IDIOT and a CULT FREAK, and PITT is an IDIOT and an ATHEIST! Both of them are HIGHLY overrated and both need to get out of the limelight till they can both act like they have some sense. Boycotting both of them now!
"Tom's movies are always hits."
You do not know what you are talking about. "Valkyrie" wasn't a hit - not by a long shot.
They dont make movies like they used to, I like Judgement in Nurenburg the most among movies about WW2/Nazi. Pitt and the actors are pieces of shit compared to the greats like Shell and Lancaster. The court room scenes where Shell loses it and goes for blood and when Lancaster stops him and gives his speach were simply superb.
Those type of actors, movies and class are gone, only jerks like pitt and crap movies coming out.
If he sucks so much, why is he wealthier than anyone posting here, and married to Jolie? You folks are all such haters. Grow the hell up.

Welcome to my Zetaclear warning. I realize that is a strong opening to this post, however I have come across numerous Zetaclear blogs and websites that make some pretty over the top claims about the popular nail fungus treatment, which can be tough to live up to. Therefore in this post I will provide a Zetaclear review with out all the extra hype which really isn’t needed, so you can make an informed decision before you purchase Zetaclear. Zetaclear is a quality nail fungus treatment, which is used widely and continues to grow in popularity. However I am sure you are wondering, does Zetaclear work? It does work for most people but it doesn’t work for everybody all of the time, as no treatment does, in fact if you read claims about any treatment that say it work 100% of the time, then they are simple not being honest, as nothing does, because everybody is different.
Do you like wallpapers? They make your desktop look less crappy.
ha, I intention assess my deliberation, your list inform get me some all right ideas, it’s really fabulous, thanks.
Great blog post. The things i would like to add is that laptop or computer memory should be purchased should your computer can no longer cope with anything you do with it. One can set up two RAM boards of 1GB each, for example, but not certainly one of 1GB and one with 2GB. One should always check the manufacturer's documentation for the PC to make sure what type of memory space it can take.
With all the doggone snow we have gotten recently I am stuck indoors, fortunately there is the internet, thanks for giving me something to do. :)
