This scene is the Pitts.

Married couple Mr. & Mrs. Smith (Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie (-Pitt)) were getting bored with their quiet domestic life, even though they are secretly both assassins, hopping the world and killing for hire. Their separate lives collided when each found out their next target is their own spouse.
*SPOILER ALERT* As it turns out, neither are very good assassins, because they just can’t seem to kill each other, but do an excellent job of tearing their house apart. For anyone who hasn’t seen this movie, know that before this sex scene, they spend a good amount of time trying to kill each other with automatic weapons, knifes, and other household items.



Mrs. to Mr:
“You still alive, Baby?”



Okay, so this sex scene starts off with the end of violent foreplay, and them dropping (err, throwing down) their weapons and aggressively ripping off each others clothes. They violently throw each other around, smashing into walls, counters, and …glass, apparently. The sound of things crashing in the background adds to the idea of mixing sex and violence, which makes parts of this scene only available in the “Unrated” version of the film. The already hurt and bloody pair gasp, grunt, groan and moan their way onto the glass covered kitchen island to simulate penetration (making this part “unrated”) and Mr. proceeds to choke Mrs. (to which, it appears, she likes) to finish (themselves and the scene) by shedding new light on “rough sex”.

They collapse on the floor in exhaustion, and she SLAPS him in the face, and then laughs at him. What a Bitch! A hot bitch...but still a bitch...
They then share a “tender” moment of him ogling her body, and then, a knock at the end of the scene means they have to haul ass to escape people who are trying to kill them. So much for spooning…

This scene (like so many others) is dark in lighting, incredibly unrealistic, and includes the ever-popular cheesy music (this time I think its bongos and a violin...) This scene also falls into the we-can-put-it-in-the-commercials category, and probably makes Jennifer Aniston cringe every time she thinks about it. The ploy to add sexuality into this movie wherever humanly possible is borderline ridiculous (left), but what else would you expect when you put the two hottest celebrities on-screen together…an actual plotline and amazing acting?

Yes, the scene is a major selling point of this film, especially since the movie came out during the Pitt-Aniston break-up (along with The Break-Up), but the reality of it, lets just say the ending to this movie was almost as believable as the sex scene.

This was one of those movies where I was sitting in the theatres going "okay," but a few minutes later I thought "wait, what the shit?" The "twist" in the movie, if you think about it (and probably even if you don't), makes absolutely no sense.

You know it's not a great movie if the best part is Seth Cohen.

Yea I was pretty excited about that too.

But I think the only redeeming actor goes to Vince Vaughn.
He totally used Will Ferrell's line of: "I almost nunchucked you right there, you don't even realize," and turned it into "I almost shot you right there, you don't even realize."

I love him.

Aaron, don't mess with Seth Cohen!

If you haven't already you should check out This Film is not yet Rated. Link: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0493459/

It deals with (among other things) notions of sexuality in film in terms of what is deemed acceptable by a ratings board.
