Brad Pitt’s ‘Meet Joe Black’ Goes Viral For The Greatest Reason

Universal Pictures

1998’s Meet Joe Black arrived on the peak of Brad Pitt‘s heartthrob era. The film was mostly forgettable (although drilled into audience’s brains with a three-hour runtime) aside from one ridiculous scene. You know the one. Before Brad Pitt’s character turned Death, he was merely a good looking younger man in a espresso store who made a melt-y impression on Claire Forlani’s feminine lead. This was as meet-cute a scene because it comes, ending with each staring again at one another wistfully (and repeatedly), after which disaster strikes. Coffee-Shop-Brad stupidly pauses in the course of the street, all lovestruck, then blammo. The poor man ricochets between a number of autos like a ping pong ball.

Not a really perfect first encounter! Oh, however the sheer madness of the scene (I’m undecided how a lot of the $90 million price range went into CGI-ing this factor, however bravo) nonetheless arrives with the identical power twenty years later. Twitter consumer Rose O’Shea caught a community replay of the Death Takes A Holiday remake for the primary time (!) on Thursday evening. She swiftly declared it to be “the most bonkers one minute of a movie that I have ever seen.”
