I'm an unapologetic Actor Brad Pitt fan.  I'm not down with his politics or world views but I have really enjoyed his movies.  Among my favorites -  A River Runs Through It, Seven, Meet Joe Black, Fight Club, Legends Of The Fall, Oceans 11,12 & 13, Troy, Money Ball and so many more.

I like his characters, his style, his various looks so yes, his presence in a film could be enough for me to check it out.  Apparently I'm not alone in my appreciation of BP.

A newly-discovered species of parasitic wasp has been named after BRAD PITT.

Sci-News.com says the Conobregma bradpitti is a widespread group of wasps that are deep brown with brightly shaded wings. (Sounds like something Paul Maclean from A River Runs Through It might tie to his line in pursuit of a giant Montana trout!)

The Brad Pitt wasp operates by laying eggs inside other insects like moths and butterfly. As a parasite, it eventually causes its host to “mummify” and harden so that new wasps can be born.  Hmmmm, now that sounds a little more like Louis de Pointe du Lac from Interview With a Vampire!

He may not have his Oscar just yet, but then Leo DiCaprio doesn't have a wasp named after him! Just tell him to BUZZ OFF Brad!
