    Kick-Ass gets it right where Year One got it wrong, you need to have McLovin' shooting guns in your comedies if you're casting him.

    The real tragedy here is that Judy Greer has been relegated to the "understanding, less attractive friend" niche.

    Granted, since I despise her, I've only seen clips of her movies, but she looks the exact same in every one of them!! How is that possible? And, yes she gets lots of money for them whether they make money at the box office or not (and "Management" was definitely a NOT) but don't real actors get bored doing the same thing over and over? How can you get respect from your peers or even respect yourself if you just churn out these nonsensical, bad, poopie movies? Doesn't this woman even want to be considered for some kind of award rather than just showing up at the Oscars to announce the winner of the best lighting award? I don't get it . . . really, I don't!!

    @mslewis: Aniston was quite good in exactly one movie: 1999's "Office Space." Ever since, she's sucked--reliably, relentlessly. If I'm being totally objective, I don't think she's hideously bad. She's a light comedic actress capable of decent work if paired up with the right director. Drama is beyond her reach, though. "Derailed"?! Ugh. No. Just no.

    dear commenter boos (well boos are for the ones i heart, but i would love for anyone to answer),
    if "love happens when you least expect it" as the movie tagline or plotline or whatever the fuck line says and you are one of those people who want love to happen, wouldn't you always be expecting it? and then subsequently, wouldn't it never happen for you? i just wonder if i'm mulling this over too hard or if others wonder about this as well...

    @tigolbitties: I think you should take this as- it will happen in the last place you would ever look for it. I don't think people "expect" it to happen - I think they "want it to happen really badly" and are actively searching for it and yes, in that case it will probably fail.

    @easternsike: ha! that's the other saying that really bothers me, the whole "last place you look/expect" well, yeah obviously it's where/or happened in the last place i look or expect, because i found it or it happened. so no need to keep searching...

    @tigolbitties: well I will put it this way - someone who wants to be in love might possibly go to bar or something, trying to get laid or meet people and thus attach themself to anyone who offers attention. they will most likely fail because they try to hard. as for it happening in a place you wouldn'ty expect - i can't explain that. but i do believe it's true. it's like meditation - sit quietly and the truth will come to you!

    I mean seriously, what is she doing?

    I hate to get on the "Aniston is sad, lonely, and an awful actress" meme, but really, hasn’t she made the same movie at least seven times now? It’s like the laziest movie trajectory I think I’ve ever witnessed. What was the difference between Friends with Money, Rumor Has It, Love Happens, He’s Just Not That Into You, Management, The Object of My Affection, and Picture Perfect? She was absolutely the same person in each and every one. Fuck it. The only thing left is to actually do that movie with Jolie.

    I dunno. I used to like her. I thought she had some pretty decent comedic timing and could stretch that into solid rom-com fare at least. But she's even failing at that. Honestly, I think she's playing it too safe and taking roles that are too closely in line with who she is as a person, instead of finding something new within herself. (That and she's still not over the break-up. No, really, she isn't. Time to get over it.) BUT, even if she wants to do the fluff stuff, it's better to carve your own niche like Amy Adams or Emily Blunt, than be a tired old, former TV person like annoying Katherine Heigel.

    Did Jennifer Aniston's latest bomb "The Master Baster" with Jason Bateman hit theatres already?

    Jennifer plays a single woman who gets artificially inseminated to have a baby on her own. Her best friend Jason Bateman is in love with her and replaces the donated semen with his own. (How romantic!)

    A more accurate story line would be Jennifer sneaks into Brangelina's palace, drugs Pitt, steals his sperm and starts mass producing his babies.

    I finagled my way into a screening of this. I haven't read the book -- or, more accurately, the story collection -- but I can say with certainty that the book is superior to the film. There are plenty of good things about this movie, but most of them are attributable to the writing. The film comes off like a bunch of (very talented) actors reciting (very good) monologues at an audition (for what could be a very good film), and not as a cohesive film.

    Also, I can say *I'm* superior because I've seen this movie already and you haven't. Nyah nyah nyah!

    (Don't hate me. I swear I'm a nice person most of the time.)

    @Social Crimer: My understanding circa 2007 (maybe outmoded, since Krasinski has worked on this project since he was in college) was that the cleverest narrative device he introduced by way of turning "Brief Interviews.." into a film was the fact that he imagined the book as a series of interviews being organized by a WOMAN working on a thesis of some sort. Pretty clever, I must admit.

    She was allegedly supposed to be the prism through which we experience the confessions in the book. Did that change in the final version? Please enlighten us.

    "Prettyboy"? Oh Foster, you are so straight aren't you? I agree with your last point, if the film means more people reading his work, it's a good thing.
