The Red Band Trailer for Wanderlust is Heavy on the "Lust"

by | February 16th, 2012

The red band Wanderlust trailer is out, now with 100% more Joe Lo Truglio butt, goat-milking ejaculation analogies, and Paul Rudd giving himself a sex pep talk in the mirror. Whew. That's a lotta red band material. Hope they left some surprises for next Friday when the full movie comes out in theaters. Until then, let's all drink some strong tea with hallucinogenic properties and sit by the fire to wait.

First Horrible Bosses Trailer: The Wackiest Murder Fantasy Ever

by | May 11th, 2011

Here's the first trailer for Horrible Bosses, the new comedy that features Jason Bateman, Charlie Day and Jason Sudeikis scheming to kill their three god-awful bosses, played by Kevin Spacey, Jennifer Aniston and Colin Ferrell in a pretty sweet bald/combover cap. Looks pretty good, if just for the scene in which Charlie is trying to pick up $15,000 worth of cocaine off a rug while high on cocaine. It hits theaters on July 8th. [via]

A Tale of Two Adam Sandlers

by | November 5th, 2010

Here's the first trailer for Just Go With It, a new romantic comedy starring Adam Sandler, Jennifer Aniston and Brooklyn Decker. This is the second of two upcoming Sandler movies we know about, and they seem pretty different. But really, aren't they pretty solid representations of the two types of movies Sandler is up for these days?

Wanderlust Trailer Plays Like a Beautiful Wet Hot/State Reunion

by | November 3rd, 2011

The trailer for Wanderlust is out and it features (in addition to stars Paul Rudd and Jennifer Aniston) Ken Marino, Joe Lo Truglio, Kerri Kenny-Silver, Kathryn Hahn, Justin Theroux and Alan Alda, all of them directed by David Wain. The whole thing looks kind of like a hippie-er version of Wet Hot American Summer, but co-produced by Judd Apatow. Who else watched this and now wants to immediately move to a commune with me?

Jason Sudeikis and Jennifer Aniston May Play a Weed Dealer and His Hooker Fake-Wife in We're the Millers

by | April 10th, 2012

We're the Millers, a comedy about "pot dealer who pulls together a fake wife and two kids to pose as an RV road-tripping family so that he can smuggle 1000 pounds of pot cross country," may finally be getting its leads: Jason Sudeikis and Jennifer Aniston. The movie, written by Wedding Crashers writers Bob Fisher and Steve Faber, initially had Steve Buscemi attached as the lead way back in 2010, but I'm also into the idea of this pairing. Sudeikis as a dirtbag weed dealer driving cross-country in an RV? Yeah, I'm on board.

Horrible Bosses Review Round-Up: Like 9-To-5, But With Even More Golden Shower Jokes

by | July 8th, 2011

Adam, don't read this post! Okay,  guys, just let me know if anyone wants to go see Horrible Bosses with me; I'm hoping it'll have some good tips. Good MURDER tips.  The Horrible Bosses reviews are in, and in addition to being mostly positive, many of them are just bulging with the repulsive overuse of the word "naughty." Writes Roger Ebert, "Horrible Bosses is funny and dirty in about that order," adding that "[Kevin] Spacey is superb, but the surprise for many may be Jennifer Aniston. Her career has drifted into such shallows that it's possible to forget how good she was in a film like The [...]

Jennifer Aniston Turned Down SNL for Friends

by | February 3rd, 2011

Did you know that, before joining the cast of Friends, Jennifer Aniston was offered a spot on the cast of SNL? Adam Sandler told Oprah yesterday that he had recommended Aniston for the role: "I remember being on the ninth floor where Lorne Michaels' office was, and seeing Jen come in," Sandler recalled. "I was like, 'Oh, my God. There's Aniston. Is she about to be on our show?'"

Aniston said she turned down the offer because the show was "a boys' club. They thought I was making a huge mistake."

Instead, Aniston signed on for the hit NBC sitcom Friends, she said, and "did alright."

Joked Sandler, [...]
