I have seen "Wanderlust." "Wanderlust" is 109% funny. SEE "Wanderlust" !!!

109% is an odd figure, but I'll take it.

@Doug_Duke
@JuddApatow the word seriously needs to get out about WANDERLUST. Its 1 of the funniest movies I've seen in years. Let the people know Judd!

Will there be a red-band trailer or it's too late for it?

Based on the TV spots I think maybe the first trailer that hit the web was the red band trailer. It's the only one where the word 'penis' isn't edited out and the only one that actually shows Paul sitting on the toilet.

why is this movie not widely promoted, is it a limited release?

It's too late now for a "red band" trailer, but the TV spots have been edited even from the trailer that was approved for all audiences.

There have been a lot of TV adds. Have you not seen them?

Since she's taking a break from acting, now would be a great time for her to experiment with a different color, and as some have mentioned she can do it with safe products. She's always going to have gorgeous, thick locks and I think a darker brown would look awesome on her!

I lean towards believing she is going to stop dyeing her hair and wear a new looser style because she is 'reconditioning' everyone for early baby months when she'll hide it until safely past miscarriage time line. Maybe not, but I keep looking for the hints in whatever changes she proposes.

Some nice words from a film critic about Jennifer's Horrible Bosses role and awards consideration/politics:

Oscar Nominations 2012: 5 questionable calls

By Ethan Drew

The Academy Awards, also known as "the Oscars," is an annual awards show that I have come to love over my years as a film fanatic. Unfortunately in recent years, this love has been tested by the Academy's—let's just say—"questionable" calls when it comes to certain nominations and winners.

In "honor" of the upcoming 84th Academy Awards, I have created a list of the Academy's five most questionable calls (including snubs and nominations) of this season:

5. Snub: the horror genre.

With the exception of "Silence of the Lambs" back in '92, the horror genre has generally been shafted when it comes to the Oscars in the past two decades. I'm not saying that every horror film should be held up to the same standards as some of the greatest films of our time. I just think that it would be nice to get a little love from the Academy for my genre every once in a while.

4. Nomination: Best Supporting Actress – Melissa McCarthy for "Bridesmaids."

Though I hate myself for including this due to my love for "Bridesmaids" and love for McCarthy's role, I do not think that her performance warranted an Oscar nomination. Here's how I see it: McCarthy's obvious talent aside, why should she land a nomination when other great, comedic supporting actors in R-rated raunchy comedies like Zach Galifianakis in "The Hangover" or Jennifer Aniston in "Horrible Bosses" have gone unnoticed though their performances were just as popular and hilariously impressive? I hope the Academy is prepared to handle the can of worms they have opened by allowing this kind of popularity-based nomination.

3. Snub: Best Actor – Leonardo DiCaprio for "J. Edgar."

While I've heard that "J. Edgar" isn't the best film to come out this past year, I still think that DiCaprio is long overdue for an Oscar nomination/win. The fact that he wasn't even nominated for his role in "Shutter Island" last year still makes my blood boil. It's time for the Academy to recognize his talent and versatility, if you ask me.

2. Nomination: Best Picture – "Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close" & Snub: Best Picture – "The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo."

Though I have not seen "Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close," I do know that it is the worst reviewed film to get a Best Picture nomination in over 10 years. My question is why did a film that is generally disliked get nominated while a well-made, well-reviewed film like "The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo" didn't even get a nod?

1. Ultimate Snub: Best Supporting Actor – Alan Rickman for "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2."

Could someone please explain to me how an actor as brilliant as Alan Rickman didn't at least get a nod for his brilliant, emotional turn as Severus Snape in the final film in the Harry Potter franchise? Granted, Part 2 did earn itself three Oscar nominations this season. I think it was completely robbed of the category for which it most deserved a nomination.

i'm hugely dissapointed at how Harry potter cast was snubbed and not invited to the event, it would have hugely raised ratings ala Avatar.

Honestly these awards are become too political.I miss the old days when no one knew exactly who was going to win. Now popularity instead of talent is what makes winners. Someone like George Clooney. I like him but some of the movies he is nominated for are not even that great. Same with Meryl Streep. I love her dearly but not all her movies deserve nominations. Unfortunately most of them know to just make Oscar bait movies and they have a guaranteed nomination. For me I now root for the underdogs. I want Michelle Williams to win the Lead though. She deserves it and so did Natalie Portman for her last year win. Viola might win but compared to Octavia Spencer she was underwhelming . For the males I can't tell who deserves it because I only watched George Clooney's movie and personally I was disappointed that he got a nomination over Leonardo who I thought was great in his film. But oh well it is what it is.

I completely agree, and it would be a smart move on her part if that is the grand plan.

that quote about being being offered scripts to be old enough to be a mother of a 17year old, made me wonder if she's considering the Cheerleader bio movie. i hope she takes it.

Could not agree more. Ryan Gosling is another actor who was snubbed, and he should have gotten nominated for "Drive". Instead they nominated Pittstain who shouldn't have been in the running for anything, let alone "best actor".
