Pathology Release -- Ventimiglia and Milano  

0 comments

Pathology -- genre: Thriller -- MPAA-rating: R
New Release date: April 18, 2008 (limited)

After an extremely long wait Pathology seems to finally get its theatrical release. Yeah!

During the wait we had to read posts re: not-so-great test-screenings months ago and a February release date came and went -- no Pathology sightings. It's finally time to get excited. And I am excited, because I'm digging the trailer (scroll down to check it out).

[Re: the validity and benefit of test-screenings. I don't believe in test-screenings. I've been working in market research (all aspects, including face-to-face, studio, phone, opinion polls, b2c, b2b and whatnot) for a number of years and have seen how the system works or rather: fails - especially when you're dealing with the assumed target group face-to-face. Some new products still fail tremendously after costly market research projected---> product is a surefire winner! I'd also say that test-screenings can be counterproductive, they can backfire. Some dim bulb may write about how horrible a flick was - word gets out - buzzkill. On the other end of the spectrum, of course, are the over-hyped crapfests. Nuff said.]

Jennifer Jason Leigh dumps Ashton Kutcher?

Page6 reports that the next victim of the ever-spreading Mommy-Bug is..... Bad Babe Jennifer Jason Leigh. Congrats, I guess. Not that I'm terribly interested in the reproductive goings-on of complete strangers...

However, Jennifer Jason Leigh was scheduled to star with Ashton Kutcher in the sexy comedy Spread (2009). Kutcher as a womanizer who dumps Leigh. But hey, nothing a little stalking can't fix....

Is there a pattern emerging? Ashton Kutcher playing the hunky love interest of older women? Sure, in What Happens in Vegas (can't wait to see it!) his love interest played by Cameron Diaz is only six years older. Ms. Leigh is a tad older than that. And in Personal Effects (2009) he gets close with Michelle Pfeiffer? Oooh, baby. Well, I totally can see him with all these actresses. If we're headed for a remake of (a slightly older) Harold and Maude, may I suggest Angela Lansbury? Sweet lady. But back to....

Spread. Page 6 claims that Laura Linney was in talks to replace preggers JJ Leigh. Sure. That would be about as inspired a film-couple as Edward Burns and Angelina Jolie (Life or Something Like it). Hell no.

Let's see who they'll come up with next...
