woah

She's not running for president.

I didn't know there were pollsters in Iowa clocking this shit.

Plus, you judge someone by the success of their last work. And though, as jigga pointed out, The Family Stone was an ensemble film, SJP headed that ensemble and it made 3x the budget.

I would be curious though to know the differences in people's movie-going habits based on geographic regions. (This is an idea me and AnaStezia kicked around a while ago here.)

You see The Family Stone? She, through her character, made a nice transition away from that stuck up girl to someone a little more middle of the road.

Jennifer Aniston can play the bitch?

Reese Witherspoon I'll give you, though I'm pretty sure that movie she did with Mark Ruffalo came and went quickly.

I thought Kate Hudson fell off post-pregnancy. (Failure to Launch just looks like a rehash of How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days.)

And has Naomi Watts even made the types of of movies Jennifer Aniston and SJP have been? I never saw The Divorce, but King Kong, The Ring, and 21 Grams don't make it seem to me like she's taking roles from either of them.
