Some things in life are just inevitable.
Death.
Taxes.
Kids returning to school.
Partisan politics.
Child stars turning into adult train wrecks.
And bad Michael Bay movies.
Why the laundry list? Good question.
The answer is simple.
This week’s cheesecake selection was one of those foregone inevitablilities.
Say hello to Jennifer Aniston.
Yeah, I know.
I’ve had the picture in the file since The Bounty Hunter died stillborn in the theaters. Nobody makes a middling romantic comedy quite like Ms. Aniston these days. She’s clinging to the fraying ends of her Rachel persona for all she’s worth. She still wants to be there with you. She is willing to be there in a partial naked, but never really showing anything kind of way. She wants to be there for you the way Meg Ryan was before she had plastic surgery at the hands of the Joker.
That’s what makes today’s release of The Switch so interesting. Its not necessarily a romantic comedy. Its kind of dark, like The Good Girl. Her co-star is Jason Bateman, a long time friend who she hasn’t been romantically linked with (at least not as of this writing). In the grand scheme of things, The Switch is what passes for a daring choice by Ms. Aniston. The big question is whether or not audiences will buy it.
I think not.
Still, its release gave me a chance to post the picture and get that monkey off our backs.
