: The mystery of a real-life couple (or ex-couple) playing a couple on-screen can
affect your reaction. Kubrick used this to great effect in EYES WIDE SHUT, but
usually it doesn't work out well -- you're just searching them to see what the "real
Bennifer" are all about, rather than focusing on the characters.
: Man, all I can say is, if only those jackasses hadn't insisted GIGLI come out first...
~ and wasn't it shortly after Eyes Wide Shut that Cruise and Kidman broke up?
Maybe it's a Curse!!
I remember when Kevin announced they were postponing JG for Gigli and I wish it
had the been the opposite choice too. Oh well. What's done is done and I'm sure
JG will do fine. Although now I'm reading a lot of Affleck "oversaturation" press.
