I was checking my Amazon account today because I couldn't remember the DVD release date (patience has never been my strong suit). The date? September 20th.

Another Alex day.

Not sure if this is the right place for this, but Eric Christian Olsen, the actor who played Clive (JLo's pet store friend that she tried to hornswoggle into donating sperm) is going to be a series regular in NCIS LA. He showed up in a couple of episodes this season, his function being the undercover LAPD detective that works with the NCIS types. Liked him better in NCIS LA than in BUP, although in all fairness, he didn't have much screen time in BUP.

Oh goody, goody, goodies!!!!



I was so crazy busy at work when it hit the theaters that I never got to see it. I have been not-so-patiently waiting for this announcement... and isn't that the same date that H50 debuts? If so, CBS marketing is hitting on all cylinders, finally.

Actually, the date Red gave was for the UK release....the US release for BUP is August 24...

[HotMicks]

Yay - even sooner! Thanks, DSR.

BUP just got a plug on the summer tv show, The Glades.
The show's cop was interviewing a murder suspect, who was using as his alibi his date night movie watching with his girlfriend... they preferred romantic movies..."The Back Up Plan, The Wedding Planner, anything with Sandra Bullock in it."

Of course he's claiming they watched it on DVD... so perhaps the cop should bust him for an illegal DVD.

I thought this was interesting. Glad that BUP made it out first. Nice mention of Alex's participation.

Hee hee! "one hot property" ? That's one interesting description...

[allegrita]

Thanks for sharing that, GA! Yeah, I'm very glad BUP came out first. And Alex is definitely one hot property... beach-front property, these days...

Well, they get the attraction. They didn't quite get Stan and why he stayed around. So they probably didn't get the whole concept of being in love. But, then again, romantic comedies have a hard time being taken seriously.
I'm glad that BUP came out first, too. And I think they are still very different films, as I got from the trailer and reviews the notion that Aniston's movie is more about the father-kid-relationship than about the troubles and toils of pregnancy.

I hope all you US ladies are gearing up to receive/buy your DVDs this week (you lucky, lucky people) and I expect (not request, expect) your reviews of the extras, okay?

The box office is still rising, amazingly. Here are the latest numbers:

$37.5m USA
$39.7m worldwide

$77.2m total
