John Cusack and Neve Campbell Back Together
PattyCaked
EVERYONE can rest easy: John Cusack's love life is back on track. A few months
after breaking up with "Scream" star Neve Campbell, the pair have reconciled.
Cusack and Campbell repaired their ruptured relationship over the last two
weeks while secluded in a secret lust nest on an island in the South Pacific,
we're told. Cusack, a veteran Hollywood swordsman whose tally sheet rivals that
of Scott Baio, just returned to the U.S. in time to promote his new Miramax
flick "Serendipity."

Actually, a coworker of mine saw John and Neve together at the Hollywood Bowl
just over two weeks ago (I live in L.A.). So, they're definitely an item
again.
Also, I just saw a test screening for "Serendipity"...
-- RELAX, NO SPOILERS --
This magical little movie is oozing with John Cusack charm. Jeremy Piven is
truly wonderful as his best friend. Kate Beckinsale is super sweet in this,
although her character is a bit maddening in the beginning. (Hey, in my book,
anyone who meets and immediately has big chemistry with a guy like John Cusack
but decides to test the karmic-New-Age-foo-foo waters has discovered a new
species of stupid. But then we wouldn't have had our story, so I guess that
shows me.) :) The scene stealer is Eugene Levy, the guy who is also in
American Pie 2 right now. He plays a store clerk who John and Jeremy enlist
for help, and he's a scream.
Anyway, as a John Cusack fan and hopeless romantic, I enjoyed it very much.
Some cranky, jaded film industry guy was sitting behind me, complaining, "How
many of these films can he do?" I was about to turn around and say, "As many
as he freakin' wants! We love him!" But then I realized he was a waste of
breath. Obviously the guy just didn't want to be there. But I did, and I
enjoyed it.

Thanks for the report, Maria! It's very cool that you took the time to tell us
about the test screening. How did you get so lucky?

Awesome! How did you get to do that?

I totally agree. But, I'm just curious...what are the
"karmic-New-Age-foo-foo-waters?" I'm pretty I get the gist of what you're
saying, but...could you give me a specific definition? It sounds interesting.
:)

Yeah..."High Fidelity," "Being John Malkovich"....they're all the same.
:P
Sounds like you had fun! Thanks for your spoil-free review!

Hey Patty and Beth!
Here's how it works:
In L.A., you sometimes run across people at malls, theaters, and other venues
who work for film studios and distributors. They are usually holding up
clipboards announcing passes to screenings of new films. They want to test out
the product on a live audience, and they carefully control the demographics of
that audience, such as age and occupation. I just happened Thursday night to
be going in to another theater to see _The Others_, when I saw a guy holding up
a clipboard with (amongst other print) the words "Serendipity." He asked me
some questions about my age and occupation. I couldn't be over 34 or work in
the entertainment/media industries. As I fit the criteria, he gave me a form
to fill out later. I then had to RSVP over the phone to the film testing
company, and they gave me a password for the form I filled out. I had to
arrive at the screening 1 hour early -- first come, first serve -- and my form
was checked as I stood in line. Then I was given a ticket to enter. I noticed
that some people had pink tickets and others gray. I'm not sure what the
difference was, but I didn't care at the time because I got in. :)
When you see the movie, you'll know what I mean when I say Kate Beckinsale's
character "tests the New-Age-foo-foo waters." ;-)
Cheers,
Maria
