Julia Roberts, LOL!

Were you guys aware that you LOVE Julia Roberts’ laugh? No?

When I’m made to think of it…sure, she is a lovely gal. She has a lovely laugh, why?
(Well, it’s more of a cackle now that I’m thinking, but …yes. )

Why are you asking us this, Voodrew?

Well, here’s the thing. One of my tragic character flaws is that I overanalyze things quite a bit. I recognize patterns and trends and get annoyed by them quicker than most. I go from casual observer, to John Nash in Beautiful Mind, making charts and crap in the shed behind my house with very little provocation.

I was working the other day, and the trailer for the new movie Valentine’s Day came on in the background. I wasn’t paying much mind until I heard Julia Roberts’s famous cackle, and then I looked up.

(You will find said cackle below at 0:14)

I had a thought in the back of my mind that was something akin to “Oh that Julia Roberts, seeing her happy warms my heart. I remember that laugh way back when I saw the trailer for Pretty Woman, when Richard Gere snaps the necklace box down onto her finger.”

Heh, and that Duplicity trailer.

Oh and…the Stepmom trailer.

Wait…wait a second.

Wait……That friggin’ cackle is in almost every FRIGGIN’ TRAILER!

Because it’s impossible for me to let anything like this go, I went to the Youtubes, and I just started searching for Julia Roberts movie trailers.
I’ll be (*&$%*)ed if almost every single one of her movies has her laughing that deep…hearty…cackle somewhere in the trailer.

Usually following a “Woo” or a “Starring Julia Roberts.”

Sure you have the Mary Riley’s, the Charlie Wilson’s Wars and the Sleeping with the Enemys which have nary a cackle, but think about this…
Almost EVERY ONE of her movies, that do not have her laughing in the trailer bombed the Box Office. Conspiracy Theory, Confessions of a Dangerous Mind. I know I know, logic would dictate it’s not about the trailer; it’s that we want to see her light hearted roles.

Let me just put this out there, do they make it point to show Jennifer Aniston’s laugh in every trailer? Ellen Page? Jodie Foster? Catherine Zeta Jones?
