He’s Just Not That Into You Trailer
Sunday, November 30th, 2008
I was so happy that we no longer hear this HJNTIY phrase every three minutes and now I fear its resurgence.
What chance of success do you think this movie has? It has a huge cast including Scarlett Johansson, Drew Barrymore, Jennifer Aniston, Ben Affleck, Justin Long, Jennifer Connelly and Kevin Connolly. I just don’t think that the woman that needs to see this movie ever will. Because she’s never going to think it applies to her.
I remember one specific girl I knew who had a years-long relationship with a guy who wasn’t into her. He would tell her he didn’t love her and that they had no future and she would reply by asking him what he meant by that. As if he could have been any clearer. He would tell her to “fuck off” and she viewed that as him really making an effort to communicate. He had a one-night stand and she believed that his bad judgement was a result of his fear of the intensity of feelings he had for her. I tried to explain that sometimes a man is just not going to be interested enough. And it’s not always for some big meaningful reason like they feel that they don’t deserve happiness. So if you are trying to determine if a guy is into you or not, he isn’t. Doesn’t seem like we should need a book and a movie to grasp that concept.
Oh, allow me to save you some time and eye strain; the answer is no. No matter how many times you slo-mo, rewind, repeat, you cannot see Scarlett Johansson’s boobs at 1:45.
