Love and Other Drugs Trailer:
Jake Gyllenhaal and Anne Hathaway
Try to Redeem the Romantic Comedy

So despite the early murmurs that it might be a contender, the trailer for Love and Other Drugs  makes perfectly clear that it is not any kind of Oscar movie — but it still looks pretty good! Today’s second trailer for a romantic comedy that seems like it might actually be intended for adults stars Jake Gyllenhaal as a smooth Viagra drug rep who meets his match in the straight-talking Anne Hathaway, the kind of woman willing to show up at a guy's apartment naked (and who, though the trailer doesn’t belabor it, has some health problems). The two talk, banter, laugh, and kiss in a way that suggests they might actually like each other — crazy stuff! — before heading into slightly more serious territory. There may be people so burned by the atrocities of past rom-coms that they no longer feel anything when Jake Gyllenhaal chases down and boards a Greyhound bus to win back his one true love, but, well, those people have cold, cold hearts and, needless to say, are not us.

November? - Not to smash all your hopes, but here are the release dates from IMDB:

Country Date
USA 24 November 2010 
Finland 31 December 2010 
Germany 6 January 2011 
Russia 6 January 2011


The usual game. All Brokies talk about this great (or not so great) new movie. All Brokies? Noooo, there's a small, but significant enclave named Europe where poor Brokies must wait till next year, *sigh*

(With apologies to Goscinny et Uderzo) ;)

I think I totally forgot I live in Europe, Sweden.  ;D
And by looking at your schedule it doesn't look good for Sweden, we might even haft to wait in eternity....

That must be frustrating. Though if it's any help, remember that "next year" is only 42 days later, in this case.

Can anyone remember/realize/COMPREHEND that the first BBM NY/SF/LA release date was November 9 2005--which means that the new release will have been just over FIVE FUCKIN' YEARS--??

I can't even.

As the US cartoon strip character, 'Cathy,' would say: "ACK!!"

(No wait--now I get it--there are still 139 days left in 2010-- WHEW!!!!   :o  )

I wouldn't see it if it weren't them two, but it is, and it looks a little bit good.

Why is Jake Gyllenhaal
Covering His Mouth in the
Love and Other Drugs Poster?

9/8/10 at 11:00 AM



Love and Other Drugs is the Jake Gyllenhaal and Anne Hathaway movie that has been marketed — depending on which trailer you saw — as both a sex-forward romantic comedy and a serious-illness weepie. At right is the poster for the film, which seems to position the movie as the former (naked movie stars smiling in bed = sex-forward romantic comedy) — or does it? Ask yourself, why is Jake Gyllenhaal covering his mouth with his hand?

Yes, this is nitpicky, but, also, strange! Really look at that—it gets weirder the longer you stare. What is going on? Is Jake trying not to laugh? His eyes aren't smiling. Is he surprised? He doesn't look it, and besides, what's he surprised about? That a photographer showed up in his bedroom? Is he making the universal sign for "speak no evil"? Again, why? The poster doesn’t convey enough information about his character, or his relationship, for us to think he has a problem running his mouth.

Meanwhile, why is Hathaway so contentedly oblivious to whatever inner turmoil is going on with Jake and his mouth? He's not the one with a serious illness! She is! Is her illness the subtext of Jake's gesture? Like, don't ask Jake Gyllenhaal if this is a movie about Parkinson's disease or sex, because he won't tell you? He can keep a secret! This movie can keep a secret! The secret being, maybe it's not just a sex-forward romantic comedy?

Woah. Clearly, we have now spent more than a reasonable amount of time pondering the meaning of this poster, and are not sure we have arrived at a satisfactory explanation. Can you help?
