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.
--- Quote from: serious crayons on August 14, 2010, 11:02:17 am ---That must be frustrating. Though if it's any help, remember that "next year" is only 42 days later, in this case.

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 )
Ellemeno:
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?
