Well, I will say the same thing I said when the How Do You Know trailer came out: “I actually like romantic comedies, the problem is just that to so many of them are terrible, but I hope this one is good!” (I didn’t say that here. I didn’t write about that trailer. I said that to a friend of mine. We talk in very complete sentences completely devoid of hesitation or colloquialism.) Well, we all know how THAT turned out. But today is a new day, and this is a new romantic comedy trailer. It could go either way! I like all the actors? The one thing that does bother me right out of the gate is the Hollywoodian insistence that divorce is a mistake. Like, a) not really, divorce actually saves a lot of people from being trapped in an unhappy life and is usually the end result of a long, miserable, and exhausting war of attrition, not some flippant choice made out of hand, and b) YOU BASICALLY INVENTED DIVORCE, HOLLYWOOD. It is specifically the idealized and wildly unrealistic romantic notion of what love SHOULD be generated by countless Hollywood depictions of pre-scripted, fantasy romance that has led so many people to find themselves dissatisfied and disillusioned with their own relationships, even when their own relationships might be very good relationships! And now Hollywood is going to constantly tell everyone that this, too, is getting it wrong? Hey, Hollywood, do people–other than the 1980 U.S. Olympic hockey team, so do not say the 1980 U.S. Olympic hockey team–ever get it RIGHT? Asshole?
Eek. Maybe this can’t go either way…Apparently this trailer makes me very angry. I hate it. Don’t see it. Just kidding. Do whatever you want! THIS IS AMERICA!

No. Nope. Sorry, “Crazy Stupid Love.”
But if you’re churning out yet another formulaic, “can two people keep it together while their marriage is falling apart,” film, sprinkled with a healthy dose of the “young stud teaches old dog how to be a player,” cliche, then you do NOT get to make fun of “Twilight.”
“Divorce is always bad. If two people were married, they should stay together no matter what.”
#HollywoodPostIts
Which is basically what Gabe said. What is it, 9:30? Well, back to bed.
YOU’RE WEST COAST!

Don’t forget the healthy dose of “Young Stud teaches flailing Nerd how to be more Young and Studly, but then in the end the Nerd realizes that to be Truly Cool he should Just Be Himself and then also he drops some Wisdom Knowledge on the Young Stud after said Stud realizes how shallow and empty his narcissistic lifestyle really is.”
On a related note, has anyone ever noticed how all these romantic comedies have the same exact plot as Mighty Ducks?
Didn’t you know Mighty Ducks was a romantic comedy?

Coooooooooooooooool title.
I liked it better the first time when it was called Hitch!
No, wait, I’ll probably like this version much better.
I smell another Oscar for Ms. Marisa Tomei!
Apparently, This Is My Nightmare is out of pocket today, but she forwarded some correspondence that she asked me to share with you all.
*ahem*
“Regarding Ryan Gosling, I’d hit that. Hard. So hard. Harder than all the Die Hard movies put together then dipped in liquid aircraft grade titanium.”
End of note.
See, that’s obviously fake. She is a lady monster, and thus does not know about such things. More like:
“Regarding Ryan Gosling, I’d hit that. Hard. So hard. Harder than all the teflong bundt pans put together then dipped in liquid aircraft grade decoupage glue.”
what kind of women do you know?? Upper East Side moms?
Apparently, the kind who think “teflong” is a word. Typo or not, that is fun to both say and type, and I am now determined to turn teflong into a real thing that really exists.
Hey! I’m a lady monster, and Die Hard is my favorite Christmas movie! I watch it every year to get into the holiday spirit.
(PS-Regarding Alan Rickman I would hit that. Very truly yours, Baby Friday.)
Thanks, I was at work and I just got home! Good looking out, FLW!
Now this is what I have to say:
OMG! OMG! OMG! OMG! OMG!
How could you not want to hit this?!
Wasn’t that the working title of “Eat, Pray, Love” when it was still in production?
Eat Crazy. Pray Stupid. Love Love. Die Hard.

The first thing I thought when I finished watching the trailer: It’s pretty much impossible to lose a game of Six Degrees of Kevin Bacon.
I have nothing against romantic comedies as a genre. I actually have nothing against any genre, per se. I am, however, not fond of regurgitated cliches vomited upon the screen with the expectation that because it is packaged as Romantic, or Explodey, or anything else, the targeted demographic should run screaming with hears in their (our?) eyes. So I am not really excited for the 40 Year Old Date Night Hitch, Actually. It might beat the odds and be great, but I will not hold my breath.
I am, however, happy for thisismynightmare. So much shirtless Gosling!
“I actually have nothing against any genre, per se.”
Not even snuff?
Clothed Gosling ain’t too bad either. The man knows how to wear a suit!
This one’s for DMN:
Nightmare is going to be so happy that everyone has thought of her in this thread!
I am so very happy! BRB, I have to make a REALLY big lunch now, if you know what I mean, after watching the above gif!
I’d like to take this moment to add to the list of rom-com grievances by asking WHAT is Hollywood’s deal with making it seem like being a hot womanizing sex-god gigolo is a BAD thing? FOR THE LOVE OF ALL THINGS GOOD, DON’T STOP SPREADING THE R-GOS AROUND!
I’m not going to even pretend to be too cool for this movie or make fun of myself for wanting to see it. I am going to see this, I am going to love it, and I’m probably going to buy it on DVD. Twice. (One will be an accident but I’ll keep both anyway.)
I’d see it too. It doesn’t seem like the usual “Matthew McConaughey is New York’s hotshottiest lawyer — with the brain of a child. But has he met his match in hotheaded wedding planner Megan Fox?”
Maybe Steve Carrell is the new Hugh Grant. (The guy who makes rom-coms acceptable.)
Yea all I wanted to write here was “something something Missing thisismynightmare” but I’ve apparently been beaten to the punch. several times.
Spending a few hours with Steve Carrell, Ryan Gosling, Emma Stone, Julianne Moore and Kevin Bacon seems okay to me.
To use an analogy you guys can understand, in this film Steve Carrell = Mel Gibson and Ryan Gosling = The Beaver.
Steve Carell plays an awkward guy who doesn’t know how to date. Again.
Pretty sure he had that velcro wallet in 40 yo Virgin too. Like that is just the hugest sign ever that a guy is a loser.
Marissa Tomei’s pussy has restorative powers for down-on-their-luck men. #hollywoodpostintnotes
Yet her biological clock just keeps on ticking.
So Ryan Gosling makes out with Emma Stone and hangs out with Steve Carell. That’s fine. Cool. Good. Leave no fantasy of mine not lived out, Mr. Gosling. I insist, the life I’ve always dreamed of is yours for the taking. Apparently. Dick.
Crazy, Stupid, Fudge #chocolatemovies
Guys, you’re missing the most important thing: Brendan Fraser is in this movie! It’s GUARANTEED to be good!
Brendan Fraser has always confused me. He’ll be going along making Monkeybone and Bedazzled or George of the Jungle or whatever Hollywood Post-It and then suddenly he’ll be all “Okay guys, I’m just gonna go make Gods and Monsters now” or all “I’m totally gonna star in The Quiet American now.”
You’re either a poop actor in poop films or an awesome one in awesome films. Stop confusing me.

I think he likes making movies for his kids. And that’s cool, he doesn’t pretend they’re good, he just has fun. I respect that, I guess.
Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck this.
I thought I might want to see this, and even if it is great I’m not going to see it. I forgot that you have to say the title of the movie when you go to the movie. There is no way I’m saying “Crazy Stupid Love” out loud.
What is it with all these movies suggesting we have a “soul mate”? When Steve Carrell asks the kid how he can say that when he’s only 12, the answer is BECAUSE SOUL MATES ARE A CONCEPT FOR 12-YEAR-OLDS.
Seriously, Hollywood: make a movie where two people are “soul mates” living in Paris, France, but then one of them gets transferred to Barstow. Are they still soul mates in Barstow? No they are not. I bet they don’t even both go and try.
Call it “Contingent, Stupid Love.” You’re welcome.
Hahahahahahaha, Barstow.
I got a little choked up watching this trailer, which means A) I have a vagina, and B) it is going to be terrible because I only cry during terrible movies.
Needs more Julianne Moore crying.
Look how many people we love are in this movie! It has to be at least decent you guys!
What really gets my goat about these movies is the insistence a suit, haircut and super confidence can get you all the ladies like Ryan, as he strolls through each and every bar.
Or could it be the fact that he is RYAN FREAKING GOSLING with a body like a demi-God and a face that slices through lady pants (eww); I am a straight man by the way, JUST SAYIN’!
Can someone explain Gosling’s accent in this one? I’m disturbed by it..
