Ugh, He's Just Not That Into You Is Looking Like The New Love, Actually

thumbnail icon: Ugh, He's Just Not That Into You Is Looking Like The New Love, Actually

There's a new poster for He's Just Not That Into You, the already-over-hyped February chick flick starring every actor in Hollywood under 40. The trailer has been out since May, when May-Me thought it looked funnyish like How To Lose A Guy In 10 Days, but now the poster is out, the leaves have fallen from the trees, and November-Me is back to sneaking suspicions that we might have another Love, Actually on our hands. You know, Love, Actually, the bona-fide "New Christmas classic" that every chick seemed to suddenly own on December first of last year and make you watch again against your will? What IS IT with that movie? The full HJNTIY poster and some more ranting about Love, Actually after the jump.

See? Everyone is in it. Way too many people to keep track of. Okay, so Love, Actually: I have a lot of friends who love it, and I respect that because I love a lot of bad things too. But you can't make an entire movie out of a montage. You just can't. It's not allowed.

What you can do, though, is make an entire movie that stars actual actors instead of Ben Affleck and that d-bag from the Wedding Crashers.

Love, Actually is awful. When I learn a friend likes it, I can never trust his/her taste in movies again.

I love that all the images of these actors are just slapped onto the poster with no regard for design. It's saying, "Look! Don't believe they're all in the movie? Here they are! You don't even have to read the poster! You're probably blind now from the shitty design anyway!"

Love, Actually is hateful cynicism masked as a sappy movie. It's just so British-ish.

okay that is a super lame poster. it appears as though they forgot the poster was due to the printers and tasked an intern to grab some stills from the dailies and slap them together in photoshop.

A shitty movie was pooped out by a terrible book which was based on one episode of a ridiculously-popular tv series which came from yet another silly book.

I hate you hollywood, die already.
