Movie Poster - 'He's Just Not That Into You'

There's nothing quite as ironic as irony.
Drew Barrymore, who has had a penchant for
latching on to any guy in the room, began dating
Justin Long on the set of a new movie, even though they had known each other for years before that. The
romance had been going very well, by all accounts, and then suddenly, Long (the
Mac from the Mac/PC commercials) broke off the relationship.
The irony is that the movie set on which their love
blossomed was
He's Just Not That Into You, which now replaces
50 First Dates as the most autobiographical Drew Barrymore movie title.
I'll tell you this, though: If she really wants to get back at Justin Long, she
should give squatty, pasty comedian
John Hodgman the lap dance of his life.
He's Just Not That Into You has a big cast, and even
manages to find room for a couple of actresses not commonly associated with
romantic comedies, like
Jennifer Connelly and
Scarlett Johansson. Of course, my piqued
curiosity is diminished significantly by two of my least favorite movie actors,
Ben Affleck and the perpetually overrated
Jennifer Aniston. However, Affleck has redeemed
himself in consecutive years playing George Reeves in Hollywoodland and
directing Gone Baby Gone. On the other hand, Aniston's just the worst.
Here's the new poster for He's Just Not That Into You, which is simple enough (that's always preferable to being too crowded), and sells the attitude of the movie. Of course, now I have to wonder if Barrymore received one of those little hearts from Justin Long.

Starring its stars in alphabetical order, because, like a Woody Allen picture, the writing is what stands out in this gem...
On set, I heard that Kevin Connolly was quick to point out to Jennifer Connelly that they were not related and it was therefor "OK".
Drew dumped Justin, not the other way around...but then who knows she may wind up marrying the guy.
