he's just not that into you

SO, on my way to work this morning, I caught sight of this poster for a new movie coming up: He's just not that into you (FYI, for future references, I did not put the emphasis. That's the actual title). Whoa, who tipped off Hollywood that doing a movie based on my life would be a hit? But before I inmerse myself into a fresh rant about what the movie's all about, let me begin by stating we need a minute of silence to mourne the death of Hollywood's marketing talent. I mean, who the hell puts the emphasis on 'not'?? He's just not that into you not only sounds weird, but I'm positive is gramatically incorrect or something. Mrs. Steer, my second grade English teacher, wouldn't approve. What sort of brain dead, coked up idiot would hire the brain dead, coked up nut job that came up with this title? Looking at this poster made me yearn for fairer days, like when Love Actually was released. Now THAT was a good love movie. Really, Mr. Big Shot Hollywood Producers, you are killing me!

Now that that's off my chest, I can carry on. Apparently, the movie is based on a book. But not just any book, oh no. It's based on one of those self-help books that allegedly teach you everything from the mysterious of the male mind (seriously? if someone had discovered the mysteries of the male mind, she'd be proclaimed the ruler of the universe and we'd all hail her genius, don't you think?) to becoming a billionaire in a month and with absolutely no effort on your behalf (now THAT is ridiculous, and the worst part is that people actually believe it....jesus). Our good friends at IMDB informed me that the movie revolves around a girl named Gigi, her relationship problems, and all the bucket load of people around her and their relationship problems. Geez, that sounds awfully familiar...I'm positive I've heard that before...let me think....oh wait, I got it! IT'S CALLED LIFE PEOPLE. Why would I want to go see a movie that could pretty much be the story of my life, except that it will obviously end in everyone finding their true love and happily ever afters? Is it just me, or is Hollywood getting really good at producing tons of lame ass movies?

Anyways, as you can obviously tell, I'm not going to watch that movie, as a silent protest to the constant process of stupidization Hollywood seems to be imposing on us, like a really macabre Pavlovian experiment. They tempt us with moronic things like this movie, we respond to the stimulus not by drooling, but by handing over our cash. Sounds awesome.

jajaja, lo bueno es que yo soy la reclamona en las fotos de todos... La verdad es crispy, que desde que Hollyfuck existe, todas las peliculas que vemos son refritos de televisa pero con presupuestos exageradamente mayores...jajaja, que bueno que saques tu ira de esta manera, es muy constructiva... P.J.

La vi. Tenía ganas de reírme y, al final de cuentas, eso hice. No está tan mala, no deja de ser una peli acerca de la vida de otros, su drama y cómo hacer para dejar de ser una dramática. Me pareció muy bueno eso, en vdd. Lo único que no me parece que es sean una bola de incongruentes que olviden todo lo uqe han dicho por hora y 30 y luego todos tengan, bueno, su final muy merecido. Yo insisto, me reí como hace mucho no me reía en el cine jejeje.
