The best thing about He's Just Not That Into You, a New Line release that was supposed to come out on 10.24.08, has been the very cool title. Perhaps that's the only cool thing about it. A 6.26 Life & Style article is reporting that the release date of this Ken Kwapis film, a romantic dramedy costarring Jennifer Aniston, Jennifer Connelly, Scarlett Johansson, Ben Affleck, Drew Barrymore, Justin Long and Bradley Cooper, has been pushed back to February 6, 2009. Which means, of course, that Warner Bros. distribution chiefs don't have a lot of confidence in it. Is there another way to interpret this, if true?

Well.

Chick Flick being positioned for just pre-Valentines Day? Or, if it's an anti-Chick Flick, it's being positioned as singleton counter-programming at Valentines Day?

As opposed to end-of-October where it might get lost among bigger films, among Oscar hopefuls?

That wasn't so hard...

Didn't MGM claim October is the new "dead zone" when it moved "Valkyrie" to February?

Valentine's Day, Valentine's Day, Valentine's Day.

There, three other ways to interpret it.

Too bad they couldn't have cast this movie with all the actors named Jennifer. Including the men.

Off-topic, but the Toronto Film Festival has made their first significant line-up announcement of the season:

The calendar for film releases is very much like the electoral map. It can always be changed.

For the good and well-marketed (as something new) release that compels people to see it, there are no "dead zones".

Don't know why they're moving "HJNTIY" up against "Ghosts of Girlfriends Past," which should defeat it handily.
The real Valentine movie is "Confessions of a Shopaholic" which is scheduled on the 13th.

"He's Just Not That Into You" is a "very cool title" ?

In terms of catch-phrases-cum-movie-names, I think it runs a distant second to "What Happens in Vegas."

This guy has posted his personal ad to the wealthy dating site called +++W E A L T H Y C H A T . C O M for several months. I just visited his profile page yesterday. It seems he has logged in recently. OMG, is he looking for a new relationship?

Good title, but from a three-year-old book by some cheeseball stand-up comedian and SEX AND THE CITY "consultant." Looks like a Big Brother finalist.

Jennifer Aniston, Jennifer Connelly, Scarlett Johansson, Ben Affleck, Drew Barrymore, Justin Long and Bradley Cooper

Which one plays the introverted bookish bespectacled one? And who plays her outgoing hottie BFF?

For those that don't recall, this was actually one of the main plot points of a Sex And The City episode long ago. Women learning "guy code" for not calling and learning "he's just not that into you." Miranda uses it as a freeing mantra after that. And yes, I will now deposit my testicles in the jar by the door on my way out...
