Pajiba

Mm, trailers that show the entire movie. Delicious.

Greetings from Israel to one and all.

In a call back to a previous roundup, " Thomas Kinkade's Christmas Cottage" goes on sale on HSX.com today.

By the way, when I first saw this preview during the last OC episode, I thought I was still watching the OC and I missed where Seth left town

'Remember when He's Just Not That Into You came out three years ago? You probably do. If you're a woman, you've undoubtedly heard of it'

No, I had no idea who this guy was or why he got a tv show. So thanks for clearing up that mystery I didn't bother to google.

Molly has a good point [yes, you've added Agent Bedhead]. Keep up the good fight boys, but you've got a long way to go, baby.

"...the trailer for In the Land of Women, which features Adam Brody..."

Ballocks. For a second I read "Adrian" instead of "Adam" and was enjoying sudden unexpected hot-and-botheredness...before morning coffee, even. Don't tease me like that.

"Ditto, Ranylt. It's a mystery why I find that man so sexy, but I'm not complaining."

Ditto to you both, although it's not such a mystery to me anymore. It's the confidence. That, and I already like un-stereotypically good-looking guys. I should stop saying that around my boyfriend, though, since he's decidedly sterotypically good-looking, and doesn't like it when I say that for some reason.

I also was forced to read "he's just not that into you" or whatever it's called by my Sex and the City-loving best friend from college. To me, it's fucking common sense. Then again, I may just be too lazy to sit around wondering whether or not the guy who hasn't called me back is "into me" or not. Bottom line--no guy is that busy that he cannot call you back. (Ever seen a guy play video games? Yeah. They have time to call you.)

Oh, and back to the Adam Brody movie--seriously, what is that guy saying before he clocks him? I'm half-expecting him to say, "Welcome to the OC, bitch!"

em, I believe the guy is saying "You think you can be stepping into my hood, and expect us to be scrapping directly?", though I may be mistaken.

Chris W, Brody must be in a state where 17 is legal if he is going to be making out with her like that in public.

Seriously, that title sucks. And it only makes me wish they would speed up that "Y: The Last Man" series in planning.

Sex and the City? He's Just Not That Into You? Garden Sate slightly altered?

Did I wake up in 2004?

I lived with a girl in college who wrote a senior paper on the characters from Sex and the City as allegorical representations of phases women go through while maturing into adulthood. Unfortunately for her, it was an upper-division feminist class; she did not score so well. Although I have seen SatC, I have never heard of a book or a movie called "He's Just Not That Into You", which is unfortunate as it is obviously a study on my college dating experience. I should really be getting royalties for that.

On a different note, the scene in the featured trailer where the questionably young girl hurtles herself into unsuspecting Brody's arms is one of the funniest and most obviously staged "She'll be coming after me by the time I count to five" situations. Serously, he slows down and turns while he opens his arms. Go watch it again, I'll wait.

"If you're a woman, you've undoubtedly heard of it; if you're a woman and know which "Sex and the City" character best fits you, you probably have several copies."

Way to reinforce those reductive and mildly insulting gender-based pop-lit stereotypes, guys!

Regarding the comments made by Molly and Jorden: what they said.

I remember my mom seeing the 'He's Just Not That Into You' Epi on Oprah and recommending the book to my sister and I. She thought it was really practical, woman-empowering advice because it's best to just keep moving along. I think it's an awful concept and infectuous and this actually really pisses me off. At least I would hope that the sure to be crap movie inspires some good feminist criticism. We are going nowhere... it's really hopeless.

In the Land of Women looks like a hot piece of shit. Why make a feature length movie when Lifetime is begging for movies with such honorable pedigree

I read little snippets of 'He's Just Not That Into You' and what I read had a lot of truth to it. I need to go pick it up tomorrow although I've been through enough shit to not need the advice of any sort of book again, but it'll be nice to compare notes with the book. Can't say I'll run to go see the movie though. I imagine it'll be a dumbed down version of whatever's in the book.

Okay, so this is a little random, and I despised The Beautician and the Beast too, but don't hate on Ken Kwapis. I'm a close friend of his nephew, and maybe Pajiba wasn't aware, but Kwapis actually won an Academy Award for his student thesis film. And in addition to "Freaks and Geeks," he also directed some of the American version episodes of "The Office." Both of which I love. And Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants--have you even seen or read it? Even though the book was medicore, I think the film made the rare jump from book to film without losing any of the character development or poignancy that made it appeal to so many 10 to 15 year old girls. It's a good book, it's just not an extraordinary book.

That said, his new movie sounds like it's going to be HORRIBLE. However, I am under the impression that people need to make money, even in Hollywood, so maybe that's all he's got right now. And Drew Barrymore's production company... *shudder*

P.S. I am not a fan of "Sex and the City" nor did I jump on the He's just not that into you bandwagon. And while Adam Brody is cute, In The Land of Women looks to be ridden with clichés and just generally atrocious, and not only because of the (creepy!) 11 year age difference between Brody and his poorly-acted love interest.

Word to Big Bird, molly and Jorden. Pajiba definitely needs more strong, talented female voices. It would only make your website stronger.

I read Pajiba religiously, but if you boys don't get something that is targeted at women, do not immediately write it off just because you don't have a vagina. I don't have a penis, but I can write coherently on why I won't be seeing Blades of Glory, and it has nothing to do with the fact that I'm not its target demographic.

I could go on for days about why I hate the book He's Just Not That Into You and the subsequent fame that it has brought Mr. Behrendt. I also hated half of the Traveling Pants movie because it ruined the stories of Lena and Bee, mostly with Alexis Bledel's bad acting. But, I loved the first and second Traveling Pants books, and I own all six seasons of Sex and the City. Daniel, I'm a Miranda, and I'm very of proud of that.

No matter how cute I think Adam Brody is, I won't be watching In the Land of Women, because the movie looks stupid. And if and when one of you writes a review of the movie for this site, please don't make the theme of your article, "I didn't understand this movie because I'm a guy." You can do better than that.

P.S. I liked Dunston Checks In. Mostly because I thought Graham Sack was cute. But Faye Dunaway was funny, too.

Bianca, you said what I wanted to say, just more eloquently.

Ok, I'm also going to rant because I've been pissed off by romantic films/books my whole life. I don't get it, ok? I didn't get sex and the city, I don't get Mean Girls, I don't get the quirky highly insecure girl who just needs the right guy to make her happy. None of it makes sense to me. When I was a kid I wanted to be a pilot and a spy, I'm an engineer, I don't cry much, etc. I'm SICK of people trying to tell me I'm not a real woman because of that, because I like Fight Club more than anything Meg Ryan has ever appeared in, because I don't obsess about men, because I don't fit in some little box marked "Girls". So can we just talk about films/books WITHOUT putting gender stamps on them?
I think Brody is delicious, but...for fuck's sake, that film is just begging to be ignored.

To Rebecca, as an older guy (too embarrassed to say how old) & faithful reader, I found a great amount of excellent posters on this particular article alone that can really help answer that "What happened to proud, strong, independent women?" question.
From Molly's "Damn, Daniel, crack a book" phrase (loved it!), through Claire's hilarious post, not to mention the regular posters like Rachel, Daphne, Vermillion, Samantha T, you yourself(?) and a lot of others who always have something insightful to read, it shocked me to go back and see so many of these entertaining comments from WOMEN, of all people!
And please don't mistake that for sarcasm, Rebecca or anyone else: I was simply laughing and thoroughly enjoying all these comments so much that I wasn't paying actual attention to whether a poster was male or female. Good writing, some of the best to be found online, is right here at good ol' Pajiba, and that includes the reviewers AND responders (which I humbly say as a rare responder).
BTW, didn't you 'P' guys mention awhile back that you had gotten "a girl" reviewer, if I remember your phrasing right? Maybe she only makes guest appearances? Just askin'.
