Terrible People

Dear Romantic Comedy Fans,

A note on this trailer:

If the guy you love doesn’t notice how wonderful you are until he’s on the verge of marrying your best friend, he’s not charming, he’s an idiot. If your best friend immediately goes after a guy you obviously like rather than helping you figure out how to get with him, she’s not actually your best friend. And it’s not borrowing to sleep with your best friend’s fiancee, no matter how much you like said fiancee.

BETTER STORIES, PLEASE.

Cheers,
Alyssa

After Dark

Now that I think about it, I’m actually rather surprised that Brandon Routh hasn’t been cast as an exceedingly good-looking vampire or werewolf or something—he’s that right mix of dark hair, pale skin, and freakish handsomeness. Turns out, he’s doing this instead:

I mean, this looks preternaturally silly, but I will probably see it anyway. Sam Huntington’s the best thing about the American version of Being Human. I like that after all this time away, we’ve made it back to the supernatural in New Orleans. As I said last Friday, I dig human mediators in strange worlds. And if this is a sign that Brandon Routh is wising up doing a hybrid James Marsden “I’m hot but a little strange” and Chris Evans “I look like an action star but am willing to parody action stardom,” thing, I’m all for it.
