I wan't to watch "Love and Other Drugs"





Based on this poster of "Love and Other Drugs," I am thinking of possibly watching this movie tonight. It also might help that Anne Hathaway is nude in the film. But I am going to say it's the poster that makes me wan't to watch it. Because Anne Hathaway has been nude in like three other movies ("Brokeback Mountain," "Rachel Getting Married," and some straight to dvd "Havoc", I could have easily watched them....but no....I am choosing Love and Other Drugs due to a highly creative poster concept.

This makes me think of other films that have had such simple but very memorable posters

The 40 Year Old Virgin, with a beaming Steve Carrell with a warm backdrop that shows the expression that all he really wants is to just loose his innocence.

My first movie that I saw in the theater four times, Jurassic Park, has such a memorable movie poster that I could recreate it from my memory.

Then there is Amadeus, I remember when I was real young just looking around blockbuster (how nostalgic) and seeing this cover and interpreting the movie in so many ways from a Chinese Emperor to a new sci-fi epic. I finally watched the movie in 10th grade to finally realize it was about Amadeus Mozart.

The love and other drugs poster was very exclusive, Hollywood producers relied more on the naked star power of Anne Hathaway and Jake Gyllenhaal (really can't blame them on that business decision, it seemed solid). But any whose, I have a couple of more blogs to write. Feel free to talk to me in class if you want.
