Sorry Trent, normally I agree with your views however on this subject I kinda feel you sometimes take things too personal when they are not a huge deal. It’s a twist ending, so it’s not advertised all over the trailer, calm the F down. Go get some eggnog :)

Did you ever stop to think that maybe they wanted to keep it a surprise? Everyone would think that a big name like Bradley would be with Julia… but SURPRISE… he’s actually gay. Seems like a pretty cool plot twist to me.

You guys need to stop reacting. Not everyone is out to get gays. Gosh. So lame.

I wouldn’t be surprised if they were doing this. Although they may not have a problem with gay people (obviously not), sadly many members of the public do.

That said, a love story between Bradley Cooper and Eric Dane? DAMMMNNNN. I am watching.

it is sad indeed. i had two friends see a single man and one left not realizing it was a movie about a mans boyfriend dieing. i was kind of shocked when he said he couldn’t finish it. unbelievable. however, i am super stoked to watch a single man.

about valentines day… i do still want to see it but i find that the fact they couldn’t leave in a gay coupling is pathetic. :/

@Trent

There is no need to patronize me. In no way did I say (or imply) that “it’s cute that gay relationships are treated like a surprise, trick ending meant to fool people into thinking they don’t exist and then SURPRISE there it is.” You took my comment and misconstrued it, just like this entire post has done with the preview. You say that “It would be far too obvious if in a movie about love that features a large cast of heterosexual relationships they decided to include a single gay relationship and treat it as normally as they would treat any of the hetero relationships without making it a gimmick. ” Well if you actually saw the movie first before making such comments you would see that that is in fact what they do with the gay relationship. The surprise is not that they’re gay, the surprise is to see who their significant other is. Eric Dane’s character who is a star NFL quaterback has a very powerful coming out scene which involves a televised press conference. There is nothing about that which is homophobic, in fact the other characters and press people treat this as “normal” as they do the hetero couples in the film. I don’t think in the real world the media/agents/publicists/etc. would be as accepting and nonjudgmental as they are in the film if, for instance, Tom Brady had a coming out press conference, do you?

The surprise scene when you find out the two are a couple is actually one of the best parts of the movie and the interaction between the two is very intimate and sweet, more than some of the straight couples in the film. It is far from a gimmick, as you call it. By leaving it out of the trailer, it makes their coupling all the more special.

Also for those that think the trailer shows Bradley Cooper and Julia Roberts as a couple, you find out immediately that is not the case because she is married and her husband is the topic of conversation. So, again, you can’t jump to conclusions based on a two minute trailer.

If you don’t want to see the movie after all of this then that is your prerogative, but by jumping to conclusions you have taken what was one of the best parts of the movie and turned it into something negative and degrading. It is ignorance like this that continues to breed homophobia in this world, when movies like this are actually taking steps forward to show that gay couples are as normal as straight couples.

I agree with Addison
