Should be an amazing time. If you want a hint of how bad the higher ed is, just watch this trailer. m.youtube.com/watch?v=xwda...
negative · AI labelView post →🚨Casting Announcement🚨 Alison Burke (aka Tired Actor) has officially been cast as Olive Smith in the feature film adaption of Ali Hazelwood’s ‘THE LOVE HYPOTHESIS’. Release date not set as this is sadly not real, but if it was, Alison Burke should be cast. She’d be great.

positive · AI labelView post →I appreciate how The Love Hypothesis movie is going to singlehandedly introduce thousands of Star Wars fans to the concept of modern AU fanfiction.
positive · AI labelView post →Tom Bateman joining the film adaptation of The Love Hypothesis is a casting of epic proportions if you know the Star Wars — and Reylo — lore.

positive · AI labelView post →You know, it's a small thing, but one of the reasons I loved The Love Hypothesis (new romcom) is that besides the fact that Rachel Marsh is incredible and the film shows people from lots of different races and ethnicities being brilliant and doing science things,

positive · AI labelView post →I went on the internet to try to figure out why The Love Hypothesis elected to cast the weakest link cast member from the Tennant/Tate Much Ado as the love interest turns out there's a conclusive answer to that question but it has dealt me some serious psychic damage

neutral · AI labelView post →As a follow-up to this, it was quite instructive to watch Gregg Araki's I Want Your Sex the night after watching The Love Hypothesis. Not a romance, and the main relationship is anything but an OTP. But still the sex scenes are funny, sexy, and deeply rooted in character. (Also, just a fun movie.)

neutral · AI labelView post →I hope @rianjohnson.bsky.social knows he was thanked in the source material for the upcoming feature film THE LOVE HYPOTHESIS
neutral · AI labelView post →I think we need to have the following debate: Which movie more hilariously mischaracterizes academia: Just In Time For Christmas or The Love Hypothesis. There are definitely arguments for both. @jakemgrumbach.bsky.social if you haven't seen this, you're in for a treat.
neutral · AI labelView post →Contribution to the romance novel discourse: I was recently the only guy at a bookstore party for the movie premiere of The Love Hypothesis, based on Ali Hazelwood’s book of the same name, about a grad student who falls in love with the scary professor. The book originally began as a Reylo ship.
