Going the Distance trailer - I love it when Drew and Justin do a movie together. So far I’ve heard one good review, which is enough for me to want to see it. How close will it hit to home? I love the fact that the two of them have actually been a couple. In an interview with NY Mag’s Jada Yuan, he said the following:

“We’ve been through everything,” Long says, “the whole gamut of the heights of love to the depth of heartbreak. I mean, we’ve been on quite a journey. And the idea that a person that you’re in a relationship with can change you so drastically and have that deep of an effect on your life, just that idea, I mean, what a gift to be able to use that, to be able to create something from it that we can see again. It’s like a little time capsule. It’s a bit of permanence that usually doesn’t exist when you’re with somebody.”

Even more endearingly (he’s so eloquent!):

“The truth is, we do love each other. I pray to God she’s always in my life. We were friends before this, and at the heart of what we are and will be is friends. Two good, really dear friends, and that trumps anything else.” And then, shortly before press time, he calls me to say that, well, they might be reconciling.

I have a newfound appreciation for Justin Long. And on a tangent, a funny article by NY Mag on other common relationship issues that could become romcoms.
