I saw a commercial for a flick called She's Just Not Into You, and was thinking that, hmmmm...here's a chick flick I'd watch, as it stars two of my favorites, Jennifer Aniston and Drew Barrymore. All of a sudden though, a familiar commercial face appeared, turning me against the movie. The guy in question is the guy from the PC versus Mac ads---the young hip Mac guy with the hair that looks like it's stuck to his head with grease and a voice that's stuck to the airwaves with twenty-something hipness.
An IMDB search tells me his name is Justin Long (can a name sound more Hollywood-ish?).
Maybe he's really not so horrible, and it's just the smug superiority of the Mac versus PC commercial that's turned me against him. Plus, the fact that I own a PC.

I just read today that he used to date Drew Barrymore! I thought that she'd wised up in the last few years.

I met him Detroit about a year back-seemed like a nice guy-a little into himself, as most actors are-but overall a nice guy...

Drew Barrymore broke up with 'Mac'?
Funny...she doesn't seem to be the 'PC' type!

Hate the commercials, love the actor. Justin Long is actually pretty hilarious when he's not being a smug asshole on the Mac/PC commercials. But it's just a job for him and thankfully he has done plenty of other acting work to redeem himself.
Good movies with Justin Long: Waiting... Accepted Zack and Miri Make a Porno Dodgeball: A True Underdog Story He's Just Not That Into You was an OK movie, but kinda boring. But definitely worth watching for Scarlett Johansson. Yum! |

A few years ago, Mac commercials plagued my TV. Now they re-emerged. Hopefully they land on a good grave.

How, exactly, is Mac 'smug'? He doesn't have a superior attitude, he doesn't smirk or enjoy PC's foibles, he just tells it like it is in a good-natured way. I can't say anything Mac has said or done in any of the ads I've seen can be labelled as 'smug'. Justin Long is the classic straight man to PC's (John Hodgman) stooge. I love these ads. They always make me laugh.

I'm just glad there is SOMEBODY out there that is willing to go up against the microsoft giant. Without Apple, wouldn't microsoft have pretty much a monopoly?

Macs screw up just as often, if not more than PCs with Windows installed. Seriously. They suck too.
