We couldn’t care less about tripe like Valentine’s Day, which plops into theaters tomorrow.

In this case I think it was appropriate to remove hints of a gay romance from the movie trailer. The reveal was meant as a surprise plot twist—one that would have been completely flattened had the trailer somehow provided a spoiler. NY Mag is trying to make hey out of something this really quite innocuous.
Tripe? Come on! Valentine’s Day was a cute little feel-good romance movie, and one finally intended for Gay and straight audiences alike. Be kind.
