Why does the poster for the film 'He's Just Not That into You' put such an emphasis on the 'not'? I don't understand how putting 'not' in italics changes the meaning of the sentence in any way. I'm not saying it's grammatically incorrect, butI've run it through my head so many times that it's lost all meaning.
If the emphasis was on the 'He' or the 'You' I could understand it, and frankly they would both make more compelling titles.
'He's just not that into you." (OMG, but who is into me?!)
'He's just not that into you.' (OMG, he's cheating on me?!)
He's just not that into you. He just is not that into you. He just isn't that into you.

I think it's meant to be similar to how a stereotypical Californian would pronounce it, with heavy emphasis on the NOT. Like, totally.
