 Re: (500) Days of Summer
I have to say, I loved this film. A lot can go wrong in this particular sub-genre of romcom but (500) Days of Summer is a winner from start to finish (or was it end to beginning).
It's really creative and takes several chances which all pay off for the audience (musical sequences, arthouse homage, split screens). Joseph Gordon-Levitt (who should be a leading man by now Hollywood) and Zooey Deschanel (SHE SINGS) were perfectly cast.
A+
One of the year's best films.

Joseph Gordon-Levitt is the the worst person in the world.

 Re: (500) Days of Summer
Joseph Gordon-Levitt has no one to blame but himself. Nobody forced him to give the most irritating, mannered and amateurish performance in the history of movies in The Lookout.
If I could strip SAG cards from 10 actors, he'd totally be one of them.

Of course you wouldn't hate Hitler, if you hadn't heard of the Holocaust.

 Re: (500) Days of Summer
I thought it was funny that the audience was 95% female (as opposed to Bruno which was also screening next door with 95% male). This film does not leave one with a great impression of the female species (the POV is male through and through). And while I loved Zooey's work in the film, I kinda hated many of the things her character did.
Oh and the soundtrack was great. The Doves, Belle and Sebastian, The Smiths.

 Re: (500) Days of Summer
Belle & Sebestian is shit.
Anyway, ten bucks says this'll be more loathsome than Juno, if the notebook-style poster is any indication. No, your sketches and ideas are not cute. Blow me.
Though I do love romance and Zooey.

 Re: (500) Days of Summer
My dislike for Juno is legendary. And that film didn't enter my brain at all yesterday. It's more like Garden State and Singles and High Fidelity than anything else.

 Re: (500) Days of Summer
While I am looking forward to this movie, it does look like Indie Romance Film 101.

 Re: (500) Days of Summer
One of the films I really want to see when I am in the States. It won't come out here until December, I think.
