500 Days of Summer [Sundance 09]

[modage]

Boy gets girl and boy loses girl in convoluted, sometimes cloying but ultimately winning fashion in "500 Days of Summer." Stylish feature debut by longtime musicvideo director Marc Webb goes out of its way to take an unconventional approach to telling one of the oldest stories in the book, only to prevail by embracing the fact that the fundamental things apply -- a cute leading couple, a rooting interest in their welfare and a genuine feeling for heartbreak and the belief that life must go on. Set for July 24 release, this looks like a real commercial winner with young audiences.

The Worst Trailer Narration I Have Ever Seen, But I Still Want To See This:

The Worst Trailer Narration I Have Ever Seen, But I Still Want To See This:

Sweet Jesus, how could Searchlight let this happen? I'm so excited by what I'm seeing on screen but at the same time my ears want to vomit.

[RegularKarate]

UGH!  Her name is Summer... gross

I'll watch this because I have an eye-boner for Zooey and it looks like it could be good... it also seems like the search is still on for LaFontane's replacement.

[MacGuffin]

New Trailer here.



That never happens to me when I listen to The Smiths. 



for people who have Flintstone age computers.

Garden State - Zach Braff + Joseph Gordon Levitt = me in the theater.

Zooey Deschanel equal to or greater than Natalie Portman.

[pete]

those shots of kissing...wow.
yeah, I would've groaned at the lines and the cuteness if it weren't for those two movie stars.

[modage]

why can't every movie be this movie!  this might be terribly twee, but it looks great.

[Stefen]

Zooey Deschanel equal to or greater than Natalie Portman.

Blasphemy! She's like a broke and penniless version of Nat Portman. Nat Portman is the myspace angle and Zooey Deschanel is the actual eventual disappointment. She's great, but Nat is a goddess.

Gordon-Levitt has been awesome at picking scripts the last few years, so this will probably be great. But he's also in that G.I. Joe movie, which looks like shit and could mean he just said, "Fuck it" and is picking the most commercially viable options available. Accolades are great, but accolades don't pay the bills and a former child actors gotta eat.

Blasphemy! She's like a broke and penniless version of Nat Portman. Nat Portman is the myspace angle and Zooey Deschanel is the actual eventual disappointment. She's great, but Nat is a goddess.

YES!

once again stefen we agree, nat is one of a kind...plus, she would kick zoo's ass.

[Stefen]

Fernando, you have great taste in women.

[RegularKarate]

This trailer won't load for me, but Zooey > Portmanx10   

meaning one Zo-Desch is still better than ten Nat-Pos.

Sorry... I could stare at her all day. 

[Stefen]

Yeah, but you have to wear glasses.

Fernando and I have perfect vision. We don't even need binoculars when we're sitting in a tree outside Kate Winslet or Natalie Portman's house.

Zooey Deschanel: a cheaper version of Natalie Portman ('09)

but seriously, how can you not love this.

[Fernando]

oh i like zooey, but she's no portman..

This trailer won't load for me

same here..

[MacGuffin]

This all begs the question: Who does Silias want to see naked more?


EDIT: New Trailer link added.
