You Know, I Was So Bored Once that I F**ked a Dog

There’s a diner scene in 500 Days of Summer (due out July 15th; go see it, or I won’t be your friend anymore) where Summer (Zooey Deschanel) is explaining to her boyfriend, Tom (Joseph Gordon-Levitt), that they aren’t getting along very well anymore. Actually, rather than describe the scene, I’ll just let you watch it:

Anyway, Cinemash — over on MSN — has this new web series dedicated to recreating famous scenes from movies. Their first effort, actually, is a famous scene from Sid and Nancy, only Zooey Deschanel is playing Sid Vicious while Joseph Gordon-Levitt is playing Nancy, which — in a way — invalidates my man crush. JGL is a cool motherfucking cucumber, but he makes a lousy lady. Still, it’s a killer clip, which you can see over on Cinemash. And you should. Because it’s awesome. And so is 500 Days of Summer, which you should also see. It opens on July 15th. Have I mentioned that yet? OK, but is it on your calendar? No. I didn’t think so. Mark it. Fun fact: God hates people who don’t see 500 Days of Summer. She told me herself.

yeah, fuck this!

and bring me some wizards.

Yeah yeah but we don't get it until September or something. I am not amused.

Oh dear. I couldn't watch all that. She sounds Australian, and looks like Fairuza Balk. Er the fact that she looks like FB is not off putting, just so I'm clear. But this was kind of embarrassing.

Whatever. I just came for the dog-fucking. Rather, I just came from dog-fucking.

What if I see it, say, the 17th? Since the 15th is a Wednesday, and a school night, and a work night too? Whereas the 17th is Friday night, and I don't have to be up Saturday for any reason? Will you still be my friend as long as I see it sometime during opening weekend?

Inquiring minds want to know, Dustin. I want to know!

Yeah this movie looks bitchin there is no denying that, but come on HP trumps in the nerdsphere and many movie snobs are also big geeks. But July 16th I'm there! (although I doubt it'll ever come to my movie theatre so it is a moot point) CURSE YOU MIDDLE AMERICA.

I can say, with as much sincerity as one can have at 9 in the morning, that I have absolutely no interest in 500 Fucking Days of Goddamn Summer.

It looks like one of those "Quirky McFeel-Good eats an overpriced sandwich from a snazzy restaurant you've never heard of and he talks about how GOOD the sandwich is and how unexpensive it was and gosh, aren't the Killers great? But they were better when nobody heard of them" movies.

Now excuse me, while I order an entire Domino's pizza (with a coupon I got from the Shopper, which gets me somd Mtn Dew for the Frizzee, Score Brah!) and watch Transmorphers: Fall of Man in peace.

When the fuck does Halo: Reach(around) come out?

Fuck off with this. Its in limited release on the 15th. I'll have to wait 3-4 weeks again like I did with Away We Go. Now you're just being cruel.

I'll actually be in Boston on the 15th and then in Cape Cod that weekend. Can anyone tell me if it'll be out there? I mean, I'll be visiting a friend and it seems unlikely that her grand tour of Boston for me involves seeing a movie, but I can always check.

Of course, I'm seeing mostly because I luuurrrvvess me some JGL and I want to watch and feel like I could be a much better girlfriend that Zooey Deschanel and so we will inevitably meet and fall madly in love. And then one day, we will discover that our love can only deepen by adding Taylor Kitsch to our relationship and the three of us will live in a big house somewhere warm and I'll be happy FOREVER.

I'm looking forward to 500 days as much as anyone, but the only way I'll see it on the 15th is if someone buys my plane ticket to one of the cities that it is actually playing in. Hooray for living in the middle of buttfuck nowhere!

I'm not watching that scene but I'll watch the other one. Gotta stay pure for the film!! And I'm pretty sure that it's not opening anywhere near me until the 17th if at all. *tear*

I ended up seeing 500 Days of Summer yesterday and I enjoyed it immensely. I'll admit that I too was worried about it being another "quirky", "atypical", and "unconventional" love story but these fears were quelled about halfway through the film. It really is fantastic and sweet and well worth seeing. That, and Joseph Gordon-Levitt is really cute. Maybe not as cute as he was in Brick, but there's not much of a complaint to be made there.

I marked this film down near the beginning of the year of movies that I wanted to see, it included, April Showers, The Brothers Bloom, Adoration, and Away We Go.

That scene was a tad awkward though. It's like every other diner scene. When Harry Met Sally, Fight Club, is it required that a weird love story have a diner scene?

"500 Days of Summer (due out July 15th; go see it, or I won’t be your friend anymore)"

Dustin?

Don't be that guy, okay? I feel like you want us to think you're joking. But we all know you're not joking and it's a little awkward. I think you're the Joseph Gordon Levitt character (calm down, he's not that damn cute) and we're the Zoey Deschamel character (fuck off Katy Perry) and we are going to get stabby if you don't stop being so needy.

Hey, you're still our best friend !

As much as I'd love to see this bit of indie quirkiness, I'm saving that date and the attending middle aged shame for the Ginger Weasley Goodness.

@ Carrie
How in the name of almighty Godtopus can you hear that accent as Australian?

Posted by: igor at July 9, 2009 2:58 AM

The only thing cuter than Zooey are the people who actually think this may get any form of a release over 400 prints or the fact that it will last more that 3.842 seconds in the overcrowded shit pile that is this summer's films.

And yes, I'm looking at you too, Harry Potter.
