It’s official! We are now annoying you with our coverage of 500 Days of Summer. At this point, if you aren’t familiar with the film yet: Welcome to Pajiba. Hang out. Stick around. Throw shit at the commenters. But watch the second trailer for 500 Days of Summer first. And then you, like me, can get annoyed with everyone below who mocks Zooey Deschanel, chalks the movie up as another overly quirky indie flick, or mocks Hall & Oates (you bastards).
Yes: We’ve already reviewed the 500 Days of Summer. We named it the most anticipated anti-blockbuster of the summer. And we showed you the first trailer. But: This one is the new international trailer. And come mid-July, I’m going to come to all of your houses personally, sit behind you, and tap on your shoulder, asking “Have you seen it yet? Have you seen it yet?” until either you call the police because there’s a strange white man in your house or you go see the fucking movie.
Deschanel is sweet and cute and sexy and quirky... and I don't blame that guy for wanting to be more than just friends, but if she wants to be just my friend and have shower sex she's more than welcome.
I'll promise I'll just stay a friend.

I will literally drag everyone I know to see this movie. Multiple times. And they have to pay for the popcorn, because that shit is expensive.
I do enjoy your level of devotion to this movie. So amorous. I had wanted to see it, but now I think I might hold off to get some white man shoulder tapping action!

I may be a pansy-ass liberal, but I do have guns, Rowles. Don't even try it.
Aw, shower sex! Adorable. And I've never found Joseph Gordon Levitt attractive before, but dang, those dimples are sexy.

Come mid-July I'm going to be in full on moving mode, but I'll try and squeeze this in, if only because I love some Joseph Gordon-Levitt. Also, it looks like the socially awkward guy from "Criminal Minds" is in this too and he's not so bad his damn self. Can't say Zooey Deschanel does anything for me though. Sorry.
Ahhhh I'm so psyched for this movie! I'm forgoing all other summer movies until this one hits so it will be that much better. Gotta see it early before everyone else loooooves it too. Don't want a repeat of the Juno/Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind/Little Miss Sunshine hype.
So happy to finally see JGL getting the press he deserves after he blew me away in Brick four years ago.
goddammit, Dustin. I'll be the girl walking out of this movie all blotchy and red-nosed and sniffling with a wad of damp kleenex being torn to shreds in my hands. Because I must see it, and I just know it's going to make me start crying about eight to ten minutes into it, and I won't be able to stop til it's over. And we're not talking pretty crying, either. Messy, shuddering, practically hyperventilating over my soda crying. Possible sobbing. Because that's how good it's going to be.
And then I'll come to your house and poke you repeatedly for making me go see it. So there.
I was going to see it anyway, but now I'm going to wait for Dustin to come to my house and annoy me about it. Then I'm gonna go to Dustin's house and fill his kid full of sugar. And then leave. Just when he's at his most riled up.
I have a lot of practice at this. It's what a good auntie does. Look, Pajiba Jr., Smarties and pixie stix! On a cupcake!
Zooey Deschanel's career choices constantly veer on the blade-thin line between greatness and horrific choices. Maybe this (and it looks fantastic!) will finally push her into the greatness territory. Here's to hoping that she won't follow this cinematic candy with another horrible Jim Carrey abomination (fingers firmly crossed)...

Dustin I have not watched the trailers as if I am doing the vulgar "chin flip," at you. If you come here fine, but my Pointer will piss on you and my wife will make you vaccum our pool.

I don't wanna turn on the sound here, but....tell me they didn't use that song. TELL ME! It's basically the one Hall and Oates song that I hate, and I had to suffer through it every time I saw the "Chuck and Larry" trailer.
We all know you won't step foot in CT so I'm not worried about you, Dustin.
But I'd go just to see JGL anyhoo.

This will never, ever come to my corner of the world, so shut up Dustin. I can't just cater to your every desire, you know! So if you're gonna come bug me at my house you better bring me a copy of the movie and then you can shut up about it.
Gah! After the atrocious Tin Man, I dislike Zooey intensely. She is NOT a good actress!! You cannot do wide-eyed stare to convey every single emotion and call that acting!
I will see this movie anyway. Because I believe in love.
Okay, I actually "snort laughed" at the last line... you got me...it's working!!!

won't see it. nothing against her,i actually like her... but after 'winter passing' i swore off formulaic indie movies for good. no "little miss sunshine" no "away we go"...basically if it has a poster with scribbly block print or zooey deschanel you can count me out.
Too damn cute. It's like a swarm of golden retriever puppies and kittens playing in a field of flowers. Too much! Asdlgkasldlaskdjglblah.

I am *not* slobbering in anticipation for this. It has all the prospects of 1.5 - 2 hours of "cute, cute, cute!" in store. SO not my type.
But - I'm willing to cut a deal.
If I see this - hellovan effin' big if - am I off the hook for 'Away We go'?
At least I made it through the trailer for this one without vomiting or going into spasms. Hell WILL freeze over before I see 'Away We Go.' Not even as a freebie.

Wait ... that strange white man at my house ... that's not you?
I thought that was you ...
All right, Edge. Play the blues.

Is this on "Stuff White People Like" yet? Because it reeeeaallly looks like a movie white people would like.
Posted by: A White Man at June 10, 2009 11:32 PM
I really want to see this. My problem is that JGL will always be 17 was fine when I was 17 but now I'm 23 and it's getting a bit creepy.
That's a long way, Dustin, to Amsterdam NL.
