500 days of summer



500days

Boy meets girl. Boy falls in love. Girl doesn’t.
i was browsing the fox searchlight website for some fresh indie films. and i found this new film 500 days of summer the trailer remind me Garden State specially the first part when Summer ( Zoey Deschanel) and Thomas (Joseph Gordon-Levitt) met on the elevator with thom listening to the smiths and Summer said "I love The Smiths..., I said I love The Smiths. That reminds me when natalie portman hands his headphone to zach braff and said "listen to the shins, it will change your life." im the shins and smith fan. For me that scene on the elevator was the catch of this film. it got my interest right there and then. I mean how many guys ever dream of meeting someone and start a conversation just because your listening to some music like the smiths or any non mainstream music. I remember one time i was just sitting on the couch on the lobby in our office and this half japanese girl sit beside me wearing some earphones, so i said hi, and ask what shes listening to? then she replied, nah, just some As I Lay Dying stuff. WTF!? i said to myself, thats just the start of a wonderful conversation talking about metal bands, and before we say goodbye we end up giving each others phone number and thats just the begining.

well more about this film, its a story of a boy meets girl but its not a love story, according to the narrator. hehe. and its a official selection on this years sundance festival. as i can see it on the trailer its a quirky romantic comedy, and based on some comments on imdb who saw this film on sundance its a great film.

only downside is, it will be released on theaters on july, and thats a long wait. and we're not sure if it will reach our shores, buts not really a big deal for me since we have torrent engines here. hopefully someone will leak a screener copy of this film in those torrent sites. if you found one send me the link. haha!

qoutes on this trailer:
I love The Smiths..., I said I love The Smiths
They use call me anal girl. I was very neat and quirky. (lol)
It was love, not Santa Claus
I think im Sid Vicious, no im Sid. Oh, so Im Nancy. (haha)


oh by the way another foxsearchlight im looking forward to is postgrad. hehe
