Colour my life with the chaos of trouble.
So tonight I went to an advance screening of the movie (500) Days of Summer starring Joseph Gordon-Levitt (of Brick, 10 Things I Hate About You, and a bunch of other stuff) and Zooey Deschanel (Emily's sister, of Almost Famous and part of season 2 Weeds among other things). First heard of the film thanks to vintagejoy, so thanks for the heads up about this movie, Zoë!
The movie... is wonderful. Minor spoilers: The narrator tells you very early on that it's not a love story, but instead a story about love. Good, bad, you see it all. And the soundtrack is fab. The high school yearbook quote of Zooey's character (the titular Summer) is the title of this entry, it's from Belle and Sebastian's "The Boy With The Arab Strap." Also, genevieve, you were right, that song and dance number was pretty amazing. Biggish spoiler: thought the Minka Kelly cameo at the end was cute and haha to her character being named Autumn
So go see it! It officially comes out in the States on Friday, I believe. At the screening (which, btw, I got a pass for because I signed up in the lobby of the Palladium.. they had 5 passes which admit 2 so 10 spots, but getting a pass doesn't guarantee you get in because they overbook to insure a full house so you need to get there early), I got a pass for Adam, which sounds like another quirky love story from the promo they had before (500) Days of Summer. This is on Wednesday and the movie starts at 7. May or may not go, we'll see. I'd probably have to get dinner out if I went and go straight from work. I got to the (500) Days of Summer screening like 90 minutes before the movie started and I was on the second side of the block from where the line started.
Oh and I did 12 of 12 yesterday. Pics up before my birthday is the goal.
