Deschanel and Gordon-Levitt Part of 500

It'll probably be nominated at the Globes for something.
 
it deserves to win something :) one of my favourite films of 2009
 
I saw this movie last night and I loved it. The dance sequence with Hall and Oats music in the background and the ending were my favorite scenes. JGL is a great actor and I hope he becomes more popular. I remember him from 3rd Rock from the Sun days...
 
I watched it last night as well. Excellent movie. I love it when movies get the mix of comedy and drama just right, and this certainly did that. The dance sequence and the expectations/reality scenes were very well done.
 
Man, Summer's kind of a btch huh? I mean, if she wasn't into Tom, that's one thing, but then to not even tell him at that wedding she was dating someone but instead lead him on? And it was serious enough that she was engaged the next time he saw her a few weeks later?
 
In the teaser there is a scene when Tom see 100 Summer's on a bus, I wonder where that would have fit into the movie... I've yet to check out the specials on my blu-ray...
 
that scene in the script.

BTW if your a big fan of the film you should see the script 2 of my favorite scenes from the film are missing but there are alot of good extra scenes in there
 
I've dated a girl just like that. Where it seems like I would put down so much effort into the relationship but as she drifts away, she becomes indifferent, even after the break-up. No tears from her! oy to the vey
 
nah. I didn't cry but I felt his pain. It's just the minor struggles of being the hopeless romantic type.
 
The last time I cried at teh theater was at the end of Terminator 2. When Arnold gave the thumbs up to Edward Furlong, I burst into tears, for the T-800 was..human..after all!!!!
 
I just mentioned this in the Avatar thread...

I had a pretty similar situation to this movie. I met her through work, and she immediately took over my thoughts. We liked the same stuff, but she was a tad quirkier in her interests (she was actually a fan of The Smiths). We started dating (she did say she didnt want anything serious), spent all of our time together, we grew ridiculously close...like...stupid close. We shared everything and spent every moment together and things got a lot deeper than either of us thought they would. And then one day she basically said "I'm done with you...hey...I always said I didn't want to be serious" and for no reason she stopped speaking to me. She met another guy not long after and they got married after a very brief dating period. It was weird, and I don't think I'll ever get closure to that.

So, this movie destroyed my emotional state. It was an absolutely amazing film though...loved it!

I didn't cry because I was surrounded by people...one of which being my current girlfriend. I can't imagine explaining that to her!!!

But truth be told it really did bring up a lot of those old emotions...that desperation of wanting some closure...like an end victory...but I lost, clearly and completely...and that's how that chapter of my life ended. It sucks. It will always suck.

What the hell? You just described the exact plot to this movie. Similar situation my ass.
 
My situation was different in one key aspect. While Summer never gave any reason to believe that there was more to the relationship, the girl I was seeing very much did. That's a important difference. Like i said though..it was similar that it made me really sad and all during the film watching my life happen again lol.

hhaha, Classic scene :up:
 
Eh, I was 'friends" with a girl in College like this. Fortunately, I got fed up being the sex-less door mat and moved on after the "I just want to be friends speech". Well, and after she bedded my best friend who was "like a brother to her" as well. Apparently, he made incest sexy enough for her to cross a line she said she would never cross with me. Regardless, a few months later I hooked up with my future wife, and she went on to destroy my former friend's emotional stability and self-respect before moving on to destroying more men in greater Pittsburgh. In retrospect, I was grazed a bullet. Especially after some doofus roofer tried jumping off the 6th street bridge screaming her name.
