(500) Days of Summer

IT IS AN HONOUR TO BE JOINED BY OUR GOOD FRIEND KRISTA, FOR THE REVIEW OF 500 DAYS OF SUMMER!


tony says:
ok let me start this by taking a quote from the brilliant movie Rounders: In the poker game of life, women are the rake.
Krista says:
And men are the hoe.
Ivan says:
the rake!
Krista says:
Is that how it goes?
tony says:
present company excluded
tony says:
but no there was no hoe part
Krista says:
I must have just added that part then.
Ivan says:
indeed
tony says:
the film itself shows this to a tee
Krista says:
No, I disagree. What it actually shows to a tee is that boys are dumb.
tony says:
hold that thought krista
Krista says:
Okay
tony says:
let me just get the review of the movie outta the way... this was an AWESOME film.. probably the best film i seen this year...
tony says:
i have no negative thing to say about the film
tony says:
anyone who's seen this will know of all the cool things about it so i won't get into that.. this was personal to me
Ivan says:
The film was great. I was pleasantly surprised and the kid from Third Rock has grown into a man (minus the neanderthalic haircut)
Krista says:
Definitely a hair improvement from the 3rd Rock days though.
Krista says:
Patrick says to write that he liked the movie too.
tony says:
i dont like your views on the film
tony says:
krista
Ivan says:
Whoa, review of the movie over?
Krista says:
Well, we have something in common then, 'cause I don't like your views on the film.
Krista says:
Tony.
Ivan says:
Ouch!
tony says:
i told you.. this one is personal... and i need to convince krista that zooey was a cold hearted harpy
Krista says:
Actually, it's not so much that I don't like them as that I think they're wrong.
tony says:
i can admit that the guy was kinda a douche sometimes.. u cant admit that she was the anti-christ? i dont get it
Krista says:
I don't think you'll convince me.
Ivan says:
Zooey played the part of the heartbreaker perfectly. And yes, JGL was a freaking moron in the film, nobody will say otherwise.
Krista says:
She was just living her life. She never asked him to get involved in it.
tony says:
SHE DID
tony says:
when she kissed him
tony says:
done
Ivan says:
Not only did she not ask him to get involved, she hijacked him and took him on the ride of his life
Ivan says:
Harpy!
Krista says:
And she was really up front about it from the start that she didn't want anything serious / a boyfriend.
tony says:
thats fine. then dont turn things serious.
tony says:
which she did
Krista says:
No, HE did.
tony says:
what?!
tony says:
did we watch the same film?
Krista says:
He was the one asking her to give him something she wasn't able to give him.
Krista says:
Their first real talk (when the buddy was drunk), she told him she didn't believe in love. He should have put it to rest right there and walked away.
Ivan says:
Let's check the list:
- Kiss him in the copy room? Check
- Go shopping at IKEA? Check
- Rent dirty movies? Check
Ivan says:
WINNAR!
tony says:
ok um lets see... initiate first kiss.. check... initiate first sexual encounter... check... initiate first rental of porn.. check... initiate false invites to parties and what not.. check... lead guy on for 400 + days.. check..
Ivan says:
hhaha awesome!!!
tony says:
great minds think alike
Krista says:
If those 3 things mean you need to marry someone, then a lot of people are in big trouble!
tony says:
im saying she made it serious!
Krista says:
No she didn't.
Krista says:
Kissing someone doesn't mean it's serious to a lot of people. And to her, she was up front that it wasn't.
Ivan says:
You do not need any of those things to marry anyone. If anything, you avoid someone who does those things.
Ivan says:
She was more confusing that a 4 sided rubix cube
tony says:
krista.. if it wasnt for her.. he'd just be her friend.. SHE KISSED HIM... i have some friends.. i dont kiss ANY of them..
Ivan says:
The movie was also funny.
Krista says:
I think she was trying to see if there was anything there. She tried, her heart wasn't ever really in it. She was honest about that, but did try - I think for his sake because she could see he was so serious about it - but there wasn't.
Krista says:
Yes - it was definitely also funny.
tony says:
the bottom line is this: and i'm serious here... he loved her.. she knew it.. she chose not to really stop it.. why?.. 'cause she loves being loved...
Krista says:
And props for the 4 sided rubix cube reference Ivan.
Krista says:
NOPE
Krista says:
She did not. You're pretending she's Jillian from Bachelorette and she's VERY different from her.
tony says:
there is no reason for any of what she did.. but she loved being loved.. thats all..
Krista says:
No she didn't! She wasn't happy with the situation and tried to get out of it. She told him a number of times she didn't want anything and didn't love him. She even quit her job to be away from him, and eventually married someone else. How much more can you do to be clear? She can only do so much. Joseph G. Levitt's gotta take the hint eventually.
tony says:
gimme a break
Krista says:
You're making it like the boy had no choices. He had a million clues and chances to cut and run, but wouldn't.
Ivan says:
ok. 5 minutes pause.
Krista says:
Ha ha ha ha ha. Okay!
tony says:
it's just mixed messages..
tony says:
u know whats better than a hint? "it's over.. i dont love you.. "
Krista says:
She did like him. Just not the way he wanted her to.
tony says:
but she says "i dont love u.. but i want to string u along as far as i can"
Krista says:
He could have left at any time.
Ivan says:
He couldn't, though. He loved her.
Krista says:
She never lied to him.
Krista says:
she didn't love him, she told him that.
tony says:
i think we have to agree to disagree
Krista says:
He was hoping she'd change, but people don't change like that.
Krista says:
Ha ha ha ha h ah ah ah. Yeah - something tells me \
Ivan says:
He was in it for real. And she was a liar. She said she didn't believe in all sorts of things (love, boyfriends and blah blah blah). In less than 100 days she managed to change.
tony says:
i guess its ok to destroy someone if you're just selfishly trying to see if things will change for you
Ivan says:
Agreed Tony
Krista says:
Because she met the right person.
Ivan says:
We don't know that.
Ivan says:
I'm calling it a draw.
Krista says:
When you meet the right person, they can make you believe in that stuff.
Ivan says:
She's just a twisted person to begin with though.
Krista says:
That's what the movie was insinuating. She was genuinely happy.
Krista says:
Ha ha ha ha ah! She is a bit weird, yeah.
tony says:
she is awesome.. just mean... why wait 400 + days to tell someone they arnt right? because she loves the feeling of being loved.. until she can find the right one
tony says:
she was just using him
Krista says:
No, because she doesn't know that love does exist because she hasn't experienced it yet.
Ivan says:
Harpy.
tony says:
"we can still be best friends" F U
Ivan says:
I'm just glad JGL was able to recover and make things right for himself.
tony says:
it was always clear that he wanted to be more than friends.. she knew this.. any normal person would say "gee if he wants me to become more than a friend.. maybe i shouldnt kiss and and sleep with the guy"
tony says:
am i wrong?
Ivan says:
Nope.
Ivan says:
It was a painful story.
tony says:
it was heartbreaking.. i feel him man.. poor guy... at least in 3rd rock he was an alien
Krista says:
It was a learning experience for him and he'll be a better, wiser person for it now. He's back on his feet and will find someone who wants the same things from him as he wants from them.
Ivan says:
Yeah, aliens don't feel anything.
Krista says:
He'll realize that a real relationship goes both ways and will see that he was a dolt.
Ivan says:
And Zooey will become a fat, bitter, lonely... good movie.
Krista says:
Ha ha ha ha ha! No she won't.
tony says:
this is the most serious review we've ever done.. and you know what? i'm glad zooey was a harpy... it just makes me love sarah polley that much more
Krista says:
Yes - that's true!
Ivan says:
No changing of the guard!
Ivan says:
F CHANGE!
Krista says:
No changing of the guard!!
Krista says:
HA!
tony says:
ok 9.5/10 for me
Krista says:
How would you have felt if Polley was Zooey's character?
Krista says:
8/10 for me
tony says:
loved the film.. so painful tho
Ivan says:
9/10!
tony says:
if polley was zooey i woulda felt exactly like JGL did.. hurt but still in love.. u cant ever get rid of those feelings
Krista says:
I see.
Krista says:
