(500) Days of Summer

[Viq]

I went to see this last night, and was less than impressed. Poor pacing, gimmicky film school senior project-esque sequences, and a horribly unbelievable conclusion add up to a veritable piece of shit. It had some good moments, but as a whole this movie was not worth seeing.

indie movies arent for everybody.

I haven't seen it, but I haven't heard good things from people who have.

I swear, this movie makes me want to play in an Ikea.

This movie is about me and my ex-girlfriend, true story.

[Davricle]

No, it's about my ex-fiance and me. To the letter.

[Davricle]

Hadn't seen that before, that was great

That video was pretty awesome! I'm pretty sure everyone by their mid 20's has to know this story in its most shorthand form and probably has personally experienced it. As recent posts have said though, definitely will be a hit-or-miss, if you can't enjoy indie films, you won't enjoy this. "Sundance Film Festival" should've redflagged this for the indie-haters, as Transformers/GI Joe/Hollywood explosion bullshit, this is not. Movie was probably made with 5 million dollars, or some other ridiculously low amount.

i saw it alone too

There were LOTS of good lookin girls when I went. Unfortunately I had asked a girl to go with me so I couldn't take advantage of surplus.

[Qalbert]

I was literally alone. Only person in the theater, lol.

I see most of the indie movies that get to New Haven by myself, none of my friends male or female enjoy really artsie movies, usually if I dont want to go by myself I'll take my mom since she does like indies.

[Davricle]

I took a girl.

Spoiler: show

Apparently watching a guy get utterly destroyed turned her on. /wink

there was one old man in to top left corner of the theater. Jesus this movie was good, but definitely plays in to old relationships i had made it all the better and more depressing (FUCK YOU HEIDI)

[Davricle]

I'm glad you enjoyed it!
