I went. I watched. I loved.
"(500) Days of Summer."
(aka "Amélie"* of the US)
Except "Amélie" is pure agony until the very end and then it's absolutely wonderful.
And "(500) Days of Summer" oscillates repeatedly between absolutely heartbreaking and absolutely perfect.
I think the reason why I loved it so much was because I am afraid I will become Summer.
But Summer ended up all right in the end.
And I will too.
P chem** finals and bad karma and all.
*Did anyone else think that part where Tom falls asleep in the theater and inserts himself into a movie just screams Amelie? Or the omniscient narrator who tells us all these random details at the very beginning? Or the cinematography? Or the part where Tom walks down the street, and it becomes an illustration?

seriously. 500 days of summer is like my favorite movie.
im happy you enjoyed it too!
good luck with the rest of your finals.
I adore this movie. A reviewer said that it's perfect whether you're falling in or falling out of love and I completely agree.
i want to see it so bad! i had alyssa's approval and now i have yours...two witnesses say i must go see it!
hmm...i'm feeling a movie night coming on. i might just go and see two in a row.
I love your new layout! :) Artsy pictures.
I think we're all either afraid of being Tom or Summer...but they both end up okay in the end.
I loved how original it was:). Glad we went on our little spontaneous trip to Movies 8.
Haven't seen the movie, but it definitely at the top of my list! She's my favorite actress ever! :) (And Emily Deschanel too, of course. ;) Haha.)
