Exclusive Clip: Zooey Deschanel Not Interested in Being Your Girlfriend, in "500 Days of Summer"

I've mentioned 500 Days of Summer on more than 1 occassion in the past and am about to again, now that there's an exclusive clip from the movie available at New York Magazine online.



"In theaters July 17 is 500 Days of Summer, a love story (sort of) starring
Joseph Gordon-Levitt as a greeting-card copywriter retracing the steps of his
failed relationship with Summer, played by Zooey Deschanel. Fox Searchlight has
given us this exclusive clip, in which Deschanel explains that she's not
interested in having a boyfriend, to the disappointment of Gordon-Levitt and the
befuddlement of Geoffrey Arend (real-life fiancé of Mad Men's Christina
Hendricks). "[Exclusive Clip: Zooey Deschanel Not Interested in Being Your Girlfriend, in 500 Days of Summer -- Vulture -- Entertainment & Culture Blog -- New York Magazine]

trailer trash - 500 Days of Summer

I gave this film a mention back in April because of my appreciation of for Joseph Gordon-Levitt, but thought it deserved the proper trailer trash presentation and it gives me an excuse for me to give him props for being brilliantly brooding on the cover and inside of V-MAN Magazine.

trailer trash - Breaking Upwards

I just heard about Breaking Upwards from a co-worker who caught it at SXSW this year. This charming and heart wrenchcing independent film that "follows a young New York couple who, after four years together, have grown stifled. Desperate to escape their ennui, but fearful of life apart, they decide to intricately strategize their own break up. "
Though the film hasn't found major distribution yet, it's playing at Film Festivals around the country and I can't wait to catch it at one of them, or whenever it finally makes it to theaters or DVD. In the meantime, I guess I'll just have to watch THE greatest rom-com of all time.

please take a moment to chillt he F out to - Corinne Bailey Rae

I had this CD once but lost it to an ex and gained his Raconteurs album in return. Coincidentally Ms. Bailey Rae covered Mr.White and Co.'s rockin jam "Steady As She Goes" so I guess that's the happy medium of that exchange.

I'm waiting for a gentleman to dedicate this song to me....

While I've been in love with Mos Def since I scuffed one of his kicks outside The White Stripes show at the Hammerstein Ballroom back in 2003, his album "The New Danger" is one of my favorites. And surprising been pretty integral in a number of my relationships over the years. I actually flew up to Baltimore to see Mos in concert for a first date, & I somehow managed to end up with a brand new copy from a different ex well after that relationship was over. While those relationships soured, my musical/artistic respect for Mos certainly has not and I still think "The Beggar" is quite possibly one of his best love songs & I'll admit I'm still waiting for him someone to dedicate it to me. Til then I'll just keep dating Jon Hamm.

people that steal from john mayer and pass it off as their own are lame

so i never got around to posting that maroon 5 video but i eventually will seeing as that they are about to go on tour with the counting crows (yeah they're still around) i'll have plenty of time to get to them later.

while at Langerado (there are a few pics posted on my Facebook account) i was enjoying the awesomeness of the music, the hippies, but more importantly the benevento-russo duo when i felt compelled to contact an ex -not the one you're thinking of and who shall just be referred to as "He who shall not be named" or "Voldemort" (based on our past experience, the fact that he's not worth talking about my name bc he'll only get off on it & the fact they bare an eery resemblance to each other in certain aspects) until JK Rowling asks me not to.
So i sent voldemort a text on saturday evening that read: "hope you're doing well just wanted to say hello...hello." Considering he had called me thursday evening before i went to the festival, to talk about god knows what, because i was distracted with packing and was barely paying attention, but still responding and being cordial, i thought my attempt at communication was kind, thoughtful and obviously well intentioned. Though my text was promptly replied to with: "Please stop contacting me."
The remainder of the text-ersation need not be shared since it basically involved me informing voldemort he was more full of shit than i remember & that once he came to his senses he'd realize i was a fantastic friend to have, which was truly his loss.
What bothers me the most is not his hypocrisy, he's obviously a waste of space & clearly not right in the head, but what irked me is that i'm about 99.999999999% sure he was compelled to be so rude by basically stealing directly from John Mayer...Yes John Mayer. I know this may seem like I'm the crazy one, but voldemort is a HUGE fan of John Mayer to the point where he reads his blog and listens to his music religiously and if he had the opportunity to make out with him he would. This may just be coincidence but the day between voldemort called me and I sent him that text Mr. Mayer posted this. The post no longer exists on JM's blog but I had to share my findings with the world, vent and just say: how fucking lame. Granted I could be wrong and I'm the lame one for coming to this conclusion, but repeatedly calling & contacting someone, then telling them to stop contacting you in almost the same breath, is just callow, but we already knew that's exactly who voldemort is.

DISCLAIMER: I heart John Mayer and respect him as an artist not for whoever he decides to put his dick in.
