I saw (500)Days of Summer last week and was thoroughly disappointed. I didn't think the two leads went well together. I love Joseph Gordon-Levitt in Mysterious Skin and Brick, and he didn't let me down. But that Zooey Deschanel was terribly tiresome. She just reminds me of Katy Perry too much. And her character was so annoying. The plot was weak as well. On reflection, I understood the significance. His experience with 'Summer' taught him a lot in ways. But ultimately, I thought it was overated and at parts predictable. One thing I got from it was a lesson in good music. There was lots of Regina Spektor splattered about, who I love anyway. But there were a few excerts of The Smiths, who I hadn't really paid attention to prior. I know they are old and Morrisey does all his solo stuff now, but I after wearing myself out the past week on spotify listening to their top 5 rated tracks, I think I can honestly say I am a (lacklustre) true fan!
Here is my favourite song, and probably a lot of peoples, so apologies for riding the band-wagon, There is a light that never goes out:
