How did I not know about this before?

I just saw a brief, tantalizing preview of this film after the Oscars.  Two of my favorite actors in the world, Zooey Deschanel and Joseph Gordon-Levitt, team up for a romance called 500 Days of Summer. And none too soon - I've been craving a smart, well-made romance for what feels like years.

I could come just looking at them together (figuratively).  I've loved Zooey since her breakthrough role in Almost Famous, and I've tracked Joseph's every movement from, I kid you not, Angels in the Outfield, to the eccentric 3rd Rock From the Sun, to the adorable 10 Things I Hate About You, to his horrendously sexy move to darker stuff in Mysterious Skin and Brick.  Oh yeah, and years ago, he brushed within inches of me at my most favoritest bar in Los Angeles, the historic Cat & Fiddle on the east side of Sunset.  I felt a bit like that girl in The Lookout writing, "I made out with Chris Pratt!"  So we chose the same hangouts -- shows the guy's got good taste!

The only question is, how will I wait until July 24?

That looks really promising. I will be keeping an eye out for sure!
Looks really good. I kinda thought the VO was a little distracting, no?
I was too engrossed in watching JGL that I barely noticed the VO =D
VO = Voiceover. HAHA I had to look that up.
hahaha.  oh, gawwy.
