Excerpt From (500) Days Of Summer.

Excerpt from (500) Days of Summer.

The anti-romantic angle throughout the plot gives it that ironic edge... but this scene has such a sweet tone. I know the inertia of its irony comes from denying that you believe in love. Only a “hopeless romantic” could write this, and that’s what makes the movie so super endearing.

Screenplays I’ve read:

Eternal Sunshine of a Spotless Mind — I will read this again and again, I get lost in the characters minds in a way that makes me feel like I’m telling the story myself. One of my fave movies ever.

Lost in Translation — basic, I’ve never seen the movie but I can tell why it was appealing for the era it was released… the script would make me wanna see what Japanese oddities were being described, otherwise it’s very unimaginative.

I need to read:

(500) Days of Summer — Zombieland — The Babadook — Jennifer’s Body

I finished:

(500) Days of Summer — which I’ve never seen, but I’m really crazy about this writer’s voice… I’d want a movie about me to be this goofy and warm. It makes me want to write Dramas.

Zombieland — Reading this through, I can really tell how much fun they had writing it. The characters are so conscious but cartoonish at the same time.

Muses of continuity: Capricorn — Cancer

Muses of contribution

Muses of condition

Muses of contact

The tone of the movie felt a bit lost on me, so I didn’t really connect with the characters in a strong way. Still I believed in the stakes at hand and wanted to see how it would all come back around.

Muses of carnage: Scorpio — Taurus

It’s very slow moving, which draws a lot of gravity out of such a simple plot.
