Yall. I really want 2 fall in love. Looking for an authentic interpretation of ‘love.’ Feel like most movies about relationships are ‘just bull shit romanticized crap’ but not this 1. I am pretty sure I identify with it.
Do yall think it looks good? The intro scene where he is all like ‘damn. she likes the Smith’s. Think I’m in <3 with her' is kind what made me know I was gonna like this movie. Need more movies with scenes where some1 is listening 2 headphones, kinda like that movie Garden State where NatPortty tells ZachBraffbro about the buzzband THE SHINS.
I'm just a bro who wants to be in love, living in a world full of 'crazy cunts' and 'krazie slutz' who 'don't know what they want' and 'don't realize that they have a good bf.' Wonder if Summer dies at day 500. Wonder if there is some 'realistic ending' that I am supposed to respect since it's 'not just a happy ending.' Probably gonna have a 'bad ass soundtrack.' Is there any way I can invest in this film on the Alternative Stock Market?
"I believe in a thing called <3." -The Darknesses
Jealous that Ben Gibbard married Zooey Deschanel. Want to marry some1 who plays a character in an alternative movie and then pretend that I am married to a character from a movie. Thinking about marrying Bill Murray and pretending he is Steve Zissou/a Ghostbuster/CaddyshackBro.
I think I like the REMIX of this trailer that is meant to just make the movie seem ‘meaningful’ by not saying much/but just having a meaningful background song, deep voice-over bro, and demonstrating the ‘lovely cinematography’ in the movie.
Just want 2 find meaningful love in a city. Want a girl who is alternative, but also ’seems like a slut who is down 2 fuck.’ Want life to seem like an indie movie that is a mix of realism, quirky convo, and surreal events like ‘dance sequences’ and ‘moments that seem larger than life.’
Never knew the 3rd Rock from the Sun bro would grow up 2 be a leading man in an alternative love story.
Not sure what movie I want 2 see. Kinda pumped about Gigantic / Where the Wild Things Are / JUNO.
Might buy candy and popcorn at the movies. Then will ‘complain about how much it costs.’
sad that tweens can’t go to the movies any more and fngrbang eachother without ‘a lil bit of popcorn butter on their fingers.’ just s00 expensive.

@Chipdip, No it’s like a “free spirited” young female who listens to really bad music, wears really ugly clothes and lets you tug off on her boobs. We’re usually good writers and very creative. Eventually I will be a free spirited mom who uses a bohemian baby sling and walks down the street with my free spirited, music critic glasses wearing, asshole of a boyfriend who has become a “cool” dad. But until then I just want to know what movie everyone is talking about jackass.

Important points being missed all around.
2nd trailer implies zooey showing us her ( . )( . ) ’s.
Will we get to “see” her tits or is this just one of those “jk not rly, just some sideboob” kind deals?
Could this be the end of the search for the perfect alt tit?
Scared, carles. Direct me.

it’s all lies my friend, lies. don’t fall for this marketing trap. the amount of ‘indie culture’ that is referenced in this trailer reeks of marketing scams. just because ‘todd’ from ‘marketing’ knows about some bands you may like doesn’t make this film authentic. the divorce rate is pushing 60%. love isn’t real, please understand this simple psychological fact. also, <3

This has the potential to be the greatest movie of all time. The Smiths’ “There Is A Light That Never Goes Out” AND Joy Division’s Unknown Pleasures? I believe in a thing called Zooey’s love.

Reply
all irony aside, you have been on fire lately Carles – between this and the dj knob twisting post. this movie is the equivalent of Ben Gibbard’s inadequate voice: half an octave of schmaltz that passes for “underground” among douchebags and 31-year-old gross stay at home moms. i don’t care if the entire sundance film festival had a collective 2 hour jizz while watching this movie – I will never see it. I would, however, like to watch videotape of the the meeting where some chubby-fingered movie executive and his talentless, ironically-mustached 20-something assistant brainstormed about which band would seem “alternative” and “authentic” to listen to on headphones in an elevator, while still appealing to the tens of millions of people who bought their records. Obviously, they settled on The Smiths.

In all serious, non-ironic honesty. Movies are only good now if they make all your relationships feel like shit and have a really awesomely indie soundtrack.
Nick and Norah’s infinite playlist = fail
Juno = huge success
Garden State = ruined movies
500 days of summer sounds like a REALLY LONG MOVIE. I can’t even watch an episode of 24 and thats like oNE day.

and a bunch of Altbags will be talking about The Smiths the whole time and how it’s so ‘deep’ and ‘artsy/conceptual’
s000 lame.
