“Everyone gets fucked with in high school. I was fucked with because I was on TV. And I think when you’re not used to that, the world can be pretty harsh… I was probably a bit of a dick [back then]. I mean, not a dick but I had very simplistic and strong feelings about things, and right and wrong.”

August 5th, 2009Must Watch: 500 Days of Summer “Bank Heist” Music Video
Quite honestly the best video ever– the best, best, best, best, BEST. What a team. Hard to describe Zooey Deschanel as anything but incredible but to choose between her and Joe Gordon-Levitt? Impossible. Marc Webb makes me want to direct and a very catchy tune by She & Him. Makes me a very happy guy.
You must watch this video: after the jump.

NYTimes: Anatomy of a Scene for 500 Days of Summer
Marc Webb, the director of “(500) Days of Summer,” discusses a dance sequence from the film.
This is an extremely cool feature that allows you to watch the full scene with or without commentary from Marc Webb. I strongly discourage you from watching this until after you’ve seen the film, (which comes out now in less than 500 Minutes on the East coast!)
