Erg.

Today's Animus is. Nothing. Because I am tired, and because I have to write a paper (even if it will be bs), and I have to write a grant and I have to put together a portfolio and I just DON'T WANT TO!

Really.

I'm not feeling it.

Which may once again be why I'm doing this instead...so maybe I should post some sort of something.

Okay well...

I recently re-watched (for the thousandth time) 500 Days of Summer with Liv because she'd never seen it. I love this movie. I love the way it expresses how people are idealized and put on a pedistal and how much it can hurt when the illusion is gone. Its also filmed in a unique way, if not entirely realistic, but definally grabs emotions everyone can relate to. Plus there is some great shots and beautiful use of color. I'm a bit of a dork and watched the commentary and the director was talking about how Summer (the romantic interest) is associated with light blue and for the most part is dressed in the color, her apartment is that color etc. Also the only time a bright red is show is when Tom (the lead) is with her. My favorite example of this is a close up of a little red paper crane shown in focus then blurred as they walk into her apartment.

Plus Joseph Gordon Levitt = teh sex

He's so pretty. Definably one of my top choices (if not the choice) of imaginary hollywood boyfriends. Because you know... that's completely normal and everything...

Zooey is pretty awesome too, but she looks like my sister and it makes me jealous.

But her band, She and Him, is sweet the Him being M. Ward. Kind of reminds me of old 60's pop music. And to make it better they had a tie in to 500 Days of Summer with an adorable music video which may mostly be adorable because JGL is in it. Enjoy!



Oh yeah and if you want to see the original music video thats pretty good too.
