500 Days of Summer

500 Days of Summer

First off, I wanna make it clear that this is not a review. This is a story about a review. Spherx stood outside the theatre paying for his ticket when suddenly, Cora showed up.

Well, looks like I’m alone for this review. No one else at the domain would go with me. It’s probably for the best since a group of dudes coming to this movie would be worse.
Hey Spherx!
Cora? Fancy seeing you here.
Fancy seeing you here? Who greets anyone like that anymore?
Um, uh…
So what movie are you here to see?
500 Days of Summer. You know how much I like indie flicks!
Actually I didn’t. But that’s cool. Me too. You here by yourself?
Um… uh.. no, Patches is supposed to show up. (feigns cell phone ring) Hello? Oh Patches! What? You can’t make it? That sucks. Well next time then.
Sounds like you’re on your own.
Seems so… (awkward silence)
So, do you wanna sit together? Like as friends. Don’t be reading into anything.
No! No of course not. Wouldn’t dream of it.
Ouch. Oh really? You wouldn’t?
Uh, well that’s not to say you’re not… uh… any guy would want… um… hey, I was gonna get some popcorn. Do you want any?
Sure! Thank you. And some candy too…. AND a large soda. Oh sorry, a pretzel too!
Wow… okay. Meet you inside then?
Yep!

5 minutes later… Spherx tip-toes through the dark theatre looking for Cora, balancing a mountain of snacks in his arms.

 

Psst! Cora? Where are you?
Over here! Hurry, you already missed the first 5 minutes! You’re supposed to know this is not a love story. It’s a story about love. Oh, and I seem to have misplaced my cash. Can I pay you back later?
Okay… yeah sure. Man, that Zooey Deschanel is so beautiful. I can’t blame Tom for falling for her.
Really? You think she’s pretty?
Oh yeah, devastatingly.
Uh huh. Well she way out of Tom’s league. This won’t end well. That’s what they said in the beginning too, she dumped him and now he’s trying to figure out where he went wrong.
Yeah, thanks, I got that from the trailer. I don’t get it though, he’s such a nice guy. What’s her problem?
You couldn’t understand. He’s too nice.
What’s wrong with being nice? That’s messed up that that’s an issue. Being nice.
She’s got a rebel heart. She wants adventure while she’s still young.
I guess I can see that. But if she just encouraged him to be more adventurous instead of holding it against him…
Nah, girls don’t wanna have to teach the guy what to do. They want a guy who’s confident, who knows what he wants and how to get it.
Zeesh! So what’s all this business about “training your man”?
Oh, that just means we want to surpress a few of those bad habits daring men pick up.
Unbelievable! She got rid of him because he loves her too much and doesn’t want a committed relationship and now she’s engaged to another guy after a few months apart!?!?
What’s with you? It didn’t work out and she found someone else that fits her better.
And now she invited him to her engagement party without telling him it’s her engagement party. That’s cold. Can’t she grasp how devasted he is?
He really should have gotten over it by now. There’s no reason he can’t suck it up and be friends with her, after all they had such a nice relationship before-
Are you serious? If they had such a nice relationship then why- no nevermind. I can’t possibly understand.
His sister is pretty cute. How adorable is it that she’s so young but is full of mature wisdom.
Well, at least the story ends with some hope. And that Han Solo part was pretty funny. As frustrating as it was to watch Tom suffer like that, I still enjoyed it immensely.
It was sweet. Cute and romantic. And the music was amazing! I gotta get the soundtrack.
So what are you up to now? Wanna go get some dinner or something?
Oh, sorry. No, I can’t. I’ve got a ton of things to do so I gotta get home right away-
Why didn’t you just do those things instead of going out to a mov-
Bye! Have a good night!
(sigh) Night!
