Read Director Marc Webb's First (Of Many) Blog Posts On Firstshowing.net
Plus we'll soon be posting pics from last night's (500) DAYS OF SUMMER premiere in LA!
Every few days up until the release of the film on July 17th – I'll try to write a new post. If you guys have any questions or ideas for subjects please email Alex and I'll see if I can cover it. Anyway, here's the first installment:
DUDES IN LOVE (but not, like, with each other)
It's a funny thing when a bunch of guys make a movie about love. I think Joseph Gordon-Levitt, the writers (Scott Neustadter & Michael H. Weber) and I wince a little when people refer to 500 Days of Summer as a Romantic Comedy. Especially when that's not exactly the most prestigious genre (especially for a group of young male filmmakers). But marketers, bloggers and even filmmakers need a short hand to describe their movies. So, hopefully, 500 is funny. And, hopefully, it's romantic. So there you go – 'Romantic Comedy' may actually be the best genre to shove us into.
But I can't stand romantic comedies...

This may be a "romantic comedy" and my boyfriend joked that it was a "chick flick" but somehow that didn't stop him from laughing his a@@ off throughout the film, so much that he could barely sit still. If guys can get past the label they will have a fabulous time. Good job.
