Daily Diversion: Zooey Deschanel, Formerly ‘Anal Girl’

500days-1

A few days ago my good friend Erik Davis posted this over at Cinematical — and all at once I was hit with nostalgia. Just a week ago (or so) I was sitting at the Eccles Theater in Park City, Utah enjoying a little bit of time with the undeniably charming film 500 Days of Summer. It stars Joseph Gordon-Levitt and the ever-beautiful Zooey Daschanel as a young couple just trying to figure out that little thing called love. And as I wrote in my review, 500 Days could very well be one of the breakout comedies of 2009 — sweet and funny, filled to the brim with charm and creativity. That, and it stars Zooey Deschanel, who can do no wrong in my book. That said, have a look at the clip below, in which Zooey’s character talks about one of her more, er, risque college nicknames.

500 Days of Summer will be released into theaters by Fox Searchlight on July 24, 2009. See the video below, courtesy of Collider.

    she is amazing on Weeds. So sad that she is no longer on the show.
  • Two hot young stars with actually talent - I've been keeping my eye on this puppy since I first heard of it. I can definitely see this being a huge breakout, I agree. And this scene is one of the many reasons why.

    But I have a mancrush on Joseph Gordon-Levitt, so I'll worship anything with him in it, admittedly.

    Zooey has long been a favorite of mine...and yes...I know she isn't of the same caliber as Cate Blanchett or Kate Winslet...and her characters are *mostly* all the same...nonetheless...I don't care. Depending on which computer I log into at work, there is a different photo of her as my desktop. As for seeing interviews with her...it is true she is a bit silly...but she seems like a lot of fun to be around. I would have a cup of coffee with her in a second. I also enjoy her voice. She has a husky quality that lends well to the jazz standards she likes to sing.
