Love has no bounds

"Go ahead and roll your eyes, but know this: [SPOILER] They don't end up together. In fact, Tom (Joseph Gordon-Levitt) spends a good chunk of (500) Days of Summer being slowly destroyed by Summer (Zooey Deschanel). It's the least-romantic romantic comedy of the summer, and it works precisely because it refutes everything romantic movies stand for".
Source: www.esquire.comTom: What happens when you fall in love?
Summer: You believe in that?
Tom: It's love, it's not Santa Claus.

-I always liked you.
- You did?
- But then I thought: "You don't flirt with your doctoral adviser's daughter."
- Especially when your adviser's crazy?
- Especially then.
-How embarrassing is it if I say last night was wonderful?
-It's only embarrassing if I don't agree.
("Proof", 2005).

"We have this idea of what love is, and everyone says, "Love has no bounds." And we all subscribe to that idea. And you can read it in cards, you know, like, it's become such a cliché that we don't really believe that, because when it comes really down to "love has no bounds", we don't buy it. We all stay within a form, I'm speaking for myself. I stay within a form of, like, is that OK to do or is that OK to do?" -Jake Gyllenhaal.

"Transformers beauty Megan Fox is attracted to women as well as men - but would never consider dating another bisexual female because she wouldn't want a male's "dirty" leftovers.She tells Esquire magazine, "I have no question in my mind about being bisexual. But I'm also a hypocrite: I would never date a girl who was bisexual, because that means they also sleep with men, and men are so dirty that I'd never want to sleep with a girl who had slept with a man."

Legendary film critic Roger Ebert is joined by friend and director Martin Scorsese in a dedication ceremony to rename the American Pavilion's press room in Cannes The Roger Ebert Conference Center.

"On whether the film industry is at a crisis point:
I'm always a little more on the negative side of things, but there has been a crisis for many years now. And whatever we get to do, with your help, and the help of the people who own the rights to these films, is just maybe scratching the surface, ultimately. A lot will be lost. One has to think of history in the past 3,000 years, how much literature was lost. So whatever we can do now, we're going to save something". -Martin Scorsese Press Conference.

Earlier last year, Barrymore snagged Juno's Ellen Page to co-star along with Juliette Lewis, Jimmy Fallon, and Eve. The film is based on the book Derby Girl by Shauna Cross, where the blue-haired protagonist Bliss, played by Page, finds a way to deal with her frustrations after she joins a roller derby team in a nearby city". Source: www.pastemagazine.com

Rian Johnson Interview

"I spoke to Johnson recently and he said the inspiration for BLOOM came not from one or two specific conmen films. "It's not inspired by any one film in the genre though I'm obviously a huge fan of films like THE STING," the Robert Redford/Paul Newman classic. While BLOOM is really nothing like THE STING, or really any other con film before it, it does share a common trait: rather elaborate cons.
It took Johnson a few months to properly develop their characters and their schemes, a process he started while waiting for BRICK to be released.

The script was originally titled PENELOPE named after the character Rachel Weisz plays in the film, so as Johnson explains, "it was extremely important to find the perfect actress for that part." Weisz had just recently given birth to her first child (Henry with director Darren Aronofsky) and Johnson was nervous she wouldn't be ready to ready to jump back into acting. But after meeting with Weisz and discussing the script with her, he "knew she was the one" and lucky for him, she agreed.
While Weisz and Adrien Brody and their eventual romance is certainly the focus of the film, the performance of Mark Ruffalo and the character Bang-Bang (played by Rinko Kikuchi) really help move the film along (I likened their characters to Han Solo and Chewbacca). I enjoyed those two so much, I felt like I wanted to see a spinoff with just them. "They really could star in their own movie, couldn't they?," says Johnson admitting he had to find the right balance to where they wouldn't detract from the central love story.
