What an odd movie. It all needs a moment to settle. But I can't help but feel a bit of hopelessness from watching this. Zooey Deschanel's character symbolizes my disdain for women at this point in my life. Beautiful, yet manipulative. A care-free spirit, but ultimately a hypocrite who has her own beliefs proved wrong.
And the protagonist realizes how stupid his idealistic attitude is is. And his realization is aptly attributed: blaming movies, greeting cards, and pop songs for making him a hopeless romantic; ultimately he feels lied to. Parts of the movie seem so analogous to life, although I won't go in to much detail.
"I'm just tired" is the excuse she utters before she's about to break up with him. It's like the saying is two-fold. Not only because she probably uses that as an excuse (which I can relate to), but also because she was tired. Tired of suffering through their relationship.
"You can't ascribe cosmic significance to a simple earthly event. Coincidence. That's all anything ever is. Nothing more than coincidence." The counter-point to those who believe in fate. At least with the little things.
By the way, the soundtrack was pretty awesome.
Two fried chicken fillets. Bacon. Two types of cheese. Amazing...ly unhealthy. 540 Calories. 32 grams of fat. 1380 mg of sodium. I'm not much of a label reader, but come on KFC. What gives? Oh, wait, have no fear. They've got the grilled version. Only 460 calories, 23 grams of fat and somehow it has 1430 mg of sodium.

Yes, the award for "Animal Magnetism." I don't even know what that means, but I sure am proud. And the Panda looks pretty cool!
