Cinema Drafthouse: Movie & Beer “500 Days of Summer” | The Independent

Submitted by the Event Organizer

Normally a concert venue, The Independent hosts movie nights on Monday nights with a screening of the quirky comedy love story “500 Days of Summer” starring Zooey Deschanel

There’s a two-drink minimum on movie nights, but we’ve never seen it strictly enforced.

500 Days of Summer (2009): Meet Tom (Joseph Gordon-Levitt, letting his charm flag fly), a would-be architect idling in L.A. as a writer of greeting cards. In strolls his boss’s new assistant, Summer (the glorious Zooey Deschanel), and Tom’s a goner. For her, prizing independence, their affair is a lark. For him, raised on sappy Brit pop and a total misreading of The Graduate (he thinks the ending is happy), it’s love. So when she walks away, firmly but with kindness, you feel the pain, the kind that evaporates quickly only on sitcoms.
