Expectations vs. Reality

Happy day after Valentine's Day, when the desperate one-night-stands have all but expired and the drunken hangovers ensue. My apologies for not having anything to say yesterday, but there quite honestly wasn't much to say. Life, in general, isn't spent in happiness. Probably the best film to illustrate that was (500) Days of Summer, a film that some say is overrated, but I find touching to the soul. I'm so glad that director Marc Webb is taking on the Spiderman reboot, now officially entitled The Amazing Spiderman. Hopefully he adds as much emotion and realistic style as he brought to his debut feature. An interesting fan video did a mashup of The Social Network and the wonderful "Expectations vs. Reality" scene in (500) Days of Summer. It's an inspired idea, but extremely underdeveloped, so if somebody savvy with editing software thinks they can make a better version, consider this a challenge. I've got the mashup embedded below, and a bit of the clip from the original film below that. At the very least, enjoy!
