And the story plays out in flashbacks to memories of the relationship. The main character, Tom, meets Summer after she becomes the new hire at his job, a paper greeting card company. They start seeing each other, but Summer says she doesn't believe in love and so it's casual even though Tom wants more than that. They end up arguing and breaking up and Summer quits her job at their company. The next time they see each other, Tom notices an engagement ring, which raises all the questions about why she wouldn't want to settle down with him, but felt true love with someone else. When Tom does meet someone new, he finds out her name is Autumn.The movie came out in 2009 and stars Joseph Gordon-Levitt as Tom and Zooey Deschanel as Summer. It was directed by Marc Webb from a screenplay written by Scott Neustadter and Michael H. Weber, and produced by Mark Waters. It's an indie movie that premiered at Sundance, and was picked up by Fox Searchlight Pictures. It's generally considered a sleeper hit, and brought in $60 million worldwide. It had had a $7.5 million budget.What B2B Companies Can Learn From 500 Days of Summer: The buying journey is often non-linear, so meet the customer where they are. Ian says, “People want that extremely organized fashion, and other people don't. You as the marketer need to plan those different pathways and journeys, and to be able to tell stories in the moments that matter.” It's like how in 500 Days of Summer, the story is told in flashbacks to Tom and Summer's relationship. In the beginning, the viewer needs to see the positive parts of their relationship to understand Tom's attachment to the relationship. And then as the story goes along, we see the disconnects and the miscommunications, the more negative parts of the relationship. That's how the viewer understands that Tom is falling out of love with Summer and healing from the breakup. So as the marketer, you need to highlight the moments that matter for your customers and meet them where they are in their buying journey.Present your products honestly and transparently. Over-hyping your products in marketing is misleading, and ultimately leads to disappointment where customers aren't likely to return. April ties this back to 500 Days of Summer when she says, “Tom idealized his relationship with Summer. We fall into that trap when we're over-hyping our products or solutions to potential clients, when honesty and transparency are crucial in building trust.” So though it's tempting to play up your products to get higher engagement and sales, don't do it. Present their real benefits and you'll earn audience trust. Incorporate real stories. 500 Days of Summer was inspired by a real relationship screenplay writer Scott Neustadter was in while studying in London. April says that “because it was a real story, it was relatable to me. We should be doing the same thing. We should be doing this with our clients, with our content. It adds a human touch. It resonates deeply, I think, when you can actually incorporate real stories behind it.” So add that human touch to your marketing by including real stories in it. It makes your content more relatable and more human.Quotes*”We should always focus on emotional connections and relatable storytelling, whether that's B2B content or B2C content. To make an emotional connection with your audience no matter who they are.” - April Weber*“500 Days of Summer made us laugh. It made us feel sad. And it definitely makes you reminisce about your own experience, which is a great way to have any kind of content. If you can get in all the emotions at once, that's awesome.” - April WeberTime Stamps[0:55] Meet April Weber, Integrated Marketing Manager at Infobip [1:40] Why are we talking about 500 Days of Summer?[4:13] What is April responsible for at Infobip? [5:14] What is 500 Days of Summer about? [10:32] Why is 500 Days of Summer remarkable?[12:28] What marketing lessons can we glean from 500 Days of Summer?[32:58] What's April's content strategy at Infobip? [38:44] How does April think about the ROI of content?LinksWatch 500 Days of SummerConnect with April on LinkedInLearn more about InfobipAbout Remarkable!Remarkable! is created by the team at Caspian Studios, the premier B2B Podcast-as-a-Service company.

We've had the pleasure of hanging with the man on a few sets, and sharing his love and passion for the cool practical effects that he creates. Vincent's not only a way cool, down-to-earth guy, but he also has been effectively keeping the beauty of real, actual creatures and effects in film, making new strides and creating never-before-seen visuals that just wouldn't look the same in CGI. We applaud him for that.You may recognize some of Guastini's effects in the View Askew flicks Vulgar, Dogma, and Jay & Silent Bob Strike Back. He also MIGHT be on board for "Red State" (lips tightened but fingers crossed) and even designed some test stuff for the Green Hornet flick that never was.

Chris & Kelsey went to a wedding this weekend, so they're in the mood... for wedding-themed horror! The Classic Film: Hatchet for the Honeymoon [Il rosso segno della follia] (1970) "A cleaver-wielding bridal designer murders various young brides-to-be in an attempt to unlock a repressed childhood trauma” (IMDb.com).

The Modern Film: Ready or Not (2019) "A bride's wedding night takes a sinister turn when her eccentric new in-laws force her to take part in a terrifying game” (IMDb.com). Ready or Not asks a lot of the viewer, but if you can put up with the silliness, there's a lot to love about it.

Chris & Kelsey can't tell if this episode is real or not. Does Special Guest Eileen even exist? The Classic Film: Perfect Blue (1997) "A retired pop singer turned actress[, Mima's] sense of reality is shaken when she is stalked by an obsessed fan and seemingly a ghost of her past” (IMDb.com). Prolific Japanese writer and artist Satoshi Kon got his directorial film debut with this adaptation of Yoshikazu Takeuchi's novel, Perfect Blue: Complete Metamorphosis. He never did anything quite like it again, and even though our next entry owes a lot to it, you'll probably never see anything quite like Perfect Blue anywhere else. The Modern Film: Black Swan (2010) "A committed dancer struggles to maintain her sanity after winning the lead role in a production of Tchaikovsky's 'Swan Lake'” (IMDb.com). Based on a pre-existing script about something else, featuring thematic similarities and homages to other movies, and focusing on an all-time classic ballet, Black Swan manages to be wholly unique and fascinating. Intriguingly, it's more fantastical than our animated entry. Audio Sources: "Black Swan" produced by Fox Searchlight Pictures, et al.

Welcome to Everything Trying to Kill You, the comedy podcast that talks about horror movies! For episode 20, join Maegan, Mary Kay, Mary as they discuss Darren Aronofsky’s film Black Swan. They answer questions like these: What was the first dance each host saw that made her go, dayuuuuuuum!? What is the metanarrative that director, Aronofsky uses throughout his films? What is the deal with the relationship between Nina and her mother? Does Nina’s ambition inevitably turn into obsession? How does Black Swan differ or ascribe to tropes of other dance and ballet movies? Is Nina’s experience authentic to that of an ACTUAL ballerina’s experience? Why is the Swan Queen the penultimate choreography for a ballet dancer? Why can’t Mary point her feet? How is Black Swan a fairy tale retelling of the original, 200-year-old Swan Lake? What makes this movie scary? How does this movie update the concept of Freud’s doppelganger? What brand of lipstick does Nina steal from Beth? Is this movie antifeminist? Black Swan (2010) – Directed by Darren Aronofsky and written by Mark Heyman and Andres Heines. Starring Natalie Portman, Mila Kunis, and Vincent Cassel.Genre: Horror, Supernatural, Thriller, Suspense, BalletWhere to watch: Netflix, AmazonSummary: Nina (Portman) is a ballerina in a New York City ballet company whose life, like all those in her profession, is completely consumed with dance. She lives with her obsessive former ballerina mother Erica (Hershey) who exerts a suffocating control over her. When artistic director Thomas Leroy (Cassel) decides to replace prima ballerina Beth MacIntyre (Ryder) for the opening production of their new season, Swan Lake, Nina is his first choice. But Nina has competition: a new dancer, Lily (Kunis), who impresses Leroy as well. Swan Lake requires a dancer who can play both the White Swan with innocence and grace, and the Black Swan, who represents guile and sensuality. Nina fits the White Swan role perfectly but Lily is the personification of the Black Swan. As the two young dancers expand their rivalry into a twisted friendship, Nina begins to get more in touch with her dark side - a recklessness that threatens to destroy her.

There, he’s just dad. In this collection of stories, Ben shares his funny and poignant adventures as the husband of Melissa McCarthy, and the father of their two young daughters. He also shares tales from his own childhood in Southern Illinois, and life with his father—an outspoken, brilliant, but unconventional man with a big heart and a somewhat casual approach to employment.   Ben is just an ordinary dad who has his share of fights with other parents blocking his view with their expensive electronic devices at school performances. Navigating the complicated role of being the only male in a house full of women, he finds himself growing more and more concerned as he sounds more and more like his dad. While Steve Falcone may not have been the briefcase and gray flannel suit type, he taught Ben priceless lessons about what matters most in life. A supportive, creative, and downright funny dad, Steve made sure his sons’ lives were never dull—a sense of adventure that carries through this warm, sometimes hilarious, and poignant memoir.

Steve McQueen is wearing a hat and scarf while his actors are in undershirtsRC-2012-106: Shame (2011)Your browser does not support this audioIn this episode, Rob determines that the breakout film for both McQueen and Fassbender is really just "The Lost Weekend, with fucking." While singing the praises of Fassbender and Carey Mulligan, the commentary considers whether or not sex addiction is really addiction (answer: I haven't a clue; ask a clinician) and how exceptionally the film captures the douche-y yuppies who populate the trendy bars in lower-Manhattan at quitting-time. If you learn anything from this commentary it should be that, while sex addiction can be a struggle, wearing a hoodie underneath a suit jacket—that's a real cry for help. Rob is proud of the fact that this is a movie about sex—glorious sex—and not once did he say the words "That what she said." Not once. The sync point is just after the Fox Searchlight Pictures title card.Listen to the mp3. Or go on a sex bender with the ghost of Steve Jobs by downloading from iTunes.

Washington journalist Helena Andrews is a purveyor of all things awesome. HarperCollins published her first book, a memoir in essays entitled BITCH IS THE NEW BLACK, on June 1st, 2010. Grey's Anatomy creator Shonda Rhimes has optioned the book as a feature film for Fox Searchlight Pictures. A former staff writer at Politico and New York Times Style Section contributor, Helena now writes a popular weekly column called “Single-Minded” on being “free, single and disengaged” for The Root, a division of The Washington Post. On December 10th, 2009 The Washington Post published a front-page profile of Helena that set the Interwebs on fire! The article, “Single Minded Success,” prompted responses from The Huffington Post, Jezebel and Racialicious among others. In it Helena explained why she wrote BITCH IS THE NEW BLACK: “What I'm trying to say about single black women [all women, really] is that you don't know them as well as you think you do. They may not know themselves as well as they think they do.” She approaches single-hood with rare honesty and grit. Helena has appeared on ABC's “Nightline,” CBS's “Early Show,” CNN, XM Radio, NPR and NY1. She's shared her unique take on everything pop culture from “The Real Housewives of Atlanta” (“totes cray cray”) to Disney's “Princess and the Frog” (magical indoctrination) with millions of fans across the country.
