First of all, let me congratulate you on what is without question one of the most honest “romantic comedies” (if the term even applies) in the last few years. You have a great script, an amazing cast and crew, and an even better soundtrack that actually serves the story nicely. Bravo.
Having said that, I really don’t know if I’m more interested to hear how you did it, or how you thought you could get away with it. The overly romantic viewpoint, the band t-shirts (both the fact that they are being warn and the bands that were chosen), the elaborate fantasy dance sequence, it is beyond obvious that the character of Tom has been based directly on me. Don’t bother denying it, nobody will believe you. I’m actually flattered that you would cast Joseph Gordon-Levitt to play me.
I don’t know how you managed to follow me for your research and getting into my head to view my fantasies is frankly rude, and even though I feel it went to a good cause, I simply cannot let this pass. Also, why did you feel the need to make it “500″ days when your research should clearly show the same arch actually happens in half that?
I did enjoy your film and hate to think my discovery of your illegal (not to mention supernatural) surveillance might prohibit others from doing the same. Simply begin sending me my royalty checks and I promise you will hear no more about it from me.
Sincerely,
P.J. “Tom” Kryfko
