film fact of the day

The Smiths aren’t a real band. Zooey Deschanel was supposed to say “I love Radiohead” during the elevator scene of 500 Days of Summer, but she forgot her line and improvised the name “The Smiths”. the music heard in the movie by this make-believe band was provided by Pavement.

Wrong.

The Smiths are an 80s post punk/alternative band fronted by Morrisey. You might have heard of a little tune called How Soon is Now.

Initially the film’s producers put up a small Wikipedia article to give the impression that the smiths had existed but after the movie became a hit fans began filling in the backstory. Everything you know about the smiths and this Morrissey character is an elaborate patchwork of fanfiction, which is why Morrissey appears to contradict himself so often

    The Smiths were the Monkees of the 80’s; except the Monkees played their own instruments.
