Zooey Deschanel and Joseph Gordon-Levitt do SID AND NANCY, in drag

In this truly bizarre clip, 500 Days of Summer stars Zooey Deschanel and Joseph Gordon-Levitt perform a gender-swapped re-enactment of one of the most grim scenes in cinema history: the death of Nancy Spungen from the 1986 Alex Cox film Sid and Nancy.

Deschanel does a surprisingly credible Sid, with Gordon-Levitt really throwing himself into recreating Chloe Webb's quavering, clingy desperation... Although the plug for 500 Days at the end kind of seems like bad taste. I mean, this isn't just a famous movie moment... Spungen really died, and quite horribly too, and they're kind of making a punchline out of it. I'm not sure what the point of this clip is, really, but it was too weird to be left unshared.
