“Sweet Disposition” The Temper Trap

A year ago, John sent this and there was much rejoicing. There’s something very…cruising up PCH about that opening guitar. I’m pretty sure I was the only person in the theater who clapped (quietly! to myself!) when it popped up in (500) Days of Summer.

And while we’re on the subject: In praise of the sci-fi corridor.

As the great warrior poet, Ice Cube said…

At the start.

And then.

Followed by.

And then books and wind and walking.

At the end.

A Single Man

That might be the best trailer I’ve seen all year. That’s a whole lot of awesome for one film (and “Mad Men’s” production designer, to boot!). I’m in.

There is a holiness to the heart’s affections.

The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus

That looks quite fun!

A Serious Man

Possibly the most irritating trailer I’ve ever watched. Generally, I can get behind/appreciate repetition/build-up of sounds to a crescendo, but wow. Not this time.

Another thing, too, is that dead space in the dialogue. Done well it’s…funny/poignant/etc. Here it feels…too clever by half. With the door openings and slow-walk to “The rabbi’s busy”? Just no.

Awesome.

Maybe I am.

(Generally can’t stand Wayfarers. There are approximately 3 people that can pull them off, JP here being 1. The rest of you: knock it off. :P)

So I had somethin’ to offer.

Good morning, Sam.

Love that this trailer is mostly long shots (well, for a trailer, anyway) and the cuts don’t get crazy until the music does near the end.

Pour Elle (trailer in HD)

I like that wide angle distortion. (Also: any trailer that gets the point across with only 3 words of dialogue is okay in my book. [Okay, yes, title cards, but still.])

Not that the whole movie isn’t good, but an hour and fifty some minutes in is what sold me. You don’t always get to see the lead come unhinged without road signs and music cues. This was spot-on. Wow.

My personal faves. Incredibles - The Chairs. (via swissmiss)

Like ectoplasm from a medium, it is the visible extrusion of a marketing campaign.

Ouch.
