Bad Evening

(Firstly, sorry about the lack of updates these last few days, but I've been researching a project and have had work and yada blah et cetera. Learn to deal. If Mandy Moore can do it, so you can too!)

I know others have probably mentioned the new film Evening, which has one of the most amazing casts you're likely to see projected onto a big white screen. I can't really remember anyone discussing the trailer (view it below). And if they did, I'm not sure whether they hated it with the burning fire of a thousand suns. Cause I'm fairly sure I do. I really want to see this movie (that cast!) but my god, what a terrible trailer.

With it's constant cutting back and forth between time periods, with it's Thomas Newman score, which just screams "CRY, GODAMMIT!" (and I love Thomas Newman. It is Thomas Newman, right? Sure sounds like him), to it's utterly absurd switching of background music to Dido's "White Flag" (honestly!) and then the weird way the narrator randomly pops up to say "Evening" at the end. Some of the clips they chose to include don't seem to make much sense. It could have been so much simpler and streamlined. It's a mess. I just hope the movie is not.



Oh, and does anyone else wanna throw up a little when Patrick Wilson (who I adore) gives that whole "that's our star" routine. Blegh. Anyway. Carry on.
