When people get overly excited over something they’ve just seen on the internet and join in on the hype. Also, fangasms. Best example? The trailer for Where the Wild Things Are. I get it. I loved the book too and the trailer is good.
But lets remember a couple of things:
This film has been in production forever. That doesn’t bode well in terms of quality. In fact, the trailer uses an (albeit updated) Arcade Fire song from about the time it first went into production. It’s like Neon Bible never happened (which is maybe a good thing cause it was like the belch to Funeral’s three-course dinner).
And if we were to really account for the BEST Arcade Fire song choice to be used in the trailer to inspire the hipster/liberal/internet circle jerk, wouldn’t the obvious choice be “Rebellion (Lies)”? Doesn’t that better fit with the themes of the book?
Oh my God this trailer is the best thing to happen to me. Better than sex. Better than world peace.
Shut. Up.
