    Supercool. David Poland, you are a gentleman and a scholar.

    So Now Then:

    This isn’t a “fake trailer” so much as a short film hijacking that format (hence the extended length) for pacing and musical purposes. Using and abusing all the familiar beats of a theatrical preview to tell its story.

    The concept was also meant to be a commentary on how trailers more often than not give away the whole movie…

    Enjoy! (I hope!)

    That guy has my physique and he’s with a skinny chick.

    How do you get an acting agent?

    Iggy, I gotta say, I was very impressed by this. Made me laugh out loud several times, which is more than I can say for most “comedy” trailers. Love the Peter Andrews/Roderick Jaynes bit in the credits. Shoot me an email – jeff@thewrap.com – would love to introduce myself.

    Thanks for posting this, DP.

    @Lex – This didn’t occur to you while you were watching “Knocked Up”?

    @Jeff – Done and done, my good man.

    @DappaDave – Consider yourself cast in my feature film debut, once I find an agent who will acknowledge my existence.

    @Bob BuzzKill – …..

“Two hours in the labyrinth of Paramount’s Avarice…. It was my first–and my last–IMAX venture. Haven’t been to a 3-D movie in years, and it’s bye-bye to THAT scathing visual transgression for the remainder of MY lifetime… It was an unceasing, unrelenting, take-no-audience-prisoners audial and visual back-alley mugging for two hours… I have been beaten up many times; I know what it feels like: this was a two-hour assault. I weep, as Jesus wept, for the generations that will grow up thinking this is what it means to “go to the movies.” I am near-on 79, and I [understand] that this is a generational opinion, but I do not think any sensible person not of a tot age where videogame… overkill is pro forma, could confuse the IMAX “experience” with a Saturday matinee outing. The term “author” as regards Summer Blockbuster movies, is not only moot, it is Urdu. Mountains heave mightily, and give birth to volcanic ant-hills.”

“One of the things I wish I could do in my life would be to watch this film through somebody else’s eyes. I just can’t. I still see it as just a giant mess, and other people are seeing that it has a shape. That’s really exciting, because I still have a hard time seeing it clearly.”
