For a writer/director who’s known for his witty and charming dialogue, this teaser-trailer is suspiciously absent of any and all proof of that. It offers us but a few forced deliveries at the very beginning and end. How clever Kevin, you truly are a master wordsmith (But I guess that’s why it falls into the ‘teaser’ category). And look, it starts off in black & white, how nostalgic and paltry. Are we gonna be treated to another lame-ass attempt from Randal conning Dante into admitting all the gay S&M stuff he would do for a flying car again? Is he gonna tongue-lash another customer about how they can’t “shop here anymore!”
A is for: Aja, Alexandre. His High Tension didn’t perform too well, and the story itself had some flaws. But the directing was quite stunning and remarkable. Let’s hope his 2006 titles (The Hills Have Eyes and The Waiting
) live up to the expectations…
