The gorgeous Garden State teaser trailer
Have fellow MoFites seen this yet? (Quicktime)
Zach Braff of Scrubs fame wrote, directed, and starred in this film, with Natalie Portman costarring and looking like she's trying to put that whole Star Wars mess behind her.
There seems to be a minor obsession growing on the net with this trailer, which I find interesting because the trailer actually conveys very little explicit information about what the film is about. No dialogue, just images and sound perfectly meshed to create meaning and mood. Apophenia, perhaps? Hey, found meaning can sometimes be spectacular, ie earth erotica. But in this case, I think the editors of the trailer are using the Kuleshov effect to, well, full effect. Or maybe the trailer's wowing power can be explained simply enough: Natalie Portman's hot. Why is this trailer so damn effective, MoFites? (Oh, and in case you want the song - "Let Go" by Frou Frou - it's downloadable in full here.)
whenif it does suck, it'll likely be very pretty regardless.to stay home on a Saturday night and stock up on fresh Natalie images for my Own Personal Usethat there was nothing going on in town, and flicking on the tube, happened to see thatshe of that orgasmic little yelp in Episode IIsuch a talented actress was on.Capt., you might need to check your keyboard. I think there may be some keys stuck or something.Wait, gimmie a sec, it looks like the keyboard has a bit of somethingnacho cheese. There. That's better.
