A last second e-mail over a week ago has turned into a contribution on a blog post, so I thought it might make a good factoid.
Right before I left for Wilderness, I got an e-mail from Frank Mengarelli, the “Pompous Film Snob,” asking me what my favorite trailer ever was. I instantly replied because I knew my answer, but on the way to the airport, I saw his reply asking for a bit of a write-up. I scribbled down some rationale for my choice, and while I was gone, he ran the favorites.
It’s some of my favorite bloggers who contributed, so the whole post is worth checking out. Here’s what I wrote about my favorite trailer ever, the teaser for “The Curious Case of Benjamin Button.”
I love the teaser for “Benjamin Button” because it perfectly captures the magic of the movie. It shows the aging process without ruining anything except the breathtaking cinematography. The “Carnival of the Animals” playing in the background only adds to the sense of wonder. I hadn’t even heard of the movie when I first saw the trailer, and it absolutely knocked me off my feet.
Coming in at a close second is probably the “Up in the Air” teaser.
