This is at least two years old. Funny, though.

I read about that last night. The new Esquire has a profile of David Fincher and he was playing the video for a reporter...Fincher talked about how he should have cut a trailer like that for "Fight Club"

Somehow this one should have included the kid's scary refrain: "Red-rum, red-rum, red-rum." That always gets me, just as the shot of a frozen Nicholson at the end. I love it, maybe Jack's best role.

I remember seeing the trailers and commercials for "Cocktail" and watching the videos including "Kokomo" and thinking it was this happy, feel-good movie.

Then I watched it and couldn't believe how dark it was...

Holy krap, that was funny! The Shining is one of my all-time favs, and I've seen it so many times it's almost like a comedy, like the trailer.

The use of "Solsbury Hill" is genius.

Fantastic. The only thing missing ...

"And Danny's found some new playmates!"

"Come play with us!"

Fincher article was really good, I thought. Though he contradicts himself - in one breathe, his movies don't have any deep meaning, he's just an entertainer, etc., etc. In the next breathe, "People didn't like 'Fight Club' because they didn't get it!' "

But I thought it was cool to read that he's really a normal guy that loves to make movies, not some deranged weirdo like his flicks would lead you to believe. Bit of a control freak and tough to work for, but a professional movie maker.
