Could The Tables Be Turning?

I'm kinda heartbroken to say it, but as much as I love good trailers... I think they are harder to write about. Which would then, in turn, mean that the bad trailers which I have constantly, consistently and convolutedly shouted out against in a quite colourful manner are actually easier to write about, and thus, preferrable to me.
I know, it's a sickening disorder. A complex I can't fully fathom and frankly don't care to either. Has all my longing for good trailers come back upon me in the form of cruel irony? On the one hand, if a trailer is good, then it's a great day initially. But then I have the extra stress of writing an essay length orgasm about it, which is a lot harder and unpleasant than it sounds. On the opposite end, if I get a horrendous trailer, it's seemingly a depressing day. But when I go to type up an article of pure hatred about it, the words just flow and I have a great time.
'tis quite the dilemma.

A good, wholesome example. Babel. Great trailer. Great, great trailer for an excellent looking film. It's about 4 different stories joined by one single event, a gunshot that literally triggers a whole shitstorm of plotlines. It stars Brad Pitt, Cate Blanchette, that Gael Garcia guy and an Asian girl. It's really great.
And that's all I really got.

So now, I've got to struggle to cram in two more paragraphs about the trailer. If it were a crappy trailer, I'd be having no problem in doing this. A lot of "This trailer is SO fucking shit that I could taste my own vomit before that green MPAA disclaimer screen ended." and "I've seen babies born without a head that had more promise than this rot."
But what can you say about Babel!? "This movie looks so captivating that I'm gonna be fucking glued to the screen for it's whole fucking entirety." See, there's no punch, no zazz. "I've seen babies born with a perfect bill of health and a wealthy, loving family with less promise than Babel." What's my deal with promising babies? Babies, Babel? This could be the connection I've been looking for. I might run with that.


It's not that Babel is unremarkable, it's just not... remarkable. And by that I mean, I have difficulty making remarks about it. Strong performances are obvious. Great script is obvious. Trailer does everything right. What more is there to say? Babel looks awesome, I really want to see it. I don't particularly want to write about it. Especially on zero income and a barely existent readership.
I suppose this means the tables truly have turned, and that I'm partially anticipating the evil and awful trailers, and sadly, dreading another great, but benign, trailer. I only wish it were different, Babel. I only wish.

Look out for: Try to piece together what a girl in Tokyo has to do with some American tourist being shot in the Middle East. Or is it Mexico? They jump between scenes so much I can't even distinguish one desert from another.
