There’s always something a bit disappointing about the trailers for Quentin Tarantino’s work- to me, anyway. Perhaps it’s because Tarantino was such a major figure in my education as a moviegoer- Pulp Fiction being the gateway drug to a whole world of classic foreign films both past and present. But while the news that a new Tarantino project is really, truly happening sends a wave of glee coursing up my spine, the trailers tend to lean a little too hard on the elements of his work that his detractors singled out back in the day- the violence, the stylized dialogue and performance style, and the inside-sports film references. In other words, the geeky stuff. But while this trailer doesn’t really seem like anything special to me, I’m nonetheless heartened by its existence, and with that the knowledge that this movie is finally happening. Besides, if there’s one lesson I’ve learned as a moviegoer, it’s that (as a director anyway) Tarantino should never be underestimated- not even when he gets the urge to misspell his title. Come August 21, I’m there, front and center.
