TALKING HEADS - BEST TRAILER MUSIC EVER
I saw this trailer a few days ago and it gave me that shiver that really insightful art provides. It exists at the sublime juncture between life, video, and advertising. It makes the president out to be the profoundly Quixotic, troubled, absurdly powerful icon of a new gilded age, imbued with the darkest sense of comedy.
The movie looks heavy handed. But so was/is the whole era. I just hope it's emotionally and politically cathartic enough to be worth seeing in theaters. I wonder who chose the Talking Heads? As Stranger music editor Eric Grandy pointed out, it fits perfectly.
