A Pop Life

I’m going through my massive collection of MP3′s and I came across a song I was very obsessed with. Frou Frou – Let go. I first heard in the teaser trailer for Garden State.

The full trailer that came out later:

This is one of my favorite trailers of all time. The movie..ehh..not so much. But to be fair, my intense love for the trailer gave me expectations that NO movie could live up to. Me and my then roommate would watch the trailer over and over and over again. Some days I’d watch it up to 10 times a day. My expectations shouldn’t have been so high. I have somewhat learned my lesson regarding expectations and trailers. The last time I was burned was Harold and Kumar 2. The biggest save for that movie was the NPH.

I can’t help feeling a little bit sad for what Garden State could have been. Natalie Portman tried reaaaally hard. I just imagined a life changing soul rejuvenating life affirming movie. It just wasn’t meant to be. The soundtrack was amazing. It was really top notch.

But that trailer still haunts me.
