pretense

Ignore for a minute the fact that the trailer seems to GIVE AWAY THE MOVIE (unless it's a red herring...) -- I am excited about it. I loved Gone Baby Gone, I think Ben Affleck finally found his calling, and I am happy for him.

My favorite part is where they don't mention that he directed it. Like he (or the studio, or someone) is keenly aware of how little street cred he has these days as an artist. It makes me like him more and reminds me of this AV Club interview with Mindy Kaling where she talks about his shitty yet unpretentious taste in music.

I also like this (totally pretensious) song a lot.
