Or, indeed, might already have been received by those who probably didn't see it. Should you have ever commented on an Internet post, or even read one, you might be familiar not merely with some of this content, but also with the story arc of the conversation. You might even have been tempted yourself to contribute to said conversation. Of course, this ad is also a beautifully severe critique of all the quotes that Hollywood studios purloin, edit and breathlessly pump out in order to pretend that their entirely mediocre movie is not merely brilliant, but the heralding of an entirely new genre. So I can only hope this movie is even a quarter as funny as this entirely joyous trailer.
