This week, Bad Robot Productions released a mysterious trailer for something called
Stranger. Take a look,
won't you? Is it a movie? A video game? An Albert Camus "Choose Your Own Adventure"? All of the above? I DON'T KNOW STOP HOUNDING ME! Listen, J.J. Abrams is a master at viral marketing (see
Cloverfield), and a decent technical director (although I'm still waiting for him to direct a truly well-written project, because fuck you Damon Lindelof). But my patience is wearing thin for these slick, yet ultimately hollow, teasers. The "Isn't this cool?" vibe that his camp perfected in the mid-2000s as we anticipated new episodes of
Lost now only serves to infuriate me. But I'm a bitter old man, and
Lost is almost a decade old. Now isn't THAT something.
