Pirates of the Caribbean 4 Teaser Trailer
I was going to do another item from Calvin's list today, but the next one up was My Favorite Outfit and I don't have one. Unless we get to count someone else's outfit and then I like Jack Sparrow's...
I've got to admit, I really do like this teaser trailer. It reminds me of the trailers that you see on those old Alfred Hitchcock movies from the 50s were Hitch would step out and pitch the story to you while on the set of the film himself.
Same here, you have a likeable, almost larger than life character come up to you warmly with a good sense of humor and say "You should come see my movie." It seems a bit more personal and inviting then a string of indiscernible action clips stitched together by a bunch of fade to blacks and voice overs.

I hadn't thought of the Hitchcock comparison, but you're absolutely right. Great observation.
