Jeremy Keith's Layer 4 Commentary

Zoom in. Now enhance.

We’ve got ourselves a good ol’-fashioned zoom shot here. It’s that moment at the end of the movie where the camera closes in an an object and it’s revealed that all along, Rosebud was a…

I’d better stop there. I don’t want to get blame for letting slip that it’s a sled, he’s a dude, Vader is Luke’s father, and Bruce Willis was dead along. That would be wrong.

This volley brings up an interesting philosophical question. Can a movie poster contain spoilers for the movie it’s advertising? I’m sure we’d all like to know whether or not a film contains bacon, but would it will lessen the impact to know that Zombieland contains the best cameo ever from Bill Murray? Probably. That’s exactly the kind of internet spoiler you don’t expect to come across in a game of Layer Tennis.

This is a nicely-played zoom shot. The message is stark and simple: “includes bacon.” I’d love to have a rubber stamp of this. Could somebody please make one and stick it up on Etsy or pitch it to Think Geek? That would be super. Thanks.

Oh, and don’t think I haven’t noticed the wear and tear in the bottom right portion. Something wicked worn this way comes.
