*snorks* After watching the deeply traumatic “Dive From Clausen’s Pier”, I continued my persuit of ex-Mutant Enemy-ers by watching the trailer for the new “Posiedon Adventure”, co-starring Adam Baldwin. The opening of the trailer was set to “The Lusty Month of May”, from Camelot, clearly chosen for its nostalgic quality and appropriateness for a cruise ship of very wealthy individuals. This delighted me, as I love Camelot, and it was so unexpected!
But as the trailer got more and more intense, the song kept going, overlayed with a counterpoint of more action-appropriate music. What a powerfully ironic directorial choice, I thought to myself! Then I paused the trailer because my mom came in, but the music was still going. Then I realized that I’d forgotten to turn off iTunes when I’d muted my computer, and iTunes had just happened to be playing “The Lusty Month of May” on its methodical plod through my library, and it just happened to be perfectly synched to sound fitting with the trailer. I’m half disappointed, half “wow, that was serendipitously awesome”.
