WTF?!

Well, that’s a much cleaner and succinct way of conveying my initial reaction when I finally got around to Googling the trailer for The Time Traveler’s Wife, but you get the idea.  The trailer does a not-completely-half-assed job at conveying the storyline, the requisite tug-at-your-heartstrings music is well placed, and the casting is not completely unforgivable.  I was even moved to tears – but not because of the stupid song or seeing that some of my favorite scenes from the novel survived the cutting room floor or even the grudging realization that Rachel McAdams may actually be able to pull off Clare (although I still think it should have been Lauren Ambrose) – I felt tears welling up because HELLO THIS MOVIE WAS FILMED IN CANADA.
