Re: Pynchon’s Book Trailer, and Other Stories from the Week

[David Morris]

I think the trailer's worst flaw is its smugness.  It's an old joke, the
Simpson's gag, here dragging on an on, assuming its audience will hang on
each poor embellishment (I stopped it at about 1.30 in).  It is really an
insult.  Insults can be funny.  This was just stale.
