So, now apparently we’re throwing red-carpet premieres for previews? Listen, it’s Summer Doldrums, so I’m not complaining. Wait — I am going to complain a little, because Idris Elba and Viola Davis are in this movie and I wish they’d been in attendance, but I am going to assume they would be if they could be. Anyway, preview parties seem simultaneously crazy to me, and also maybe like something we should do all summer for the movies coming out later. Two things can be true.

Also, after trumpeting that slideshows were fixed, it’s cockamamie for me again. We will see if this one works!!!
