While traveling the internets today, I kept coming across the “first” trailer for “The Mysteries of Pittsburgh,” adapted from Michael Chabon’s novel of the same name. I loved the book — it’s one of my favorites, really. It was one of the first books I LOL’d to. Plus it was kinda gay — the lead male character doesn’t mind himself a little dick now and then.
But isn’t the new trailer actually the second trailer? I featured the first one back in January. I remember a reader commented that the adaptation had ruined the story and asked me to boycott the movie.
The trailers are somewhat similar, but maybe the first one was the unofficial version? Either way, they’re both pretty gay, and you can watch them both after the jump. (The new one is first.)
My original comments on the first trailer: “I haven’t seen this movie, but if it’s anything like the book (of the same name) it’s based on, it’s going to be wonderful. Michael Chabon is one of my favorite writers. The movie: “Set in Pittsburgh in the early eighties, the story chronicles the last true summer of Art Bechstein’s youth. Stuck in a dead-end job working for his eccentric sometime girlfriend Phlox, and forced into an endless series of airless dinners with his mobster father, Art begins to believe that perhaps he doesn’t even exist at all . . . ” Watch above. via MyVideo.”
