RedLetterMedia just put up a Plinkett vid of TFA teaser.

Nothing too groundbreaking here, but I'm glad RLM is continuing their assault against those asinine "trailer reaction" videos - which reached levels of sublimity in Rich Evans' "reaction" to the original teaser. I think I would have preferred a follow-up to that (though it'd be hard to top).

I don't know if I'm reading too much into it, but I think Stoklasa is being cautiously optimistic about the new trailer. Just like his partner in crime, Jay:

Take the part where Plinkett says "the teaser doesn't show much. Just tell us what the movie is about!!!" and sighs with nostalgia "remember the old trailers?" and uses as an example the original teaser for Star Wars, which, like TFA's, tells us NOTHING about the movie!

And obviously the part at the end where he suddenly catches himself praising Star Wars for the same things he was poo-pooing a second earlier. That was on the nose.

At the end, how many of you caught the small, small message? I wonder if it's true or if it's more bait for the people who ask "more!" constantly.
