Film fans long-dependent on Todd Solondz as a reliable source of scenes involving child molestation, ejaculation, rape, and other difficult-to-watch graphic sex should prepare to be let down by this trailer for Dark Horse. From this preview, Solondz's latest appears to be an utterly straightforward Indie Dramedy of the highest order, a film about an overweight action figure aficionado (the Harvey Weinstein-esque Jordan Gelber) living with his parents and attempting a relationship with an out-of-sorts Selma Blair. Just to clarify, at no point in this trailer does this character ever masturbate onto a Supergirl figure before weeping uncontrollably and ruining the doll's mint packaging. Weird for a Solondz, right? He would usually tuck that in there. Anyway, here's the bizarrely normal trailer. Presumably, it's just cutting around all the shots of a toupéed Christopher Walken tearfully flashing back to taking a shower with his mother at a very late age (as a statement about suburban life, obviously).
