Since it seems we’re sliding into the next Great Depression — unless we’re already there — I figured we could take a look back at The Grapes of Wrath. But what a bizarre trailer! Can’t find a copy of the book? Don’t bother: the movie is coming soon! As soon as we can finish it! But don’t worry, it’ll be great when it’s done, because we’re mobilizing the armies of 20th Century Fox! All the money that you and all the other schmucks haven’t had for the past decade? We’re blowing it on the movie. Wherever there’s a director goin’ over budget, Fox’ll be there. Wherever there’s a spoiled movie star renegotiatin’ a contract, Fox’ll be there.
