It Burns So Good


The first full trailer for Promising Young Woman director Emerald Fennell's Saltburn is here (we did have a very brief teaser previously) and it has reminded me how fucking much I loved this movie when I saw it several weeks back and how much I cannot wait for y'all to see it. I have not reviewed it yet but I will be reviewing it for its release on November 17th -- needless to say expect some wild lunatic raving. This perverted gay-ish shit so up my alley y'all.

If you have missed the Saltburn noise before now this movie stars Barry Keoghan as a poor boy who becomes obsessed with Jacob Elordi a rich boy, and his family of eccentrics including Richard E. Grant and Rosamund Pike, and it all goes -- rather spectacularly -- off the deep end. I will say no more and as delicious a trailer as this is I would also recommend not watching the trailer -- I went in fairly clean, only knowing what I have said so far, and oh how I LIVED. But still here's the trailer anyway, make up your own mind.


I'm seeing this a second time next week thank goodness -- not just because I have been wanting to sit down and watch it a second time ever since the first time, but also because I wasn't sure I was writing about it when I saw it at that first early preview screening and then I saw it and the second I got out I emailed my editor demanding I get the chance to write about it. So a refresher will be good! Not that this is a movie that doesn't imprint itself onto your consciousness immediately. Okay I really just wanna see its last scene on a big screen again. Aaaaaaanyway you'll know all about that soon enough, so stay tuned! And hit the jump for a few bonus gifs...

This looks worth seeing for that karaoke scene alone. I rewound the trailer 3 times to laugh at it.

None of them is gay. just putting a Harry Styles shtick vague flirt played safe cause at the end of the day they are "normals" (both actors and characters) + reading anti-trans authors in the movie cause why not?!

I took your advice and watched Saltburn completely naive and uninformed as to the plot. What a way to bring in the NEW YEAR. Most enjoyable movie for me of the last two years. Incredible acting. I must sit down now on new years day and watch it again!
