So the trailer for the new Green Hornet movie hit the inter-ma-web the other day, and I have to say it made me cautiously optimistic about the film. I still have no idea why this movie needs to be in 3D, and the January release date seems like a vote of no confidence from the studio, but still, I hope it'll be fun.
I've watched the trailer a few times since it was released, and the same thing jumps out at me in the beginning EVERY. SINGLE. TIME.
Is it a flub? Is it explained in the movie? This is definitely the least important thing in the world, and yet it vexes me so, getting me way down deep in the place where I try (and often fail) to keep my grammar pedantry hidden (not the same thing, I realize, but it feels related somehow). It's like the Stormtrooper bumping his head in Star Wars... once I saw it, I couldn't not see it, you know?Maybe this is just my own private First World Nerd Problem.

The Standard is one of those fancy's-itself-ultra-hip-in-an-ironic-way kinds of hotels. I think it is supposed to "mean" something, like they turn the 'standard' for cool hotels on its head or cleverness like that.
Hopefully that helps with the vexing part.
