I'm Probably The Only Person Who...


When watching the trailer for THE MANHATTAN PROJECT, I started to laugh. Not because there was something funny on screen, actually the trailer is quite serious. The trailer music was what made me laugh but not because it's funny either. It's because it came from an unlikely source. Now most of you know that trailer music rarely is original music and is normally taken from other works from the company that's releasing the film. The choice for this film's trailer music is a head scratcher, and made me laugh as soon as I noticed it. The music is from the 1983 fantasy comedy follow-up to GREASE (not a sequel, a reteaming) of John Travolta and Olivia Newton-John (and subsequent box office bomb) TWO OF A KIND. So if you've seen the movie, you'll know why that's amusing. If you haven't, you should. It's great and terrible at the same time!
