Two weeks ago, I lambasted MTV and Rian Johnson for publishing a “director’s commentary” for the trailer for “Looper”, which seemed ridiculous and unnecessary, killing the beautiful aura of mystery surrounding the film. I’m more open to the clip above, in which Joss Whedon records a sort of mini director’s commentary track, voicing over one
