Congratulations Longing Glance!



Everyone will know you're coming.  You close out the trailer, you'll be featured prominently on a number of talkshows, and many the sex-starved housewife will talk breathlessly about how fluttery you make her feel deep down in her belly.  People will go out to see you, and even though they know exactly where you'll be in the movie, based largely on context clues and basic knowledge of story structure, they'll still be very affected by your appearance.

You're a longing glance.  You're going to be shared between two people we all regularly masturbate thinking of and, after you're finished, we're going to feel like something really special just happened even though two people who never graduated from high school just stared at each other blankly for a while while someone else pumped mood-altering music into a soundtrack designed to make you feel things in the most base, animalistic parts of your brain.  Sure, nothing of meaning will have transpired, but because of you, you meaningful glance, the world will be shattered.  Award shows will reference you, clip shows will feature you, and memes will emerge parodying the deep, heartfelt emotion you imply, but don't actually really do that much to express.

Soon, you'll be forgotten, but today is your first day in the public eye, the release day of your trailer, so we hope you enjoy the sudden rush of attention you receive before all of this becomes pabulum and leaves you feeling besieged, like a longing glance can't even have a personal life anymore.

Congratulations Longing Glance!
