So this is absolutely amazing. I've honestly never read the books - they came just a tad after my time in terms of elementary school reading lists, and were ultimately overshadowed by Harry Potter. But frankly, this trailer makes me want to go check them out. It really is a flawlessly executed little piece, immediately setting the tone for the series as a whole as mysterious and fantastical, with its tongue planted firmly in cheek. Above all else, including Patrick Warburton's astonishingly perfect turn as Lemony Snicket, the setting is really what makes it. Maybe I'm just a sucker for Old Hollywood-style studio lots and the meta-narratives they imply, but count me in for this one. Hell, maybe they'll even have Jim Carrey stop by and do a cameo. That'd be cute.

Normally, I'd have some kind of long-winded explanation here about not posting and falling in and out of productivity and how busy I've been.
Fuck all that bullshit, here's Metallica.
