Here is the trailer, featuring Douglas Wilson. It is for "No Quarter" November, whatever that is...
In short, this video is cringe-worthy. It is embarrassing to watch.
It reminds me of that Elizabeth Warren video where she tries to look like an average American by drinking a beer on camera, but it just looks forced and awkward.
Or an even better analogy is when Presidential candidate Michael Dukakis, who was sort of a wimp, tried to look tough by riding in a tank. But the photo-op of him in an over-sized helmet made him look like a small 12-year old boy and it tanked his political career.
Well, the same for this video. Many Reformed guys seem to be trying to act manly. Wilson is simply trying too hard here to look like a Barney Bad-Butt.
Some young reformed guys almost cannot take a selfie without being posed with a bottle of scotch, a cigar, showing off their tattoo, and with their beard glossed. It is all a sort of reformed vanity. The Doug Wilson video is a good example of that. Very cringe-y.
A soft middle aged guy complaining about the West being soft as he spits, and holds gasoline in a field and talks about "disciplining it [an issue] with a canoe-paddle" (1:03).
The video is entitled "No Quarter" as if we are to kill the prisoners? And he speaks of being a pirate and hoisting the Jolly Rogers? The only thing missing is a Cowboy hat. Why isn't he strapped with a side-arm, I wonder.
Meanwhile, after complaining of soft men, he can barely sit down in his flowery sofa at 1:13 without grunting.
Everything about this short video clip is cringe-worthy. The whole clip seems to show that he thinks much too highly of himself.
I really believe that this is how NOT to do a promo video.
