Is it just me?

Every time I see ads for Gamer, and they show Michael C. Hall doing the following:



it makes me think that somehow he is recreating a scene from Grease or West Side Story. I mean, it is dangerously close to jazz hands or spirit fingers, and the whole cut seems to start with him snapping his fingers.

I am comfortable with a story about a kid playing a game with a real human being as his proxy. Where Michael C. Hall and his character's fetish for interpretive theatrical dance comes into all that... I can only speculate. But it sort of freaks me out a little bit every time I see it because it makes no sense.

Oh, I know, they are remaking the climactic dance scene from Love is a Battlefield. Yeah, that's the ticket. I mean, that's the only plausible explanation I can come up with. But that leads to further questions. Like why would he do that?
