Jason Reitman directs movies about every two years, which seems about right for staying relevant without overextending yourself. This is the first clip from Up in the Air, his follow-up to Juno and Thank You for Smoking (the rare movie adaptation that’s actually better than the book). It’s based on a 2001 Walter Kirn novel about a guy on a personal quest to rack up a million frequent flyer miles. In the clip, George Clooney and Vera Farmiga talk miles, upgrades, and the latest hotel trend — an atmosphere that is “faux-homey,” or “fauxmey.” The term seems unnecessary as it relates to travel, but “faux-homey”? I think we’ve finally found the politically correct replacement for “wigger.” Used in a sentence: I went to Ben Lyons’ and Danny Masterson’s DJ show last night, and man can those fauxmeys spin!

Where the hell are all my fauxm slices this fine morning?
I don’t know if I can take another pudding sub-plot.
Wiggers don’t wake up this early because they are lazy and shiftless.
Duke! What are you doing in here? Shouldn’t you be out puking on the teacups or Mr. Toad’s Wild Ride?
It seems that fauxmey would more appropriately describe Carlton Banks or Toney Sinclair. I think Danny Masterson and Ben Lyons would be placed in the Genus: “Douche” and Species: “Bag”. Also, this would be in the Family: Zenu, not Homo; that’s a whole different class of Douche Bag. I know, it gets confusing with all the Douche Bags out there, but you can tell the difference by their smug.
I’d let Vera Farmiga bleauxmey.
“Mr. Toad’s Morbidly Obese Ride”, aka Disneyland, was yesterday, Erswi. The President sent me here today to teach you kids about racism & how to do it properly.
This movie sounds exactly like ‘Passenger 57′ except really fucking boring.
Dor sho gha! RED ALERT! FAUXMULONS!!!
Don’t you go telling us to work hard and be respectful of others or we might have to
killignore you.NANANANANANANA I’M NOT LISTENING!!
Fuckin’ Illinois Fauxzis. I hate Illinois Fauxzis.
i didnt read the book, but the real guy (one of the guys?) who tried to do this came across as an self-important jackass (“miles are the new currency”) … he also would find food products that were from companies that were airline partners , so he’d buy 500 pudding cups just for the air miles …
and i’m pretty damn sure he never got to pick up a chick in a hotel bar
Vera Farmiga’s name sounds like some chic trying to say her own name while blowing a guy.
Vera Farmigas is a how a racist german wonders where his stable boys are
So, this movie sounds like it needs more Channing Tatum. He’s definitely fauxmey at the mouth for another Oscar contender(G.I. Joe jumped the gun.)
