11.24.09 BEN STILLER HAS DEPRESSION, CARDIGANS
This is the trailer for Greenberg, from writer/director Noah Baumbach, starring Ben Stiller. I feel very unqualified to talk about it, since Noah Baumbach is that guy who I always hear good things about but I’m not that familiar with, and the trailer has a song from one of those bands that everyone says is cool that I never got around to listening to probably because I’m not that cool. ;-(
A New Yorker moves to Los Angeles in order to figure out his life while he housesits for his brother, and he soon sparks with his brother’s assistant.
Based on the trailer, it appears Ben Stiller is a mopey, depressed loser, until one day he meets a girl who’s desperate and depressed and lonely enough herself to put with his crap. Then she won’t bone him at first because she already boned everyone else and she wants this to be different. Then his dog gets cancer and they fall in love, a story as old as time. I dunno, I might see this. Or I might just eat easy cheeze straight from the can and zone out on the couch watching Maury. Either way, man, I don’t even care anymore.
Also in HD at Apple

BEN STILLER HAS DEPRESSION, CARDIGANS
This is one Deschanel away from being a tour-de-force indie flick.
where the robots? the explosions? the sassy black person? i can’t watch this, not even with the promise of droopy white tits
His dog gets cancer so he gets a rebound kitty.
This looks enjoyable, and thus proves my theory that Ben Stiller fails when he’s buff, and succeeds when he’s shlubby.
I’d be depressed too if I had the same IMdb page as Ben.
Why can’t mopey, depressed losers played by Ben Stiller just off themselves and save us all the $8.50 for a ticket?
The Squid and the Whale was a total ripoff of Megashark Vs. Giant Octopus.
this will not be shown on the BET channel…
Hey isn’t that neckbearded QB, Ben of the Stillers?
I’d like to see Ben Stiller and Steve Carell star in a movie about one guy who helps pioneer a common cliche role of an average good guy struggling to make sense of his life in a world that’s not always fair and another guy who comes and takes the same role only does it better, leaving the first guy only minimal chances to get starring roles like that.
I’d call it “Wankfest”.
I like they way they cut from a scene of a veterinarian saying only dogs can catch cancer, to a scene of the girlfriend in a hospital bed.
* makes giant dismissive wank motion, ends with a salute *
Greenberg = Iceberg with the clap
Fried chicken is good comfort food when you’re depressed.
Ben Stiller is in the boat that Adam Sandler has sort of drifted off close to, being that I only actually like them when their movies are funny and entertaining.
It’d be cool if he jizzed on his ear.
Elizabethtown?
Is this a remake of The Tao of Steve?
Because Ben Stiller is no Donal Logue.
lcd soundsystem is cool, I saw them in Barcelona.
Because Ben Stiller is no Donal Logue.
Who is? Not even Donal Logue, that’s who.
Alt title;
Ben has a dent, sweater.
white people sure do love their sweaters
You forgot to mention that Owen Wilson plays a Cowboy.
