Wait for the kick! Get it, guys? Inception joke. Joseph Gordon-LOVE IT! Something something hangnail. Black Swan! Seriously, though, is Natalie Portman in all the movies now? Is that what’s happening? It’s OK, I just want to know. She is, yes? Yes. There is a poster for Best Sex Friends, that movie she just did with Ashton Kutcher, in my local subway station, and someone wrote “SELL OUT BITCH” on her face with a marker, which always makes me laugh. Uh, pretty sure Natalie Portman has been a movie star since she was three years old or whatever. I guess I’m just surprised that it was not until just now that she finally abandoned that dude’s idea of her as a paragon of anti-corporate artistic integrity. Did Princess Amidalla have a regular column in Burn Collector or something? (“Me so lovey diving-dumpsters!,” says Jar Jark Bonks.) Anyway, this looks pretty good, even if I have no idea what it is about. I mean, yes, sadness, and swirlies, and shaving, and prison tattoos, and treating children like adults if you are also really awful to adults. Oh, and house explosions? Got it. Being white is hard & fun.

Being white isn’t the ONLY thing that’s hard & fun, IF YOU KNOW WHAT i MEAN!
This trailer makes me think the film will be a bit like A Room For Romeo Brass. Which is a good thing.
Finally, a movie that’s not afraid to tell the truth about the dangers of inviting bedraggled prison hippies to stay over at your grandma’s house.
I thought Heshers had mullets?
BTW that Dermotologist ad over there is way more horrifying than anything that could possibly happen in Hesher.
All I see is a dancing elephant and a girl in a bikini.
your lucky.
it’s “you’re” not “your”
watched this trailer yesterday when I saw it on your precious “huffington post” and I thought it looked hella lame, like crash or traffic or whatever. “oh I’m joseph gordon levit and I have long hair and I’m not wearing my usual fop dandy little vest and tailored suits so you are sexually confused this time, ladies” etc. cant stand that crap. and while I think natalie portman is pretty that doesnt cut it for me if you expect me to sit tight and watch some movie a movie like this
The fortunate thing, Steve, is if this Natalie picture doesn’t hold any appeal, you can see her in literally any other movie coming out this spring.
Wait a minute. No caps, commas, or apostrophes; two grammatical errors; and an unwillingness to watch a potentially bad movie in the interest of seeing a pretty face? WHO ARE YOU AND WHERE IS STEVE WINWOOD, YOU FUCKING IMPOSTOR.
Oh, I’m not sexually confused; I would still hit that. I would hit that and then shower, but I would still hit it.
Winwood, you say “hella” enough- are you from NorCal, bro?
If they needed someone to sit on a couch, unshaven, they didn’t need Rainn Wilson. They should have just asked me. I do that practically every day. For free.
my brain read that as “You smell like The Smiths”
In a world.. where being white is hard, this kid is about to discover..(record scratch/metallica riff) the child star from 3rd rock is shaping up to be a decent actor lately. #kaboom
So, is this basically a Fight Club for kids? Is Joseph Gordon-Levitt’s character going to end up being a figment of the little kid’s imagination at the end?
Black Swan for guys?
Dude, spoiler alert.
I thought Chris Hansen nailed that role already
The fact that several of us assumed this during the trailer is an unintentional commentary on the state of American cinema, right? “Indie film with strange character pairing. One is obviously not real.”
Also Joseph Gordon Levitt’s skull tat is worse than the crap I Sharpied onto my jeans in like 7th grade.
perhaps getting a hesher can become a thing like doing a mulligan is a thing. i could use a hesher every monday.
not too late to change the name of this movie to heifer
Long hair and tattoos or not, Jose Go-Le with his shirt off isn’t particularly intimidating.
Hey, Party Nerds!
SWM here looking for a good time with Natalie Portman’s Crazy Aunt glasses. No sarcasm allowed! Where can I buy glasses like that so that I can legally put them on my face? My current glasses aren’t party wear, but the glasses I see in this trailer are the Party Shits! Does anyone know where I buy the glasses like that, please.

When I started hanging out with a topless, tattooed, long-haired man at the age of 13, they didn’t make a movie out of it. They just called the cops.
I was almost on Cops though (or, as we Brits call it, Lorry Rozzers)
Funny, this doesn’t look like Hesh at all. Hesh looks like this:
?
This movie is actually really, really good. I saw it at the Philly Film Festival last year, and it is funny and thoughtful and sad and all the stuff movies should be. The director talked about it and had interesting things to say about the process of making it and the imagery, and I felt all warm and film-festival-y inside, like Robert Redford was going to be standing outside the theater with a latte and a scarf, asking me what I thought.
Then I saw Peep World and all of the good feelings went away (WMOAT, y’all, so much WMOAT). Hesher, though, is definitely worthwhile.
Huh, really? Because the trailer is, erm, underwhelming.
It kinda looks like “Fight Club” meets “The Good Girl” meets “The Sunshine Cleaning Company” only with more children and unnecessary explosions.
Seeing as I did not especially enjoy any of those movies, this isn’t what you would call a complimentary description.
Apparently the trailer isn’t legit:
“I’m sure you’ve seen or heard about the HESHER trailer that’s spreading around. I wanted to let you know that it’s far from the official trailer. It’s a trailer cut for foreign markets from the same “geniuses” who tried to change the name to “rebel”. While it’s not a bad trailer, it was created by the foreign sales representatives of the film for the specific intent of explaining the film to people in foreign, often non-english-speaking markets. I’m happy to see that people online like the trailer and are interested in HESHER, but the trailer doesn’t accurately present the tone of the film or the character of Hesher. Anyway, I’m looking forward to sharing the official trailer which will be out very soon and I feel will communicate the film’s intent more clearly.”

Huh, that’s interesting. I don’t know anything about trailer construction. All those things happen in the movie, but they are connected by other things and dialogue and plot and stuff, so it’s better.
I mean, if you watch this movie and hate it I won’t think you’re a terrible person or anything. I like Fight Club and The Good Girl. It is nothing like either of those movies, except perhaps for some of the broad strokes of the characters.
guess who’s pregnant
I’m so glad they squeezed in an explosion at the very end of the trailer. It wound’t be an American trailer without an explosion.
Also he’s not looking at it. #coolguysdon’tlookatexplosions
I like movies where people go through sad events and make it through them in the end. It makes me sad but happy too.
Anyone think there’s a connection between Levitt’s character and his brother? All that fire…
If I did not maybe already have a crush on Videogum and all the monsters, the gratuitous Burn Collector reference just made me marry the internets.
I’ve been waiting for this movie to come out as a JGL fan, so having a REAL trailer come out after it’s been complete for over a year is very good news. Great.
Um, Gabe and I have the same subway station. WEIRD.
Did you…Did you vandalize a picture of Natalie Portman?
I noticed that poster and thought of all kinds of things I wanted to write on it, but never would because I am a city employee and already have to report my previous citations every time I do anything and am a magnet for police even at my advanced age, and took note of the addition, which relieved some of the pressure of how much I hate it. Sometimes I wonder if the entire popular culture industry got established as an organization to put an end to casual sex by advertising it constantly but then showing everyone falling in stupid love at the end.
“I thought making sure that this character was real was really important.” — Ashton Kutcher

I’ve never been so desperate for some Hesher’s kisses.
(Combination candy and Joseph Gordon-Levitt joke!)
So, apparently this trailer is totally not legit?

Gabe you win the internet today for this: “Me so lovey diving-dumpsters!,” says Jar Jark Bonks.
