Despite what movies often try to tell us, being white is not that hard. It’s certainly not as hard as being just about ANYTHING ELSE in the world. But just because it’s not THAT hard doesn’t make it not a LITTLE hard! And if nothing else, I can definitely get behind this movie’s tagline: “Life’s a mess. We’re all just doing the best we can.” That’s basically the Videogum tagline. (Plus something thrown in about trampoline accidents, so the dumb-dumbs know what they’re looking at. HI DUMB-DUMBS!) One adult for Terri, please, Mrs. Fandango!

A few years ago I had a student in a 7 a.m. class. I’d heard he used to be a soldier in Afghanistan. He showed up for every class in his pajamas. He was older than most of the students and lived off-campus. He drove a motorcycle, so I guess he’d just roll out of bed and ride in straight in. I never saw him wear a coat, regardless of the weather. He always sat on the front row, his legs splayed. He never said much and never seemed to do any of the reading. He looked like a man for whom everything seemed impossibly trivial, particularly a Survey of American Literature course. He dropped out of college the next semester. I wonder if I could have been a John C. Reilly for him. I hope he’s doing all right.
Don’t worry, I’m okay.
We all need a John C. Reilly, I’m still looking for mine. Hey John C. Reilly, do you want to be my uncle?
i get kinda depressed when all the comments on a certain thread on videogum are so “tear downy” or “in-jokey”, but its comments like this that keep me coming back. no other place on the internet has people like werttrew.
you did alright buddy, im sure of it.
They had me at “From the Producers of Blue Valentine and Half Nelson.”
I watched Blue Valentine last night, thinking I was ready for the heartache hinted at in the trailer. I. was. not.
Me Before Blue Valentine: “This wont be that sad.”
Me After Blue Valentine: “WHYYYYY GOD!?! EVERYTHING HURTS!”
I can’t see the video, I’m at work; is it about an overweight girl in high school who has an abusive boyfriend? #canadiangum
I am Canadian but I don’t get this reference.

“I just ate a fly and need to spit it out. Why is the camera on me? Stop clapping.”
I would watch John C. Reilly act awkwardly around the phone book. I love him that much.
Also, Creed!
can we petition videogum to include the dilbert guy in this week’s “you get to make up the story” narrative? does that come out on fridays as well as the monster ball best comments round up?
It’s called You Can Make It Up. It’s right there on the right, dude. You don’t even need to leave the screen to find it.
You Can Make It Up: Steve Winwood Doesn’t Give a Care About the VIdeogum Daily Schedule
I can’t wait for the next round of “Gabe Reviews Movies That Are Very Bad”
I know. It’s bad enough he stopped putting out “How Is That Actor Who Played Eric Foreman Doing?”
I am very much looking forward to the next edition of Make Up a Crazy Comment About This Picture.
And don’t forget about Adolescent Alcove.
does anybody else think the dilbert guy trolling scandal would make for some funny grist for the old videogum fan fiction mill? go visit your precious “gawker” if you have not already checked out the story then come back here with your comment.
Team Winwood. This would be good to discuss.

Yes. Guy is a tool and deserves it all!
Steve, are you trying to tell us you’re really Harmony Korine?
Cryptoventriloquism.
They had me at Creed.
Did your arms open wide?
I can fully support Creed becoming a movie star, lets get the malt balls and GO!
His exclamation at making that b-ball shot warmed my heart! Going to see this for sure! #emotionsgum
I was excited to see the biopic that Teri Garr so richly deserves. But, am a little disappointed to see I was mislead. I’ll still go see this.
Alternate take #1:
I was excited to see the biopic that Terry Gilliam so richly deserves. But, am a little disappointed to see I was mislead. I’ll still go see this.
Alternate Take #2
I was excited to see the biopic that Terry Bradshaw so richly deserves. But, am a little disappointed to see I was mislead. I’ll still go see this.
Terry Hatcher circa Heavens Prisoners
I’m trying so hard not to make a Terri Schiavo joke.
This is my second favorite way to make an offensive joke without actually making it. My first favorite is to laugh to yourself, start to say something, then go “No, I can’t go there.” Then when people pressure you into saying it, you give a hesitant, abridged version.
That would be the saddest film ever made.
what about the terry nichols?
Here is all the Stuff White People Like I found in this trailer: coffee, film festivals, assists, diversity, making you feel bad for not going outside, Nonprofit organizations, tea, gifted children, hating your parents, awareness, wine, architecture, brunch, The New York Times, liberal arts degrees, vintage, dogs, kitchen gadgets, apologies, lawyers, bicycles, coed sports, bottles of water, indie music, modern furniture, soccer, bad memories of high school, t-shirts, shorts, dinner parties, beards, self-deprecating humor, integrity, high school english teachers, trying too hard, premium juice, plaid, acoustic covers, avoiding confrontation, following your dreams, eating outside, books, glasses, hardwood floors, bakeries and therapy.
Might as well list the things White People Don’t Like in this trailer:
overweight people
And a shit-ton of malt balls.
Come on. EVERYONE likes shorts.
But so many of those things are things that all people should like! Come on, non-white people! You should be better at liking good things!
Personally, I prefer We All Make Up Puns Based On Movie Titles
Nice work, replying.
This does not look Terri-ble or Terri-fic, just a good movie
And now I get a little braggy-gum: I’m going to see this in two days! It’s showing at the Nashville Film Festival (something white people like, according to Son of Gabe above), for anyone who didn’t know and lives in the area.
The kid’s actually not fat, his frame is just filled with quirks.
It took like 15 years, but Hollywood finally figured out how to remake Angus.
Check out the original on NETFLIX INSTANT. The day I saw that was the happiest day of my year.
The kid in the movie also directed it, neat!
He was very good in the TV show “Huge.” It’s nice seeing different types of people in movies once in a while.
i dont know, maybe im wrong, but pegging this as “dumb” because it is “white” seems a bit harsh. Or I guess not. I dont know. I’ll have to see it, the trailer has me interested. but confused.
ME AND MAHWKY MAHK ARE GONNA BE SEEIN THIS HEAH FILM, EVEN THOUGH IT DOES NAWT CONTAIN ANY REFRENCES TO BAWSTON OR THE SAWX. GO SAWX.
Go Sawx!
I couldn’t find a “Free Jed Lowrie” shirt, so you get this:
Cyrus much? I can’t believe I’m the first person to mention this on this talkback. You do NOT want to neglect Cyrus
i think this might be one of those movies that makes for an adorable trailer and not much else.
Piznarzki from “Huge” and CREED MOTHERFUCKING BRATTON? Sign me up right now.

You know what? Fuck you Hollywood. I am a fat ugly chick and I want to see a movie where the unattractive girl gets some hottie guy interested in her. I spend money too. This movie looks ridiculous. BOOOOO!
