Feb 10 2009'45365' Like '90210' but with a Miniature Woman Instead of Luke Perry

Ummm what? That kid is freaking me out man!

You forgot to say that this is a complete waste of time

beautiful....

this sucked so hard i had to grab my chair to keep from being pulled into the monitor

WHAT THE FUCK?
So umm this town is like every other fucking small town in the US... Why do we even care. To be honest it looked better than the small town I grew up. Bill Ross needs a kick in the balls and all his money taken away... Hmmm gives me an idea for a Documentary...

@5-this is obviously made for the NYC and LA. they think of the mid plains as uneducated white trash. so this is like their window, and they get freaked out by people racing pigs, and having a barbecue with meat. and so on and so on.

look how simple this folk are.

Am I looking at a little boy who tried to eat a raw pumpkin there? Is that what... is that what we're looking at? Did he take Bunnicula a little too seriously?

Oh, it's life-affirming. ! Is that a Sufjan Stevens song? Is this a sequel to 'Gummo?' Y'know, all terrible and boring in a typical sequel way?

I hope they got dick cheney for that quail hunting scene... he's good at shooting guys in the face

Alright. I live in Austin, and will be attending South By Southwest, (SXSW), and I believe I will Follow #5's Idea, and indeed kick Bill Ross in the nuts. As for taking his money, every other film at South By will make sure that happens.

I would live there over LA any day.

I'm thinking that this isn't as exploitive as everyone seems to be making out; based on the variety of images and scenes portrayed in the trailer, and the amount of time spent in the town by the director, I'd think it was more about presenting a small community, warts and all. Whether or not this will be interesting to anyone is another question.

Any reason why we needed a documentary about mundane white trash? Aside from allowing the aforementioned LA/NY crowd to pretend they're at the zoo? Fuck this.

I watched that and thought, "is this supposed to be quaint?"

Just looked like everyday life to me - but then again I'm one of those quaint Ohioans so I guess I wouldn't know!

to be honest, from that screencap i was looking forward to a child zombie movie.

yo 13: there already is a documentary on white trash - it's called American Meth

And?

I live in LA, and used to live in Ohio. This trailer made me miss what I used to have. True true that this is for the LA/NY crowd as the daily shyte we look at and live with is disgusting. You want to talk white trash... take a walk around the 3rd street promenade in Santa Monica, or anywhere in Santa Monica for that matter. White Trash, Black Trash, Latin Trash, Asian Trash, Indian Trash. If that trailer showed white trash, then they are the cleanest trash I have ever seen.

@18

Win.

Frum the disgusting Port Authority Bus Terminal, NYC

Did anyone catch the skipping football players? If not, don't hurt yourself watching the clip again, just trust me - they were skipping. And it was quirky. And kooky. Or was supposed to be, I think. [though I'm pretty sure that a skipping football player anywhere else would get his ass kicked]

So I read all the comments first and thought, "This can't be that bad?"
and thought #5 might be a bit harsh...
Well I was wrong.
#5 I would love to be camera man for you. :)

holy freaking crap. THIS LOOKS LIKE THE GREATEST MOVIE EVAR! And if you couldn't tell I was being sarcastic, IT'S TIME FOR SOME BALL SACKIN!

I kept waiting for someone to blow up or something.

I was dissappointed.

But maybe that shows there's something wrong with ME, not the movie? Is it healthy for me to expect zombies and/or karate in every movie?

So this is Gummo revisited but way less disturbing. Needs more dead cats!

This looks gorgeous. I think you might have posted this trailer the wrong audience ;)

It's not about patronizing the simple folk, but taking the reality of this town (could be any place that inspired the filmmaker) and finding the poetry in it.

And yes, you might find it boring.

You forgot to mention that aside from from demolition derbies, pig races and the 29 inch woman, this town also has a BLACK GUY! It's true, there is one, check 1:39.

@ Pox (#25)
Just cause it rhymes, does not make it a great work of Poetry.

I watched the trailer and all it seems to convey is, Look, I have a camcorder, I-movie, and 9 months of free time to make nothing out of nothing. Its just some footage of a small town that has as much "magic" as the next. Now slap a title on it called "No Mans-Land, This could be your town" and show how American Small towns all look the same, yadda yadda... then we might have something.
But for now this is nothing more than some boring clips that you can see any where on the internet under small town America.

Yep, not a city....I HATE when people label anything under 100,000 people a city....THAT was obviously a town......now, AUSTIN is a city.....tall buildings, people, etc.......CITY..........farmland, racing pigs, 1 high school......TOWN.

There are 4 high schools in Sidney. Just sayin'...

Ya know, I am from sidney ohio. We don't have much there (I went into the army because the town was so boring) but the film really offers a scene not so much of a typical small town in middle america. But a town which functions more as a family. To go into my thoughts in that regard would be cumbersome and tiring.

Then town has 2 high schools not 4 one of which is a "private" high school. mainly set up for the more...catholic bunch. Other than that, the facets which keep the town interesting are th very basis of what keeps it alive. And even if some find that dull, to others, it helps throw this town into sharp focus.
