The Joneses trailer, you guys:
Look, I haven’t gone to business school, and I know that I am mostly a very stupid person who up until college always misheard “windchill factor” as “windshield factor” and did not understand why the temperature of a windshield was important enough information to be broadcast on the radio, but even I know that a “rich family” in an expensive suburban subdivision doesn’t have the kind of REACH needed for them to be particularly effective as a marketing tool, thereby rendering the entire plot of this movie unbelievable and ridiculous. That being said, a MOVIE about a “rich family” in a make believe expensive suburban subdivision has JUST the kind of reach for the insert shots of Nokia phones and Under Armour shirts to be incredibly effective. So subversive! Fuck you! Yuck. And I love how this is going to be a love story? Because if there is one thing I am just dying to know, it is whether or not two skeezy fucking liars are ever going to do it.
I am downgrading this from a DO NOT BUY to a SELL!

Between Demi Moore and Kim Cattrall there’s enough re-animated tissue in this trailer to confuse it for a new fish-out-of-water Frankenstein Movie. I’m thinking “Meet the Steins”
This movie will be so effective in product placement that audiences will rush out from the theaters to buy hoards of yuck and suck!
Wow, this movie says so much about society and our obsession with material possessions and stuff and zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz…..
It’s ok, Gabe. In 5th grade my French teacher (who was Canadian, and a full grown adult) thought the phrase was “half fast.” She said it four or five times in class, which met with both horrified gasps (remember 5th grade), and furious giggles. It wasn’t until years later that someone finally clued her in that it was “half assed.” That was a simpler time.
I used to think the “fl. oz.” on soda bottles, etc meant “flavor ounces.”
I thought that the Superbowl was the SuperBOWEL. And I knew what bowel meant! Whatevz, childhood.
It’s time for another round of #monsterconfessions.
Even though I knew I wanted to be a businessman forever, I spelled buisness wrong until high school. How embarrassing! #monsterconfessions
I thought it was “full ounces,” and I still read it that way in my head.
I still don’t know what “fl. oz” means.
Sad face forever.
Google time!
i know this is totally pointless, but it means fluid ounces.
Mr. T thought it was “Fool! Ounces!”
I thought it was “floral ounces”, even though that doesn’t make sense, and I also still read it that way in my head, for fun (I make my own fun).
I always misheard “foolproof” as “full-proof” and apparently never read the word until about the age of 30, when I discovered that I was an idiot.
For the longest time, anytime I read the word “misshapen” I pronounced it “miss-happen”. Both in my head AND aloud! Soooo embarrassing when I finally found out. Now that I think about it, I have no idea what “miss-happen” could have possibly meant and I am wondering why I didn’t figure that out sooner. Oh, well!
Confession: When I just read your comment, I read “misshapen” as miss-happen… until I read on and felt even dumber… I’d like to think I would have figured it out by re-reading if you’d used misshapen in it’s intended context in a general comment…but feel better–We are both dummies!! yay!
I always thought that “End’s Meet” was a a type of really cheap and easy to make meat, since I have only heard in a sentence like “Working hard just to make ends meet”.
When I was 10, I had a friend at camp tell me her address at home was on Burr Oak St. I thought she was an idiot, because clearly she was mistaken and lived on Baroque St.
Suuuuch an asshole.
I feel uncomfortable talking (typing?) about my most embarrassing vocabulary mis-hear. Let’s just say it involves a Pepperidge Farm cookie that is both light and dark in color and a moment in my senior year of high school where I read the word “mulatto” in a sociology text and went “OHHHHH.”
It’s been over a decade, and it still makes me facepalm.
Skeezy HOT liars, Gabe. Demi Moore and David Duchovny… They’re SO hot right now.
This is kind of a weird thing to notice, but isn’t wonderful that, after all these years, computer software in movies still looks like this?

Oh God. Massive amounts of fail. Where the hell is the preview button on this contraption?
*ahem* Isn’t it wonderful how software in movies still looks like this?
That’s your new iPad app. Comes complete with Employee I.D.s (because names suck) and three digit cell numbers.
Do my eyes deceive me, or is a Real Housewife of Atlanta in one of the party shots?
Yep, this horrible movie was filmed here in Atlanta. (As well as Katherine Heigl’s next movie. And all Tyler Perry shit. I feel like I should apologize to the world on Atlanta’s behalf.)
On the plus side, this movie has Krazee-Eyez Killa.
So this movie is basically just like all of our lives. Shit being sold to us and we don’t even realize it is being sold to us, by fake people (who are probably private shitbags). How Meta.
Oh, and in a not so subtle (smirking at ourselves because of our AWESOME IDEA) way they went ahead and sold ad rights to under armor and nokia and BLECH
Because the windshield is on the outside of the car, and when you are speeding down the road of life, it is getting the brunt of all cold and weather. Is how I thought it got it’s name. When I thought that’s what it was. When I was 23. What’s a Wind-shill?
A zeitgeist film? Woo! I’m so there! Zeitgeist, y’all!
Yes! There is just not enough zeitgeist in films these days.
That’s why I say, make muscles, not money. Try it, with my new workout, P90X. Guaranteed.
1999 called and it wants its cinematic zeitgeist back.
Unless the cinematic zeitgeist is 10 years behind the New Yorker fiction zeitgeist! Hey Jeb, it’s your IRL friend Genie, making you dorky by association.
David Duchovny has to pay for his porn rehab somehow, which is also totally normal and something all of us go through
I imagine him filming Californication must be a bit difficult (is that show still on?)
Man, you know when you work for a discrete subliminal advertising firm and have to pretend like your boss is your wife but then you fall in love with your boss who is only your fake wife and you now have to convince her to love you for real and forever and always? Yeah, me too, life’s tough.
Bart’s teacher’s name is Krabappel? I’ve been calling her Crandall! Why didn’t somebody tell me?
Even with the description and everything I had a hard time believing this was an actual trailer for an actual movie.
Basically this same concept was done in a more entertaining (and less smug and sickening) way in Josie and the Pussycats, IMO.
Which is pretty much the best movie.
This looks like it’s in that genre of “stupid unfunny ‘satire of the way we live’” that made the Stepford Wives inhabits.
In any case, I can’t wait for Coupon The Movie, you guys.
That should read “that the stepford wives inhabits”. Ack!
if demi moore drops the top and shines the headlights we’re in for a good ride.
