    It comes across as more of an homage than parody me thinks.

    While this is probably a dis at the expense of the Duplass Brothers, I'm still going to say it: FINALLY someone has put into cinematic form exactly how this Austinite feels about SXSW.


    Viva la Austin Film Fest.


    P.S. SXSW wishes they had a best screenplay category.

    I want to spend the rest of my life with the people who made this because this is what my brain does when I see all those stupid, twee, ''mumblecore'', whateverthefuck excuses for a film about why some guy is impotent or why some girl won't leave her apartment.

    gah, i am certain any Chadian person would love to have the "accommodations" he just showed us versus a refugee camp tent where they likely shit in a hole likely without the luxury of a bucket of water


    a-listers going over to Africa with a news crew showing them kick around a soccer ball with a bunch of kids is the ultimate in self-importance, what the fuck is he really doing to help over there? they certainly don't know who he is, and while we all do, all in all he's a freaking actor. whee.

    @lobstr: I do agree most of the time with what you're saying (especially the habitual child collectors) but if Idriss Deby were on TV pleading for help in Chad I don't think most of us would even bother listening.


    I'm not saying Clooney is going to save the world but if more people pay attention because of him than I really don't see any problem with it.

    @lobstr: the main thing the a-listers do when they go to chad is promote the notion that places called chad exist, which is a big head start on a lot of people

    @RealTomatoKetchup: There's an argument---mind you, I don't know how much truth is in it b/c it would be difficult to measure---that celebrities do more damage than good or have no affect whatsoever for places like Chad. The reasoning goes something like this: "Clooney tells you something bad is happening in Chad so now you know. Now what? Well, Clooney is over there taking care of things so what more can you do? Do nothing & feel better that something is being done...and then people who would "bother listening" on their own are turned off by celebrity culture & would focus on another cause & so on..." I think this view is perhaps a bit cynical but I don't imagine Clooney will have much impact on the situation in Chad. If he wants to crap in a bucket, let him, but I won't congratulate him for it. Now, when he donates the total profit from just one movie he makes to a worthy cause that will be a different story.

    @once: nail-on-the-head. The clip illustrates somewhat of an "I'm a freakin Celebrity, can you BELIEVE I am over here actually shitting in a bucket when I am used to my platinum-plated bidee with direct line to Julia Roberts?? I'm roughing it, let's have some applause! feel..


    And, while we are reminded there is much strife in the world, and considerable amounts in these poorest of nations, I just don't understand what seeing Clooney over there is exactly going to accomplish? Ok, so he'll make a lot of the middle-america Oprah-watchers swoon, but are these people all of a sudden going to start sending in checks to the Chadanian government? Doesn't the US Government already send hundreds of millions of dollars to Africa for aid of all sorts? Clearly he wants to be seen as a hero of sorts, but the mugging for the camera shit as seen here somewhat mocks the sincerity of his mission

    Constantly calling Moby "annoying" is getting annoying. I think he's a very genuine, unpretentious musician, and, yes, I like his music.

    It must be nice to be entirely without self-awareness, and to have no friends who will tell you when you are making an ass of yourself.
    You can get away with so much annoying garbage.

    I'm just confused. Is that supposed to be....funny? Is that what they were going for? It would seem so but simple logic is telling me that a normal functioning adult would not find that funny. so????
