trailer break: ‘Greenberg’

Rich white boy angst! I mean, the Ben Stiller character has gotta be rich if he can afford to do nothing for a while, right? What a luxury!

So far, the most interesting this about this movie is the kerfluffle over New York Press critic Armond White, who may or may not have been banned from a screening of this film because he may or may not have once said that filmmaker Noah Baumbach should have been aborted. (Which White did, in fact, write in a review, though it’s open to debate how seriously that should be taken.) And the anonymous email from someone who claims to be a critic (but doesn’t have the balls to identify himself) demanding that all critics boycott Focus Features as a result of White’s banning. A banning that has since been rescinded.

Just another flareup in the ongoing battle between film critics and the world.

Greenberg opens in New York and Los Angeles on March 19, and limited in the U.S. and Canada on March 26; no U.K. release date has been announced.
