Ben Stiller Does Nothing

"Life is wasted on people."

What a great line. Ben Stiller hasn't done much recently to catch my attention. In fact, I've tried to avoid every film he's been in since "Zoolander". However, this new indie flick from the director of "The Squid And The Whale" Noah Baumbach looks pretty damn good.

Its slow and impassive...but then again, so is the time we're living in. I feel oddly settled after watching the trailer (I feel the same after reading The Catcher In The Rye) but for unknown reasons. Perhaps the premise of the film hits home: average guy leaves New York City and moves to Los Angeles in order to "do nothing" and hopefully find himself.

Check out the trailer for "Greenberg" yourself:
