Harold Trailer Starring Spencer Breslin and Cuba Gooding Jr.
You know, when I first read about this quirky independent comedy featuring a 14 year old kid who is going bald, my initial thought was “Male pattern baldness is no joke!”. But after watching the trailer, I gotta say it actually might be kind of funny. Oh sure, it co-stars Cuba Gooding Jr., which is never a good sign. And yeah, the trailer itself seems pretty budget. But there’s something about Spencer Breslin’s performance (brother of Abigail) that actually seems kind of endearing. What can I say, maybe I just identify with the kid.
The off-kilter cast also includes 80’s hottie Ally Sheedy, Nikki Blonsky (Hairspray), Chris Parnell and Fred Willard. Director and co-writer T. Sean Shannon was a former scribe for Saturday Night Live and In Living Color. Harold hits select theatres on July 11th. Check out the trailer below and remember: bald is beautiful, my friends… bald is beautiful.

Hehehehe…Sean is bald.
Dude….I’m telling you….just Bic the rest off. It’ll look good.
Posted by Greg on July 8th, 2008Yeah dude, once the hair starts to go you gotta bic it.
Posted by Rusty James on July 8th, 2008Yeah I probably will. But then it becomes high maintenance. And very shiny.
Posted by Sean on July 8th, 2008hahaha bald shiny head, hats are the best solution year round…i wonder what the youngest real life case of baldness is? I know soebody who started going bald at the age of sixteen, and my friends and i made fun of him, but always behind his back so his feelings wouldn’t get hurt
Posted by fizzle on July 8th, 2008Sean you need to cash in on the Karl Pilkington craze. Make it your goal to be mistaken for him on the street! Have Jay squeeze that head on the podcast, in honor of the new series. Please?
Posted by Henrik on July 8th, 2008The only problem is that Reed Farrington is supposed to be our Karl Pilkington.
Posted by Sean on July 8th, 2008Well if certain people could get their certain bodyparts into gear and record another episode of a certain podcast, I would want some headsqueezing to go on there.
I am serious though. I would love to hear a headsqueeze on the podcast. LOVE.
Posted by Henrik on July 8th, 2008What you gotta do is bic the dome and then grow some gnarly facial hair.
Posted by Rusty James on July 8th, 2008And then don’t take shit from anyone.
Posted by Rusty James on July 8th, 2008As for it being high maintenance, that’s why you get the wife to do it.
Posted by Rusty James on July 8th, 2008Rusty is on to something. Sean…with a little work, you could look like a badass..just like me. Except I have a full head of hair.
Does the name ‘Stone Cold’ Sean Dwyer sound as awesome to you as it does to me?? Maybe ‘Luke Warm’ Sean Dwyer. Still…it’ll be badass.

Powder it. Just tell Greg and Jay that they gargle semen if they try to hate. Besides, a bald man looks good or bad. The bad balds look old and/or alien like. The good balds look tough (Bruce Willis) and/or intellectual(Moby). You look like a good intellectual bald from what I see in the video podcasts.
If I don’t have anything good to say (about someone’s appearance) then I don’t say anything at all. Anyways, bic it brother; side hair looks worse than no hair no matter what kind of bald you are.

sean, don’t listen to this cock sucker. Shave the dome and then punch Jay in the face next time he calls you an idiot.
Posted by Rusty James on July 9th, 2008Anyway. As entertaining as a discussion about baldness is, I have nothing top add. As far as the movie goes, however, this trailer reminded me a lot of The 40-Year Old Virgin. Except in that a grown man has teenage problems like not being able to get laid, and having a huge doll collection. While in this movie a teenager is having adulty problems like make pattern baldness and not being able to get laid.
Posted by Matt on July 9th, 2008Ryan, I probably shouldn’tve called you a cocksucker last night. Sorry about that.
Sean, you probably should punch Jay in the face.
Posted by Rusty James on July 9th, 2008I think Jay would look tough bald and with facial hair. Just put that image in your head and you’ll see why.

They’re not dolls…they’re ACTION FIGURES!!!!
