  • it made me think how people can be so fucked up in this world known as the internet, IT'S SICK, MENIACAL AND Distgusting.

  • this was propper nuts, scary shit i thought, can anyone send me the clip of when it shows what hes typing to her when he starts to flip and gets angry at her

  • It's by Eric Satie, "Gymnopedies" - classic song, glad you liked it.

  • somebody please tell me the song/sympathy im looking for, please

  • creepy story was fun watching it

  • That woman seriously needs to be locked up

  • i get that the woman wasn't a moral person but lbr, being a shitty person isn't a crime. she didn't do anything illegal, and the dudes she toyed with were mentally unstable. it's stupid that their actions are blames on the woman when in actual fact, if they're that easily 'manipulated' or get that obsessive then they already had issues.

  • @dimransee not a crime? Im sorry but i do think its a bit of a crime sending pictures of your own child in bikinis, short skirts etc. to random guys across the internet.

  • @xSmile4Lifex it's bad, don't get me wrong but in the end the dudes are responsible for their own actions - she can't be held accountable for what they did.

  • @dimransee Yeah i agree with their own actions cant be blamed on her but i think she is worse than shitty person and is pretty sick. She didnt even say sorry or seem to feel any remorse to having a part of another guys death

  • horrid !

  • silly trailer 

  • Just watched this, seriously messed up. I would like to know the name of the piano symphony that was used a few times ??

  • @chombrad It's Erik Satie, "Gymnopedies"

  • @talhotblond

    PLEASE tell me the name of the song used on the ending credits.

  • fucked up

  • I am in shock, I can't believe what I have just watched

  • Further to my last comment: Has this female absolutely no conscience whatsoever?! She wants to write a fricking book! It's just a pity that she hasn't faced any charges.No,so she didn't kill young Barrett,but she damn well instigated this tragic event by her own selfish 'needs'. I hope she never gets her damn book published,but I suspect some sleazy publisher will take it on.That she can make money from this is just rubbing salt in the Barrett family's wounds.

  • @popazz1 You just said everything I wanted to.... But what an amazing film, very upsetting and weird at the same time but still very very interesting. It just goes to show the internet/world is full of fucked up people... More people need to see this without a doubt.

  • @cjcjx1 ,

    Yes,it was amazing,& it made for uncomfortable viewing,especially as it involved the internet,a medium we ALL hide behind at some point.I can't think of any other technology which is used to cause so much hurt and anger and intolerance.Yet the same technology has proven to be a most useful tool for education and entertainment. 'Talhotblonde' simply showed us what we usually conveniently forget,that it can be a means for evil acts.Shieler is a classic example of this.

  • It's in the last 10 minutes right now on C4 on UK tv & it's jaw-droppingly scarey stuff.It's difficult to not judge the mother who,to a major degree,set this tragedy in motion.To use her own daughter's identity to enact her fantasy is plain sick.It doesn't matter a bit how pathetic her life was as she perceived it.What she did was beyond reprehensible.Now,at the end of this fascinating docu-drama we're told Shieler wants to 'write a book about the dangers of the internet'! OMG,is she for real?!

  • That was messed up

  • it's a true story - it gets crazier...

  • IS THIS REAL?? ITS ON CHANNEL 4 NOW IN ENGLAND AND SO FAR IT SEEMS PROPER FUCKED UP

  • I'm about to watch this on channel 4, please don't say it's scary!

  • Can Sum1 Just Sum It Up 4 Me

  • What is a Vixen?

  • @Edwin4500

    vixen:

    A female fox; an attractive woman, especially one espousing cleverness (like a fox); an overtly sexual lass; a femme fatale; a powerful broad.

  • @coololdpeople Thanks! 

  • As much as we would like to kill or inprison mary. She really didn't do anything that was unlawful. She lied, (big time) but never did she try to bring about bloodshed. The prison system is full of men who have acted foolishly as a result of being strung along by a woman. The only real victum was the your man who died. We know the whole story. He died not knowing the girl he wanted was imaginary.

  • this story is epic but very sad

    i never had a such a big OMG WTF reaction

  • If Dexter existed, I would most certainly expect him to pay Mary Shieler a visit. She deserves to rot in hell.

  • I just watch this story on 20/20, the man (montgomery) who killed Brian Barrett should have gotten life... I can't believe that he would actually killed someone (over someone he had never even met !) Now the only part I have a bit of trouble with is Mary (the woman who lied about being a tallhotblonde) in 20/20 they seem to want her charged or held accountable, but if she was really the young girl in the picture - would it be the same ?

  • Mary is such a piece of shit. She should be in jail for what she did.

  • Alguien sabe si está disponible con subtitulos en español. Gracias

  • his documentary is way better then catfish and this is a true story such a shame that mom is not in jail

  • having seen this film, and more recently viewing "catfish" - i'm offended at the latter film's lack of sensitivity to the truths of such 'catfish' as depicted in Talhotblond, not to mention the cheap and shameless marketing and deplorable closing 'message'. If anybody reading this has heard of Catfish - AVOID - it's Talhotblond, only the poorly assembled fiction version.

  • @beansaregood thanks for that! the team from talhotblond

  • @beansaregood While I agree that Talhotblond is a excellent film, and eary cautionary story of how sad and tangled up people can become. I think it's unfair of you to tear Catfish apart. I don't know the full legitimacy of the film and im not sure anyone will. But it is also a great cautionary tale that also shows how sad the lives of these kinds of people can be. And what drives them to do what they do. Take into account the message of Catfish. Like I said Talhotblond is an amazing documentary,

  • @TinFins2021 - I really think both of them show poor taste, but that Catfish crosses the line. You don't know the full legitimacy of 'Catfish'- here you go- it's as real as Cloverfield. You think it's a cautionary tale, yet you still empathize with the exact kind of character that we see in Talhotblonde - someone capable/responsible for a pointless murder. I get that Catfish could have a message- but, because the filmmakers are selfish untalented liars themselves, morality is lost.

  • @beansaregood i saw the trailer for catfish today and immediately thought of talhotblond

  • having seen this film, and more recently viewing "catfish" - i'm offended at the latter film's lack of sensitivity to the truths of such 'catfish' as depicted in Talhotblond, not to mention the cheap and shameless marketing and deplorable closing 'message'.

  • I blame the people before I blame the internet. The web is just a tool, and like any tool, in the wrong hands it can do harm. The people involevd here were genuinely sick and using the web as a means of escaping their real lives-an addiction every bit as powerful as drugs or alcohol. A healthy person uses the web to communicate and entertain. The sad truth is there are some sick people out there, and that is why you do have to be on gaurd for them.

  • On MSNBC philly area the other night. Sad story. The internet is amazing but also can be disturbing when used for fantasy.

  • havent seen this yet .am gonna today but i have a feeing this trailer gave away the ending.sweet emotions comes to mind.(aerosmith video)

  • @MofoNsh not at all. You might think you know the ending, but there is a complete twist. Watch it, it'll make you a lot more aware of whats going on on the internet. I mean it creeped the living shit out of me.

  • @EthioArsonist like i said kid ,sweet emotions video.how could u do that to ur child was mentioned in the trailer. pay attention i did.u see stories tend to follow a traditional structure.i started in grade school reading urban legends.ive heard them all .but thanks for your concern.

  • @MofoNsh lmao alright buddy

  • @EthioArsonist im sry i was condecening to you.

  • @MofoNsh im not in the least bit offended. 

  • i cant believe that something like that is possible, i saw it on TV. Please how can something like that possible? married people with children? oh my goodness.

  • You may think you are clever enough to sense it when someone on the internet is lying, but in fact you NEVER know. Ages ago I was chatting with somene for two years, who I believed was a 34 year old deputy and who turned out being a 60 year old retired police officer with four kids who was just bored and frustrated like heck. There was no love or sex in the game, but something I thought what was a really good friendship. That was just so sick.

  • I saw the documentary on MSNBC last night for the first time. It was absolutely chilling and very well done.

  • @hanoc101 thanks! please check out our petition at our website talhotblond . com

  • Watched the documentary, The turnout was HILARIOUS. I imagined his reaction, i was like good this fuck head learned fucking something. I would beat this fucker to death. But i am not gunna lie, no matter what internet dating was still pretty pathetic

  • @imPuLs1v3 HAHA SAME IT WAS FUCKIN CRAZY FUNNY

  • i'm so glad that i saw this before i decided to go watch "catfish". i saw the trailer, even though other people who'd seen the movie advised against it. good thing i did. saved me from coughing up $10 from an unoriginal POS.

    talhotblond FTW!

  • @RottenAppleSeeds yeah catfish was absolute shit. Have you watched it yet?

  • Hey, this is that movie Catfish, only GOOD. Oh yeah, and REAL.

    Fuck Catfish.

  • This woman was an Aid at my middle school, her husband was my Baseball Coach when I was a kid. I havent seen the 20/20 thing or this and it's some crazy shit i'm going to look up 

  • this movie was amazing...

  • @OpTicZoomPS3 agreed, the twist sent shivers down my spine...i can't stop thinking about this brilliant doco.

  • @OpTicZoomPS3 how can it be amazing , this story is so fucked up and how they both had mental problems..

  • Just watched this yesterday and I know it'll stick with me for some time. Proof that the most chilling crimes are the ones that happen in real life.

  • the twist is so epic. I won't ruin it but the movie was definitely worth the watch. The internet really is a vile place

  • This documentary was something else.... Well done... it captured my attention 199%...I am still shocked loll

  • just watched this documentry kind of sad just shows how sick ppl can be on the internet n getting manipulated so easy from all angles feel sorry for brian who got caught in the middle of two middle aged attention seekers who lied cause there life was shitty n ended up costing a life in the end n the shiela who is 46 (aka 18 year old jess ) shows no fukin remorse for wa she did !

  • Whoa...just watched the dvd. Amazing! I was shocked right at the part....well, those of you who saw it know what I mean.

  • I just finished watching it... waow i loved it but the story is really f*cked up i mean what kind of mother does that?!?! i hope jessi goes on with her life with happiness :) :) my love goes to Brians family :) :)

    R.I.P

    Brian Barrett

  • What is it about exactly? It reminded me of 'hard candy' when I saw the trailer, but it gives me the idea that it's the girl that is the evil one...? I want to see it, but I don't think it will be in theatres in Belgium...

  • think real life hard candy with a twist. talhotblond is available right now on iTunes and amazon, coming out on VOD and netflix soon!

  • Can someone tell me what this story is about? What happend? I dont mind spoiling.

    RIP to anyone that died

  • the guy who posed as a marine actually posed as a 21 year old, hollywood vamping once again

  • @eric89023 didnt he say he posed as an 18 yr old in the movie?

  • this reminds me of my self on both ends other then the lieing about age

  • So i'm assuming this is based on real life events and not a mockumentary. I would be really interested to see this. It reminds me a bit of Hard Candy.

  • yes, it's a true story...sadly.

  • never date online... lonly ppl need a better "source" its just sad

  • Would love to see this film. But I'm in Norway, so i guess I'm screwed.

    Sidenote, this trailer is beautiful!

  • can you access amazon? Apple TV? we had the film at IDFA, and Paramount is selling it overseas..please join our fanpage at facebook or our twitter and we'll keep everyone updated as to distribution progress. thanks for the comment!!

  • whats the airdate?

  • not sure, they haven't put it on the schedule yet. Apple Tv, amazon, iTunes, etc. have the r rated directors cut now.

    we'll tweet and post on facebook (talhotblond) as soon as we get info...

  • i went to high school with this girl and i know her mother

  • did you see the movie? would love to hear what you think after knowing them.. r rated version on iTunes and Amazon, will be airing later this month or early next on MSNBC (pg)

  • @talhotblond nah i havent seen it, i dont really wanna buy it do to money issues but yeah i went to high school with her and everything... i heard about the story a while back but i never knew it had reached this status....

  • what was her mom like?? I just can't get over how sick and twisted she is...she should be in prison with Montgomery...I feel she is more responsible than he is. RIP Brian Barrett

  • Dude disrepected the Corp and I hope he runs into a real former Marine in the joint.

  • ohkay so brian barretts younger brother richard is one of my best friends, and each year it gets harder and harder for him to deal with. the barrett family has to be one of the nicest families i know and it just sucks to see them go through this everyday. its not fair that bad things always happen to good people! i love you richard and the barrett family<3

  • is this online?

    newhere?

  • the r- rated long version is avail on iTunes and Amazon. DVD will come out early Jan. follow twitter/talhotblond if you want and we'll post when it comes out.

  • You can download the movie in it's entirety from Appletv, you will NOT believe the outcome! Vile...

  • why would that dumb fukin man shoot that kid for a girl he has never met? why would a cute waste her time online all the time with a old ass man...ppl r soo dumb

  • I saw it last night. I've been their but not like this. Txt'n can be fun, but boy; what a shock that dude and (I) got at the end of that story! You got to see this. I promise you will walk away second guessing some of your txt buddies.

  • Knowing this family personally and having went to school with Jessi and her brother for so many years this is really, just...shocking to hear about and watch this. To think, I used to visit that house.

  • What a compelling story,

    it just goes to show how the internet and the malicious people behind it can ruin lives.

    5*

  • yeah, they did talk on the phone, it's early on in the documentary, says "they talked late at night, when "Tommy" was supposedly off duty. She really believed he was 18. Montgomery couldn't believe his luck"

  • i was mistaken. my apologies.

    don't spoil it for those who haven't seen it yet though...

  • Crazy man, i seen this last night on MSNBC. Just goes to show u. You cant trust anyone u meet on the net until u meet them in person. But im amazed they never even talked to her on the phone. If they did that they would have known she lied.

  • i thought marinesniper and talhotblonde would talk on the phone at times, that's why he was astounded how she still hadn't caught on....maybe i misheard that part?

    anyways, one of the best documentaries i've seen, and the climax blew my mind. everything was infront of me, but it still caught me off guard.

  • The best documentary I've ever seen.

    "There's something addicting about a secret." - J. Edgar Hoover

  • Its messed up. Its not a movie... It was true... I know the person that it happened too. My brother is friends with Brians brother. And yes, Sean it is a story about that.

  • It was pretty good. I thought it sent a great message to all those lonely desperate people in the world who escape the reality of their family life by talking to some hot young thing on the net, Ironic - Poetic & Cruel Justice

  • Accept for the fact that the guy who was actually handsome and young was killed. That bugged me. But the other people deserved to lose their families and go to prison.

  • The twist towards the end of this story was almost as good as the Sixth Sense.

  • Google is Lame

  • I don't get it.. Is this a story about some twisted bitch playing mind games online? And then somebody gets killed because of it?

  • Even better than that - that is just what you think happens.......

  • Just watched this too....had me on the edge of my seat...damn.

  • just watched it. what a fucked up movie.

  • I just saw this. This is a messed up story, let me tell you.

  • wow, really? wow. What's the world coming to. I'm going to watch this!
