Forgetting Sarah Marshall

*splat!*

Oh, By Odin's Great White Beard!!!!!!

If Rachel Bilson was in this with Kristen...I'd literally sit in the back and Blast Taft the entire time.

And then cut dirty looks at people who look at me disapprovingly.

This makes me wonder what you'd throw at the usher when he tries to escort you.

*plays silence of the lambs*

something like that i think.

I'm not sure. But I assume it'll be sticky.

 

[Langsta]

I'm getting kind of annoyed by all of these Apatow/Freaks and Geeks movies - Knocked Up, Superbad, Walk Hard, Drillbit Taylor, this, the upcoming Year One, You Don't Mess With the Zohan, Step Brothers, and the Pineapple Express....I feel overwhelmed with Apatow movies. And the actors' comedy style is the same in every movie. It's like the only comedies people know how to make nowadays are ultra-vulgar/offensive.

 

[Planet-man]

Langsta certainly has a point. This is why I only bother with the A-list Apatow-related flicks(Virgin, Knocked Up, Superbad, the upcoming Pineapple Express). The style stays fresh that way.

 

[ProjectX2]

I don't really care for the Apatow stuff at all.

Also, I would take Mila Kunis over Kristen Bell any day.

It would be a pretty close call for me.

 

[ProjectX2]

The sex wars scene is going to make Doom explode.

*djf is momentarily speechless*


FSM is almost as good as Knocked Up was. And, if any of you even remotely know me, or have been to the "Top 5 films of '07" thread anytime over the last year, then you know my feelings about Knocked Up.


Not only do I adore Jason Segel, but now I know he's a phenomenal writer, and I am actually really looking forward to the next Muppets movie (as he is the writer. srsly).

I honestly fail to see why it's not connecting with audiences.

Oh wait, now I remember. The penis.

It's not connecting because it's the same damn style of comedy that the last several movies Judd has made.

Seriously, they all are interchangeable, in my opinion anyways. You take normal people, add a strange occurrence, have the actors improvise throughout the whole movie, and BAM! Judd film gold.

I'm done.

I agree.

And I don't even like that style, so that makes it even less redeeming.

 

[Planet-man]

Houde's got it(as does that Cracked article, which I posted somewhere yesterday). Apatow movies just aren't "event" comedies anymore. You know what you're getting and it's all the same. I'm sure I'd laugh a lot if I saw this, but I wouldn't go out of my way to do so. It just doesn't look that funny.

Pineapple Express will be a draw because it looks fantastic in its own right, not because of the cheapened Apatow name-stamp(from the producer of Talledaga Nights and Walk Hard?). At any rate, I think Seth Rogen will have a far better career than Judd Apatow.

Me neither.

I agree here, Seth Rogan, I feel, can be a good actor. He needs to get away from the comedies though, and show us he can do more than that.

 

[Victor Von Doom]

That Apatow blog.....pretty funny.



But not as funny as challenging Hannah Montana to a bare-knuckle boxing match.

 

[Victor Von Doom]

I wasn't ready for it. I didn't know there'd be that. I mean I figured there's a heavy possibility for it. But when I saw it...I wasn't ready. I just wasn't.

And then they hit me again.

It just came outta nowhere.






Wow....






I really didn't need to see Jason Segel's penis. At all.








But overall, I thought it was hilarious. It really did show all the different stages on goes thru after a big break-up. And even hit the awkwardness it is when you see the ex out in public.

Segel's writing was brilliant. And now I totally want to see a full rock opera with puppets about Dracula. If I'm lucky, maybe that'll be a feature on the DVD.




4.5/5

Only because at one point it seemed to drag.











And Bell has never been hotter.
