I am always looking for new and different ways to waste time online. My recent favorite time-waster is Will Ferrell run comedy site, FunnyorDie.com. Ferrell along with Adam McKay started the site because “they had nothing better to do.” Videos posted are made by Ferrell and McKay along with user submitted clips. You may have seen the classic “The Landlord” which features McKay’s 2 year old daughter Pearl as a disgruntled landlord verbally abusing Will Ferrell.
The men behind FunnyorDie made my week today when they announced that Judd Apatow would be jumping on board to help create videos. Oh the sheer joy that ran through me when I heard this. I’m the girl who has seen”The 40 Year old virgin” more times than I can count, and I have enormous crush on Seth Rogan in all his hairy dorkdom. Word is Rogan will be making a few appearances in Apatow directed clips.
We all fall in love with the dorky character. Usually the Hollywood “dorks” are along the looks line of Adam Brody or Penn Badgley (who, FYI, is playing another nerdy persona as Dan Humphrey in Gossip Girl this fall).
If all the nerdy guys looked like that, you’d be hard pressed to find a dork without a leading lady.
Although the “unlikely” character always gets the girl in the movies, its usually not so in real life. And it’s these unlikely Hollywood celebs that have made an unlikely impression on the general public: people think they’re sexy.
Seth Rogen is the one on the list that is really a no-brainer. He was the chubby awkward pothead in Knocked Up that made Katherine Heigl, and America, love him. So of course he would make the Most Unlikely to Be Sexy list.
And if you saw him in Judd Apatow’s two other films, 40 year Old Virgin and Superbad, then you loved him before Knocked Up and you certainly love him after.
The other on the list is Tina Fey—smart, funny and HOT. Come to think of it, shouldn’t she be on the most likely sex symbol list?? Read More »
Walk Hard is upcoming Judd Apatow comedy film expected to be released in December of 2007. The movie will star John C. Reilly as famous musician Dewey Cox and Jenna Fischer as his wife Darlene. The movie will be a parody of musician biopics like Ray and Walk the Line.
And lately, who doesn’t? Girls are going nuts over this guy!
The only other thing y’all would have really seen him in was as the awkward, nervous and hilarious George-Michael Bluth in Arrested Development, but now that Superbad is a hit, he’s gonna be everywhere.
His character in Superbad, Evan, is adorably dorky yet totally likable. In my opinion, he completely makes the movie. All of his lines are funny, and he delivers them awesomely. He’s got that shy confidence that could easily pull Becca, his on-screen crush, in real life, if he wanted to.
Radar has a great interview with the 19-year-old Canadian cutie you can check out here, where he talks about using game on the ladies and living with the ‘rents. Read More »
Going to the movies now just makes me upset. I don’t know how it is around where you guys live, but movie tickets near me– $10.00! That seems like a lot of money to go see what normally ends up being a pretty mediocre show. So I don’t go to the movies that much anymore. I wait for DVD, or I hope that showstash.com has something on there that’s just been released to watch online.
But I sucked it up the other day, and went to see Knocked Up. I must say, that’s like the funniest movie I’ve seen since, well… 40 Year Old Virgin. I don’t think I stopped laughing— nor did the rest of the theatre—for the entire movie. I could have sat there and watched Seth Rogen for another hour. By the end of it, I was slightly in love with him, and his stoner, weirdo friends. I now also want Leslie Mann (the drunk, vomiter in 40 Year Old Virgin with a much bigger and funnier part in this) to be my best friend. She’s freaking hilarious!
So I was a little upset to read last week that writer Judd Apatow is being sued for ripping the whole thing off. Turns out Canadian writer Rebecca Eckler wrote a startlingly similar book a few years back. In Eckler’s 2004 book titled Knocked Up, an up-and-coming journalist gets pregnant after getting drunk at her engagement party. OK, Katie Heigl is a journalist too, but she’s not engaged…. Read More »
