fsm was great

Is Get Him to the Greek any good? figure I'll rent it

eh so-so

i didnt like the bad accents jokes but this was pleasant i guess

def prefer role models & adventureland

and fsm

what's the point of comparison w/ Adventureland?

same reason it was compared numerous times upthread? post freaksngeeks apatow diaspora

I watched this a couple weeks ago. It was watchable but Max is right - FSM was much better.

all the slappa-the-bass stuff got on my nerves i guess, but everything else was decently funny, really liked the running jon favreau stuff

This movie was mediocre - Segel was great in individual scenes, but the central story was threadbare and "who cares", which insinuates they wrote the story around the jokes, which is never a good idea.

Also getting tired of films/shows thinks using Lou Ferrigno as himself is the Everest of comedy

Apatow connection in Adventureland is pretty tenuous, both in terms of cast and tone

ok. who cares? it was brought up in this thread as a point of comparison

before it was released and people had any idea how off the comparison was, yeah. now we know better.

thanks for wasting both of our time w/ this

surely an important & necessary conversation

:)

lol

"apatow diaspora" lol

What classic novel did you recently read for the first time?

The last book I read that legitimately qualifies as a classic is “Infinite Jest,” by David Foster Wallace. It is a difficult read, and intentionally so I think. I did it with a book club where we budgeted 100 pages per week over 10 weeks or so. It was truly one of the most gratifying experiences of my life. A group of four grown men sitting around talking about dissatisfaction and loneliness was far more comfortable than I would have imagined. I highly recommend it, with or without a book.

You aren't going to leave us hanging with just one random, context-free Jason Segel pullquote, now, are you?

u gonna hav to read the whole thing frend
