ugh gabbnebb can gtfo imo

seeing this tonight, solo: kind of meta but mostly sad.

rashida jones is v lovely. that's all i got.

max's review is more otm than anything i could come up with on my own.

jon favreau was lols in this.

pretty good, but for my money Role Models is the primo rudd vehicle

wow jason segel is one tall motherfucker.

almost distractingly so.

felt the same with FSM though veronica mars is herself disconcertingly tiny. so is the rashida jones up to a point.

morbius why did you go see this, why, you are contributing to the problem

Seriously. Support art!!! Not things with "trivia answers" in supporting roles and unfunny, "cancer"-esque gags and djkrg g;rj;kgj r ; erkj .g..//// .rg. /

this wasn't as funny as I'd hoped, a nice enough distraction but probalby would have worked better on DVD. I actually think Role Models was funnier. It seemed really kind of stilted at times. But parts of it were pretty good. Adventureland is a much, much better movie though. And it had a Rush reference too!

i am so depressed that i still have not seen this, maybe tomorrow.

sooo disappointing. The first hour was okay, and Segal probably more charming than this second-string Ben Affleck has ever been, but the rest just fizzled.

I enjoyed it. About halfway through, I was worried that the movie was going to take the position of "Peter needs Sydney to teach him what being a real man is all about" -- but I'm glad that it eventually skirted that notion and made it seem OK for dudes to hang out with their girlfriends and watch Chocolat. (Both my girlfriend and I, weirdly, related to Paul Rudd's character in this movie.) Also Max's #1 point, above, is OTM.

pretty good but role models smokes this movie

i liked that jon favreau's character does not participate in the ending love-up, he just doesn't like paul rudd and he never does. and it even ends with a wedding! this is like rennaissance comedy writing 101, good job

totally unfunny gobbitch of a retarded cultcha

yeah, the people that can spell are the retarded ones

lolz I saw this last night too - it was okay, but definitely had some basic writing 101 problems structurally. nowhere near as good as Role Models (or Step Brothers)

also Jon Favreau has a freakishly large head.

I mean he practically looks like Modoc in this movie

and while on the one hand i cd use fewer 'take yr tampax out' jokes i dont think these are as regressive w/r/t gender as movies like this were 10 yrs ago

I was just thinking, I think the main reason I avoid a lot of mainstream Hollywood comedies is precisely b/c I fear that a majority of the humor comes from trafficking in gender stereotypes. So many of these movies seem like they're going to be all "this is what dudes are all about" or "women be shoppin'" or whatever.

yeah this was better than i thought it would be - mostly due to segel imo.

rudds character could not be that socially awk and drippy and still land rashida jones and be a generally normal functioning dude but w/e

rush stuff was TERRIBLE

I don't think he was meant to be generally socially awkward, just when trying to be a "bro," since it's outside his experience.

"this is what dudes are all about" or "women be shoppin'" or whatever.

This is gold, jaymc. Also, the shoes. Ladies love shoes.

Watched this last night too, v funny. The "improvised" bits mentioned above were grebt and I second all the Rashida Jones crush-love.

how many of you were high when you laughed at this?

Rashida Jones played an airhead w/ no interesting qualities

lol i'm never high!

all of Tarantino's films are funnier than this.

who cares?

yr too good to pull some armond white shit :)

I should've said all of Fassbinder's.

lol now we're talking

Way less funny and more sappy than I hoped but I'm still glad it happened? Also, I kind of liked that the guys bonded over playing music rather than, I dunno, watching sports or drinking beer or something.

The Anwar Sadat thing was kind of funny.

lol @ u

this was pretty funny, I liked it fine. alfred saying segel is a second rate affleck doesn't really make any sense to me tho

and morbs really is this the movie worth having the stroke about

I mean he practically looks like Modoc in this movie

Cuddling? Crooning? Carousing?

'slapping the bass' thing was super unfunny

agreee^

c.r.a.z.y. is great is there a thread?

morbius why did you go see this, why, you are contributing to the problem

If Rudd's character is supposed to be the same age as Segel's character, who was in Gr 9 in 1993, there's no way he saw Rush on the Signals tour. Otherwise, I don't think the Rush thing is anachronistic. AFAICT it's still pretty common for guys who play instruments to bond over Rush, even among my students. The band still packed stadiums whenever they toured this decade.

this thread is sortof a solid gold argument for film guys to all be banned from film threads

"film guys"

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
