ebert's review is terrible!

the schef (adam schefter ha ha), Thursday, 23 August 2007 15:46 (sixteen years ago) link

i mean i don't care what his opinion of the movie is, that shit is just impossible to even try to read.

the schef (adam schefter ha ha), Thursday, 23 August 2007 15:46 (sixteen years ago) link

WHAS is one of the few movies capable of making me turn into Dr Morbius

kenan, Thursday, 23 August 2007 15:46 (sixteen years ago) link

yeah, ebert's review isn't even a review, he thought so little of the movie he didn't even try

kenan, Thursday, 23 August 2007 15:47 (sixteen years ago) link

no he pretty obviously tried quite a bit

the schef (adam schefter ha ha), Thursday, 23 August 2007 15:47 (sixteen years ago) link

I like the Voice review too! I'd just put an exclamation point at the end of "all its own."

xpost see a bad critic would just reference "hello mudda" while complaining about the movie being unfunny. a GREAT critic would show up the unfunny movie by writing the entire review as a song parody, revealing that, hey, they know funny.

Paul Rudd: So very hot.

milk plasma (Jesse), Friday, 6 March 2009 20:12 (fifteen years ago) link

A friend and I discussed the need for there to be a steamy love scene between him and Mark Ruffalo.

milk plasma (Jesse), Friday, 6 March 2009 20:12 (fifteen years ago) link

congrats on your most awkward nickname since 'pundneb' xpost

join together in the ban (some dude), Friday, 6 March 2009 20:13 (fifteen years ago) link

is there a Ruffalo poll?

horseshoe, Friday, 6 March 2009 20:14 (fifteen years ago) link

i don't know about a love scene between him and ruffalo but at least a buddy movie. or maybe they could be brothers- also they fall for the same woman and hilarity and hijinx ensue.

LaMonte, Friday, 6 March 2009 20:17 (fifteen years ago) link

is there a Ruffalo poll?

there is now

Wes HI DEREson (HI DERE), Friday, 6 March 2009 20:18 (fifteen years ago) link

Dude talked about the wedding incident on a Conan I saw a few weeks ago. He seem genuinely upset about it.

Buddy move, hell. There needs to be skin on skin.

milk plasma (Jesse), Friday, 6 March 2009 20:26 (fifteen years ago) link

Gen-Y Cops is hilarious, and his hair is very funny in this also.

Event Horizon (Nicole), Friday, 6 March 2009 20:28 (fifteen years ago) link

01 40 y.o. virign
02 clueless
03 wet hot american summer

^^^^ all a+++++ g.o.a.t. style comedies

the British have some odd talents, writing obituaries is one of them (Lamp), Friday, 6 March 2009 20:32 (fifteen years ago) link

Okay admittedly this is all I have seen of this movie, but it's probably all you need to see.

Event Horizon (Nicole), Friday, 6 March 2009 20:32 (fifteen years ago) link

he was very funny discussing gen y cops on the daily show

horseshoe, Friday, 6 March 2009 20:33 (fifteen years ago) link

his character name in gen y cops was IAN CURTIS!

Roz, Friday, 6 March 2009 20:56 (fifteen years ago) link

Just watched THE TEN off the DVR yesterday. Rudd brings the funny as always. As a straight man, ws Paul Rudd if given the chance.

he's really great in R+J actually!

oh, all time.... zzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

Dr Morbius, Sunday, 15 March 2009 15:58 (fifteen years ago) link

I Love You, Man is really really great (well up until the kind of sappy predictable ending, but that's like five minutes and totally perfunctory.) Easily the best thing Rudd has been the lead in.

Wet Hot American Summer 15
Clueless 9

ugh I did not like I Love You Man. Rudd and Segel = the least convincing "real-estate agent" and "investor," respectively, ever. lazy writing all around.

Simon H., Saturday, 21 March 2009 05:29 (fifteen years ago) link

schef & i agree, makes Apatow look like Lubitsch

Past a Diving Jeter (Dr Morbius), Saturday, 21 March 2009 12:08 (fifteen years ago) link

yeah it was waaaaaaaaaaaay too cute without enough of any of the wit/dirt that makes a lot of the other movies being discussed on this thread great. it's really, really cutesy, as opposed to the sweet but little bit twisted thing going on in, say, role models or 40 yo virgin. the "paul rudd can't give ppl nicknames" joke was funny.

also, rush? seriously? that is like third-hand lazy bullshit "we have to pick some ridiculous old band to be the thing the dudes obsess over because that's the type of movie this is" crap. kiss worked in role models because A) there are ppl under 57 who like kiss B) it played out into a hilarious thing in the climax of the film. the rush thing was so I GIVE UP when i was watching i love you man.

he sounded italian enough to give me something (the schef (adam schefter ha ha)), Saturday, 21 March 2009 20:20 (fifteen years ago) link

i went into it really wanting to like it too, unlike morbs!

also, this is subjective, but the running "jaime pressley is smokin hot" joke in the film, when the female lead is RASHIDA JONES? O_o maybe, if you are racist, jaime pressley is the hotter lady.

rudd's dude was overly sincere was the problem i think, it robs him of his essence to not be a little cynical/hateful, too many "i love you so much you pretty lady!" kind of romcom lines that i have to wince at as a rule, but segal was great in this and i thought it was cute if a bit cutesy at times.

had read there was not a lot of improvisation here and it shows.

love the dog named 'anwar sadat'

Marrakesh and Ashley Olsen (m bison), Saturday, 21 March 2009 20:53 (fifteen years ago) link

haha the dog was a funny thing yeah.

he sounded italian enough to give me something (the schef (adam schefter ha ha)), Saturday, 21 March 2009 20:54 (fifteen years ago) link

also i could rly relate to paul rudd's inability to leave a message on voice mail because that is how approximately 96.71% of my messages sound of ppls phones

Marrakesh and Ashley Olsen (m bison), Saturday, 21 March 2009 21:07 (fifteen years ago) link

schef, I went into it really expecting to laugh at least once. Found nearly all the Rudd stumblebum cutesy stuff way too self consciously look-at-me, not funny.

Some blogger said the writers learned everything they knew about men from beer commercials. Thw women were all cardboard cutouts.

Did none of these folks expect the goodwill gesture of Andy Samberg playing a "regular guy" gay would be wiped out by horrific "eww my mouth tastes like the homo who kissed me, I better use Comet" gag? I gagged.

Past a Diving Jeter (Dr Morbius), Saturday, 21 March 2009 22:03 (fifteen years ago) link

Role Models was funnier to me than anything up there since Clueless, and he wasn't old enough in that to be as funny as he is now.

Pete Scholtes, Sunday, 22 March 2009 17:55 (fifteen years ago) link

would like to revise this with addition of role models plz

Do not endorse anything that might rescind any win by Wet Hot American Summer.

Nurse Detrius (Eric H.), Sunday, 22 March 2009 17:58 (fifteen years ago) link

I bet "the goodwill gesture of Andy Samberg playing a 'regular guy' gay" is a totally hollow gesture unless we get to see Samberg wrapping those pillowy lips around some other guy's face.

Nurse Detrius (Eric H.), Sunday, 22 March 2009 17:59 (fifteen years ago) link

point taken, we don't

Past a Diving Jeter (Dr Morbius), Monday, 23 March 2009 13:51 (fifteen years ago) link

sounds like 'i love you, man' should have been directed by david wain.

(btw i watched role models over the weekend, so great. whoever said that the outtakes were the best was right, like paul rudd and elizabeth banks kissing for the last scene and busting out the old "you taste like a burger/i don't like you anymore" bit)
