First one's pretty good. Fuck the sequel.

I love their book. It's basically, "Yeah, we're giant sellouts who write shitty comedies, but we make bank. Here's how YOU can too!"

Ugh… Second one was awful. First one was a lot of fun, though.

I'll bet The Dude was not happy the day Hell Froze Over.

What about Parker Posey as the sister? I'm guessing she took on the "Tina Fey role" in Spring Breakdown.

I'd say "The Big Year" was a marketing scenario worse than Baby Mama OR John Carter.

Correction: Men in Black 2 was not scheduled to open in September 2001. (A Will Smith summer blockbuster? Are you kidding?)

I wonder if there will be some variation on "if memory serves…" when we get past season 10.

There's actually a deleted scene where, in the midst of trying to adjust to this new era, Cap is sitting in the coffee shop, and the waitress tells him they have free wireless.

So, no Ashley Johnson, then? Her character in "The Avengers" seemed important, somehow.

As far as self-indulgent 150-minute comedies with no plot about wealthy SoCal families whose lives bear no resemblance to anyone else's go, it could have been worse.

Shh! Before they decide to give Jaden and Willow and Maude and Iris their own movie!

Apatow movies are made up of individual funny parts that don't quite cohere into anything resembling a narrative. This one would definitely play better on DVD, where you can pause whenever you've had enough. Plus the extra scenes and alternate lines are always a treat.

I live in Encino, AKA Little Russia-Persia-Israel, so it will no doubt open by my house.

"Wait, guys. What if it sucks?"

Hey, chickens do NOT cross the road in a straight line, and the other side of the highway is NEVER the intended destination!

As someone who spends A LOT of time in movie theaters, I found myself nitpicking at a couple of things:

Sooooooo…

It's "monster eggnog". The combination of monster and eggnog is what sells it.
