The 40 Year-Old Virgin is a surprisingly funny movie. Seriously, my face hurt when we left the theatre. So funny. (And not mean or overly embarrassing, which is what I was worried about. There's some humiliation humor, but it's never taken so far that I wished I wasn't watching.)
Tell me more good stuff about me.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Is it showing its Daily Show pedigree? I wasn't so inclined to see it.

More like its Freaks and Geeks/Undeclared pedigree.

Oh, a review of the DVD of the complete series. So either it has just come out or is coming out this week.
(Also, Greg the Bunny is premiering on IFC this week.)

The weird part is, Damon with an English accent.
I was surprised that it sounded as good as it did, at least from the little I saw in the preview.

Carrell was on the Daily Show last night, and the scene they showed was amusing, if a bit obvious. The interview was hysterical. Makes me wish I had been watching back when he was on it regularly.

That's probably the least funny scene in the movie. (The problem is that most of the really funny scenes include lines like "Why you always telling me to fuck goats, man??" so they don't make good TV clips. Carell's stream of profanity while he's getting his chest waxed made my face hurt from laughing so hard.)
