Buffista Movies 4: Straight to Video
A place to talk about movies--old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.

"We are the Goon Squad and we're coming to town...Beep! Beep!" - David Bowie, "Fashion"
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.
The 40 Year-Old Virgin is a surprisingly funny movie.
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.

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

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.)

I figured they had to go with a safe scene for TV clips.

I swear I heard somewhere that he got this done for real in the movie. Considering they had a TDS clip of him eating what looked like Crisco right out of the can (I pray it was frosting or something, but it looked a LOT like the real thing), that wouldn't surprise me.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…

Oh, dear. My crush grows even stronger.

Oh it's definitely real. With a real waxing technician (not an actress) who keeps cracking up in the background. The whole scene is just priceless.

Undeclared is out on DVD today.
The 40 Year-Old Virgin is a surprisingly funny movie.
I'll watch anything associated with Judd Apatow. I even liked lots of Anchorman (although I'm still annoyed that they went to the trouble of hiring a bunch of ex-Mr. Show cast regulars, even the funniest man in America, Jay Johnston, and gave them practically no lines).

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand
I was surprised that my usual "Ugh! Can't... take... the... smugness!" reaction to Carell was entirely absent when watching the trailers. Maybe humiliation humor where he plays a humble, earnest character is the way to go.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

I feel the same way about hiring Ian Roberts and cutting Amy Poehler's scene-- and McKay was in Upright Citizens Brigade! Admittedly, he did well in getting paying jobs for a *lot* of under-known people out of Second City.
