I swear I heard somewhere that he got this done for real in the movie
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.
I am not...I am not the damsel in distress. I am not some case. I have to work this. I've lived in a cave for 5 years in a world where they killed my kind like cattle. I am not going to be cut down by some monster flu. I am better than that. What a wonder...how very scared I am.

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.

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

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.

Shit's all sorts of different now.
Ok - that explains why TCM played all of those movies back to back yesterday.

Up with the sun
I didn't think I would want to see 40-Year Old Virgin, but both of the clips I've seen on TDS have tempted me. (I liked the one with Paul Rudd and whosiwhatsit calling each other gay, with the topper being, "You're so gay you like Coldplay.")

Yeah, that's definitely the upside.

I like PR a lot, and he was cute on TDS.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
I can't decide if Paul Rudd is always like that, or if it's just Daily Show appearances that make him so strange.
