Adventures in advance promotion

Rebecca and I had about an hour to kill before we saw "Knocked Up" the other night. (It was very funny and sweet, but 2 hours and 9 minutes? Come on, Apatow. Save some jokes for the DVD.)

Anyway, we amused ourselves by taking pictures of each other with the various large promotional pieces scattered around the lobby.


We decided to skip the large "Balls of Fury" cutout, even though it had a designated space where you could stand and stick your head through so it looked like you were in the cast. Neither of us even wanted to pretend to be in that movie.

I took a picture with the Underdog poster, but even though I enjoy Jason Lee, a live-action flying dog does nothing but blaspheme yet another treasured childhood memory, so I will refrain from sharing that here.

After about 15 minutes of this nonsense, we decided to go upstairs to the theaters. There we found a Galaga machine and immediately regretted wasting those 15 minutes.

Ryder, do not -- I repeat, do NOT -- stick your finger up the Silver Surfer's bum. Inappropriate. AND dangerous because the Silver Surfer might be a good guy but he also might be a bad guy, right? That's right, right??

I didn't like any of the women in Knocked Up. Especially the sister character (whom I realize I'm not supposed to like anyway... but still).

As far as the lead female, whatever the hell her name was, most of the time I wanted her to get fired. But then I realized that most of her funny scenes were when she was with Wash and that other chick at E!, so I just started looking forward to other scenes.

Was it just me? Or did these two really have an annoying sense of entitlement?

In any case, Paul Rudd was awesome. I think we can all agree on that.

Paul Rudd: Bringing it since "Clueless."

I read a feature on Judd Apatow and it described a night of club-hopping with he and his crew, which is essentially the people he casts in his movies.

At one point, there was a mention of Paul Rudd doing a bit where he pretended to be talking to Treat Williams on his cell phone. Apparently, this is a running gag.

Treat Williams. Amazing. Who does that? This guy is seriously funny.
