Didn’t get around to posting this yesterday and then everybody else did.  One day in internet time is about a month in real life.  Which is why I’ll excuse the Funny or Die peeps for making this video a month after voting day.  That it’s funny and has a great cast makes it a-okay.

It’ll be interesting to see what the reception of Kevin Smith’s new relationship-sex comedy Zack and Miri Make a Porno will be. ?Partly, one wonders if his latest movie will be called a Judd Apatow rip off and also wonders if it will be as commercially viable as a Judd Apatow comedy - what with starring Seth Rogen and Elizabeth Banks. ?

Using a red band trailer is probably the best way to promote a filthy Kevin Smith movie. ?The movie premieres next week at the Toronto International Film Festival and then opens stateside on October 31. ?

Peter over at Slashfilm has seen the movie, lucky bastard that one, and all he’ll say is that “the first 30 minutes of Zack and Miri has more laughs per minute than any of Smith?s films thus far.” ?Other than trying to sound like a poster quote, that’s pretty positive and awesome to hear, since um, well, Kevin Smith has made a few funny movies in his day. ?

Leave it to Judd Apatow to make a comedy bit that doubles as a commercials, then turns a corner and makes fun of the fact that it’s a commercial for his movies and then totally spirals out of control.

In this new Funnyordie.com sketch Craig Robinson (The Office), Paul Rudd, Jonah Hill, Justin Long and Judd Apatow getting into arguments, talking movies and playing Rock Band.

Hearing the mild mannered, or at least when he’s on The Office, Robinson scream “The backlash has begun and I am the backlash!” is just about the funniest thing I’ve heard recently. And the good news is that Apatow has enough sense to poke fun of the eventual “Apatow backlash” before it happens.
