I love it when the normal logic of Hollywood crumbles and you get a movie released that seems like one perverted joke.
INT. HOLLYWOOD OFFICE
Two executives are doing blow off a donkey. Just a normal Tuesday morning in Hollywood. Executive One: Hey wouldn’t it be funny if we made a movie about a time machine… that’s a hot tub. Executive Two: If you get me one guy with some acting ability and a little charm, like that John Cusack guy … Executive One: Wait, does that mean his sister has to be in the movie? Executive Two: It’s in his contract with the devil. But get me him, a rising comic star, and two guys that won’t cost a whole lot. I will see the shit out of that movie. Executive One: I’ll be you one dollar that you can’t get that movie to gross a hundred mill. Executive Two: I see that dollar and raise you the donkey. But not the blow.
We fade out as the two laugh and roll around on the ground together.
The Office star Craig Robinson offers some sexy advice. Sometimes I have no idea how they manage to keep a straight face. Safe for work, but probably not safe for the sexually prudish.
This is one fantasy baseball league that I can get behind. I love the details that Craig Robinson put on here — from the box score to the lineups. All the details are well-thought out and spot on.
I hope we get box scores for the Championship between Earth, Wind and Fire and Wu-Tang Clan. Though I just discovered Robinson’s Flip Flop Flyin’ and his baseball site Flip Flop Flyball both have instantly become a must read. Bullocks that I’ve just discovered them. Wish I had been reading from the beginning.

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.
