Everything I know, I learned from Forgetting Sarah Marshall
1. Jason Segel can, like, write stuff. Apparently all that time in Judd Apatow’s writers’ room paid off; his movie is genuinely funny and well-written, and pleasingly un-formulaic. Skeptical as I am of Apatow’s sudden desire to paste his name on every R-rated comedy out there, I did not see this coming. (More CH Fun Facts, courtesy of IMDB: Jason Segel is 28, which makes me…a complete loser at life; he’s been tapped to write and direct the next Muppet movie. Apparently he has a thing for puppets? Awesome. Whatever. He can do his Dracula voice for me anytime he wants. No lie.)
2. Mila Kunis is, as a wise woman once said, an intense kind of pretty. Almost so pretty she stops being pretty, actually. I didn’t know there was a strike zone for that kind of thing.
3. Maybe, in the land of the Apatow Romantic Comedy, the girl who dumps doesn’t have to be a complete wench. Relational complexity? Wha?
4. Dracula is totally a puppet rock opera waiting to happen. If and when this comes to my home city, somebody must take me. This would be the world’s most amazing first date–true love, dapper fashion (the good Count sure knows how to dress for dinner), and singing hand puppets? Do they also sing “Can You Feel the Love Tonight”?
5. HAWAII. Why are you so far awaaaaay? (Also, I wonder if the Lost folks realize that if they walk far enough south, they’d hit Waikiki Beach? You’d think Jack would’ve figured that out by now.)
