05.27.09 I’D BONE THIS MOVIE (AND KRISTEN WIIG)
I wasn’t shy about loving Adventureland, not that anyone paid attention to me judging by its $16 million gross in eight weeks. Nonetheless, it was a moderate success given its sub-$10 million budget, and Director Greg Mottola’s follow up sounds… uh… even awesomer.
Seth Rogen, Jason Bateman, Kristen Wiig, Bill Hader and Jane Lynch have joined the cast of “Paul.” The road trip laffer [die in a fire. -ed.] also stars Simon Pegg and Nick Frost.
Pegg and Frost, who wrote the script, will play two science-fiction fanatics on a road trip whose conspiracy dreams come true when they trek to Area 51 and encounter the title character, an escaped alien. Rogen will provide the voice of the alien. [Variety]
Anyone else thinking what I’m thinking? That they should shoot this as an homage to Mac & Me? Hey, bros, I just flew 1500 light-years from Xylon 4, and boy am I thirsty! Now who wants to party? *air guitar* ….So just me then? Carry on.

“The road trip laffer” sounds like the nickname for a guy who preys on college students along a lonely stretch of highway.
“Fek” works too.
More like kindergarten students!
Sadly, Ricardo Montalban was originally inked to play the voice of the alien…
…but he went for a run on Mike Tyson’s treadmill FUCK YOU GUYS!
My reasoning says “cautious optimism” but my nerd boner says “tissues NOW!”
That’s amazing, a movie about an alien named Paul. Finally, one of the FDers catches his big break!
*Passes congratulatory piss boot to Pauly*
Homage to Mac & Me? Nice try, amateur. This is clearly an homage to Meatballs Part 2. I wonder who they’ll get to play Lt. Felix Foxglove.
Pegg and Frost can do no wrong by me. But so help me Christ, if Wiig uses one of her stupid fucking voices at all in this movie, I’ll curb stomp a kitten. She’s becoming less and less funny to me with every SNL skit she’s in.
I’LL NOT HEAR OF YOUR WIIG BASHING!
Homage to Meatballs Part 2? Whatever. No doubt this is a sneak reboot of The Wizard. I wonder who’ll get to find out the Power Glove still sucks?
I would let her fist my choco tunnel with those little baby hands she uses in the Lawrence Welk sketches.
Mexican Cat was second in line to play the voice of the alien.
Hey hey, calm down there digitalus maximus. I’m not saying I wouldn’t throw her the bone, I’m just saying she’s getting a little used up in the comedy world.
Well aside from the Target sketch, I disagree.
Alternate Title: Race to Which Mountain?
This movie sure has plenty of funny firepower. It’s a good thing Wiig is there to give everyone a break from the laughing to catch their breaths.
*ducks and covers*
I’m sure with my bashing of Ms. Wiig and my apparent loss of being funny, I’ve taken myself out of the running for ever winning COTW again, but I’ll console myself by watching my X-Files and Hellride DVDs.
Hey, I get to ride the coattails of my standing 69 with Chod!
BTK-Mike Tyson joke, unfunny/tasteless, too soon, or don’t get?
Fek, it’s never too soon, and you’re always tasteless.
**kisses!**
I used to Hader and Pegged her as unfunny because I thought she had Frosted tips. But it turns out it was just a Wiig.
Seth Rogen’s E.T. stands for “Extra Toppings.”
new up!
