As we’ve previously learned about Tim & Eric’s Billion Dollar Movie, Tim Heidecker and Eric Wareheim play directors who are tasked with creating a billion dollar movie and of course they screw it up. So they choose to set up a new business in an abandoned mall and hilarity ensures as their delightful characters – played by Will Ferrell, Zach Galifianakis, John C Reilly, Will Forte and others – stop by for zany adventures.

We also know that it pissed a ton of people off at Sundance recently.

At least one couple storming out of the theater actually hollered back at the screen. Heidecker and Wareheim could barely contain their glee at a post-screening Q&A. “What’d he say?” Heidecker demanded.

The incident happened during a scene where the two guys are riding around in a cart chasing hobos out of the derelict mall, screaming “Get the f— out!”

A man stomping out of the theater at that moment shouted back, “We f—ing ARE!” About two dozen people had already fled before that, and many more took off after. About two-thirds of the audience remained by the time the credits rolled. (Via Entertainment Weekly)

The rest of that article is totally worth the read, because their interaction with the pissed off audience is hilarious.

The directors will brave on with their creation, which hits theaters on March 2, but Billion Dollar Movie is actually already available for download and On Demand as well. In fact, they’re so hellbent on success, that Heidecker and Wareheim have spent the past few weeks tracking down a number of celebrities, and making them sign a pledge to not only see the movie in theaters, but also to bring at least one family member with them, while also swearing to not see The Lorax.

Thankfully, Tim and Eric recorded these celebrities making and signing their pledges and I have a bunch of them after the jump.

Paul Rudd (along with Michael Ian Black, Eugene Mirman, and others) recently starred in this parody of a New York Times ad, which is pretty funny even if you don’t get the reference.  Here are some out of context quotes:

“I love the Weather & Opera section.”
“I’m a cool black guy.”
“I like the Gardening & War section.”
“The Politics & Socks page!”

Bottom line, looks like you just got served, traditional media!  That’s right, suckas, blogs are comin for you! And guess what?  We’re not wearing any pants!  Or ethics.

Comedian Michael Ian Black has a book out, and to publicize it, he challenged Tucker Max (pictured) to a fight.  Max wrote the best selling I Hope They Serve Beer in Hell, the movie adaptation of which is currently in production in Louisiana.  Black doesn’t sound serious, but Tucker accepted the challenge anyway. I really hope they fight, because the advice my dad gave me on his deathbed was that saying you’re going to fight and then not actually fighting is what queers do.  Black’s challenge:

So Tucker Max, you drunk, misogynistic motherfucker – I am officially calling you OUT! I am going to fist fuck every hole in your boozy little body until you crawl away like the sniveling little bitch that you are. YOU’RE DEAD!

Max’s response:

I’m completely serious. I’d LOVE to fight you.  I’ll even promise to show up drunk as shit. I’ll drink an unreasonable amount of alcohol before we fight–20 beers, 30 beers, whatever it takes to me plastered. And if you don’t think I’m drunk enough, I’ll keep drinking. As long as I am conscious and able to stand on my feet, I’ll fight you.  And here’s the kicker: If you beat me, I’ll give you the next royalty check from my book.  It should be about 150k, give or take agent fees and other things. I am completely serious.

Black’s response to Tucker’s response:

So Tucker Max has officially accepted my challenge to a fight. Good. That was the easy part. The hard part? Deciding exactly how I am going to rearrange his face. Will I pluck out an eye and stuff it up his nostril? Will I make him choke down his own tongue until he throws it up and then sit on his head and force him to lap up his own puke like a bad little puppy? Or will I simply knock out his teeth and then use them as Chinese death stars which I will then throw into his black heart? I just do not know. But I do know this: Tucker Max is going down. How do I know this? Because Tucker may have the athleticism, the muscles, the fighting skills, the experience, the guts, and the heart. But I have something he will NEVER have – I’m not sure what that is, but if I think about it long enough I will probably come up with something. I might be better at Scrabble, for example. (I also have one of the original pets.com sock puppets, which I’m sure he doesn’t have, and will never have, but I don’t think that will help me in the fight.)

This isn’t going to happen.  Which sucks, because when I write a book, I will definitely fight Tucker Max.  Or Michael Ian Black.  Or a homeless person. Or a scarecrow stuffed with chickens. I’m completely serious.  Really, I just like to punch things.
