Last July, David Wain started hinting while promoting other films that he and his fellow former State members were floating the idea of a reunion for a Wet Hot American Summer sequel. Our response looked something like this:

But then some time passed and we didn’t hear much more about it other than a few whispers that it could be a prequel with the older actors playing younger versions to hilarious results. Our response still looked something like this:

Then a few more months passed and we didn’t hear a thing about whether or not this prequel or sequel was progressing and our response looked something like this…

Baby don't hurt us.

While I sit here waiting for someone to finally give me the ultimate mashup of movie characters making fart noises, I suppose I can settle for today’s best effort of some of Hollywood’s hunkiest A-list male actors saying, “I love you.” There are also some people in this that have no business having ever been cast as a romantic lead *pauses screen, gives middle finger to Josh Radnor* but this post is all about what you ladies want today (or until the next post).

So why don’t you draw yourself a nice, hot bubble bath, pop a bottle of bubbly, strap on a blindfold, lay back and pretend like Matt Damon, George Clooney, Tom Cruise, Colin Firth, Ben Affleck, Shia LeBeouf, Brad Pitt, Zac Efron, Leo DiCaprio, Robert Pattinson, that guy from Scrubs and Paul Rudd are saying those awesome three little words to you. Also, while you’re blondfolded, I’m going to steal your TV.

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.

The first publicity image has been released from Judd Apatow’s This is Forty, a movie about Leslie Mann and Paul Rudd’s characters set a few years after Knocked Up. And yes, Judd Apatow cast his real wife and kids again (Maude and Iris, 14 and 9), with Paul Rudd as his stand in. Which isn’t that weird a fetish when you think about it.

Apatow’s first directing effort since 2009′s “Funny People” — picks up with the family a few years after “Knocked Up.” Pete’s music label is struggling and Debbie’s vanity business, a dress shop staffed by the comely Desi (Megan Fox) and the awkward Jodi (Charlyne Yi), needs to help cover the household budget.

Holy sh*t, this sounds incredible! Wait, what’s ‘comely’ mean?

Along with Eagleheart, Children’s Hospital, co-written and executive produced by Hot Wet American Summer director David Wain, is probably one of the funniest shows on TV that you aren’t watching. So you can imagine how excited I am that Wain has a movie coming out called Wanderlust, starring Paul Rudd, reuniting the team that gave us (among other things) this:

Are you watching the trailer already? You should be watching the trailer.
