JUDD APATOW HAS A VIRUS

The folks at iFilm were kind enough to send me this viral marketing clip featuring the guys from Walk Hard. I figured I’d post it because I like when people give me stuff. Except herpes. That sucked, ANGELA.

I’ve been pretty excited about Walk Hard, Judd Apatow’s musical biopic parody.
But I have to admit, my enthusiasm has diminished slightly after seeing this clip of Dewey Cox with the Beatles (Paul Rudd, Jack Black, Justin Long, and Jason Schwartzman) in India. Oh well, extra points for trying hard. Really really really hard.
I’d still bone this movie. But maybe now I’ll get drunk first.
Thanks to Nominus, who is both caring and sweet smelling, for the tip.
You can watch the first 10 minutes of Walk Hard, the Naked Gun-esque musical biopic epic directed by Jake Kasdan and written by Judd Apatow, starring John C. Reilly here. (Seriously, click here, stupid)
The clip is R-Rated, so you have to use their age-verification software that hardly ever works. If you’re having trouble, try “George Bush, 7-6-46, 20500”.
I’ll see it, because I like dick jokes. If you don’t like dick jokes, well, to each his own. But between us, you’re probably a homo.
See, I’m all for a dumb movie that knows it’s a dumb movie – unlike Adam Sandler’s last few, that start out vaguely humorous then turn into a public service announcement for retarded people.
This clip has been online for awhile, but svelte Matt Ufford of WithLeather reminded me I hadn’t posted it.
Anyway, Walk Hard: The Dewey Cox Story, Judd Apatow and John C. Reilly’s double-entendre-heavy biopic parody, has a new promotional strategy: concerts. That’s right, prancing in the footsteps of The Monkees, Spinal Tap, and Kiss, this fictional character is coming to a city near you.
Joined by his band, the Hard Walkers, Reilly/Cox is making appearances in seven cities: Cleveland; Chicago; Austin; Nashville; San Francisco; Los Angeles and New York City. The first gig is this Wednesday at Cleveland’s Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, and all shows include a screening of the movie. [Cinematical]
I think this is a great idea, and I hope Greasy Sax Dude from Lost Boys follows his lead. He’s the only guy on the internet buffer and more hairless than yours truly. Seriously, I’m like a condom stuffed with walnuts – call me ladies. Oh, and in case you were wondering, the chainmail choker means "Not Gay."

I’m officially not watching anymore Walk Hard clips. I’ll see it, okay? Now, could we please not spoil ALL of the jokes?
I don’t expect it to change the world or anything, but I’ve often complained about the fact that no one makes movies like Naked Gun or Top Secret anymore, and it looks like Walk Hard is Judd Apatow’s direct response.
It’s like everything I do has a profound effect on the universe, and I just have to watch for the little clues it’s always trying to give me – like that squirrel who told me to kill the president.
It’s also nice to see Tim Meadows with something to do. I’ve missed him since "Shirt in a Can". Walk Hard opens December 21st.
