We watched Forgetting Sarah Marshall last night (thanks to our nifty library), and quite enjoyed it.

Some idle Googling during the movie led me to this article about co-star (and SNL actor) this article about Bill Hader..

I'm certainly happy to discover that Hader's a big Neil Gaiman fan (he also mentions China Miéville and Phillip K. Dick in the article), and he sounds like a great guy from the article.

Writer Dave Itzkoff, on the other hand, appears to be an asshole, judging from this glorious opening sentence:

WHEN an adult immerses himself in a comic book or a fantasy novel, it’s usually a harmless act of juvenile regression.

I could rant for a few paragraphs on this one, but there's nothing new here, and I strongly suspect the article (from a year ago) has already been shredded elsewhere (Itzkoff certainly has been). Let's just leave it at this: Hader seems like someone I'd enjoy chatting with. Itzkoff doesn't.

I watched Forgetting Sarah Marshall last night, too, and didn't enjoy it. Not really my kind of humor, I guess. Though the best part of the movie was when the characters were talking about the movie Sarah was in, which apparently is identical to the one Kristen Bell was in, Pulse. I liked Pulse, sort of. Though, yeah, it bugged me that she just couldn't turn off the damn cell phone. Or toss it, or something. Mostly I liked comparing it to the Japanese version.
