This idea would be even better if you could make your own 'cut' of the film by selecting your 180 takes manually. Then it would identify that sequence with a unique number, that you could share on the net so others could play that same sequence.

Should be good. Anne Hathaway's loss is the world's gain. http://filmick.blogspot.com/
Bad writing... by Darth Bono Jr.	Jul 14th, 2006 07:53:15 AM
This story reads like a junior college creative writing project. More brevity, less ego.
Jason Segel, Martin Starr, Jay Baruchel and Seth Rogen? by Shigeru	Jul 14th, 2006 08:48:39 AM
Um I just pooped myself. Long live Freaks & Geeks and Undeclared!
Freegin' Awesome by savagexp	Jul 14th, 2006 09:08:20 AM
Nice write up, Mori. Looks great.
Is it just me... by ldm882	Jul 14th, 2006 09:16:16 AM
...or are Rogen, Rudd, etc. becoming like a rival Frat Pack?
I am so goddamned there for this one... by Roguewriter	Jul 14th, 2006 09:17:37 AM
During its initial run, my wife leaned over and looked at me and said "Seth Rogen will be a star." I actually laughed, then said, "You'd sleep with him!" To which she replied, "And he wouldn't even HAVE to become a star for that." The guy deserves this monster opportunity, and Apatow becomes more and more my hero for nurturing his young stars, keeping them working and making them shine. MAN, what a great bunch of folks! And Rogen gets to mack on Katy Heigl?!?!?! HA! The wife won't be drooling alone when this one hits theaters!! Go, Seth!!!!!
hey, fuck those guys, Busy Philips needs work too! by crayotic	Jul 14th, 2006 09:32:19 AM

randomizer, similarity by maxatlas19	Jul 14th, 2006 10:01:28 AM
There's a similar option in the Mike Figgis film Time Code, on the DVD. For those of you who haven't seen it, the entire movie is set in four panels and are all in one continuous shot throughout the entire movie. The stories weave in and out between each other, with character's bumping into each other from different panels. During the movie your basically hearing the audio track from one of the four panels on screen, while the rest of the stories are still going on. On the DVD you have the option of choosing which audio track to listen to, and at what time. So basically you have to option of watching a completely different movie each time, all at your own discretion. VERY COOL
Seth Rogen will make you his bitch! by Uncle Stan	Jul 14th, 2006 10:04:42 AM

Rogen is King by YackBacker	Jul 14th, 2006 10:07:21 AM
Is Apatow going to work in those two Pakistani dudes from 40YOV? "You know how I know you're gay? The way you hold eachother ever so tenderly!" Classic shit.
"And then you FUCK the plant!" by Nordling	Jul 14th, 2006 10:12:25 AM
Rogen desrves stardom, if for nothing else than the FREAKS episode where he goes out with the almost-hermaphrodite. What could have been mined for mean comedy instead turns into something genuinely moving and touching.
Heigl by Engineer_at_peac	Jul 14th, 2006 10:21:22 AM
Is it just me or does this describe every role of Katherine Heigl, ever?
I mean that as no insult to Heigl, by the way by Engineer_at_peac	Jul 14th, 2006 10:35:58 AM
She just always, always seems to be cast as the beautiful, but bitchy character with no sense of humor and an icy cold stare.
wish I could be an extra in these films by Sir Loin	Jul 14th, 2006 11:05:57 AM
Gotta be a fun time just hanging around the set with those guys in all of these films they're doing.
Is it just me... by Darkman	Jul 14th, 2006 11:06:22 AM
or does this sound a good deal like "Nine Months"? Nothing against the production team, but, seriously, I can't be the only one.
apatow is god.... by dead000	Jul 14th, 2006 12:08:32 PM
2007 is shaping up to be one helluva year for films. new spidey, hot fuzz, knocked up...bring on 2007. about time rogen becomes a leading man and teaming up with other underappreciated apatow alumni, fucking genius. great set report, mori!

I Said It In Another Talkback... by Sean38	Jul 14th, 2006 12:49:04 PM
...and I'll say it in this one Seth Rogen is a comedy god. He's the ONLY reason I'd consider renting You, Me & Dupree on DVD (I still won't see it in theaters) and as amazing as Steve Carrel is, he was the best part of The 40 Year Old Virgin. Can't wait to see him star.
So far Apatow has done no wrong by Lando Griffin	Jul 14th, 2006 12:50:22 PM
and I think its great that Rogens getting his own movie. Is it Rudds turn next? He is certainly deserving, great since Clueless). The great thing with the guys from past Apatow projects is that they are consistenly good. Theres got to be cameos in this though right? Also, I love Heigl but still can't help but imagine what Hathaway would've been like in the role.
I touched a guys balls once in Hebrew camp. by Regenhund	Jul 14th, 2006 02:25:25 PM
Can someone tell me how you pronounce Apatow? It's kind of distracting for me to read the name without hearing it in my head. Anybody else like that? ----- Nice article Moriarty. Sounds like you had a lot of fun. I'm embarrassed to admit that I just saw 40YOV for the first time the other night. I loved it- funny as all hell. It was like watching American Pie but funny and with a soul. Easily the best comdy I've seen in a couple years. ------ I like the 10th anniversary poster, but someone missed a grand opportunity- Harry should have been Dorothy, and Massawyrm could have been the tinman.
Seth Rogen's voice by fiester	Jul 14th, 2006 04:15:57 PM
Is identical to the voice of Curb Your Enthusiasm's Jeff Garlin.
At the risk of offending Rogen fans... by GiggityGoo	Jul 14th, 2006 05:57:37 PM
...I just thought he was okay in 40 Year Old Virgin. None of the friends really set me off. Rudd is overrated too... he was so wooden in "Friends".
At the risk of offending fans... by Ribbons	Jul 14th, 2006 06:07:04 PM
...improv is overrated. I can't for the life of me figure out what's funny about pointless, meandering scenes in movies like 'Wedding Crashers' and '40-Year-Old Virgin' that were clearly unscripted, and I really wish that they'd do more to clean the dialogue up than just give general directions from off-camera.
Seth Rogen Was Awful in 'Undeclared' by Prior Walter	Jul 14th, 2006 07:08:20 PM
Couldn't stand him in that. I thought he was okay in Freaks and Geeks, although he would go missing for entire episodes. Thought he was great in 40YOV. Can't wait to see this. I love Heigl. She's like Charlize Theron with better tits.
Rogen by OhDaesu	Jul 14th, 2006 07:20:17 PM
I love this guy, he's getting more involved in producing and writing. He's damn good at everything he does and he's fucking funny as hell in Undeclared and Freaks and Geeks. More power to the guy, I can't wait to see this.
Charlize Theron with tits! by nemesisdarkside	Jul 14th, 2006 08:33:27 PM
OMG!! Hahahahahaha! Amen brother. Heigl is a hottie! It should be (Izzy) Stevens' Anatomy! Screw Grey! The main reason I watched Roswell!....This is the stupidest thing I posted thus far!
Like Charlize Theron .... by Lando Griffin	Jul 14th, 2006 10:27:55 PM
but hot!
I think they've done some funny stuff, but... by SK909	Jul 14th, 2006 11:11:27 PM
I don't think they're anywhere near the level of like Trading Places, Caddyshack, Stripes, or National Lampoon's Vacation. A lot of humor in those movies was based on totally unabashed honesty on race and/or class. These guys are way too afraid to go that far. A lot of their humor, if not all of it could never really be considered potentially offensive, except in a sexual way. It's all sex, farts, archetypes (Taledega Nights - hick race car drivers) and fucked up situations where they racket up the tension according to a formula the same way Hitchcock did it with suspense. Except they do it to make a scene funnier. I guess there can be a science to comedy in that respect, but to me, in Trading Places when Don Ameche says, "Do you really think I'd let a nigger run this institution?" and they cut to the look on Eddie Murpy's face - now THAT'S funny. Or the look on Eugene Levy's face when Clark Griswald pulls into the lot at the beginning of Vacation. That gets me every time. It's those moments that you just never get tired of revisiting and they're always funny, especially when it's like 2am and you come across them on tv. Someone else said it on here - with the new crop, it's all this hyped up frat house humor and the characters are never memorable, at least to me, as like Bill Murray in Caddyshack or Rick Moranis in Ghostbusters. Maybe I'm must old school and can't get with the new shit cause I'm imagining it better than it was... nostalgia... but I really just don't think these guys and their films are up there with those great comedies of the late 70's and 80's.
"You can fuck her... by hktelemacher	Jul 15th, 2006 01:01:46 AM
... and then she'll send you a check for $12 on your birthday." Still cracks me up. After Freaks, Undeclared, Ali G and 40 Yr Old Virgin -- Rogen's earned a shot. Let's hope Apatow can improve on the improv. Dig it.
"Who needs a time machine" better be in the movie. by Lenny Nero	Jul 15th, 2006 01:08:18 AM
Hardest I've laughed in a while.
Thanks, TomBodet by Ribbons	Jul 15th, 2006 02:32:14 AM
At least one person agrees with me. I feel slightly less crazy now.
who bumped this on the main aicn page? by digital8	Jul 16th, 2006 12:39:26 AM

rogen is 24...he's not frat pack by the_pissboy1	Jul 16th, 2006 03:04:01 AM
And he was a writer for the Ali G show. How many of you were writing for an HBO show in your early 20s?
maxatlas19 by Mr Brownstone	Jul 16th, 2006 06:40:00 AM
too bad Time Code is unwatchable.
Two People From Freaks & Geeks Are In This by The Ender	Jul 16th, 2006 11:28:00 AM
That's all I needed to sell me a ticket!
Rogen by Turd Furgusen	Jul 17th, 2006 10:32:08 AM
I watched him in 40YOV and thought he was the best part of every scene. I kept thinking, "Man, this guy keeps stilling the scene." He was going up against some of the best scene stealers out there. I thought he should have a much larger roll in his next flick. Very cool that he is in the main role in this one. Watch out Rudd and Carell. I'll watch it, especially if Heigl is in it. I totally missed watching her film her indy movie in my hometown a couple of years ago. I envy Mori's chance to get "up close and personal". Ahem.
Shaping up to be a winner.. by Marnamin	Jul 17th, 2006 05:39:42 PM
You can already tell that this movie is going to be hilarious. I don't know what it is about 40YOV, but that movie gets funnier every single time I watch it. And Rogen does indeed steal every scene he's in. Can't wait for this one already
