Yeah, you're a shill... by Freddie Mercury	Aug 10th, 2007 11:09:30 PM
But at least you acknowledge it. They should do a staged interview/promo video, ala Superbad, where Kristen Bell gets pissed at you and loses her shit and kicks you in the nuts.
You guessed right by Bob of the Shire	Aug 10th, 2007 11:42:32 PM
I could never go to that set because all I would do is try to get into Kristen Bell's pants.
Kristen Bell for Charlotte! by PwnedByStallone	Aug 11th, 2007 12:03:05 AM
Oh and F&G is the best show ever made...besides Lost.
Explain Mori... by Darth Fabulous	Aug 11th, 2007 12:21:00 AM
...how Bell's role will be a roast of her career so far. I might be drunk, but I do see how the role would be a wry commentary on the state of the modern actress. Great set visit report and good to hear that you got to take the fam on a little vacation.
Russell Brand by Talkbacker with no name	Aug 11th, 2007 02:11:46 AM
Love him or hate him, Russell is turning out to be a good actor. Think he will explode in the US after this. Apparently it's been all down to his friendship with Courtney Love and her connections.
Jeebus Crust! I sound like emerald boy! by Talkbacker with no name	Aug 11th, 2007 02:14:03 AM
I'm sorry for that last Emerald Boy style entry.
Russell Brand can act? by DirkD13"	Aug 11th, 2007 03:03:38 AM
I bet he's just his usual self, but I think he's hilariously mental (don't do drugs kids). I still don't get what the ladies see in his Victorian Pimp stylings. Glad to see Jason Segel has got the lead, do you think some of his script is related to his split with Linda Cardellini??
Hmmmmmmmm Russell Brand by palimpsest	Aug 11th, 2007 03:46:42 AM
Opinion on him tends to fall into one of two camps: a) he's an unsufferable cunt who should be taken to Miller's Crossing and shot there in the woods like a dumb animal or b) that he is both comedy gold and the sexiest thing to happen in popular culture since [insert your personal preference here]. There is also an a + b option available for those who prefer it, as a little of him goes a long way, what with his cheeky innuendos, his fake-embarrassed sexual bragging and tales of drug-related excess. However, jealousy will get me nowhere in life...
Dude, fuck the rest of it, just talk about Kristen Bell by photoboy	Aug 11th, 2007 05:00:22 AM
I hope you got some good pictures too.
Brand was a great stand-up comic a few years back. by Cameron1	Aug 11th, 2007 05:11:20 AM
Saw him at the Edinburgh festival. Witty, insightful and dark humour with a but of satire thrown in for good measure. I've not seen his chat show or his other presenter work but I can imagine he's gone a bit too celebrity for my tastes.
yeah DirkD13 by Talkbacker with no name	Aug 11th, 2007 05:19:26 AM
Did you not see him in the tv drama - The Abbey? Hate to say, but he was really good. He was at acting school before becoming a stand up...there I go again sounding like Emerald boy! Damn! what's up with me today!?
Russell Brand as a space alien by newc0253	Aug 11th, 2007 05:21:01 AM
somehow that actually makes sense. p.s. Kirsten Bell is a fine, fine piece of tail.
Sorry not the abbey! by Talkbacker with no name	Aug 11th, 2007 05:21:23 AM
That was that comedy thing...um what was that drama he did recently?
I wanna have dirty, sweaty, nasty sex with Kristen Bell by Thick McRunFast	Aug 11th, 2007 05:28:27 AM
There, I've said out loud what every guy in this thread was thinking.
Russell Brand by danowen	Aug 11th, 2007 05:38:18 AM
He's hugely overexposed in the UK, appearing on a variety of shows that don't really do that well (they can't find a good vehicle for his talent, really). Maybe comedy acting is a good idea, I hope he's good. He's very quick-witted and can be hilarious at times. You should download his weekly BBC Radio 2 podcast... not sure what Americans are going to make of him. He's a sort of eccentric, dandy, Victorian, ex-junkie, rock n' roll Willy Wonka with bouffant hair and uncontrollable sex drive!
Props on the full disclosure by Yeti	Aug 11th, 2007 05:47:00 AM
Enjoy your working vaca! I am so in the wrong line of work :(
Russell Brand is seruously un-funny!! by Col. Tigh-Fighter	Aug 11th, 2007 05:50:54 AM
The guy is only famous for presenting the Big Brother show. He only got his stageshow from that. He's a pseudo intellectual. The guys a dick, Im afraid.
DanOwen... by TheRealMoriarty	Aug 11th, 2007 05:51:18 AM
... can I use your talkback in my next piece? I'll credit you, of course.
Ex-Junkie? Lordy. by palimpsest	Aug 11th, 2007 06:19:05 AM
Imagine Amy Winehouse's non-singing younger brother, and you're just about there...
Good piece, Drew. Good writing. by Bronx Cheer	Aug 11th, 2007 07:57:19 AM
You skirted the edge of acceptable daddyhood material, but I'm thrilled you are experiencing the joys of fatherhood, and that you can take your family along on working vacations. Just remember not to watch too many movies. Two hours with the boy is better than any two hours facing a screen.
Actually Col Tigh, by Cameron1	Aug 11th, 2007 09:24:46 AM
he had a show well before Big Brother hired him. BB was the beginning of his over exposure, before that his stand-up was hilarious. Haven't seen much of his work since then so couldn't comment on him now but this film sounds like a step in the right direction.
Russell Brand by dastickboy	Aug 11th, 2007 10:17:40 AM
There's two camps, blokes that hate him cos he's a bit leftfield, and girls that love him because he's a bit leftfield. My opinion, he's one of those people who got famous from being in the right places at the right time (kudos to his PR team). His major plus is that he's very quick-witted and I think a script won't do him justice.
I like Apatow's films,but they're 20 minutes too long by Wayne6000	Aug 11th, 2007 11:45:21 AM
Good article Mori, I like Mr. Apatow's directed or produced films, but have found so far they're always 15 - 25 minutes too long (40 Year Old Virgin, Knocked Up).
Thing is, I hate Big Brother!!!!!! by Col. Tigh-Fighter	Aug 11th, 2007 12:24:55 PM
So anyone who gushes over that soul destroying, civilisation rotting wank if bad news in my book! Buy, my do the ladies love him. He actually sounds funny in this (I hate to admit). Maybe I will have to give him a second chance. :(
Russell Brand is a PONCE by GiveMeAnFinBreak	Aug 11th, 2007 01:07:57 PM
Saw him interviewing The Mighty Boosh a while back. I wanted to shove my fist down his throat every time he opened his mouth.
Kristen Bell is a fox by evil mystical ninja	Aug 11th, 2007 01:25:49 PM
And if Russell Brand gets to punch her kitty in real life, then I will never forgive him for pissing me off and making me cringe whilst watching his shitty 'vehicles' on telly over the last 2 years. He did used to be quite funny, back when nobody really knew him at the Edinburgh festival 3/4 years ago. Now you just KNOW he thinks he's funny and really grinds my gears
TV Guide: Scrap that Kristen Bell to 'Lost' rumor. by Pennsy	Aug 11th, 2007 01:30:58 PM
Sorry guys; she didn't want to relocate to Hawaii, apparently, so Ausiello broke the news this morning: http://tinyurl.com/2mcemu.
palimpsest, it's a good thing I wasn't having lunch by Pennsy	Aug 11th, 2007 01:36:34 PM
When you said 'Amy Winehouse'. Yecch deluxe.
Yep, a martian by TequilaMocking	Aug 11th, 2007 02:13:38 PM
He's literally the worst person you ex could ever rebound with. That's comedy. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v =5KUW4KwEySY
I'll make this statement right now by Magic Rat	Aug 11th, 2007 02:29:11 PM
Wiig will eventually be remembered as the funniest female cast member SNL has ever had.
Kristen Bell could get "Lost" by Mr Spork	Aug 11th, 2007 07:57:46 PM
in my pants, that is
Big Turn Off by IronSpidey	Aug 11th, 2007 09:33:35 PM
For some reason whenever a beautiful, crush worthy girl ends up being a vegetarian, she loses a lot of appeal to me. I know it sounds ignorant, and it is, but I can't help it.
Crime Scene: Scene of a crime. by Charlie Murphy	Aug 11th, 2007 10:54:24 PM
i like that. and heaven help us, kristen bell is amazingly beautiful. (and in a pink bikini in this movie!)
Just become a vegetarian yourself. by Bronx Cheer	Aug 11th, 2007 11:03:45 PM
That solves that problem.
Note: by IronSpidey	Aug 12th, 2007 12:04:54 AM
I would still bang her.
Jason Segel deserves this... by DanielKurland	Aug 12th, 2007 02:11:52 AM
He is so, so talented and hilarious, and hopefully this film will give the underappreciated How I Met Your Mother a boost. So glad that Hader assumedly has a large role in this, as he's the brother. And Kristen Bell is ridiculously cute. I caught her on Craig Ferguson the other night, and I can barely focus when she is on. Interestingly enough, the Lost rumor got brought up, and she said she'd LOVE to relocate to Hawaii, so I don't know what's going on with that Ausiello story.
He was my favorite on F&G too by CherryValance	Aug 12th, 2007 09:17:06 PM
"How I Met Your Mother" is okay, solely because of him and Doogie. The characters the show is supposed to be about are very dull. I think they realized that early on because they quickly made it more of an ensemble like "Friends" so you see a lot more of those guys.
Intriguing possibility why Bell turned down 'Lost'... by Pennsy	Aug 12th, 2007 09:32:50 PM
Because she might be headed to Broadway in February for the musical version of 'Legally Blonde'. (!!) That's what TVG's Ausiello updated his original story earlier today. It's the same URL as when I posted it the first time.
Drew's next report: Magnum PI bigscreener. by TomBodet	Aug 12th, 2007 09:32:59 PM
Clooney, Kilmer and Bernie Mac. You know it'll be good. Maybe.

Good article Mori! by Fate Phobic	Aug 13th, 2007 09:56:03 AM
Thanks for this article, I can't wait for the second instalment! I'm very much looking foward to this film, it sounds great and I like Russell Brand's comedy so am interested to see what he will be like in this film.
How I Met Your Mother is much better than people say... by DanielKurland	Aug 13th, 2007 11:09:43 PM
Watch it from the beginning. It has wonderful continuity and callbacks, and even the sentimental episodes seem genuine and not groan inducing. Behind The Office, I think it's the funniest comedy on NETWORK TV right now, and the entire cast are grat actors in my opinion. It comes off as a "Friends" show, but it's much funnier. This is just my opinion, and I can understand people's reticence towards it, but I am loving the hell out of it so far.
Kristin Wiig is hot by blondeman	Aug 14th, 2007 01:47:52 AM
When does the "Two A-Holes" movie come out.
Russell Brand is no Noel Fielding by moners	Aug 14th, 2007 06:09:49 AM
but he was amazing on DFC back in the day and everyone really should watch his Re-brand documentaries. They should be on YouTube (what isnt). I dont know if they were ever on TV but its before he donned his Victorian fop persona so he's actually quite bearable and very very funny!
Pay for my trip by judgemuffin	Aug 14th, 2007 07:43:28 AM
And I will actually list word for word everything that goes on whether necessary or not...I..AM...YOUR...GIMP Oh, here's your receipt for your soul I think you left it behind
The Apatow Factory by Wun Hung Lo	Aug 14th, 2007 02:45:17 PM
Moriarty, I liked what you said in your Rush Hour 3 review, so I know you're a smart guy. Crime Scene: Scene of a Crime. “Hey, Jason... instead of ‘ohhhmmm,’ try saying ‘yum.’” The guy kicks his ex in the face while trying to do yoga. Another empty-headed RomCom in the tradition of comic luminary Ben Stiller, but keep the costs low by hiring TV actors and Paul Rudd.
bell would be great on broadway by occula	Aug 15th, 2007 08:55:36 PM
girl's got pipes AND gams. i'd love to see her do 'how to succeed in business.' she'd be tight.
Mori must have ruined it by BitterMan23	Nov 15th, 2007 02:05:01 PM
They screened the film last night and the Wiig/Yoga scene was nowhere to be found.
