Seth Rogen To Star In I’M WITH CANCER!!

First by odo19	Oct 12th, 2008 04:50:24 PM

Enough, already with Seth Rogen by Drunken Rage	Oct 12th, 2008 04:56:19 PM
Jesus, there's a new Rogen project announced every fucking week.
fed up by ranma627	Oct 12th, 2008 04:59:57 PM
I'm so sick of this Rogen douche.
The genius of Knocked Up: by BauerJackBauer	Oct 12th, 2008 05:01:15 PM
The genius of Knocked Up is not "What if this Guy got you pregnant?" It's "What if we took the fat, average guy who exists in every town in America and made him into a movie star?"
seriously by stinkyfingerz	Oct 12th, 2008 05:01:56 PM
I agree with Drunken Rage, it seems like every week comes news of Rogen signing on to a new movie. Whenever Rogen attempts drama, he drools all over himself. His comic timing is decent, but it is unbearable to watch him attempt anything dramatic.
Seth Rogen is awesome by C0ns	Oct 12th, 2008 05:02:26 PM
and hilarious. It's cool not to dig him or whatever, but to deny his talent and shit all over him like so many in this talkback will is willful ignorance and, for whatever reason i can't imagine, sullen bitterness.
Devastating terminal disease brings the LOLZ! by MaxCalifornia.	Oct 12th, 2008 05:03:07 PM
Rogen + Cancer = Are these the two least funny things on the planet Earth?
"I've never seen something funny with Seth Rogen." by Hercules	Oct 12th, 2008 05:10:16 PM
If you never saw "Freaks & Geeks," "Undeclared," "The 40-Year-Old Virgin" or "Knocked Up," you really should get to those.
Nah, Herc, you're wrong man. by C0ns	Oct 12th, 2008 05:17:42 PM
The collective here has it right. It doesn't matter that Seth is a commercial hit or a critical hit. It doesn't matter that he has substance and not just style. Nothing like that matters, and the discerning talkbakers here at AICN know this.
You spelled his name right. by YouAreAllMyBastardChildren	Oct 12th, 2008 05:22:02 PM
Why?
Seth Rogen is actually very funny. by dr sauch	Oct 12th, 2008 05:22:18 PM
This is a case of the AICN TB'ers who hate anything that is even slightly overexposed. I cannot stand people who don't like something the moment it gains any kind of momentum. Get over yourselves.
Amazed at the Rogen hate by DoctorStopMo	Oct 12th, 2008 05:22:51 PM
I like the guy; comedies like Superbad, The 40-Year Old Virgin, and Knocked Up are among my favorites of the past few years. Perhaps the haters are more partial to "Scary Movie" humor? Also, bit late on this one...I read this news bit elsewhere a while ago.
Can't we just say laughs instead of "lolz" by Guy Who Got A Headache And Accidentally Saves The World	Oct 12th, 2008 05:40:46 PM
Can't we all just pretend this annoying bullshit internet slang doesn't exist, and if your being ironic it's just making matters even worse.
how will this one end? by DOCTORDETRO1T	Oct 12th, 2008 05:43:17 PM
will he beat it or will he die? taking bets.
I don't like this guy. by DocBosch	Oct 12th, 2008 05:47:55 PM
He seems like an average, normal guy like me. Yet I am not as well known as he is. Any indication of success achieve by him in his chosen career field makes me personally unhappy. They should not be allowed to employ him based on the simple fact that it upsets me. I could choose to just ignore him, like a normal person would, but instead I prefer to wish him failure.
Rogen's brilliant by TheMandrakeRoot	Oct 12th, 2008 05:51:08 PM
The incessant hate does not surprise me at all here, as it seems like most of you are predisposed to hate anyone in the spotlight. Fact of the matter is, Apatow, Rogen and co. are making some of the funniest movies to come out in years. Plus, he seems like a way chill dude, down to earth, and success has not gotten to his head. Long live Undeclared, and bring on Funny People!
Sounds like a laff-a-minute! by theBigE	Oct 12th, 2008 05:59:09 PM
This Rogen kid needs more work.
Rogen Is Not Funny!!! by Media Messiah	Oct 12th, 2008 05:59:17 PM
He only babbles his lines and stands around appearing goofy-- that isn't funny??? If you want to see funny, rent or buy "Walk Hard": The Dewey Cox Story. Now, that movie is as funny as hell, and only gets better and better as it goes along!!! Trust me, it's a classic, by the producer behind "40 Year Old Virgin". It is his best film to date!!! I'm glad that Rogen wasn't in it!!! He may be a nice guy, but he just isn't funny.
kinda sick of pot jokes by Brannagins Law	Oct 12th, 2008 06:01:01 PM
i don't smoke and I really don't care if my friends do or don't... but take all the pot jokes out of this guys movie and your left with 30 minutes of at best mediocre comedy.
tired of these pushing the envelope comedies by SantosLHalper	Oct 12th, 2008 06:01:51 PM
woud rather see something silly than stuff i'm embarassed to see a commercial when i'm sitting in a room with my parents. once rogan became a star is when i got sick of him, don't hate him, just tired of him starring. plus him in green hornet????? that just don't make any sense.
Roagans gotta eat by LarryTheCableGuy	Oct 12th, 2008 06:05:22 PM
... less. zing.
Two things that prove there is no GOD.... by DANNYGLOVERS_DICKBLOOD	Oct 12th, 2008 06:14:56 PM
...the fact that men are born with external testicles, and the fact that Seth Rogen continues to get work. Fuck me.
Sorry DGDB, that's not proof there is not God by br1947	Oct 12th, 2008 06:32:40 PM
just proof that she has a twisted sense of humor
where are all the good comedies at? by Brannagins Law	Oct 12th, 2008 06:34:28 PM
Trading Places, Office Space, Young Frankenstein... keep this list going
I'll stand up for Rogen by Maxer	Oct 12th, 2008 06:43:30 PM
I think the man is fun to watch.
Sounds Interesting by mistergreen	Oct 12th, 2008 06:52:11 PM
It'll be nice to see a little seriousness
Herc stopped short and didn't say "Superbad" by I am_NOTREAL	Oct 12th, 2008 07:01:06 PM
I didn't like that either
Am I crazy or... by tbransonlives	Oct 12th, 2008 07:01:36 PM
Were tbers in love with the Apatow crew before Knocked Up got big?
you people are relentlessly hate-filled by BadMrWonka	Oct 12th, 2008 07:01:37 PM
Rogen may not have the greatest range in the world, but who cares? he started up doing stand-up and writing. there are a GREAT many GREAT comedians who had similar limitations, sometimes elf-imposed, sometimes not. look at a legend like Bob Newhart. he never ONCE played anyone or anything but Bob Newhart, and it NEVER made him less funny. if you don't like Rogen's stuff, fine. I think he's hilarious. but don't look down your nose at him because there are similarities in the projects he chooses, stars in, co-writes, or co-produces. it's always cool to fly the hate flag. "why does this guy get work?" "[insert name] here isn't funny at all!!!" "because [insert name here] is enjoying success at the moment, I hate him!! grrrr!!!" I've seen this same senseless anger in AICN talkbacks since the beginning. and I was here in the beginning, kiddos. trust me, give it a rest. if you don't dig it, don't buy a ticket. but stop hating on someone jsut for being successful. especially not when it's a geek like us that ended up writing for Da Ali G show, and then starring in successful movies...honestly, you just look stupid.
Rogen became too popular, now he is hated by Dapper Swindler	Oct 12th, 2008 07:03:06 PM
That's just how it goes. He was cool at first but then his name kept popping up and jealous and hateful talkbackers found reasons to hate him. It's like that with every actor, book, movie, band, etc that gets too big.
Seth Rogan is like cancer to comedy by the milf lover	Oct 12th, 2008 07:09:53 PM
Unfunny and malignant. Hollywood has to stop glamorizing these drug using imbeciles. The day the death penalty is made mandatory for all non-medicinal drug use is when society will finally start to "weed" out (yes, the pun is totally intended) the useless pieces of shit that are polluting humanity.
Yeah lets get rid of all the drug users in hollywood... by gwarwilleatyou	Oct 12th, 2008 07:41:31 PM
Then we'd have um who exactly?
Seth Rogan is fine by Turd Furgeson	Oct 12th, 2008 07:56:18 PM
He's just played out right now and his schtick is getting tired.. Dude needs to take a break for 6 months or so. Every 6th movie released has him in it... I like they guy, just think he's overexposed at the moment.
the hatred for him is silly by mikey mike	Oct 12th, 2008 08:07:16 PM
if he was in bad movies I'd understand but the movies he either stars in or write tends to be solid. this one will be funny and heartfilled so looking forward to it
uhhhh no, BadMrWonka..... by DANNYGLOVERS_DICKBLOOD	Oct 12th, 2008 08:07:37 PM
...watching Rogen on screen is almost a nauseating as reading your posts.
Seth Rogen is a cancer...... by otm shank	Oct 12th, 2008 08:12:34 PM
he is a cancer and I am the....aaaaaaa....what cures cancer?
I like Seth Rogen but... by banville	Oct 12th, 2008 08:19:47 PM
...it would be cool if he went away for a bit instead of being in every other film that comes out. Then he could come back and seem amusing again.
CHOOOO CHOOOO!!!!!! by The Amazing G	Oct 12th, 2008 08:21:16 PM
ALL ABOARD THE SETH ROGEN HATE TRAIN! WE HAVE NO SENSE OF HUMOR!
also here's a not so fun fact by The Amazing G	Oct 12th, 2008 08:22:09 PM
my chances of cancer are a bit raised because my grandfather was present at the Bikini Atoll nuclear tests, thanks allot government!
Seth Rogen as "Cancer" by Mr Spork	Oct 12th, 2008 08:40:28 PM
The role he was born to play.
I use this title as a pick-up line. by blindambition238	Oct 12th, 2008 08:49:47 PM

hey milf lover by rockness	Oct 12th, 2008 09:12:45 PM
you know seth rogan doesn't smoke weed right? god that was a scary post you just made. was it a joke?
you guys DO realize you have no sense of humor right? by The Amazing G	Oct 12th, 2008 10:00:13 PM
I mean you know that right? I guarantee you all haven't laughed at a comedy in ten years (or maybe twenty)
Ha by DoctorStopMo	Oct 12th, 2008 10:08:15 PM
Further proof that all of your opinions count less than dog turds and buffalo diarrhea.
Both Rogen and Gervais . . . by idonotseekabanning	Oct 12th, 2008 10:38:01 PM
have horribly, horribly annoying laughs. I have determined this from watching a number of the interviews and behind-the-scenes features I have seen on the Internet. Horribly, horribly annoying laughs. The guys seem all right, but those laughs. . . .
Ya go NO sense of humor if you hate the dude... by quantize	Oct 12th, 2008 10:42:45 PM
..really, ya fucked.
Rockness by TheMandrakeRoot	Oct 12th, 2008 10:43:51 PM
I will agree with you that milflover's post was beyond idiotic, but you sir should probably do some research before you make untrue claims. Rogen has stated time and time again that he is a stoner, and infact smokes weed quite often. And I think all you people against weed really need to just load up a bong...
a joke? beyond idiotic??? by the milf lover	Oct 12th, 2008 11:06:49 PM
...what I said is extreme, but I wouldnt say it's a joke. Drugs are one of society's biggest ills and everybody would be better off if they were eradicated. I dont really have a problem with people who do it once in a while to relax or whatever, but I am very anti-drug, smoking and alcohol in general. The death penalty for users is too much, I'll give you that, but drug dealers/producers should be shot on sight instead of wasting the law's time and money, the only things lower than them on the ladder are rapists and pedophiles, and barely at that.
The Amazing G by DANNYGLOVERS_DICKBLOOD	Oct 12th, 2008 11:07:19 PM
I haven't laughed at anything made in the past 10 years. Put on any comedy made in the 80s and I'm on the mutha fuckin' floor....
But will it be as funny as "Charlie Has Cancer"..." by Executor	Oct 12th, 2008 11:17:48 PM
I like Seth Rogen, but the "It's Always Sunny In Philadelphia" Episode "Charlie Has Cancer" was fantastic. And actually, after an underwhelming season 3, this season is pretty damn good. Seeing Charlie pelt Dee in the face with a ball for a youtube video was the funniest thing I've seen on TV in a long time. "GOD DAMN!!"
The problem people have with Seth Rogan is..... by Riley Martin	Oct 12th, 2008 11:24:36 PM
.....that he's a geek that made good. And that just BURNS AICN readers up. "That should be ME up there! What's he got that I haven't got? I'm FUNNY! I'm FAT! WTF?????" :D
Jealousy... You guys are plain jealous. by TheBigLebowsky	Oct 12th, 2008 11:49:39 PM
In the bigining, everybody said "Finaly, an average, funny guy, as a leading man, getting chicks!" And now you're saying "I'm much more funnier than he is!". Jealousy, plain and simple.
dannyblah blah blah by BadMrWonka	Oct 12th, 2008 11:50:11 PM
the reason I can so confidently claim that lame talkbacker hatred of anything popular is the reason behind all the Seth Rogen bashing, is because he's so INNOCUOUS! this is not some controversial figure. he's not as idiotic as Dane Cook, he's not as polarizing as Carlin, he's not really specifically targeted to kids even though there are some pot references in his movies, and Pineapple Express was SORT OF a stoner movie, I really don't get holding him up as the poster child for the stoner generation...I just don't see any reason to HATE him. if you don't like his movies, and you refuse to see them, that means you miss Superbad, and the 40-year-old Virgin, and those are seriously 2 of the funniest movies to have come out in recent years. it's okay, you can admit it, you're just a bitter, cynical talkbacker. you're among friends, it's okay to let it out...
Woody Allen always played Woody Allen by SirLoin	Oct 12th, 2008 11:53:53 PM
And we loved him for it. Not comparing the two, but just because someone has a distinct voice that they bring to their work doesn't make them untalented.
rockness by BadMrWonka	Oct 12th, 2008 11:58:50 PM
no, he does smoke weed, actually...a lot of it, according to him. Franco, not so much, according to an interview.
So it's a comedy? by Orionsangels	Oct 13th, 2008 02:42:53 AM

themilflover....way off on drugs by TheMandrakeRoot	Oct 13th, 2008 04:31:23 AM
You are aware that most of the greatest art this world has ever known was a result of drug usage? Picasso, Van Gogh, Hemingway, Shakespeare, The Beatles, Miles Davis, (in fact most of the musical greats), etc, etc. The list goes on, and on, and on. Drugs only become a problem when people dont know what they're doing and take it to an extreme. There's no denying that certain drugs (pot, hallucinogenics) can open your mind in wonderful ways when used properly. I will agree with you that some drugs are stupid and useless (crack, meth, and the likes) and those dealers are scum of the earth... but there's no denying drugs played a huge part in our history, especially the field of art. I think you just need to experiment a little bit, then get back to me...
I'm glad people are starting to see what Rogen really is: by unionJACKass.webs.com	Oct 13th, 2008 04:51:44 AM
Nice bloke, but MEDIOCRE-AT-BEST.
Rogen by Midnightxpress	Oct 13th, 2008 05:17:05 AM
The luckiest man in Hollywood. The new Leslie Nielson if you will.
Seth Rogen, that fucking jerkoff, is not funny. by Motoko Kusanagi	Oct 13th, 2008 05:25:23 AM
And the overhyped appraisal he gets for everyfuckingthing he does is starting to piss me off.
Sounds like The Bucket List with weed. by Rev. Slappy	Oct 13th, 2008 05:30:26 AM
Will either be really good or really bad, cancer comedies walk a very fine line.
Nerds..... by SantiagoAndDunbar	Oct 13th, 2008 06:08:39 AM

Hercules by unionJACKass.webs.com	Oct 13th, 2008 07:08:04 AM
I didn't laugh once through KNOCKED UP. I'm not saying the film was shit, but TO ME it was NOT funny.
Brannagins Law by unionJACKass.webs.com	Oct 13th, 2008 07:14:32 AM
You hit the nail on the head, buddy! IMO, there has only one true LOL comedy film in recent years and that was BORAT. I think BRUNO could even be funnier.
ROTFLMAO!!! CANCER!!! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!! by LaserPants	Oct 13th, 2008 07:53:33 AM
Oh man, when, he, wait, wait, when he, had to do chemo and all his hair fell out and he lost all this weight and can't stop puking THAT WAS SO FUCKING FUNYY!!! HOLY FUCKING SHIT!!! HAHAHAHAHAHA!!! I hear in the sequel he gets FULL BLOWN AIDS!!! HAHAHAHAHAHA!!! OMFG!!! LOLZORS!!! 11!1!!!!1!!!1! no, but really, worst idea ever.
I tend to agree with Mr. Zed by just pillow talk	Oct 13th, 2008 08:18:24 AM
I think he's funny as a supporting character, but unsure about him as a lead. I did not find Knocked Up funny at all. It was really just some chick movie with maybe a couple laughs thrown in. I have not seen Pineapple Express, so I can't comment on it. I do like Knocked Up and Superbad. Guess I have to adjust my humor as well DerLanghaarige?
LaserPants by unionJACKass.webs.com	Oct 13th, 2008 08:25:49 AM
I think it's Rogen's attempt to prove he's a 'Real Actor' like Jim Carrey did with THE TRUEMAN SHOW.
Dying with cancer. Sounds hilarious. by GaiustheBrave	Oct 13th, 2008 08:25:53 AM
I'm hoping if this makes it big we can finally get that syphilis musical-comedy I've been hoping for.
I have to tell you by Purgatori	Oct 13th, 2008 08:46:56 AM
I got diagnosed with cancer the week before I went to comicon for the first time ever. And the first words out of my mouth after I was told? "Can I still go to comicon?" Yes, I am that sad. Thankfully I'm a survivor and I've been c-free for 3 years. But the thing that kept me going was having a sense of humor about the whole thing. You have to or you go crazy. I went to comicon and had one of the best times of my life. It was a goal of mine for years and one of the things I wanted to do before I croaked. So you better believe I had a great time there.
I think he is pretty funny by Animation	Oct 13th, 2008 08:49:41 AM
I think Seth is funny. I've only seen him in 40 Year Old Virgin, but I liked him there. Therefore I'm not tired of him and to me he seems fresh. His name does pop up on AICN often, though (which is fine). I'm looking forward to seeing him in Green Hornet one of these years. :) I do wish it were a serious take instead of a comedy (I'm fine with Seth either way).
That bit in Knocked Up... by Knuckleduster	Oct 13th, 2008 09:28:09 AM
... where the kid says he/she (can't remember) googled "murder" made me laugh like a madman. Comedy gold.
I had "The Good Hodgkins" by Squashua	Oct 13th, 2008 10:12:45 AM
And I found that Larry David episode to be hilarity unleashed.
The laugh... by Darth Macchio	Oct 13th, 2008 10:37:55 AM
...yes...it is the fucking worst. I don't hate the guy at all...hilarious in 40yov but I hated 'Knocked up' but that making of the "Kung Fu Panda" thing they said they actually cast him in part because of his laugh (or some shit) and I was like...are you asshole deaf? The guy has that 'gargling molten lava' laugh that is like using a metal brillo pad for a wash cloth. I haven't heard enough of Gervais laugh to know one way or the other but Rogen's laugh is like audible ass kickings. But otherwise, stick to the slapstick and you'll go far young behemoth.
Okay armchair asshats by SpawnofAchilles	Oct 13th, 2008 11:08:57 AM
give me some guys who are funnier then him right now. If anyone says adam sandler they automatically get chopped in the throat. And let's not forget that Rogen is also one of the funniest writers working right now so give the man some fucking respect and stop being jealous that your fat ass is not his fat ass. You guys hate on Jonah Hill, who is also hilarious, so what gives?
TheMandrake by the milf lover	Oct 13th, 2008 11:57:57 AM
I guess I wont be getting back to you then, because I've never tried or touched any of that shit in my entire life and that's something I am hugely proud of! So I wont be experimenting any time soon, even if someone were to put a gun to my head to do it, they'd better be ready to pull the fucking trigger. I've seen enough people around me screwing up their life and health with all that shit, so no thanks. I could almost agree with you about drug-induced creativity, but quite frankly I dont. I'm with Mr Zeddmore on that one, except I dont feel sorry for them.
SpawnofAchilles by the milf lover	Oct 13th, 2008 12:06:31 PM
Stephen Colbert, Jack Black, Rob Schneider, Christopher Titus, Sean William Scott, Robert Downey Jr (in Tropic Thunder) Seth Green, Seth McFarlane, the South Park guys.....
Marijuana and Mushrooms by ChocolateJesus	Oct 13th, 2008 12:12:29 PM
Grow as naturally on this planet as humans do. Ignorance is worse than any drug.
I find Rogan funnier as a supporting actor by BigTuna	Oct 13th, 2008 12:14:22 PM
He seemed very weak in Knocked Up. I loved him in 40-Year OLd virgin though. He was hilarious.
how the fuck was he funny in 40 Virgin? by DANNYGLOVERS_DICKBLOOD	Oct 13th, 2008 12:26:15 PM
What fucking movie were you people watching? Jesus H. Christ. I just don't get it. Were you guys seriously laughing at that....she thinks you're a pot-head.....I am....bit? Awwwww fuck. Didn't pot jokes stop being funny like the 8th grade? They did for me.
I DONT DO DRUGS by SpawnofAchilles	Oct 13th, 2008 12:33:49 PM
only weed. Look anything in excess is usually bad. This goes for drugs, alcohol, sex (okay maybe not?) food, sugar, etc. Some drugs are very destructive and addictive and should be avoided all together, weed is CERTAINLY not one of them. It's less harmful then alcohol. What causes more death, drunk driving or um uh OD'ing on weed?
hey milf lover by SpawnofAchilles	Oct 13th, 2008 12:36:43 PM
"the only things lower than them on the ladder are rapists and pedophiles, and barely at that." I guess drug dealers are worse then murderers? I call CLOWN SHOES! Clown Shoes I say!
its not the issue of weed doing anything other than... by DANNYGLOVERS_DICKBLOOD	Oct 13th, 2008 12:39:03 PM
...making you fucking annoying to be around. Its the gateway issue. Which is completely true, and don't even give me any line of shit denying that. Growing up-- I knew several friends who smoked weed occasionally. As we got toward the end of High School, it progressed into more and more use until they moved onto bigger and better things. With heavy weed smoking they have to smoke a ridiculous amount to feel anything after awhile. So they move onto the heavier shit. And this fucked up many lives of close friends of mine. One of whom is now dead. I guarantee he wouldn't have just jumped in with the heavy shit....its the slow escalation from one thing to the next that does it. And it is the general sentiment that weed is harmless that makes it so inviting at first.
and of course nothing is absolute..... by DANNYGLOVERS_DICKBLOOD	Oct 13th, 2008 12:41:06 PM
....there are life long heavy pot smokers than can live full and successful lives. But outside of the music or film business, how likely is this? Its pretty rare I'd say.
SETH ROGEN IS CANCER!! by DANNYGLOVERS_DICKBLOOD	Oct 13th, 2008 12:52:11 PM
So maybe this film is more philosophical about the internal struggle of realizing one's purpose.
hmmm by SpawnofAchilles	Oct 13th, 2008 12:52:18 PM
NPH, funny in H&K, never saw his show. Colbert is funny but he is a one trick pony, Love, love Jack Black so can't argue there although a lot of TB'ers hate him vehemently for the same reasons they hate Rogen, Carrell, Rudd and presumably Segel all work steadily (some of it thanks to Rogen and Apatow) so what's the problem? Not sure who Dwight Schultz is, Rob Schenieder and Seth Green...umm no. RDJ isn't really a comedy actor. Does anyone really want to see the south park guys in more movies? They should stick to southpark and other shit where they are nowhere to be seen. Plus southpark has been on forever. So most of the people mentioned are either working regularly, involved with Rogen and Apatow's camp, or are just not that funny(to me and compared to Rogen in my opinion)...so again what is the problem?
in defense of Jack Black.... by DANNYGLOVERS_DICKBLOOD	Oct 13th, 2008 01:00:08 PM
Margot At The Wedding. Thats all I have to say. Rogen would fucking break down in tears if someone told him he had to play that part as convincingly as Jack Black. The whole, "I'm a geek just like you guys, so come see my movie" plea. Absolutely fucking pathetic. And you jerk-offs fall for it. You should be proud.
DGDB by SpawnofAchilles	Oct 13th, 2008 01:05:27 PM
I really enjoyed Margot at the Wedding, but to be fair JB was still JB just more controlled, he's said before that he can't play sad and it shows in that movie a bit. Thought it was great and he was great in it but his acting is still questionable at this point.
SpawnofAchilles by DANNYGLOVERS_DICKBLOOD	Oct 13th, 2008 01:07:17 PM
Good of you to at least appreciate a great film. Have you noticed most people say they can't fucking stand it? I couldn't believe so many people found it so disturbing.
DGDB weed gateway by SpawnofAchilles	Oct 13th, 2008 01:07:21 PM
I agree 100% it is a gateway drug, but that's where moderation, common sense and discipline come in.
DGDB by SpawnofAchilles	Oct 13th, 2008 01:10:48 PM
Yeah I really liked it, very compelling, very interesting characterizations and I loved the fact that Jack Black was in it at all and that he did a very good job. I also really liked Noah's first (I think?) film the Squid and the Whale. Did you see that one? Talk about a fucked up family!

But how many serious pot-heads have moderation, common sense, and discipline? I'm not talking the once a monthers.....I'm talking the 5 times a day mutha fuckas. Thats where that shit stops being funny and starts fucking up your life.
I didn't see Squid..... by DANNYGLOVERS_DICKBLOOD	Oct 13th, 2008 01:12:46 PM
...but yeah Margot was great. Amazing photography. That is what initially grabbed me in the trailers.
You really should by SpawnofAchilles	Oct 13th, 2008 01:30:23 PM
check out the Squid and the Whale if you liked Margot at the Wedding. Mining similar territory with a very dysfunctional family but this is a husband and wife who's marriage fell apart and it shows the affect that situation has on their kids. Good stuff, very uplifting!

Rogen is funny. by fivezero	Oct 13th, 2008 02:54:01 PM
He's not super talented ultra funny. But he's written and said some funny things in movies. Some may not like the fact that much of his funniness hinges on being an ordinary schlub and observational pop culture irreverence. And that's too bad. He's funny. Period. Go cry about it.
Rogen haters watch Everybody loves Raymond by pokadoo	Oct 13th, 2008 03:26:43 PM
It's true, ask them!!
So people don't like his style of humor by frozen01	Oct 13th, 2008 03:35:38 PM
So what? That doesn't mean they don't have a sense of humor, period. Personally (and this is just what I think, NOT a comment on the character of anyone who disagrees with me), I just don't think he's that funny. I find his humor to be childish, and frankly no more entertaining than Dane Cook (another guy I never understood how he got so popular). Of course, maybe 26 is the new 45. I seem to hate everything that's really popular with most folks anymore... Seth Rogen, hip-hop (I'd list a specific artist but I gave up long ago), reality TV... in that "back in my day, comedy movies were funny and music was actually good!" kind of way. God, I feel old!

Hehe, my mom loves that show. Can't stand sitcoms though, and I'm more of a Daily Show/Colbert Report/Lewis Black/standup kind of person. Still don't think Seth Rogen is funny.
26 the new 45...? by GaiustheBrave	Oct 13th, 2008 04:01:33 PM
like hell. Frozen01, we just get more discriminating is all. If I ever stop acting like I'm 18, grind up a Gigli dvd and put it in my ice cream. I agree, though, that is odd to hear the words, "well, in my day..." coming out of my mouth. I don't mind, though, because young people today have no taste, dammit! In my day, if we wanted porn, we had to steal it from a friend's creepy father's collection. Ever notice that every tb that mentions a comedian devolves into a shouting match about who has the best sense of humor?
Open letter to Seth or his buddies by hallmitchell	Oct 13th, 2008 07:15:45 PM
Please guys. Get Seth and Kevin Smith do either do an improv comedy gig or have them sitting in a chair riffing on comics and pop culture for the DVD extras on Zack and Miri. Please!!!!
rogen by redkamel	Oct 13th, 2008 09:18:36 PM
rogen was funny when he was the average dude who would kind of just show up in the movie (like 40 yr old virgin). Kind of like your friend who is average, and kind of funny, and its good to chill with him. But damn, if you saw him every day, in every movie, youd probably start to hate him. I like the guy, but after 2-3 movies I kinda just got used to him and didnt really care anymore. Also, pot jokes ARE getting old. Just like Will Ferrell, this guy only has one schtick. Its not as good, so it runs out faster. Kind of like how I completely stopped caring about Ferrell at Talladega nights. Him and his whole crew only have one move too, and thats super ridiculous/super serious at the same time.
Agree with Executor "It's Always Sunny In Philadelphia" is the by Brannagins Law	Oct 14th, 2008 12:39:01 AM
and "Charlie Has Cancer" was amazing. That show is constantly hysterical.
