and amazing trailer! can't wait for this
The Third Film From Judd Apatow by AlexandraDupontsBellyButton	Jul 8th, 2009 04:26:55 PM
Just to distinguish this for the other 100 movies his name has been on in the last 4 years.
Looks funny by NoQuarter	Jul 8th, 2009 04:27:21 PM

I hope so by liljuniorbrown	Jul 8th, 2009 04:27:40 PM
Just hope it's not a huge downer. I want to laugh, if I wanted to cry about cancer and dying I'd go see My sisters keeper. Just saying.
Who cares what number film it is. by Heckles	Jul 8th, 2009 04:30:10 PM
Tarantino does this shit too. Not sure if the studio pulls this shit, either way, it's lame. Spielberg, Scorsese can get away with it. Not Apatow. Not Tarantino.
sWEET LLOOKS cOOL... by TheBLIGHT	Jul 8th, 2009 04:31:30 PM

I think Sandler's character has a blood disorder by Heckles	Jul 8th, 2009 04:32:43 PM
Not that it makes it better. I hope the fat kid from Superbad doesn't pulling his yelling fit in this movie. It's Chris Tucker in Fifth Element annoying.
Leslie Mann not believable as object of desire by AlexandraDupontsBellyButton	Jul 8th, 2009 04:34:29 PM
People give Katherine Heigl shit for bashing Knocked up, but she's right. Both she and Mann are excruciatingly unlikable in that film.
Looks good... by Sauce Diesel	Jul 8th, 2009 04:38:07 PM
...and I liked Chris Tucker in the 5th Element...
Wilco Music in the trailer by erichaislar	Jul 8th, 2009 04:44:25 PM
SWEEEET! Anyone who has not listened to Wilco before. Go out right now and pick up there whole catalog you will not be disappointed.
AlexandraDupontsBellyButton by erichaislar	Jul 8th, 2009 04:45:36 PM
Leslie Mann is smoking i would hit it in a Second.
ah by louisse	Jul 8th, 2009 04:51:23 PM
these guys make me laugh
Erichaislar... by SenatorJeffersonSmith	Jul 8th, 2009 04:57:34 PM
AGREED!!!! Favorite band. On a side note, anyone in Des Moines, IA NOT seeing Josh Ritter is an idiot.
Wilco by The Funketeer	Jul 8th, 2009 05:06:57 PM
Don't pick up Ghost is Born. You WILL be disappointed. Summerteeth, Yankee Hotel Foxtrot, Sky Blue Sky for the trifecta.
An almost 150 minute running time. by mjgtexas	Jul 8th, 2009 05:07:42 PM
Apatow's refusal to employ only yes men in his editing room kills any goodwill I have to see any of his future flicks...and I like Wilco's new single--when Tom Petty released it as Jamming Me 22 years ago.
Leslie Mann and Katherine Heigle by The Funketeer	Jul 8th, 2009 05:08:13 PM
Mann was supposed to be unlikeable, Heigle was not but then I guess that just proves which one is a better actress.
could very well be Apatow's best film to date by MANZILLA	Jul 8th, 2009 05:09:17 PM
Thats not saying much now is it Harry? compared to great comedies of the past, apatow films with his merry bunch of idiots really pale in comparison. Is this what we call comedy these days?
Funketeer... by SenatorJeffersonSmith	Jul 8th, 2009 05:09:27 PM
I disagree...YHF, Being There, Ghost is Born, FTW
Appatow's wife should retire by ZombieHeathLedger	Jul 8th, 2009 05:15:00 PM
A real comic actress like Amy Pohler would've made that trailer funnier.
Sen. Jeff Smith by firewhale	Jul 8th, 2009 05:22:30 PM
Yup. Yankee Hotel Foxtrot and Ghost is Born are my favs. Anyone looking for an introduction to the band should pick up the live double disc, Kicking Television, because their live sets are where they excel. Tweedy and Nels are two sick fuckers are guitar...
Vey funny by barnaby jones	Jul 8th, 2009 05:22:54 PM
finally, with this and District 9, some films to actually anticipate this summer !!
Firewhale by SenatorJeffersonSmith	Jul 8th, 2009 05:35:13 PM
Live sets are better than discs, I definitely agree with that. My wife and I have seen them 5 times in the past couple years, and plan to see them the next time they are withing driving distance. Too bad they only treated the west coast to the shows with Conor Oberst and the Mystic Valley Band as the opener
Is this the one where two emo yuppies do a meta-home invasion? by StarWarsRedux	Jul 8th, 2009 05:38:25 PM
If so, cool. I'd love to see Seth Rogen get butchered off-screen while Adam Sandler begs for his life.
A "funny people" trailer and the first people by CaptainSpamtilles	Jul 8th, 2009 05:40:34 PM
that you show are Sandler, Rogen, and Hill????? WOW, this film was made by Advertisers!!!!
I'd rather watch a film by a Hollywood Agent by CaptainSpamtilles	Jul 8th, 2009 05:41:37 PM
called Baywatch
now commence the Rogen Hate by Six Demon Bag	Jul 8th, 2009 05:44:17 PM
but not from me...
isnt sandler dying in this film by Six Demon Bag	Jul 8th, 2009 05:44:48 PM
thats gonna throw people for a loop in this "feel good comedy"
OMG a butcher scene. that was stolen from by CaptainSpamtilles	Jul 8th, 2009 05:45:01 PM
THE WRESTLER!
and JUSTIN LONG and JASON SCHWARZMEN by CaptainSpamtilles	Jul 8th, 2009 05:47:35 PM
suck dick like a daisy chain Ouroburous!
the biggest joke is this trailer didn't mention by CaptainSpamtilles	Jul 8th, 2009 05:51:12 PM
CANCER!!!! what an awful trailer.
CANCER is the whole point of this movie! by CaptainSpamtilles	Jul 8th, 2009 05:51:47 PM

huh by stemjsim	Jul 8th, 2009 05:53:24 PM
was that meant to be a funny trailer? Is this a comedy or is it a "bromance" movie?
wow this was pitched as a cancer comedy!! by CaptainSpamtilles	Jul 8th, 2009 05:54:10 PM
and it wasn't even mentioned in the trailer! Too many cooks spoil the broth, wouldn't you say Apatow (cough, cough, sellout!!)
DONT DIS A GHOST IS BORN by mrgreentheplant	Jul 8th, 2009 05:54:44 PM
or leslie mann. jonah hill, be my guest
Eminem is scheduled to be is this movie! by CaptainSpamtilles	Jul 8th, 2009 05:55:55 PM
Enuff reason not to watch????
first trailer looked sappy yet funny by Buzz_Aldrin	Jul 8th, 2009 05:57:21 PM
this one is just the entire exposition of the thing squeezed into two minutes so when i see it in the theater i have to endure a half hour of set up i already know. fuck this trailer!
Where's the Oscar Mayer tribute thread? by Subtitles_Off	Jul 8th, 2009 06:04:14 PM

Plenty enuff, Spamtilles. by Subtitles_Off	Jul 8th, 2009 06:08:45 PM
As if I needed another reason.
Probably really good by TheMcflyFarm	Jul 8th, 2009 06:13:02 PM
I just don't get why all of the stand up they've shown in both trailers and tv spots is completely, ridiculously unfunny. I mean if you laughed at those jokes you have no sense of humor. Maybe they're saving the actually funny jokes for the movie? And what the hell kind of red band trailer is that? Schwarzman says 1 fuck and that's the only r rated content in the trailer!
My anticipation for this film is currently at 75% by covered_in_bees	Jul 8th, 2009 06:15:14 PM
Which is about enough to make me pay matinee price for a ticket.
The fatter Rogen gets, the more he sounds like Jeff Garlin by YackBacker	Jul 8th, 2009 06:19:45 PM
And you know Rogen will eat and smoke his way to Garlin's weight within 10 years. And then we'll all look back at this time and say "Hey, remember that dude on AICN... wtf was his name, YackStacker? I dunno, but yeah, he fucking called this shit, the Nostradamus of fatties. I wonder if he's still sitting in his mommy's attic calling people preemptively fat."
Wilco + Beirut shirt by billypilgrimisunstuck	Jul 8th, 2009 06:25:39 PM
rules.
Why is this Red Band? by Moviegimp	Jul 8th, 2009 06:35:12 PM
All I got out of the that was ball in her mouth joke. Was that why it go the Red Band? I didn't hear or see anything else that would constitute it. Did I miss something? Did Eric Bana say shit, because I think he says hot.
This trailer made this movie more appealing by estacado1	Jul 8th, 2009 06:39:51 PM
The previous ones focused more on the guy dieing and being sentimental and all. This ones shows that there are actual funny scenes in the film.
yackbacker by Six Demon Bag	Jul 8th, 2009 06:57:49 PM
hes actually getting skinnier..he actually looks sickly...too much yayo.
The Funketeer by erichaislar	Jul 8th, 2009 07:09:38 PM
But A Ghost is born has so many killer tracks on it. Hell Is Chrome, Kidsmoke, Handshake drugs, Wishful Thinking, I'm a wheel, Theologians..... I could go on and on. But diffrent strokes for diffrent strokes.
No RANDY?!?! by SkidMarkedUndies	Jul 8th, 2009 07:11:23 PM
WTF?!??!
umm by mynemaborat	Jul 8th, 2009 07:12:40 PM
i thought that trailer was pretty average... would be very surprised if this turns out good
what by Bloo	Jul 8th, 2009 07:31:01 PM
no Banks Rudd or the dude from How I Met Your Mother and Sarah Marshall...I think they are the only ones missing from the Apatow Rep Company One thing I do whenever I get overly excited about an Aptaow film is remember he produced KICKING AND SCREAMING, it helps temper me, something more AICN staff should do when they get their Aptaow hard-on
Calling a comedy FUNNY PEOPLE seems a bit self-serving by CountryBoy	Jul 8th, 2009 07:37:23 PM

Ten years ago, this would have starred Jim Carrey by YackBacker	Jul 8th, 2009 07:41:56 PM
And it would have still sucked.
Dr. Dog. by Boone	Jul 8th, 2009 08:08:34 PM
The first song on the trailer is by Dr. Dog. Awesome group.
That's a better trailer than the last one, which was terrible by D.Vader	Jul 8th, 2009 08:10:41 PM
That first trailer for the film, in which they reveal that he thinks he's dying then it turns out he's not and yadda yadda yadda looked terrible cheesy and was shamelessly imitating James L Brooks. This trailer looks much better. Much funnier too. But strangely, this trailer felt very Wes Anderson. What's up with that? Does this film have an original voice?
Apatow also produced Drillbit Taylor by D.Vader	Jul 8th, 2009 08:25:33 PM
Which I think everyone would rather like to forget.
"great buzz" = "couple of people I know"??? by LoneGun	Jul 8th, 2009 08:28:18 PM
LOL!
Looks funny... by ReelMan	Jul 8th, 2009 08:40:54 PM

D. Vader by Bloo	Jul 8th, 2009 09:01:35 PM
what is this Drillbit Taylor you speak of
Too bad Sandler's in it, cuz that means... by DirkBelig	Jul 8th, 2009 09:24:54 PM
...I won't see it. I haven't seen an Adam Sandler film since The Wedding Singer...wait, let's do this AICN style...since THE WEDDING SINGER and I liked that one. The problem is that the Big Daddy trailer had that bit of him bellowing about giving the kid some candy and that broke the back; I never saw another Adam Sandler flick hence. He has two modes: bellowing jock asshole moron and baby-voiced retard which he uses for his "serious" work. When Little, whoops, LITTLE NICKY tanked, I hoped Hollywood would snap out of their bad habit of giving him money and putting him in films, but nooooooooooooooo!!! He's like Nicolas Cage without the talent or hope of accidentally making a good movie occasionally. I dig Apatow (though he really needs to learn how to edit out superfluous stuff) and like the whole rest of the cast, but until they find a way to replace Sandler with a less annoying person - like Jar Jar Binks or Ryan Seacrest - it looks like I'll be missing this one. You can't have a movie called FUNNY PEOPLE with Adam Sandler in it. FUNNY PEOPLE (PLUS ADAM SANDLER) would be the more truthful title.
Whoops! I mean BIG DADDY. by DirkBelig	Jul 8th, 2009 09:25:56 PM
Stupid style book.
Exactly, Bloo... Exactly... by D.Vader	Jul 8th, 2009 09:29:10 PM

JUDD DUDE IGNORE MOST COMMENTS HERE by drturing	Jul 8th, 2009 10:47:01 PM
they're written by subhumans, morlocks, even, who dwell below ground level and are still made because you made fun of people who are still virgins at 40. that shit just hits way too close to home here. and this movie looks fucking great. god i caught a bit of knocked up on cable the other night in the background, the fight in the car, and it blew me the fuck away. it's exactly the hurtful kind of argument you have in a heated moment in a real relationship, PAINFULLY so.
DONT DIS A GHOST IS BORN by ChaunceyGardiner	Jul 8th, 2009 10:59:55 PM

RZA is in the trailer. We are happy. by ChaunceyGardiner	Jul 8th, 2009 11:04:45 PM

Oh, and ... DONT DIS A GHOST IS BORN by ChaunceyGardiner	Jul 8th, 2009 11:06:21 PM

don't understand the Judd-hate by FrancoNeroLuv	Jul 8th, 2009 11:11:39 PM
Look I'm not saying he is a comedy genius or anything but I don't understand the hate toward his movies and the people he puts in his movies. Do you not get the humor? If you do, do you just not like it? Or is it the hate the hype syndrome? Personally I think a lot of his movies are very refreshing in this day and age of comedies based on one dimensional premises(Cough Ben Stiller cough)as they provide plots and humor that are based on the characters and stem from the characters (Superbad/Forgetting S.M./Pineapple do that the best methinks) as opposed to characters who are based on the plot and are only what the plot need them to be (Tropic Thunder/Zohan/What Happens in Vegas comes to mind). I like that a lot of humor comes from everyday conversations ("My uncle had a ho-runner") and not sight-gags/ridiculous situations (Tom Cruise in Tropic Thunder). So I just ask one person from the anti-appatow camp to list WHY they dislike his movies. I do not want to judge or argue or convince you to like them, I just want to how the other shoe fits, out of curiosity.
Quote: by codymr	Jul 8th, 2009 11:33:12 PM
"Are you mad that you died at the end of Die Hard?" I think that is the first time Sandler has ever made me laugh out loud. LMAO.
PLANES, TRAINS AND AUTOMOBILES by ZombieHeathLedger	Jul 8th, 2009 11:36:11 PM
Now THAT was a great comedy. Great characters you cared about, great performances, great comedic situations. True classic. Comparatively speaking, Appatow and his movies aren't even trying. Appatow movies are like a half step above PORKY'S only not as funny, more like PORKY'S 2: PORKY'S REVENGE.
ZombieHeathLedger by FrancoNeroLuv	Jul 8th, 2009 11:57:55 PM
"Appatow movies are like a half step above PORKY'S only not as funny, more like PORKY'S 2: PORKY'S REVENGE." can you elaborate on why you think this? again just curiosity. I don't see where you get the gap between not living up to a true classic and being just above a crappy teen comedy series? It's kinda like saying "because she's not as hot as Jessica Alba, I would be barely more willing to screw her than I would Barbera Bush" I'm not mocking or insulting I just don't see how not living up to one of the funniest American movies ever, means the creators are not trying. But good call on P,T and A. great character based movie.
Boone RE: Dr. Dog by SenatorJeffersonSmith	Jul 9th, 2009 01:15:25 AM
Best song of theirs?? Die,Die,Die gets my vote.
RE: Heigel being unlikable in Knocked Up..... by NoCalFlicks	Jul 9th, 2009 02:08:41 AM
I do agree that her character was very unlikeable, but to me that is what it would have been like in real life. It seems like what they were trying to portray in the flick was that this uber hot chick on the cusp of her career really taking off in the hollywood insider industry was derailed because one night she got a little too fucked up from celebrating and slept with a guy she wouldn't have given the time of day to if she was sober. Now imagine if this scenario had played out in real life. Either A) she would have immediately aborted or b)she probably would have attempted to keep the baby and either raise it herself or only see the guy minimaly out of sheer embarassment and overrating her own self worth. That is the one aspect of the movie to me that seemed unrealistic is that she actually stayed with Ben, because in real life, especially in a place like Hollywood, CA stuck up bitches like that never do the right thing. Hell I know chicks that are purely wannabees that still act like that.
OH SHIT HE DID ANOTHER MOVIE!! by lockesbrokenleg	Jul 9th, 2009 02:14:28 AM
I expect many ass kissing reviews.
Looks Excellent by RobFromBackEast	Jul 9th, 2009 06:21:15 AM
Some of you fucking assclowns make a fool of yourselves on a regular basis. Judd Apatow is the best thing to happen to comedy in years.
SERIOUSLY THAT FUCKING GORGON OVER THERE INTHE AD by drturing	Jul 9th, 2009 07:39:45 AM
is terrifying me, she looks like boy george post op, the women at comic con are actually hotter than that, who the fuck advertises a singles site with the worst fucking most hideous visage on earth
FUNNY PEOPLE has great buzz going on it by Series7	Jul 9th, 2009 08:34:49 AM
From where? When did any Sandler movie get GOOD buzz?
Heigel being unlikable in Knocked Up..... by Series7	Jul 9th, 2009 08:47:36 AM
If it were more realistic, that kind of girl would of had that baby aborted in a heart beat. Also some girl willing to bang a creepy dude after a night on the town is probably on birth control. When was the last time you came across a 20 something single that was taking the pill?
Same Cast Full of Pantloads by Aquatarkusman	Jul 9th, 2009 08:47:40 AM
Jesus Christ, terminal cancer is funnier. Punchline with Sally Field is like 20 times funnier.
erichaislar by nerfherder111	Jul 9th, 2009 08:52:20 AM
wilco is very cool, hearing great things about the new album, but you should pay heed to boone and senatorjeffersonsmith. dr. dog is simply incredible, every time i listen to them, i cream myself to their three part harmonies and become stymied over why noone listens to them. do yourself a favor, everyone. mr. senator... good call with die, die, die. i just saw them in concert (which was, you guessed it, amazing), but they unfortunately did not play that one. rocked the shit out of my friend (the one in the trailer) tho
The tao of Apatow by Series7	Jul 9th, 2009 09:05:15 AM
The reason Freaks and Geeks and 40 year Old Virgin worked so good was that Apatow and Family actually lived through most of that stuff. It felt real and was funny. Knocked Up never happened to anyone, thats why the funniest parts of that movie was the stuff between Rudd and The Wife because thats what they lived. Non of them are washed up stand up's so I don't see this working. Write what you lived, its what works best. Same with Superbad, that was probably based off of shit Seth and his lover went through in high school.
Judd Apatow did nothing original by Stabby	Jul 9th, 2009 12:09:43 PM
All he did was take what they did in the original American Pie movie and turn it into a formula: raunchy buddy sex comedy (ex. Porkys) + romantic comedy with sensitivity to female characters.
Freaks and Geeks, people by Garbageman33	Jul 9th, 2009 02:01:23 PM
Freaks and Motherfucking Geeks. If Judd Apatow did nothing else in his career, he'd still get a lifetime pass.
The RZA by Garbageman33	Jul 9th, 2009 02:02:31 PM
About time somebody tapped his comedy genius. If you saw his segment in Coffee and Cigarettes, you know what I'm talking about. "That don't sound too good, Bill Murray".
Still waiting for a hater to explain by FrancoNeroLuv	Jul 9th, 2009 02:30:57 PM
So yeah the closest thing I got so far is 2 comparisons to Porky's and 1 to american pie but no explaination as to what they thinks makes appatow like porky's. No examples, nothing. I can only conclude that it is merely I don't get it so I think it's stupid which is frankly a simple minded and intolerant way of looking at things. C'mon someone please muster up the intelligence to explain their hate. As to "All he did was take what they did in the original American Pie movie and turn it into a formula" that is a simple view of it. AP drew it's humor from finding different ways to put character into gross/embarrassing situations, and while some appatow movies have a couple moments like that the real humor comes from the characters and their interaction with each other (The simple fact that James Franco had a cowboy and Indian toy set on his bed in Pineapple, Comparing Heigl throwing up to Jabba the Hut Dying, etc.), the situational humor is usually the weakest part of an appatow movie. The closest to verbal humor the pie movies get are MILF which is less funny and more of just a new word for kids to say and shit-break, again not all that funny especially since it is only meant to lead into a diarrhea pay off joke at the end. I didn't want to argue these points, I was hoping just to hear WHY people disliked appatow, but since I get at best narrow minded half-answers I can only assume is that your simple brains associate any movie with buddies and foul language as the same genre as Porky's and american pie (or you base opinions soley on trailers). chumps
SenatorJeffersonSmith. by Boone	Jul 9th, 2009 04:21:25 PM
I'd be hard pressed to name a favorite of theirs. Their strong songs are amazing, and their weaker songs are just really good. I could probably name five favorites just from Fate...
Wilco was better with Jay Bennett by Garbageman33	Jul 9th, 2009 04:36:31 PM
Course, it might be kinda tough to get him back. Being There is as close to perfect as anything in the last 15 years.
Too bad they already released the first trailer by Bass Ackwards	Jul 9th, 2009 09:30:04 PM
The first trailer felt like I had already seen the entire movie. Still looking forward to this.
Garbageman33 is right by The Funketeer	Jul 12th, 2009 02:57:16 PM
Jay Bennett brought out the best in Tweedy. I understand how that relationship could be difficult and why they couldn't work together anymore but Tweedy's music suffered for it.
I've already seen this movie by CmdX	Jul 13th, 2009 07:25:34 AM
You can see it too! Just watch the first trailer!
