    Keep in mind that it opened on Halloween. The entire multi-screen theater in our town, which is usually packed on a Friday night, was mostly empty.

    My wife and I enjoyed the movie, and will likely buy the $30 DVD in addition to the two $10 tickets. :-)

    I was kind of interested in seeing this when I assumed it was another Apatow production. Maybe I am lame (probably true) but I have just never been a fan of Kevin Smith's humor.


    Though, for some reason, I am infinitely interested when Smith offers his opinion on any movie that he has nothing to do with.

    I heard Rogan doing an interview about this. He sounded like he was trying really hard to be proud of it.


    He also confessed to owning thousands of porno movies.

    Actually, you're wrong. I worked there and went up against the final-arbiter-of-taste News Desk many times, and I can tell you that The Times is full of pussy-ass people-who-need-to-get-laid.


    If they were hoes they'd be must less pussy-assy.

    The worst aspect of Kevin Smith is that he writes horrible movies now and instead of just admitting he's putting out lowest common denominator drivel, he gets all defensive and claims we're all just not hip enough to "get" where he's coming from.


    Wrong, Kevin. Try again.

    The only legitimate critique is the idea that Elizabeth Banks would do it with Seth Rogen.

    Aside from the poster, which is funny, the rest of the ad campaign is ridiculous. The commercials are utterly and completely unfunny, don't make any sense, and then wind up with a totally gratuitous shot of Rogen's pasty white flab dancing.


    It's the least attractive, least funny commercial I've ever seen. It turns me off the movie entirely.

    @rajmahall:


    The line might be "her name is Bubbles" on the page but the unfortunate actor is saying "her name Bubbles" -- because apparently in the same Kevin Smith universe where beautiful women are destined to mate with extremely unbeautiful men, 21st century men of color speak in a slave dialect from "Gone with the Wind."
    Sometimes I am just so filled with loathing for white middle-aged doofuses and the lame shit they find funny and reassuring.

    I'm still going to see it. As they release more clips, to me, it's getting funnier. No, I'm not 15, but no, I'm not 40 either.


    I have yet to see a movie or TV show with Rogan in that I haven't enjoyed immensely. Same about Banks too for the most part. Also, I'm a diehard Kevin Smith fan as well. Can't say I dress up as a Stormtrooper and I've never been to a convention in my life, but Chasing Amy ranks up there with some of the best movies in my opinion. That speech given by Ben Affleck towards the end of the movie is so beautiful.


    Granted, Zack and Miri is not Chasing Amy, so, we'll see when it hits theaters tomorrow.

    Kevin Smith doesn't get it. He thinks that Judd Apatow movies are wildly popular because they combine raunchiness and sweetness, that's that what his films do, so there's no reason that he, Kevin Smith, cannot also be wildly popular. What he doesn't understand is that Apatow's films are popular because they preach incredibly puritan attitudes about sex and gender roles. If Apatow made this movie it would be the imbecilic supporting characters making the porno. The main characters would only be tangentially involved in such filth, mostly to convey bemusement, and to register guilt and general self-loathing. That's what people want to see, and why Apatow films make infinity dollars.

    @rajmahall: Not all Apatow films are bad! Forgetting Sarah Marshall is truly the funniest film I've seen in a long time (except last night, cos I rewatched The Castle)! I know he only produced it, but it is a very good film. And I don't even have a penis!
