Eugene Mirman Clip The Only Good Thing To Come Out Of The Oscars? February 27, 2008

[23/6’s red carpet interview with Eugene Mirman at the Oscars — hilarious.]

Did you watch the Oscars on Sunday? I know it’s been a few days, but gosh um golly gee I can’t stop talking about it! There was that one moment when Javier Bardem said something moving in Spanish (I don’t know what, but it sure was moving!) to his mother. And then there was that moment where host Jon Stewart reminded us that a “moment” took place while Bardem was giving his acceptance speech. That was another great Oscar moment. And those sloppy montages made for an excellent drinking game! Every time someone gets snubbed by the Academy, take a shot of Jäger. Brad Renfro excluded from the ‘In Memoriam’ montage? One shot! Whoopi and Steve Martin missing in the host montage? Two shots! Oh man, my friends and I were having a grand ol’ time!

Okay, the awards show was more boring than a trip to the DMV and we all know it. I kept waiting for something to happen, for someone to slip and fall on that grease puddle on stage – anything! Little did I know the show had peaked before it even began.

The Pineapple Express Red Band Trailer (M.I.A.’s ‘Paper Planes’ Is A Nice Touch!) February 13, 2008

[If that clip gets deleted, try here.]

Here’s the new red band trailer for the upcoming comedy Pineapple Express. The film stars Seth Rogen and James Franco, who worked together on Freaks and Geeks. Producer Judd Apatow came up with the “weed action movie” idea and Rogen wrote the screenplay with Evan Goldberg.

Based on this trailer, Pineapple Express looks like your typical stoner flick to me. Two guys who both like to smoke a lot of weed suddenly find themselves in a pickle. One guy says and does the darndest things when he’s high, the other guy lets him know this. Bad cops, random explosions, munchies — check, check, check.

When this seemingly unoriginal picture makes its way to theatres in August, I’ll be first in line for a ticket!

David Cross Isn’t That Kind Of Pizza Boy February 5, 2008

Comedian David Cross plays a responsible pizza delivery boy in this semi-NSFW sketch. Watch it. You might learn a thing or two about love.

(And don’t ask me why today turned into Pizza Guy Day — it just happened.)
