Film "People laugh when things are funny!"

Posted by Megan Seling on Mon, Feb 9, 2009 at 4:18 PM

When Christian Bale freaked out, it wasn't funny. Because Christian Bale could probably kick some ass. Dude's Batman, you know?

But when Michael Cera flips out? It's a lot less threatening. His voice cracks and everything.

Is it a joke, to hype the movie? If so, he doesn't say "motherfucker" enough. If not... it's sorta sad.

Clearly a joke, but Cera is fantastic. I seem to recall seeing him do this for another movie, too. Was it Nick and Nora's? I think it was even posted on Slog at some point (not the typical - hey fuck face this was on Slog already, dig. Just a note that I think that may have been where I saw it before).

"I respect you people". That's not something you say in an argument, duh.

I like Bob Saget's fake meltdown better. He yells at a parrot.

@2: He did it for Knocked Up, flipping out on Judd Aptow.

@2: I think it was a shoot of a scene from Knocked Up where Cera was playing Seth Rogan's character for some reason.

clearly publicity. you would think a professional journalist would recognize it as such: doesn't the movie's title and opening date(ish) at the end make it a dead giveaway?

I think he's funny but I think the kid should tap into Andy Kaufman's caustic and polarizing humor a little more.

Eeee Youth in Revolt! Must go to opening night wearing my "I'm Single Let's Mingle" t-shirt.
