The one and only reason I was enthused about seeing Drillbit Taylor was because it features my future husband, Josh Peck. Leaving the movie, he was the only thing I remembered. It wasn't because he gave some superb performance (he was barely in it), it was merely the fact that I'm in love with him and he is gorgeous. When I first left the movie I was a little disappointed. "Seth Rogan, what the hell? You co-wrote that?" (Seth Rogan is 2nd in line to be my husband, by the way.) Don't get me wrong, the movie wasn't bad. I laughed out loud a good number of times (which could have been embarrassing considering the fact that there were only five other people in the theatre and no one else was laughing), it was just a bit of a let down coming from Apatow, who seemed to have super powers this summer. After this wave of disappointment passed, I realized something... This movie was what is was. It wasn't trying to appeal to me, that's what Superbad was for. This was Superbad for the kids who aren't old enough to get into Superbad. The characters Ryan, Wade and Emmett were just Seth, Evan, and Fogell four years earlier. The characters were identical. Once I realized what they were going for, I was able to appreciate the movie a bit more.
Coming Soon...
Colin (The Bossman) has lent me five films so I will write about those once I watch them. Tomorrow, Colin (The Lasher) and I are attempting to see six movies in one day to break my previous record. I'm pretty confident. I don't know what we are seeing, but the reviews will come. Jeez, Spring Break would be so dull and movie-less without The Colins.

Yep, it looked pretty bad. I remember after 40 Year Old Virgin struck gold, giving the Apatow crew carte-blanche, Rogen saying that they were putting as much stuff as possible into production, because who knows when they'd have the opportunity again. Sounds like a sure-fire recepie to produce at least a couple of duds to me.
