[Just An End]

http://movies.yahoo.com/movie/1809833581/video/3727302/

looks like judd apatow and the gang have another winner up their sleeves.. im liking the cameos already, especially jack white as elvis

[ascitiesburn101]

I'm so stoked for this movie.

[Dirty Ernie]

Holy shit Paul Rudd is John Lennon.

[Adeniz19]

hahaha awesome

[Just An End]

Holy shit Paul Rudd is John Lennon.

"The Beatles (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Beatles) are represented in all of their glory by Paul Rudd (http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0748620/) (John Lennon), Jack Black (http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0085312/) (Paul McCartney), Justin Long (http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0519043/) (George Harrison) and Jason Schwartzman (http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0005403/) (Ringo Starr). Seriously."

[ThexQuietxCull]

had me sold at Jason Schwartzman as Ringo Starr

[Trainsaw]

jack black as McCartney? a little fat for the role isn't he

[Tom Good]

I just saw the preview for this. It's going to be pretty funny.

[RIP_HunterS]

hahaha awesome

I am really diggin' your avatar

[gonz]

I'll see this just for the cameos probably.

[eraserhead]

hahahaha I am seeing this in theaters. When does it come out?

[fantasma]

Sounds awesome but I think they coud pick a stronger lead other than John C. Reilly.

[WarpSpeedChewy]

Sounds awesome but I think they coud pick a stronger lead other than John C. Reilly.
I think he's perfect. I love that he is the main star off the fillm. Really lookng forward to this film a lot.

[AP_Punk]

Another Apatow film I'm looking forward to seeing.

[eraserhead]

John C. Reilly will be fine, he's a funny guy

[ThexQuietxCull]

jason schwartzman as ringo?! booyah

[Broken Parachute]

Hahahahahahaaha, was that Frankie Muniz as Buddy Holly?

[eraserhead]

Woah, Jenna Fischer? now I'm seeing it for sure.

[irthesteve]

after reading the cast i am much more excited for it

[buysoap]

Hahahaha, just saw the trailer this morning.

[watchthesky07]

after reading the cast i am much more excited for it

same here, I thought it was going to be complete shit...but now I have higher hopes for the film.

[meeotch]

It really has like... everybody. Reilly deserves a starring role for sure.

[fantasma]

I love Jenna Fischer

[drudo182]

I saw the trailer before Superbad and wasn't impressed at all...

But Schwartzmen is in it so it might deserve a rent sooner or later.

[IAPAI]

this had better be one of those things where they can't show the funny stuff because it's too vulgar for the trailer.

[AShannon04]

I think this looks pretty dumb. The trailer was sooooo unfunny.

[jwelborn]

What do you guys think of this, the new movie from Judd Apatow. Yes/No?

[airik625]

I am going to say no.
Seems like a step down for Judd Apatow. I don't see this movie comparing to his other films. It actually kind of makes me mad.

[jwelborn]

6P690yk7vJw

[AShannon04]

I think it looks pretty bad. I love Apatow, but this just looks like more of the same kind of humor that's been done so many times, like Talladega Nights, which I didn't like at all.

I feel like it's also one of those movies where all the funny parts are in the preview.

[jwelborn]

I am going to say no.
Seems like a step down for Judd Apatow. I don't see this movie comparing to his other films. It actually kind of makes me mad.

Im kind of thinking the same thing, I really want it to be good. But ill for sure be going to see it in theaters on I think its the 21st.

[Ailite]

I'm looking forward to it, but I am pretty sketchy. The Beatles impersonations are particularly lame.

[Stupendous_Man]

Watch the red band trailer. You'll find a new appreciation for the movie.

http://www.slashfilm.com/2007/11/19/walk-hard-unrated-movie-trailer/

[cahrishurr]

Looks really bad.

[TMS2787]

No.... Yess! Man.

[Prestonxsmith]

Watch the red band trailer. You'll find a new appreciation for the movie.

http://www.slashfilm.com/2007/11/19/walk-hard-unrated-movie-trailer/
I really want to see it now. Jack White as Elvis kinda seems weird though.

[AShannon04]

saw the red band trailer...still have no interest in seeing it.

[shes.a.ghost]

I'm sure my friend will just download it so I'll watch it then.

[jwelborn]

Watch the red band trailer. You'll find a new appreciation for the movie.

http://www.slashfilm.com/2007/11/19/walk-hard-unrated-movie-trailer/

I did enjoy that trailer.

[CatDiesel]

I'm quite excited for it. Isn't Jack Black playing Paul McCartney? and Jack White as Elvis looks hilarious.

[terrycw89]

I probably won't watch it.

[Mitch]

I'll stick with the movies he writes and directs.

[Thug_Nasty]

looks really lame. im not too fond of the star.

[Broken Parachute]

The cameos are pretty funny and the concept of making fun of biopics is kind of a good idea, but I think all of the funny parts are in the trailer. I can't see it being that great.

[Talib Scottie]

It looks okay. I may see it.

[AP_Punk]

I'm looking forward to it. Paul Rudd as John Lennon - I wanna see.

[irthesteve]

i want to see it for the cast mainly. not so much the main guy, but all the supporting cast is solid

[fantasma]

I don't really like John C Reilly but I mean it's JUudd Apatow and the ameos are fucking awesome. Def worths sneaking into.

[Chris289]

John C Reilly is better off as a supporting actor. I'm not going to go out of my way to see it but it might make a good movie to get drunk with some friends and rent.

[eraserhead]

haha I'll probably see it and love it even though it will be really bad.

[Roboman]

Ooooh, that was Jenna Fischer...

[allhourcymbals]

The previews made it look like they were trying to do a re-make of the movie, not make a parody of it... the baby thing was NOT funny... (okay a little, but enough to make me want to see it.)

[sweetforever]

I'll pass on it.

[SJms1026]

I think I'm gonna see it. I'm expecting it to be bad, so maybe I'll be pleasantly surprised.
But Walk The Line > any parody of it and similar biopics.

[boxingwithstars]

yeah, i love judd apatow but i don't really have any desire to see this. maybe if paul rudd wasn't only making a cameo.

[irthesteve]

Ooooh, that was Jenna Fischer...
hottie

[White Noise]

It might be good. Judd Apatow movies are all hit or miss.

[krishasaheadake]

I think they trailer doesnt do it justice.

[Adeniz19]

how much did apatow actually have to do with this? I wouldn't really call it a movie "from" him seeing how he isnt the one directing it

[fantasma]

"Graphic Nudity"

hmmm

[jwelborn]

how much did apatow actually have to do with this? I wouldn't really call it a movie "from" him seeing how he isnt the one directing it

He co wrote it along with Jake Kasdan.

[gloriousmuse]

i'll wait for it to hit HBO

[CatDiesel]

he co-wrote it, produced it... he's a big part of it

[WakingTheMisery]

I found the unrated trailer funnier than the theatrical one but it still does nothing for me.

[CatDiesel]

It might be good. Judd Apatow movies are all hit or miss.

o rly

[popdisaster00]

Although I am confident this wont compare to Knocked Up or Superbad, we also have to realize that Apatow loves this type of comedy equally. You need to look at all the movies he has been a part of. He has a wide range of stuff that he likes to write. Everything from Heavyweights, to Freaks and Geeks, to our beloved 40yov/KU/SB type films. As much as he appreciates the honest, down to earth (and still unbelievably crude) comedy, he also loves completely ridiculous, makes no sense slapstick comedy. This is coming out poorly written, but we just have to look at it in the anchorman way. Just sit down and laugh at the stupid shit.

[popdisaster00]

looks really lame. im not too fond of the star.
Did you see the good girl?

[Thug_Nasty]

nope

[White Noise]

Yes.

[piebaldkid42]

Yes. What I've been thinking about it all along.

I read that the soundtrack is going to be called Box of Cox. lol

[Blake Solomon]

This is going to be hilarious, I can feel it in my bones.

awesome, watching this immediately!

[mutualaddiction]

I don't know if the whole movie is gonna be funny. But this is hilarious.

[Guern1ca]

I'm really, really excited for this. I love Apatow. He is on a hot streak right now, this will be great.

[Dr. Acula]

I wont lie, I want to see this.

[nhoium]

2 Golden Globe Nominations

i think i may see this,
that scene with the beatles (rudd, black, long, schwartzman)
is fucking hilarious

[AP_Punk]

The few reviews for it, so far, have made me more interested in seeing this too.

[jwelborn]

It's getting unbelievable reviews, im surprised.

My two motives as well.

[shinedown114]

Well after watching the first 10 minutes, its deffinatly something i could see myself watchin, so i may go see it.

[Until The Bombs]

I bet this movie only opens OK, but then reviews are good (although not Knocked Up/Superbad good) and it grows legs.

[AP_Punk]

I'm looking forward to hearing that soundtrack.

[popdisaster00]

http://www.collegehumor.com/video:1794341

I know that this doesn't really have anything to do with the movie, and I didn't want to see another Walk Hard thread any more than you did - but I think that, regardless, this video itself is pretty funny in it's own.

[unwritten]

haha

[unwritten]

lol @ the MK music.

[SCUM-BLAST]

That was loooong.

[jwelborn]

Hahah, I love Judd, thats the second time that he has used the Mortal Combat thing that I know of, he used it in the episode of Undeclared when Jason Segel was chasing Jay through the campus.

oh and I didn't know Jonah Hill was in walk hard.

[WakingTheMisery]

That was funnier than the movie probably will be.

its Kombat.

[AShannon04]

they're right about the preview not being funny.

[AShannon04]

I think my favorite part of the video might be that Craig is wearing an Israel Defense Force t-shirt.

http://www.shopisraeltoday.com/photos/Apparel/T-shirts/Ap-T-jb-kids-%20IDF.jpg

[Alexxx]

I would enjoy this movie.

[Until The Bombs]

To anyone doubting the quality of the movie, it currently has a 94% on Rotten Tomatoes (Although, yes it only has 18 reviews thus far). I think people are only doubting it because it is a spoof and the spoofs that we've been treated too over the last few years haven't been very good.

He just annoys me in his comedy roles..i didnt necessarily hate a movie hes been in he just gets on my nerves. Also the incessint advertising of this movie has worn thin and has made me wanna do the opposite of their intentions with advertising.

Talladega Nights really wasn't that good, IMO.

There weren't that many hilarious scenes in the movie anyway, but I still loved it for what it was. Plus that type of comedy is kind of the way that the newer will ferrell movies are like now.

[Until The Bombs]

I find all of Will Ferrell's comedies get old by the end. Except for, off the top of my head, Anchorman and Old School.

The only part of Taledega nights that I found remotely funny was his sons.

[jwelborn]

I find all of Will Ferrell's comedies get old by the end. Except for, off the top of my head, Anchorman and Old School.

I really did not like Old School, it had an amazing cast; Luke Wilson, Vince V. and even Elisha Cuthbert but I just could not find it funny.

[bailmeout13]

I kept expecting Craig to name drop The Office, loved the video though.

[summer skin]

"Last time I saw Judd run that fast, somebody dropped a quarter."
Paul Rudd is definitely one of my favorite comedians out right now. His part in Wet Hot American Summer is amazing.

[Drew Beringer]

I might see this just for the "look out I could chop a man in half" scene. I say that out loud at least five times a day.
It's even funnier because it's fuckin Jack White saying it.

[popdisaster00]

I think we all need to wait and see what happens. It's rated R, which gives me a lot more hope. If it was another pg13 release, I probably wouldn't end up seeing it for fear of it sucking like blades of glory and talladega nights. But with the R attached to it, I'm sure it has potential to be dirty as fuck and really funny.

[jwelborn]

Im not sure when Ill get around to seeing it, ill be broke after tomorrow because I have to do some last minute christmas shopping. It will probably be sometime after the holidays and by that time Juno will probably be released.

Some titty action is expected. The extended beatles scene on funnyordie was ok, but I thought it could have been way funnier, but the reefer scen with tim meadows was great.

If you are making refference to Walk Hard, it is good and hilarious just like you'd expect but it doesn't have the heart I guess you'd say that the other Apatow films recently have had. It's more like Anchorman than 40 Year Old Virgin or Knocked Up.

Pineapple Express is suppose to be out this Summer.

[Guern1ca]

Negative. Forgetting Sarah Marshall

It looks bad because Jason Segal is the least funny person in their group, by far. Such a one dimensional actor.

some parts were just plain bad, while other parts were pretty funny. It's hit or miss really.

[jwelborn]

Let me know dude, I can always trust your opinion.

I would put it as my least favorite Apatow film, don't get me wrong it still has its extremely funny parts, its worth a view and John C. Reilly is dead on but it was kind of a let down. And i've never seen any episodes of The Office or Blades Of Glory, but I am going to have to say that Jenna Fischer has a killer body.

Walk Hard also includes Martin Starr, Jonah Hill, and David Krumholtz out of the whole Apatow crowd. Oh and you see the trailer for Jason Segel's new film Forgetting Sarah Marshall.

I went and saw it last night, saturday night at 7 and other than the group of friends I went with there were only 5 other people in the theater.

[Until The Bombs]

That's sad that it only made that much. Although I can say that I personally didn't help matters by seeing National Treasure 2.

[popdisaster00]

i think they chose a bad time to release it. there are too many huge movies that came out this season.
I agree. Although I understand that [sometimes] it is [somewhat] out of their control, this movie would have done better in the summer.

How was that, by the way? There about 5 movies out right now that I NEED to see, and that would make it 6 if enough people tell me it's worth it.

Bummer. I bet it won't phase them though, Apatow + his crew have had such a successful year that I'm sure they're just looking ahead to the future anyway.

Eh..put it at the back of the pack, assuming the others are some mix of Juno, Atonement, Walk Hard, Sweeny Todd, I Am Legend, Charlie Wilson's War. It was fairly entertaining, but I should have just seen Todd since I've already seen Legend and Juno and Atonement aren't in town.

I can't stand seeing comedies in an empty theater, so it looks like I was better off not seeing Walk Hard.

I'm seeing Juno tonight and Saw I am Legend a few days ago. I need to see:

No Country
Sweeny Todd
Charlie Wilson
Walk Hard
Nat. Treasure

and my lady wants to see PS; I love You. Ugh.

I wish you the best of luck in talking her into something else. Considering how expensive it can get, I'd hate to drop all that money on PS when so much better is out there.

I've read mostly good reviews. I did see a few that were like 2/4 stars though.

Oh, believe me...that bitch will see what I make her see.

[Ailite]

That sucks to hear that it tanked.

[notoaststereo]

I've read mostly good reviews. I did see a few that were like 2/4 stars though.i think that it probably just wasnt my kind of novel. if my girlfriend wants to go see it at some point ill probably go, but to night i'm seeing Carlie Wilsons War

[popdisaster00]

That sucks to hear that it tanked.
I'm willing to bet that it will pick up on DVD sales when it comes out. Seems like one of those that would slowly pick up better sales when on DVD, like Grandma's Boy and Waiting...

Cool. If you remember to, let me know how it is.

[AP_Punk]

Bummer that it didn't do well at the box office.

[fantasma]

It was worth seeing but definently Judd's worst film. That will probably change with the release of that POS Zohan movie.

[Nolessthanblink]

graphic, eh? hope it isn't male graphic...

It is... like 3 or 4 different times. Lol.

[fantasma]

The penis was hilarious

[popdisaster00]

I can find male nudity funny as long as it's in a crude, pointless way. ie; the prison shower scene in half baked.

[Kid B]

I really want to see it now. Jack White as Elvis kinda seems weird though.
haha

"man, i'll chop a man in half."

[notoaststereo]

The penis was hilarious

I wasn't expecting to see so many. haha

[duhpunk]

the movie was hilarious. as far as box office numbers, it seems like they advertised it alot until about 2 weeks ago. i didn't even know it was in theaters until Friday when i had to take my brother to see National Treasure 2

[bailmeout13]

Just got back from Walk Hard. Strongly considered walking out. Maybe I expected to much after Apatow's Knocked Up and Super Bad. Jonah Hill and the rest of the cameos made it manageable to sit through. Really wanted to like it.

[callthemrogues]

yeah..
this was ehhhhh.
really not apatow's best work.
the dick and cameos were funny though.
5/10

[CatDiesel]

Wow I thought it was great

[Until The Bombs]

Average. Many of the jokes were replayed over and over until they weren't even funny anymore. And about half of those jokes weren't even funny in the first place. Still significantly better than all the other spoofs that have come out recently.

[Smash Adams]

how is he promoting the movie considering the fact that he died in the end?

Magic!

[irthesteve]

This movie was so much better than i expected. I really enjoyed it

i agree totally, it had some good laughs here and there.. but i thought some of the jokes were just looking for cheap laughs, ie the "cox" jokes..

[B-Bones]

I thought the movie was hilarious. Then again, me and my friends were drunk as hell in the theatre drinking wine and peppermint schnaps, not to mention I smoked a fat joint before. I thought the whole "You're one LSD with The Beatles thing was hilarious. Good times.

[Talib Scottie]

This movie was so much better than i expected. I really enjoyed it

I absolutely agree.

The Bob Dylan phase killed me.

[AP_Punk]

Haha. I loved that Dylan part.

[irthesteve]

I absolutely agree.

The Bob Dylan phase killed me.
yea that was hilarious. the cox song was dead on bob dylan style haha

[Smash Adams]

I absolutely agree.

The Bob Dylan phase killed me.

the Brian Wilson phase was pretty funny too
"I need an army of djembes"

[irthesteve]

the Brian Wilson phase was pretty funny too
"I need an army of djembes"
"I want an army of didgeridoos
50,000 didgeridoos!"

[CatDiesel]

There was only like one cox joke...

[jwelborn]

I found the scene where Dewey is on pcp just hilarious. Because I had always heard stories about people on that drug and the things they could do, and then it showed Dewey throwing a car.

[utgjames]

The BEatles and Dylan scenes were the best. Seemed to have a lot of filler.

[eraserhead]

there was no way I was not going to like this movie. John C. Reilly + Jenna Fischer + Judd Apatow + music spoofs = movie made for me. I loved it.

"What are you guys doing here?"
"We're smoking the reefer! Trust me Dewey, you don't want none of this shit!"
"Well, I don't want to get a hangover."
"It doesn't give you a hangover!"
"Well I don't want to get addicted."
"It's not habit forming!"
"Oh, well...I don't want to overdose on it."
"You can't OD on it!"
"is it gonna make me want to have sex?"
"It makes sex even better!"
"Sounds expensive."
"It's the cheapest drug there is."
"Hmmm..."
"Trust me, you don't want none of this shit!"
"...well, I think I kinda want it."

[4N6 science]

There was only like one cox joke...


i don't think so...there's some in the beginning and i clearly remember the guy at the awards show at the end made one right before dewey came onto the stage..

Hey, if you guys are interested you should check out some of these clips from Walk Hard. Hil-arious! GET HARD!

[AP_Punk]

there's already a walk hard thread here. use the search function, friendo.

[popdisaster00]

I think there is already 1 or 2 other Walk Hard threads here.

[grabyourguns]

you can always come in my back door.

[chokeychicken]

well this movie was not funny

[irthesteve]

This movie was actually hilarious, contrary to popular belief. With knowledge of rock history, they were very very clever in the jabs they took and songs they made following the history of rock. it was a very clever and very well done movie

[chronomic]

the best part is at the end where he rips off that whole row of sinks.

[AShannon04]

Hated this movie. With an R-Rating, I was hoping they'd go a lot further like other recent comedies. Without a couple "fucks" here and there and the male nudity scene, it was basically a crappy PG-13 comedy, IMO.

[radiofriendly]

They REALLY forced the humor in this movie. Some were funny, others simply weren't. Tim Meadowswas hysterical.

[CatDiesel]

hilarious movie

[zubinmoosa]

good movie. not the best apatow, but decent

[jwelborn]

I started appreciating this movie a bit more after watching it with the commentary.
