DISQUS

Tom Mottola · 1 year ago

Apatow did not direct superbad - Greg Mottola (my brother!) was the director, the man responsible for helming the film that drove you to laugh-induced public urination

Neil Miller · 1 year ago

Cole... You will be reprimanded for that error.

As well, I will be reprimanding myself for not catching said error.

Our apologies to the Mattola family -- Superbad rocked our world.

Sorry guys this guy does nothing for me.
IMO his films are all remakes of classic flms, he just changes the titles and calls it brillant.
The guys a hack and allways will be. (IMO).

I know quite a few people who have watched Forgetting Sarah Marshall this week, or will be watching it in the coming weeks. Word of mouth for that movie will, IMO, keep it from being labeleed a bomb.

That's a bit broad, because It's not just Apatow. It's the industry. I think it will be good if it has a gimmick that is held in check by lots of realism. Superbad, Knocked Up, 40-Year Old Virgin and Anchorman had this. From Variety's synopsis, I see a Ben Stiller/Jack Black movie that's very Pre-Apatow(P.A.).

I was tired of Apatow like 2 months ago. And part of the reason I am tired of it is related to what Tom Motolla brought up and the above confusion: When someone gets all the name attention just for producing, or presenting, it bothers me. Here Greg Motolla made us all bust out laughing (I did enjoy Superbad very much) but everyone thinks "Apatow." Just like when people hear Cloverfield they think "JJ Abrams" when it should be "Matt Reeves." Quentin Tarantino also does this BS a lot where his name towers over all others.

WTF IS WRONG WITH AMERICA???!!! WHY DO YOU LIKE RUSSELL BRAND?? Stop giving him the fame and attention he does not deserve!!!!

Tristan · 1 year ago

just because Forgetting is number 2 at the box office does not mean that it bombed.
what the hell is wrong with people?!

El Bicho · 1 year ago

Yeah, Barry, because there is no way someone could have edited the piece in three hours.

Cole Abaius · 1 year ago

My apologies to the entire Mottola family. I've sent them all Edible Arrangements to make up for the error. For posterity's sake, I originally implied that Apatow directed Superbad, and I was wrong.

But Neil has no ammo to punish me with since I'm already not allowed in the editorial office. Although, Neil already reprimands himself on a twice-daily basis.

It's a pretty good point, although it was un-handsomely raised by Fure, that his name is much larger than his movies. Your proof should be in the fact that I thought he directed Superbad.

And Nish, I hate Russell Brand. You're welcome.

America’s New Morning



As this year comes to a close Americans are feeling the chill of the cold.

Politicians are having parties, slapping backs, and raising salaries.

Through all the dismal predictions of our near future we the people keep pushing forward.

Separation of class continues to last with greed and power it’s driving force.

A struggle for control of the new era is at hand, we the people must take a stand.

One voice is not enough it has to be all of us. Why can’t the politicians see they are no different from you or me. If only they would choose to remember life's one true mystery “love”. As the quote reads “ You may posses many gifts and talents yet love is the greatest gift, without it you are nothing more than an empty clanging cymbal".



We the people must see through the crowd of ignorance, never becoming bitter, seeing the bigger picture. Our eyes forever focused on one goal “preserving America’s legacy and future”. Coming into a refreshed awareness that we the people have always been the true legacy and future of America. Looking to the up and coming administration giving them our confidence and support. Finding faith deep down towards Obama though not all of us a believer in him at first. A smart man with deep consideration and compassion. What a huge load he will carry as the first African American president. He cannot just be good, he must be great. This gives little room for mistakes. Leaving us to believe he has a full heart and clear vision of a great future for America.



Yes, night is around us and will be for a bit longer. Yet morning is closing in to bring us light, warmth, and laughter. Let us all band together politicians included because simply one cannot be without the other. Working together for the good of all, no time for fighting or big egos, instead be humble since pride caused our recent fall. Obama we need a leader by example. Don’t mix into the crowd be a man who stands out. Make every decision from your inner guide to wrong and right. If you lead us with honor and integrity America will follow. Integrity is the preservative so greatly lacking in our country without it how lost are we? May God bless you and all of America today, tomorrow, and forever. Goodnight and it will be a Good Morning knowing Americans are consistently pushing forward.

Forgetting Sarah Marshall didnt tank. It was one of the more successful Apatow's.
