Love-You-Man Lemon Scoop

Ok, I know what you’re thinking. Two Jason Segal blog entries in a row? Well, what can I say? I love him, man.

Slappin deee bass, slappin dee bass. I’m, uhh, doin reggae man!



It’s been awhile since I’ve laughed every other minute in a movie. This movie was JUST THAT GOOD.

Jason Segal and Paul Rudd make one spankin’ dynamic duo in this bro-mantic flick. In I Love You, Man, a friendless Peter Klaven (Paul Rudd) goes out on series of dates with the hope of landing a best man for his upcoming wedding. After experiencing more than his fair share of bizarre, awkward dates, he meets a charming, witty and daring investor named Sydney Fyfe (Jason Segal). Sydney is able to bring Peter out of his shell *cue music* cause that’s what friends are for. As the friendship blossoms between these two men, it also starts to put a strain on the relationship between Peter and his fiancĂ©. He finds himself forced to choose between the love of his life and his new found bro. Of course, you watch it all go down in a slew of awesome one-liners and comical jokes!

So I’m checking box office stats like I usually do and the results are baffling me. Why is Knowing doing better at the box office than I Love You, Man? That is whack! Are guys that turned off with the whole bromance notion that they refuse to see it? What’s the big deal with it anyway? Having hung out with the boys all my life, I’ve learned that most guy friends tend to be more chill, have a fiercer loyalty than girls do and certainly have cruder versions of “sex and the city” sessions than we do. Why is it so hard for men to express love to their closest friends when you know that they’d give up their first child for them? Why is it acceptable for a guy to say something like, “I love that dude like a bro” but not straight out say, “I love you, man?” Societal standards are truly retarded.

On a side note, my friend asked me who I would pick if I had an opportunity to pick a date with either Jason Segal or Seth Rogen. Is that even a question – Jason Segal is my 3rd future husband, yo. He has a perpetual tan and loves Disneyland and Muppets – we’d be perfect! I’m a sucker for sexy, smart, funny, California surfer dude types. *swoon*

So, yes folks, this is one bro-mantic comedy you don’t want to miss – especially if you are craving a good laugh. Besides the laughs, it has enough loving to make you all warm and fuzzy. Make no mistake, I will pimp out this movie to the max cause yeah man, it totally totes m’goates.

Muppet's Moose Tracks Scoop

after struggling to write a decent Watchmen review, i bring you this....

they're baaaaaaaaaaack.....

.....and i couldn't be any happier!

wakka wakkka wakka -- hahaha remember fozzie?

Writer/Director Nick Stoller is teaming up with Actor/Writer aka funny-man, Jason Segal (think, "Freaks and Geeks," and "Forgetting Sarah Marshall") to pen the script to "The Greatest Muppet Movie of All Time." holy moly - this is going to be great.

What will the story be about, you ask? According to internet reports, Kermit reunites with the rest of the gang to save the studio from an evil oil tycoon. The film will contain the usual celebrity cameos, clever parodies and funny gags. Afterall, its Jason Segal and Muppets -- winning combination y'all!!! You just know he won't disappoint.

Since I've already confessed my undying Muppet love, I should further embarass myself by entertaining you with the following story. When I was little, I literally wanted to be the glitzy, glamourous and stubborn Miss Piggy. Back in the day, at the tender age of 7, my mom - knowing i was a huge fan by the way i'd stare at the tv as if in a trance - took me to see Muppets Live at the old O' Keefe center. (Is it the Sony Performing Arts Centre now? I can't keep up with all the name changes!!) I was excited for days - it was better than Christmas and seeing Polkaroo live. Anyway, she bought me this crazy Miss Piggy belt that became one of my most prized posessions as a child. I used to sport that belt EVERYWHERE. Yeah, i thought i was the coolest kid on the block. That belt had superpowers! Then, as the years progressed, I learned of PEPE! he slowly became my new favourite character because he says things like, "You tell him, and I will smack you. I will smack you like a bad, bad donkey, okay!" Random and completely like me. I'm thrilled to hear that Pepe will have a significant part in the upcoming movie because he cracks me up to no end. Before you cast judgement on this completely juvenile post, I have to say in my defense, that I'm a huge little kid at heart and ridiculously nostalgic about everything i treasured as a child.
