My most expected movie release of this year is without a doubt Movie 43.
It really difficult to sum up this film, so let's just say it's a bunch of various comedy skits from the minds of several renowned directors such as The Farrellies, James Duffy, Griffin Dunne, James Gunn, Bob Odenkirk, Brett Ratner and many more.
It's.....very random.
Various popular actors and comedians will pop in it for a scene. Some scenes were filmed like 2 years apart from one another!
You'll see famous faces like Kristen Bell, Naomi Watts, Hugh Jackman, Emma Stone, Chloë Moretz, Elizabeth Banks, Kate Winslet, Chris Pratt, Anna Faris, Halle Berry, Uma Thurman, Johnny Knoxville, Stephen Merchant(!!) and even Seann William Scott!
It's coming on January 25 in the US, but over here I will have to wait until at least July(!!!). So I'll probably be picking up the DVD long before that.
Check out this awesome trailer to give you an idea:
By now you probably already know that, I'm a huge fan of The Ricky Gervais Show and specially Karl Pilkington!
Here's something, a live recorded little bit amongst Ricky, Stephen Merchant and Karl Pilkington.
It was done to promote the then-new HBO animated version of the show.
It's fun to finally see them do the show in person (if you're either a regular fan of either the podcast or the animated version).
Stephen Merchant and Ricky Gervais are best known for the awesome show The Office (and their radio shows) but they also made the equally funny series Extras.
I'm a big fan of Ricky Gervais, and I've been watching a lot of HBO's The Ricky Gervais Show lately.
For those who don't know what that is, it's well worth a look, it's Ricky and Stephen Merchant and the awesome genius that is Karl Pilkington discussing through various random subjects and themes.
And if you're a fan already, it's like his previous radio show/podcasts Ricky Gervais Show and similar to his recent "The Ricky Gervais Guide to...".
Ayway, back on topic, The Ricky Gervais Show is illustrated by these Hannah Barbera-style cartoons.
Here's some awesome philosophical bits by Karl Pilkington:
Here's a bit from Stephen Merchant recent stand-up, "The Hello Ladies Tour".
Mostly, only known to nerds (-sigh-) for his role as Wheatley in the videogame Portal 2.
I love Merchant's own take on stand-up comedy, he's the kind of guy who relies on his audience and bring them on the scene to interact.
This was great,! Fantastic job for both audience members!
The "reliyng on the audience's participation" is pretty funny and in some way is a way to bring a bit of Wheatley's humor's in the mix I'm sure.
