@OldTowneTavern: Oh god yeah,I forgot about that scene.I think maybe because I wanted to instantly scrub it from my mind.They really lost me after that.I just had no words.I mean if it was based on a real-life happening, ok, god, how embarassing, but to make it up?For filmic purposes?Either way, it's just not funny.In fact, periods aren't funny.Simon Pegg also has a particularly horrific take on a period joke and that really made me go off him as well because he told it to Dawn French with such glee.It's on YouTube and it''s awful.Sigh.Moving on..

@Wendy_Kroy:
I positively hate viral marketing!

But it doesn't work with me, I feel used & thrown under the train like one of Spitzer's hookers & get pissed off when I find out what I was used for!

And while I like most of the actors in 'Sarah Marshall', this is Jason Segel's first writing job & Nicholas Stoller's first directing job.
Stoller has been responsible for shit like the idiotic remake of 'Fun With Dick and Jane'.
That's not a great track record to go on.

Not to mention "Returning of the Jedi".

Dear Hollywood:
When the first word in your movie title is a gerund, I know it's going to suck.

Just a tip.

@OldTowneTavern: So true...and I really can't tell you how many times I've wowed a group of drunk Fratties Geeking Up a Pile of Booger Sugar with my stirring rendition of "These Eyes."

What misogyny in the Apatow assembly line? Look girls rub their periods on guy's legs constantly and it's high time we were shamed out of this lewd behavior. It's courageous, I say.

I, for one, am not over trees. I am getting bored of the well-termed 'almost misogyny' of the 'Apatow assembly line'. That man is the reason we need another Bend it Like Beckham.
And I am waiting for a teen movie about a girl who wears a suit to her bat-mitzvah.

I'm more interested in seeing that tree than I am that movie.

@Greasy Thumb Guzik: That's kind of the point. By searching for this stuff online, you become actively engaged in their marketing efforts, which is the golden ideal for all sales campaigns.

Anyway, the word on Sarah Marshall is that it's actually pretty good. Variety loved it, and the buzz from SXSW was positive, too.

This clarifies the myth that they're more environmentally sensitive in SF. Will the spoofster return to this tree to remove the sign and tape, or leave it to rot in the rain. Viral "marketing" and it's aftermath are generally a blight.

Okay, this has been driving me crazy since those "Sarah Marshall" ads started going up:

Grammatically speaking, shouldn't there be a COMMA before Sarah Marshall's name, as in, "I'm so over you[COMMA] Sarah Marshall" or "My mother never liked you[COMMA] Sarah Marshall"?

I'm all for a good viral marketing campaign, and I am very happy to see Jason Segel get himself a starring roll in something, but please -- can't we at least use proper grammar in the only things most American's actually read? (Billboards and bus ads...)

I don't get teaser ads anymore.
All you have to do now is got to the Interweb & Google the stupid phrases in the tease & find out what it is.

And Sarah Marshall looks to be a major flop!

It's really saying something when a movie can annoy the shit out of me before I've even heard of it.
