Must Love Jaws
[ad]
This trailer mashup of Jaws as a cheesy family movie has been around for a while but I never got around to posting it before.
It was created by Mike Dow & Ari Eisner (Smacky Productions)
I saw Forgetting Sarah Marshall yesterday and whilst it isn’t quite as funny as Superbad, it is still a solid comedy with a lot of laughs.
It certainly signals redemption for Team Apatow after the misfire of Drillbit Taylor and although it probably won’t top the US box office this weekend, it should have legs. It is that rare kind of comedy that should score solid word of mouth amongst young male and female audiences.
The plot is about a guy (Jason Segel) who travels to Hawaii after his famous actress girlfriend (Kristen Bell) dumps him for a British rocker (Russell Brand), only to find they are there too.
The cast have done this video detailing their own break up stories:

Coen Brothers montage
This is a rather impressive montage of films by the Coen Brothers by Paul Proulx – the man behind the recent Paul Thomas Anderson video:
This is video from a TV special in 1969 where Woody Allen (filmmaker and comic genius) interviews Billy Graham (evangelist and the man who helped convert George W Bush to Christianity).
Watch it below in two parts:

This is an old video of Robert De Niro cutting a TV spot for the Tribeca Film Festival and getting pissed off with the director.
Not quite in the same league as the Orson Welles frozen peas commercial, but still funny.
