The Apatow Crew Cover Pixies, Begin The Apatow Backlash

Look we promise, we aren't getting paid to post about Walk Hard. In fact, we think it looks disappointing. But THIS, well this is more like it. Plus, it has "Wave Of Mutilation" in it (whoa indie cred!). Get Drew Barrymore's bf/Mac kid Justin Long, Jonah Hill, Paul Rudd, and The Office's Craig Robinson together for a little Rock Band, and watch the relaxed, spontaneous, meta-tacular fun ensue. Via CC Insider:

It's almost like they made it in response to everyone's palpable onset of Judd-lash, no? Also, this and this were just a few months ago, meaning Apatow's not only making bank, he's closing the window of time necessary to effectively self-satirize. Take that, Jamie Fox.

I stopped caring the instant this clip started. Does that count as backlash?

This gets pretty funny about 2.5 minutes in... Which makes up for the fact that the beginning is kind of nauseating. I thought the movie was pretty funny.

Well, I enjoyed that. It was obvious that the first few minutes weren't serious. I still enjoy Judd's work, and I love his regular cast members, especially Paul Rudd.

i dont understand why every post is a bitchfest. seriously, these guys are just having a good time. do you want more garbage out in the world? more wayans brothers? more adam sandler? jesus.

the second the general public embraces something held so dear by the indie fucks they turn there backs on it. that means you spiteful arcade fire fans. grow up.

fuck.
