Had the misfortune to see a commercial for this tonight.

What in the fuck of shit? Had anyone involved ever actually seen the series?

Jonah Hill is no longer an actor, he's a cartoon. May as well change the title to Jonah Hill is Incompetent 20-something Fat Guy.

I came in ready to blast your post. But I agree with it. So...

I'm as tired of Jonah Hill being unfunny as Seth Rogan did before him.

Does the world really need a 21 Jump Street movie.... regardless of whose in it?



I think not.

I think the only roll I've actually liked Jonah Hill in (as opposed to wanting to punch him in the face for his "comedy" acting) was Moneyball.

I've liked him in all of his movies tbh. Especially knocked up.

Target audience: Achieved.

Well, basically Jonah Hill is Seth Rogan with a more annoying voice.

That would be because you're their target demographic.

high?

Actually I think I liked that movie because I was a late 20 something that had given up that life and was in the process of becoming an adult.

Also the chemistry between those four (Jonah, the canadian, the big guy from how I met your mother, and the other one) is pretty exceptional. The hospital scene with him describing why he hates hospitals is hilarious, and the deleted scene where he is explaining why Brokeback Mountain is homophobic is also brilliant. A lot of that goes to the writer/director of course, but he definiteyl contributed.

Jonah Hill is a pretty great guy, but I can see where the Appatow ennui would be setting in.

Apatow has a remarkably spotty portfolio. For every 40 year old virgin there's like 5 "You don't mess with the Zohan's". I would argue that his hits are rarer than his misses.

But yeah Apatow is in some ways this era's Wes Anderson. When all of your cooking is dominated by the same spice people get bored after a while, even if the dish is amazing..

I mean, if we're counting his producer credits. Spielberg has a shitton of shitty movies where he's a producer.

Yeah, that's definitely true. But if you're only looking a director credits Apatow has only done 4 movies (all of which are pretty good.)

Of all the remakes to rant about, 21 Jump Street? Wasn't it just a dumb, trashy tv show?

So he's got a pretty damn good track record.

Funny People is a lot better than people give it credit.

If I hadn't seen that ad, I probably would've just ignored it. But the ad makes it look like just The Babysitter with a badge. Fuck that.

You should just keep your eyes shut really tight for the next couple years while Hollywood runs a train on all the safe known properties from the last thirty years.

Yeah to be honest I have no idea why anyone cares or is expecting quality. It's like "oh lawd they gonna remake TJ Hooker they better take this seriously!".

I am totally agree with you. Jonah Hill is too good. I saw this acting in Schmidt movie and like it. He is best known for his acting.

You don't say.
