Firstshowing got their hands on the Judd Apatow directed, “Pineapple Express”-centered Comedy tribute Oscar short, and man, this was pretty much the highlight of the night. While there was no outward evidence of pot, Seth Rogen and James Franco sitting on a couch watching highlights of this year’s Best Picture nominees was very stoner-humor inspired. The bit where they watched very serious moments of “The Reader” were hysterical and the “Milk” segment which obviously includes Franco was pretty damn funny too.
The highlight however, may have been the random cameo from Steven Spielberg’s Easter European cinematographer Janusz Kaminski who entered into the short and pretty much proved, while they didn’t show the duo of Rogen and Franco smoking Jesus Christ-cross joints, the humor was clearly all lit up. We died laughing, so did everyone else. Well, well played Mr. Apatow. More of this every year?
Finally someone addresses the issue of not really knowing who Stellan Skarsgård is! And then they confuse him with Brendan Gleeson. Good stuff.
Somehow, “The Love Guru” makes it to the Oscars. Mike Myers, you dog.
