This past weekend,
“Zach and Miri Make a Porno” was on channel 14, and I was reminded of my
undying love for Seth Rogen. I can’t help but admit that every time Seth Rogen
is in a movie, I feel like he’s just some variation of himself. I have a
sneaking suspicion that at some point Seth was actually living in Monroeville,
he and his roommate were super broke, and they actually decided to make some
coffee shop porn, but then accidently fell in love…?*
*plot of movie,
probably not actually an even in Rogen’s life. Maybe check IMDB….

Anyway, to
reiterate that nonsense, this isn’t an entry meant to brag on Rogen’s acting
chops, but rather to gush about my personal, off-color preferences.
One of Rogen’s
first jobs was in Judd Apatow’s show “Freaks and Geeks”. The show only ran for
one season, but if you ever get the chance, check it out. It also stars James Franco and Jason Segel as
losers in high school. It’s a little odd, but if you’re a fan of any of the three it’s fun to watch. The best
way to describe it is as a darker version of “That 70s Show”.
One of my favorite
fun facts about Rogen is that he actually wrote “Superbad”. Oh, and by wrote it,
I mean he started writing it when he was 13 with his friend Evan Goldberg. And
you though Canadians were nothing but kind and polite. Guess again. I don’t
know if this turns you off of liking “Superbad”, or like me, it makes you love
it even more.
All in all, I’ll
see anything Seth Rogen’s in because he just cracks me up. Full disclosure, I even
saw “Observe and Report” and laughed. Not a lot, but it did happen. I’ve officially lost all credibility.
I was glancing through your blog and saw that you had a post about Seth Rogen. On a whim, I checked to see if you mentioned one of my absolute favorite shows "Freeks and Geeks." You did mention it, and I couldn't be happier about that. Seth Rogen is an underrated actor and writer, and I definitely respect him more now that you've let me know he also wrote "Superbad."
ReplyDeleteI personally love Seth Rogen. I actually have not seen any of the movies or shows that you have mentioned with him, but I have seen others which are all great. Pineapple Express is a classic movie. I always find that movie to be hilarious. Also, Knocked Up is always a good movie to watch. Both of these films really portray the ridiculousness that is Seth Rogen. He is even in The 40 Year Old Virgin. Steve Carell is obviously the main role, but Rogen's part is funny nonetheless. I'll have to check out the movies and shows that you discuss above because everything else that I have seen Rogen in has been great.
ReplyDeletePineapple express is one of my absolute favorite movies... Also, can we talk about how awkward I feel about this post after your video...?
DeleteThat video not yours... obviously... duhh
