4/18/08: Closed, Pretty Much

We're trying to prepare everyone for our upcoming vacation—which also means we have to prepare, so we're too busy beating early deadlines to post today. Forgetting Sarah Marshall is in theaters, though, and you might be wondering if it's yet another in a series of grown-up, vaguely moralistic comedies from Judd Apatow. That's the writer/producer/director who was also behind Knocked Up, Superbad, and our beloved Walk Hard. Forgetting Sarah Marshall has a pleasant angle with its tale of a nice American guy whose TV-star girlfriend dumps him for a vapid rock star prone to slogans such as "Sodomize Intolerance." Actually, as you can see in the above graphic, that case is better made by the international advertising campaign. The American ads have been kind of irritating.

And while Forgetting Sarah Marshall goes on for a little too long, it ends with a spectacle that you won't see in any other theater at the multiplex this weekend. Also, the film stars and is written by one of the cast members from How I Met Your Mother, so that's an encouraging sign.

Postings will likely resume on Monday, but, seriously, there's a vacation coming up real soon.
