I Loved You, "I Love You, Man"

So, Sunday. Yeah.

We did the chores thing, and the running errands thing....groceries and a new clothes hamper.
Life is never dull in Smallville, I tell ya.

Then we went to the movies. We were going to see Knowing although i think Nicholas Cage is a crap actor who has one expression.....Doh! But it looked like a good story, until the Blind As A Bat review came in, and we quickly shifted gears. We chose Duplicity, because I love me some Julia Roberts and what gay man doesn't enjoy a little Clive Owen?

But we ended up at I Love You, Man starring Paul Rudd.

It wasn't a thriller, or buddy flick, chick flick or art house thing, it wasn't action adventure, it was a bromance flick. Yup, two straight men, falling in, well, like. Paul Rudd and Jason Segel.

Jason Segel is funny as the wildman we all know, that guy who lives by his own rules, but, maybe, his own rules are failing him now.

And Paul Rudd is hysterical. He's like the Everyman. And his Peter Klaven in ILYM--why must we acronym everything--is a character we all have in our lives: sweet, bumbling, stumbling, doesn't say the wrong thing but always says the WTF thing. We all have a Peter Klaven in our lives.

Hell, I am the Peter Klaven in my life. In high school, it was written about me in the yearbook that I was a "square with rounded corners." Didn't like it so much back then, but now, well, yeah, that's me, only maybe a little bit rounder if you get where I'm going with this.

Anyway, ILYM, funny, cute sweet story. Not a lot of big guffaws, but a lot of laughs, some chortles, more than enough giggles and a tee-hee or two.

I won't spoil it for you, but I will show you the trailer, and tell you, that this trailer shows some good stuff in the movie, but not all the good stuff.

Oh yeah, and one more reason to love Paul Rudd.

From an interview with Entertainment Weekly:
"I always thought I'd be a really good gay guy. I love American Idol. I watch Antiques Roadshow like crazy. Guys like Oscar Wilde, Stephen Fry, Elton John — they're all very bright, with a razor-sharp wit. David Sedaris — who's funnier than David Sedaris? The Saturday Night Live that I hosted was such a gay-heavy show. But it didn't even cross my mind until after. The family that kept kissing each other — I didn't even think of that as being gay...
I remember doing interviews for The Object of My Affection, and people would say, 'What was it like to kiss a guy?' Like it was such a shocking thing. I said, 'How many times does anyone ask, 'You had to shoot somebody. Was that weird?''
I love gay guys. I feel pretty gay. I'm certainly not the most macho guy in the room."
