As far as continuing on with the characters from Forgetting Sarah Marshall, they could’ve done a whole lot worse. Like Still Forgetting Sarah Marshall. Or a spin-off with Paul Rudd’s clueless surfer character.
(I’d say some horror-comedy involving the Dracula puppet play might have some promise, but original star-scribe Jason Segel already saw that opportunity and went with the Muppets instead.)
Get Him To The Greek did decently at the box office, but didn’t quite capture the zeitgeist like its predecessor. I remember laughing pretty hard at a number of parts, although I have vague memories of what those moments were.
Which means it’s perfect time to relive the hilarity of Jonah Hill and Russell Brand’s international adventures as they try to make their way from London to the Greek Theater in Los Angeles when Get Him To The Greek drops on both Blu-ray and DVD on September 28th.
All editions come with both the unrated and original theatrical versions of the movie, and seem pretty loaded with extras. The Blu-ray comes with special features not found on the DVD version, including actual auditions, karaoke with “15 outrageous songs” (not sure if any of those are Aldous Snow originals, but I would hope so), extended scenes, and instant access to stream a free, bonus movie — Uncle Buck (yes!), Dazed and Confused, or Life — if you have an Internet-connected Blu-ray player and Pocket-Blu or BD-Live. The special edition Blu-ray and DVD both have feature commentaries with just about everyone involved, Infant Sorrow music videos, documentaries, and alternate intros and endings.

Instead of buying this, pick up any season of "The Mighty Boosh" on DVD and see where Russell Brand ripped off his entire (on and off screen) persona from.
"Get Him To The Greek did decently at the box office, but didn't quite capture the zeitgeist like its predecessor." Forgetting Sarah Marshall captured the zeitgeist? BTW Forgetting Sarah Marshall's box office = $63 million. Get Him to the Greek's box office to date = $60 million. So my question to you is HUH?
Sarah Marshall captured the zeitgeist did it? That is a mighty feat of reality twisting, even for Chud. And I would like to see a movie about Paul Rudd's surfer character.
Is this going to be an ongoing thing where Chud tries to pass off standard DVD/Blu-Ray releases as news? It's just straight up advertising. At least put something in the title to show its just about the dvd. I was thinking this was a contest or something
Agree with #4. I know you have to pay the bills, but don't try and pretend it's news.
To #1 :
While buying The Mighty Boosh is a good idea, it seems a bit much to say Brand his irritating schtick off from those boys, given the time frame and what not.
Also yeah, what's with the ads as articles? Isn't this what the dvd release round upy column is for?
