Jason Segel Performs ‘Forgetting Sarah Marshall’ Dracula Song
  |  @   |  

If you’ve seen the comedy Forgetting Sarah Marshall, then you know the fantastic scene where star Jason Segel performs his song “Dracula’s Lament” in a bar in Hawaii. He also performs a big budget presentation of it later in the film. While appearing on The Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson recently, Segel actually performed the same song with a Dracula puppet in (or on) hand. If you’re a fan of the movie and this oddly catchy tune, you will definitely want to check this out.

Around the time that Sarah Marshall was on the way, we discovered that Segel and friend and writer Nick Stoller would be writing, directing, and starring in The Cheapest Muppet Movie Ever Made for Walt Disney Studios. This is obviously exciting because it’s new Muppets, but also because we can see here that Segel is good with them!

Click on over to other side to watch the video, and if you haven’t seen it, it helps to go to YouTube or rent the movie first and check out the original performances to get a feel for this seriously silly song.

It’s Not Meat, It’s Not Puppets … It’s The Muppets & They’re Coming Back Big!
  |  @   |  

If you got the reference in the title, you’re awesome and we’re putting you right up on the fridge.

Many of us cool kids are children of the ’80s, and as such, one of the greatest forms of entertainment ever to be created, is the Muppets. The Muppets are a creation of the late genius Jim Henson, who built an army of funny and lovable puppet characters who appeared in a countless amount of TV shows, specials, movies, music videos, cartoons, and everything in between. As life moved on and new generations of kids showed up, the Muppets faded off slowly, but never completely disappeared, making delightful cameo appearances on shows and events from time to time. But now, thanks to the massive Disney D23 Expo, we’ve learned that the Muppets are coming back in a big way, and their ready to take over the world again!

Back in March of 2008, we learned that we would finally be getting a brand new Muppet movie, with Forgetting Sarah Marshall team Jason Segel and Nick Stoller joining the Jim Henson Company to write and direct a new movie. Not much else had been known about the project since that time, but Coming Soon was on hand at the Disney Expo and they passed along word that a title for this movie has been made official: The Cheapest Muppet Movie Ever Made.

DVD Review: Forgetting Sarah Marshall
  |  @   |  

Forgetting Sarah Marshall
Three-Disc Unrated Collector’s Edition
Directed by Nicholas Stoller
Starring Jason Segel, Kirsten Bell, Mila Kunis, Bill Hader, Russell Brand
Universal Home Entertainment
Release date: September 30, 2008

At first glance, Forgetting Sarah Marshall might seem like another sex comedy brought to you by producer Judd Apatow and is talented gang of writer/actors. But the film, written by Apatow alum Jason Segel, is so much more.

Forgetting Sarah Marshall combines the raunchiness of Superbad with the heart of 40-Year-Old Virgin, then mixes in some non-sappy rom-com.

The premise of the movie promises a lot of sex, love, and romance, as Segel’s Peter Bretter pines over his lost love Sarah Marshall (Kristen Bell), an actress on a CSI-type TV show Crime Scene: Scene of the Crime, for which Peter provides the “ominous” score.

What you might not realize is that this movie will keep you laughing out loud all the way through as Peter tries desperately to recover from the break-up — and what a break-up it is, probably one of the funniest in film history.

DVD Review: Forgetting Sarah Marshall (Blu-ray)

Forgetting Sarah Marshall
Blu-ray
Directed by Nicholas Stoller
Starring Jason Segel, Kirsten Bell, Mila Kunis, Bill Hader, Russell Brand
Universal Home Entertainment
Release date: September 30, 2008

We are now in the midst of a treacherous tidal wave of new cinema: the lewd, crude, and highly sexual cinema. It’s the kind that produces movies that really hone in on the sexual world that we are a part of today. With each film that comes along in this genre, it’s always the newest film pushing the envelope farther and farther from its predecessors. Just refer to 40-Year-Old Virgin, Knocked Up, and Superbad. Now we can add Forgetting Sarah Marshall, a sexual breakup comedy, to this infamous list. All of these sexual comedies, especially the latter, make past movies of the same genre (American Pie) look like child’s play.

What’s so cool and special about these raunchy comedies are the fact that they’re made possible by the same group of people. This group of people all answer to writer-director-producer Judd Apatow. He has the knack of putting movies out to the public that involve his favorite people to work with. He gives the director here, Nicholas Stoller, his first crack at success. It shows he’s a virgin to directing when the film looses its mirth in the second act.
