  • Judd Apatow Feels Bad for Wife Because He’
    Celebrity News: Judd Apatow Feels Bad for Wife Because He’s a ‘Disgusting Man’ By Meghan Fitzgerald Judd Apatow, 45, writer, co-producer, and director of This is 40, said he sees himself in his characters Paul Rudd, and Leslie Mann. Apatow and Leslie Mann, a real life married couple know the dilemmas of marriage. Apatow talks with People, stating that he “Relate[s] to just being a disgusting man and feeling bad that my wife even has to be around.” Even after problems after a 16-year relationship, the couple remains in love with each other, and loves working together more than anything. What are some ways to bridge the gap between genders in your relationship? Cupid’s Advice: From the beginning of time, men and women have been looked at as two different people, not equals. This is present in relationships, the strong gap between men and women. It is commonly said that men make more money than women, that men are more responsible, that they’re the ‘man of the house.’ Problems and trouble loom from these accusations. Cupid has some advice on how to keep this out of a relationship: 1. Respect: With genders in a relationship, each person needs to respect the other. Even if the man makes more money than the women, he needs to respect that he does not have all the power. Money or power does not show that one is better than the other. Also, women need to respect that men try their best to balance work and their family. Although this may not always be the case, women have to be aware that their partner still loves them.

Unlike when I'm in the recording studio, while on stage at the Audies Gala I can wear a watch, have my stomach growl, jiggle pocket change, trip over my own tongue, laugh at my own jokes, completely screw up my lines and not have to worry about repeating myself-- again and again. It is an honor to be a part of recognizing all the incredible audio talent in the industry who do the hard work of controlling themselves in the studio every single day."

  • Judd Apatow Asked If He Could Take a Pass at His Profile
    Man at His Best The Profile By ANNA PEELE Filmmaker, producer, and writer Judd Apatow asked if he could take a pass at his profile. We thought, What could go wrong? Instructions to meet the man who will lead me to Judd Apatow specify only that he can be found “under the rainbow,” which turns out to be a 30-ton 100-foot-high $1.6 million homage to The Wizard of Oz� On the way, I make eye contact with a goat dressed as a unicorn. But the strangest thing about Sony Pictures Studios is the state of the of- fice occupied by Judd Apatow, pro- ducer of Anchorman and Girls, au- teur behind the filmsKnocked Up and The 40-Year-Old Virgin, and arguably the man who is better than anyone but Lorne Michaels at making co- medians famous. Apatow’s work- place is barren, with lurid lighting and views only of nearby walls. He likes this barren office, though. He has a nicer one in Santa Monica, but it’s packed with the by-products of shaping the entertainment industry for three decades, and Apatow want- ed something unburdened. The new place, which would be totally generic without the whiteboard casually fes- tooned with names like “Louis C.K.” and “Chris Rock,” comes with a Net- flix deal that has Apatow produc- ing the upcoming Pee-wee Herman movie and two guaranteed seasons of Love, a new romantic sitcom, with writer and actor Paul Rust. Apatow has described himself as looking like “the next abusive alcoholic stepfather in Boyhood�” But with his ’90s rock-critic outfit (unbuttoned plaid shirt over silk- screened T, jeans, and sneakers), Apatow is sloppily handsome.

  • Women in Comedy
    WOMEN IN COMEDY BACKGROUND: MAKERS: Women In Comedy tracks the rise of women in the world of comedy, from the “dangerous” comedy of 70s sitcoms like Norman Lear’s Maude to the groundbreaking women of the 1980s American comedy club boom and building to today’s multifaceted landscape. Today, movies like Bridesmaids break box office records and the women of Saturday Night Live are often more famous than their male counterparts, but it didn’t start out that way. Early breakout female comics had to keep their jokes within the safe context of marriage, motherhood, and a man’s world. But they still found a way to be subversive. As Joan Rivers puts it, “I was furious about having to get married… It all comes out on stage. So that’s what I do onstage. I really tell them the truth.” Soon comedy became a vehicle for women to take on some of the most sensitive and controversial issues of the day. On television in the 1960s, entertainers like Carol Burnett and Mary Tyler Moore illuminated the core issues of feminism with humor that was both sly and truthful. But it took a powerful male producer to bring the most provocative feminist characters onto the screen. Maude, who Lear introduced to audiences in 1971, was a feminist firebrand on her fourth husband, strong and independent with a razor sharp wit. “When Maude was on the air,” Lear tells us, “I used to get letters from the First Lady, Betty Ford…. And she always signed every letter ‘Maude’s #1 fan’.” When Maude chose to have an abortion at 47, religious groups protested, but the episode was watched by 65 million Americans.

Bambach August 2016 © 2016 Nicholas D. Bambach. All Rights Reserved. 2 This thesis titled In the Company of Modern Men: Representations of Masculinity in Contemporary Hollywood Comedies by NICHOLAS D. BAMBACH has been approved for the School of Film and the College of Fine Arts by Ofer Eliaz Assistant Professor of Film Elizabeth Sayrs Interim Dean, College of Fine Arts 3 ABSTRACT BAMBACH, NICHOLAS D., M.A., August 2016, Film In the Company of Modern Men: Representations of Masculinity in Contemporary Hollywood Comedies Director of Thesis: Ofer Eliaz This thesis discusses the increasing visibility of masculine identity in contemporary Hollywood comedies. I examine how shifting developments in economic, societal, cultural, and gender relations impacted the perception of cinematic masculinity. The men, more specifically white and heterosexual, in these films position themselves as victims and, as a result, turn to alternative outlets to ease their frustrations and anxieties. In order to broadly survey the genre of the past two decades, I focus on three consistently popular character tropes in Hollywood comedies: slackers, office workers, and bromantic friendships. All the male characters discussed throughout the thesis are plagued by their innermost anxieties and desires that compromise their gendered identities. However, these films resort to a regressive understanding of masculinity and functions within the dominant heteronormative structures. This thesis demonstrates how Hollywood comedies present a contradictory and multifaceted image of modern masculinity.

  • Harry Potter's Tom Felton Accused of Fathering a Secret Love Child
    Harry Potter’s Tom Felton Accused of Fathering a Secret Love Child Harry Potter and the Deathly Hollows stars are used to spending time on the red carpet, but now they’re under fire in the tabloids. Seven male stars from the Harry Potter film series have been accused of fathering a secret love child via an anonymous postcard published on the blog, Postsecret.com. Actor Tom Felton, who plays Draco Malfoy in the Harry Potter series, said via Twitter, “My friend just found this on the web! Just to confirm that I can be cancelled out of this equation.” Oliver and James Phelps, who play George and Fred Weasley respectively, also denied the accusation, but Daniel Radcliffe, Rupert Grint, Jason Isaacs, and Alan Rickman have yet to comment. How do you handle secrets in a relationship? Cupid’s Advice: Truth and honesty are necessary for a healthy relationship, but sometimes sharing secrets seems to do more harm than good. Cupid offers some thoughts on how to spill unsavory surprises to your partner: 1. Consider the situation: If you’re as shocked to learn about something as Tom Felton was, look at the big picture. Figure out if your partner is likely to hear the news, if the information will affect your relationship, and if it’s something that should be taken seriously. 2. Put yourself in his shoes: Think about how you would take this news if it were the other way around. Use your partner’s personality as a guide for breaking the news. 3. Establish a policy of full-disclosure: If your secret isn’t a surprise to you like it was to Tom Felton, take this opportunity to re-establish the trust in your relationship.

Settle in for a summer of ‘reboots’ at the box office By BILL GOODYKOONTZ Gannett Chief Film Critic Published: Wednesday, May 2, 2012 at 1:37 p.m. Among the many big-budget blockbusters on tap for this summer is “The Amazing Spider-Man,” which in movie jargon is undergoing what is referred to as a “reboot.” Reboot: A different take on a well-known idea. That’s not surprising. Superheroes are a summer staple, and we’ve already seen a gaggle of them gathered in “The Avengers” so far. And of all genres, the superhero film is best suited for rebooting and remaking. So, fair enough. Except ... wait a second. Didn’t Spider-Man just get a reboot 10 years ago? Yes, yes he did, in Sam Raimi’s film, which was followed by two sequels. So now he needs another? What’s the shelf life of a character, anyway? And how often do we need these things? “Need” isn’t the operative word here. Studios continue to give us what they think we want, and that’s what we get. And while a steady stream of remakes and reboots may grow tiresome and suggest a Hollywood bereft of ideas, one can look no further than Christopher Nolan’s “Batman” films to see that reboots can bear worthwhile fruit.
