What do you get when you take the guys from Hot Fuzz and Shawn of the Dead, throw them into a movie where they meet up with a real life Roger from American Dad (voiced by Seth Rogen), and have them try to run away from the a Federal agent played by Jason Bateman? You end up with…Paul.
Yup, just Paul.
No seriously, that’s really the title of the movie. I’ve been waiting to hear other people’s reactions to this movie premise and while most have been overly negative, I’ve got a good feeling about this film. I know it’s annoying to have Seth voicing another CG character, but I like to think that if we put our trust into the actors that make this movie up, we’ll be alright.
Look, you’ve got Nick Frost, Simon Pegg, Seth Rogen, Jason Bateman, Kristen Wiig, Bill Hader, and Sigourney Weaver, in the cast and Greg Mottola who did great work in Superbad if you’ll remember. I just think that this trailer doesn’t accurately show what we can really expect from the movie. I will personally wait for the Red-Band trailer before passing any real judgment.
I sit upon my throne as the owner/shogun of this site, WatchPlayRead. But it wasn't always so. I too have had blogspots, I've done other community blogs, I've even written professionally for other sites out there...yet none of them provided the content I had a real passion for.
It is then that I became tired of being a small cog in a big machine, and of writing about nothing but game news after game news article and the periphery that comes from such schlock, like knowing who Michael Pachter and Bobby Kotick are.
I decided to start MediaWhoreNetwork.com and ran up my post count there for about 2 years, commenting about any and everything that I wanted to. I even started a weekly podcast that I feel has come into its own.
It wasn't until earlier this year that I realized that having the word "whore" in your URL might be a bit limiting to my potential audience. I then made the website and its branding move over to WatchPlayRead.com.
