  1. I decided to go with semi-glass paper today, instead of matte.

  2. That working title is the movie equivalent of the Hot Pockets jingle.

  3. Oh thank god. I was frightened, honestly frightened. But on this day, October 28, 2010, that dark, oppressive cloud of fear has finally lifted from my soul. It…it is as if I have never felt joy until this moment. On this day, I know what it is to be free.

  4. It takes him two years to get one of those movies done? They always look like they’re written, filmed, and edited in a month.

    “I need at least six months to road-test all the weed jokes. IT’S A SYSTEM!” – Judd Apatow

  5. Gabe’s jealous.

  6. If you want me to stop what I’m doing in order to sit down and read the internet, you have an unrealistic idea of what I’m usually doing.

  7. Starring Seth Rogen as a guy who doesn’t get girls in the beginning but in the end gets laid

  8. Great, now my keyboard is covered in juice :(

  9. I thought his job was directing PSAs teaching women that cooking for your stoner slob of a boyfriend is much more important then achieving your dreams, career ambitions, or finding a kind and handsome man who is on your intellectual level and who respects your ideas and your feelings.
    Bonus, he teaches by example! See: his wife, Leslie Mann

    • semi-related I love Leslie Mann

      • She’s pretty, but Judd Apatow is definitely your boyfriend. Sure, she bears his children, stars in his movies, and helps decide which Brazilians to hire for cooking breakfast in bed, but he turns to you for guidance, emotional support, and true love, which can only exist between two men

  10. In related news, Apatow also started a Twitter account for his dog. We should all be so lucky…

  11. I’m thrilled.


    (sorry, guys. seriously sorry)

  12. I’m thinking of a comment to post now. MORE DETAILS AS MY THOUGHTS ON WHAT TO SAY DEVELOP.

  13. Judd Apatow will continue to eat, sleep, poop, raise his children, and occasionally have sex with his wife Leslie until this project is released.

  14. if it were optional for me to do my job, it would happen so infrequently that it would probably make the news too.

  15. OMG I’M SO EXCITED! I WONDER WHAT THE TITLE WILL BE??? I’M SURE IT’S BEING KEPT UNDER WRAPS AS TO NOT REVEAL ANYTHING, GOT TO KEEP THE FANS GUESSING!

  16. WOW–I did not see this one coming!!!

  17. I consider my life to be the Untitled Jeb Comedy. I heard Paz de la Huerta is attached to co-star.

  18. He should get an MTV Teen Choice Lifetime Achievement Teen Movie Achievement Award for doing his job.

  19. I remember seeing a behind the scenes special on funny people once, and at the end during the wrap party judd apatow was saying to the camera how he doesnt know where to go from here because this is like his masterpiece and he isnt sure how he can top it. Perhaps after funny people proved to be a flop he went into some existential crisis and this is him coming out on the other end saying “I MUST GO ON. THE FANS WANT ME, EVEN IF MY LAST MOVIE AND MASTERPIECE WAS COMPLETE CRAP”

    • He should get Eric bana back. I could watch him recite paradise lost and not get bored looking at his beautiful face

  20. I agree that this is not news.

    MAYBE in the defense of this story is the fact that Judd Apatow releases a book tomorrow Published through McSweeny’s. It has stories he has picked from greats like Jon Stewart and Conan Obrian (Which I am actually glad is continuing to do his job….very soon!)
