Oh my god I love this video so much, I can’t wait until all of you watch it. I don’t think it’s a lasting love like my love for the “we kissed on the lips” video — THE BEST VIDEO — but it is certainly an infatuation that will stay with me throughout this Friday, maybe the weekend. I’m building it up too much I think, but whatever who cares, it’s Friday. Interviews with Jesse Eisenberg are always kind of the best, I feel like, because it always seems like he has some sort of mental health issue but in a way that is only charming and a bit confusing. Does he have a mental health issue, do you know? Not that it’s any of my business. Actually, I take that question back. It doesn’t matter and I’d rather NOT know. I’m sure he’s fine. I love him and he is the best and I’m sure he’s fine. Video now!!!!
Hahah, my god, it’s great right from the beginning. “If it’s a movie I’m in — I, –I find it so distracting to words words words words words so many words.” If there’s one thing you have to hand it to Jesse Eisenberg for it’s his relentless ability to be Jesse Eisenberg and his relentless ability to make me love him about it in a way that I don’t fully understand. It’s not like I want to date him about it but also it’s not like I don’t? “Isn’t talking during the movie good?” Hahah, JESSE!
I honestly don’t know if he’s just giving the person interviewing him a hard time or he is just having a hard time in his brain 100% of his life, I’m leaning towards the latter, but either way it is the best. Obviously talking during a movie is never good, Jesse. Nobody likes that, even when they’re watching a bad movie. But you know what is always good? Giving somebody an excruciatingly hard time about something they thought would be very simple. A+, you did a perfect thing.
Also I want to say: This PSA idea is the worst! I assume it’s a thing they have all the celebs do and it is dumb and I don’t like it. As if what everyone wants to hear before a movie is an actor telling them to pay attention to the movie. It’s just like when Gabe writes a blog post and at the top he says “PLEASE PAY ATTENTION TO THIS BLOG POST.” If an actor told me not to talk during a movie I would talk during the movie on purpose because DON’T TELL ME WHAT TO DO.

I believe I know how to make Kelly jealous.
Kelly – a couple of months ago, I was at Union Hall and saw Jesse Eisenberg there. Jealous?
“i live in new york.” – R2D2, Esq.
“”I live in New York.” – R2D2, Esq.” – explainer guy tries again
INCEPTION
Kelly – I’ve never been called Gabe, EVER. Jealous?
DID YOU TELL HIM I LOVE HIM AND SNATCH A LOCK OF HIS HAIR THE WAY I TOLD YOU TO WITH MY BRAINWAVES?
Such a crush, you guys. If I was a judge on American Idol, I would phrase it thusly:
“Gosling, he’s just a’ight for me, you know? But Eisenberg, he’s out there, just doing his thing and it really works for me, dawg.”
True story: I saw Jesse Eisenberg twice within two weeks in two different parts of L.A., and after the second time I thought, “that guy from The Squid and the Whale is stalking me.” COOL STORY.
He kind of reminds me of Abed on Community.
“i live in LA” – cakeordeath
“I see celebrities and occasionally blog about it on MOBFD when I remember to but haven’t in a while but who cares anyway right?.” — also, cakeordeath
“I wish I live in New York or LA.” – explainer guy tries again
exactly….i live in Chicago. my enormous hometown pride is just a cover for an empty pit of self-esteem that i try and fill with pizza.
I’ve lived in all those cities and I will say that’s true about the pizza.
Someone got a new commenter meme!

I have a framed HappyBoy package on my kitchen wall. Amazing.
Things would get REALLY weird if it turned out I had a framed Michael English picture on my kitchen wall.

I envy you.
Look, there are tons of awkward people in the world. We didn’t all steal our schtick fom Michael Cera. He was just the first one of us to be allowed in regular society.
I never used to confuse them before but the other day I *heard* the trailer for “30 Minutes or Less” playing in another room of my apartment, and I visualized Michael Cera in the lead role. Then I was no, it’s not Michael Cera, but for the life of me couldn’t remember who the lead actor was. Good story!
the schtick store called…
That answer was too CERAbral
I loved the interview he did for Conan (maybe?) where all he pretty much talked about were his cats. And how he loved them. And how everyone thought he was weird cause at the end of the day, he just wanted to go home and chill with his cats.
But they weren’t just any cats. He fosters cats until they can get a new home. It was totally adorable and soo awkward — especially if he was pre-interviewed and that was the best material they could get out of him.
Also: I’d like to say that this kid is nervous and filled with ticks, way more like Abed than Michael Cera. Though I have a soft spot for Scott Pilgrim and I do always love Arrested Development, you really could stick a potato in a hoodie and some Converse and *never know* that Michael Cera was secretly replaced, like Folgers crystals.
I get the feeling that he lives in his head more than other nerds, which is why he is so likable. Like every day is the first day someone asked him the very question he’s spent more time thinking about than anything else up until the point someone was asking him about it.
He reminds me of my friends that are amazing at math and just AWFUL at explaining anything about it because they’re just way too excited about the formula or problem or protractors.
that’s such a crazy coincidence because at the end of the day, all I want to do is go home and chill with my cats and jesse eisenberg!
You guys know who his sister is right?
I’m sorry did I just make your head explode and then fall off
My head LITERALLY asplode.
salsa everywhere
Kelly, the problem is giant droopy assholes. I’ve had way too many fantastic movies ruined because of giant droopy assholes. Giant droopy assholes are sometimes bored with movies that you really enjoy and since every giant droopy asshole believes that it is the most important asshole in the asshole universe, they don’t care how loud their farts are.
The Alamo has those PSAs so that when they DO kick someone out (And they do: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JVz-fO7kxcQ) they can’t say they weren’t warned. I like the PSAs and I like the fact that the Alamo makes good on the warning, unlike any other theater I’ve ever been to.
Everyone has seen Scott Gairdner’s impression of him on FunnyOrDie right? If not: http://www.funnyordie.com/videos/bdd03eb870/staying-positive-with-jesse-eisenberg
You’re welcome forever.
“One thing no actor can do, no matter how good, is fake being smart. And Jesse’s one of the smartest actors, one of the smartest people, I have ever met.” -Aaron Sorkin
Sure they can, they just have to put on glasses
I thought that was how hot actresses faked being ugly.
Depends on your sex, duh!
Yep.
In Hollywood — ugly and smart are the same thing

It is never acceptable to joke about ra—oh, shit, you said “rapt.” Sorry. As you were.
Then fucking whisper or I will passive-aggressively kick your seat and shush you to make sure that the movie is also ruined for you, you selfish asshole.
I’m not talking about people shouting at each other across the theater about their plans post-film but I’m with Eisenberg on this one, people talking during the film gives it kind of a community feel.
Hmm, I’d say if it is reacting to the movie in some excited way, great, but that isn’t the kind of talking I ever encounter. A few weeks ago I went to see ‘Tree of Life’ and an old lady couple came in some 20 minutes late, talked loudly about where to sit, and then spent the rest of the movie loudly asking “what is this?” and (amusing, though still disruptive) “is this a movie?”
NOT FUN
On a lighter note, when I saw one of the tobey maguire spiderman movies, there was a kid who had made almost no significant noise throughout the whole thing and about an hour into yells really loudly “look mom, its spider man!” apropo of nothing. Like he wasn’t paying any fucking attention the whole time but now he is and he is INTO IT!
I went and saw Friends with Benefits this weekend and during the part where they have their hands on the ipad and are making their sex friends pact some big deep (possibly drunken) man voice goes: “THAT IS SO COOL.” The whole theater burst out laughing.
So wrong, comments during Harry Potter movies are too delicious to be mentioned.
Someone got shot during an opening night screening of “Get Rich or Die Tryin” at my local theater. Be Quiet or Die Talkin’.
A transcription of Jesse Eisenberg’s Date with Kelly
INT. RESTAURANT- Upscale, but not so fancy you’d be like “Wow, fancy.” You know, the kind of place that does, like, high-end comfort food, but isn’t all pretentious about it. Like Buttermilk Channel. Yeah. INT. – BUTTERMILK CHANNEL. – NIGHT
Kelly and Jesse Eisenberg sit across from each other.
Kelly: Thanks for meeting me here.
Jesse Eisenberg (fumbling with napkin): It’s my pleasure, Gabe. Uh wait… uh I mean… ha ha… uh, Kelly. Ha. Your, uh, name. Kelly. I don’t know why I said, uh, haha, Gabe.
*He fumbles with the napkin some more*
*Kelly stares at her chicken and waffles*
-FIN-
So I recently went to see a screening of the documentary “Buck” which if you havnt heard of it is a feel-good story about a horse trainer who’s really good with horses and makes us all feel better about ourselves and is basically like the best guy. Everybody likes him. You should go see it.
AAAAAnnyway. So we watch basically the whole movie, until like 10 minutes before the end, right at the emotional climax of the film, this lady stands up in the second row and yells “FUCK YOU BUCK!”, and then just starts going to town on him, mocking every line he says. She clearly had some kind of mental issue, which kept itself under control for the majority of the movie, but then something snapped and she couldn’t take Buck anymore. It was really weird and uncomfortable! Everyone shushed her, but that didnt help, and the theater refused to kick her out because “the movie’s almost over”. Totally ruined the movie, and I still don’t know how it ended.
Anyway that’s my fun talking-in-the-movies story.

It’s amazing how he managed to be so incoherent and diffident when asked such a unipolar question. Honestly it makes me want to cry a little bit, as a teenager that is incapable of asking a question directly.
As far as the PSA thing is stupid goes, I live in Texas and go to the Drafthouse several times a month. So far the only celeb PSA I’ve seen play is the one with Will Ferrell which usually gets a laugh from SOMEONE in the audience. It’s not such a bad thing when you’re there.
When I saw King Kong, there was a couple sitting next to me, and the man was talking right up until the opening logo, when the woman he was with (who had a voice like Wanda Sykes) said, “I hope you aren’t going to talk through this whole movie.” Promising start to the film, I thought.
She then proceeded to respond to every single monster in the movie with a loud “EW!” like no one told her this was a monster movie, and she was shocked. She also felt the need to fill in Kong’s thoughts out loud. Like, as he’s tearing through the city picking up random women, she’d say things like, “That’s not you!”
When Kong tears that dinosaur’s jaw off, I groaned just like everyone else in the theater, and she hit me on the arm and said, “Oh, stop it!”
Kelly, I will jump on this bandwagon with you. And I just have to say that Adventureland is maybe one of my favorite movies. I know! It’s just this little cute movie about being young and stuff. And I am a movie snob. But I think it has made it into my top 5 films. I’ve been watching it once a month for. . .almost six months now. I love that movie! Someone join me in my movieclub please.
I will join you! I have been doing basically the same thing and it is WEIRD because it snuck up on me. Like I watched it one night and then it was on tv a few nights later and then I just wanted to watch it all the time.
Brilliant! I sooooo <3 him…and his Conan interview was ad-or-a-ble. This is totally how we should rate movies, with the simple question of "would you, or would you not shut up for this movie?" Black and white, done! World's problems are solved…what's next?
