Really Behind The Scenes Of The New Paul Rudd/Reese Witherspoon Movie
From the ol' Paul Rudd Google Alert: someone took illicit video of Paul Rudd and Reese Witherspoon shooting a scene for their upcoming romantic dramedy currently titled "The Untitled James L. Brooks Project" in the Adams Morgan neighborhood in D.C. Nothing really happens in it, but that's what makes it fascinating (at least to me). On some level we all know how boring, frustrating, and exhausting it must be to actually act in movies, but for the most part we're not privy to that part of the job. But, man, how much like real work does this look?
I guess I still harbored the naive notion that Paul Rudd's life was all hilarious ad-libbing and riffing back and forth with the Apatow gang, but here's proof that sometimes it's standing around for hours trying to pretend to hail a cab without the huge crowd of hundreds of people watching from the sidelines yelling too loudly and messing up the shot. (Assuming there isn't supposed to be a huge crowd of people watching Paul Rudd's character hail a cab.) Hey, D.C. folks, there are rules for when there's a movie filming in your neighborhood: you try to grab a muffin from the craft services table and then you go along your merry way.

I used to really like Paul Rudd, both as an actor and as an object to lust over. Lindsay has officially made me sick of him.

Not only that, but she gets them to wear a Paul Rudd wig, dims the lights and asks them to say witty things. She calls it 'Rudding'. And why not? Paul Rudd is planet the best.

This is a couple blocks from my house; it inconvenienced me getting home in a cab last night. Best story: A friend of a friend walked up to Owen Wilson at a bar here in D.C. last night and started berating him along those same lines, i.e., "Stop filming in our neighborhood, you're pissing us off." Quite a switch from the usual fawning he gets, I would guess.
Score = 3
Agreed. They made a bus wait for Paul "I would marry him too Lindsay so ignore those haters" Rudd? oh HEALL NO. This is worse than when Margot At The Bodysnatchers blocked off that Metro stop. Celebrities Out Of Our Commute!
