Paul Rudd and Zach Galifianakis Sign On For Comedy Will Written by Demetri Martin 2010-01-13 11:00:59

Christmas in January! Two of my favorite funnymen, Paul Rudd and Zach Galifianakis, have signed on for promising new comedy Will. In the movie, Rudd plays a man in a world where lives are written by scribes in heaven, and who wakes up one day to find that his scribe (played by Galifianakis) has decided to stop writing his life, thus granting him free will. If the casting isn't enough to convince Read more

Movie Review of Taking Woodstock

Like many people who weren't even alive in 1969, I have an irresistible, faux nostalgia for movies that capture the vibe of that time. So while Ang Lee's Taking Woodstock abounds with '60s cliches, I couldn't help but enjoy it. As telegraphed in the title, Taking Woodstock offers an alternate perspective on the legendary New York music festival. The story swirls around Elliot Teichberg (Demetri Read more

Watch, Pass, TiVo, or Rent: Taking Woodstock

I wasn't sure what to make of the trailer for Ang Lee's Taking Woodstock; it seems like such funny material for the Academy Award-winning director of Brokeback Mountain and The Ice Storm. Then again, maybe there is more of a dramatic arc here with comedian Demetri Martin's role as a shy, closeted teen. Is it the story of his coming out, his family's role in putting on the legendary festival, or Read more

Do, Dump, or Marry? Demetri Martin

Do, Dump, or Marry? Demetri Martin

Demetri Martin is one of my favorite funny guys. His surreal sense of humor (plus his "I am one of the missing Beatles" look) is totally endearing. He's even described as a geeky dreamboat by people who keep tabs on that sort of thing. (The guy attended Yale and NYU School of Law on a full scholarship!) Now, add actor to his list of accomplishments. He's starring in Ang Lee's film Taking Read more

Saying "Ladies" — Yay or Nay?

Demetri Martin Joke About "Ladies," What's Your Take?

I love Demetri Martin's bit about how adding the word "ladies" to the end of a sentence automatically makes you sound like a creep. I admit, the word "ladies" often makes me cringe, though some of my guy friends seem to think it's classy. I guess it's better than referring to a group of women as "girls" or "my b*tches!" . . . but still. What say you? Saying "Ladies" — Yay Read more

Movie Preview: Ang Lee's Taking Woodstock

You might see the word "Woodstock" and feel like we've seen enough about the famous music festival, but this trailer for Ang Lee's first English-language film since Brokeback Mountain actually looks like it might have something new to add to the story. Taking Woodstock is kind of hilariously hard to figure out: In the lead role there's comedian Demetri Martin (who you may know from his TV show Read more

You can't resist the cute funny dudes, and I don't blame you one bit. The results are in for GiggleSugar's best male stand-up comedian of 2008, and the honor goes to Demetri Martin!

Notable write-in candidates included Read more
