JESSE EISENBERG’S “THE END OF THE TOUR” IS EASY TO DISMISS – BUT DON’T

AG079454_06cut

The description of Jesse Eisenberg’s new movie is off-putting, to say the least. The film, “The End of the Tour,” is described as being about a Rolling Stone journalist following a successful author for the final days of his book tour in the Midwest in the winter. In other words, a prolonged conversation between an interviewer and his subject – and we’d never heard of either of them. But what a SURPRISE! Jesse Eisenberg is perfectly cast as the admiring Rolling Stone reporter and Jason Segal is a REVELATION as the quirky and sensitive author. It takes place in the mid-nineties and this movie perfectly captures a moment in time. It starts out as two smart guys talking and becomes unexpectedly touching as a fleeting friendship develops. That’s all we can say. This movie has to be seen to be appreciated.

SEX TAPE: HOW DUMB CAN A MOVIE BE?

sex-tapecut

“Sex Tape” has to be one of the worst movies we’ve ever seen. It’s the writers’ fault – not the actors. Cameron Diaz and Jason Segal valiantly try to make sense of truly embarrassing dialog. Watching it, we couldn’t help but cringe and feel sorry for them and their careers. The so-called humor of the movie is unrelentingly vulgar and lacking in imagination. Has the Melissa McCarthy influence of diarrhea jokes and profanity derailed the future of comedic movies forever? If we hadn’t seen “Magic in the Moonlight” recently we might have given up hope of laughing in the movies again. Fortunately Woody Allen wrote a truly clever and witty movie – see that one instead.

DID DRINKING CAUSE JASON SEGEL AND MICHELLE WILLIAMS TO BREAK UP, OR DID THE BREAK-UP CAUSE JASON TO DRINK?

As soon as we heard that comic Jason Segal appeared at an alcoholics Anonymous meeting last month, a lightbulb went off. THAT might explain why Michelle Williams and Jason split up. Before the February split they looked like a deliriously happy couple. But Michelle has a child, Matilda, and it’s possible that Jason’s party antics worried her. Granted, they live on two different coasts, but they also have flexible lives. Then we thought some more and it occurred to us that Jason might have been so devastated by the split that he took to the bottle. Either way, we’d like to see him clean up and win her back.

LONG DISTANCE DOESN’T WORK FOR MICHELLE WILLIAMS AND JASON SEGAL

What a disappointment! It looks like Jason Segal and Michelle Williams have broken up, after keeping company for a year. They were SUCH a cute and surprising couple. You could just imagine Jason thinking “How did I get so lucky?” And Michelle loved the way Jason and her little girl Matilda got along. According to US magazine the fact that Michelle and Matilda lived in Brooklyn and Jason filmed his TV series “How I Met Your Mother” in Los Angeles was the reason for the split- they couldn’t handle the long distance. It’s a shame.

JASON SEGAL AND MICHELLE WILLIAMS: BICOASTAL ROMANCE

They’re inseparable in both New York and Los Angeles. Michelle Williams and Jason Segal picked up Matilda at school and took her out for organic ice cream in Studio City. The threesome spent much of the summer together in New York. “How I Met Your Mother” star Jason has never looked better – he looks healthier and doesn’t dress so much like a sloppy bachelor any more.

JASON SEGAL AND MATILDA ARE GETTING TO KNOW EACH OTHER

We could tell that Jason Segal, 32, was crazy about Michelle Williams, 31, but now it’s very apparent that she is taking him quite seriously. Michelle doesn’t introduce her boyfriends to her 6 year old daughter Matilda (her father was Heath Ledger) until she’s sure about her relationship. Jason and Matilda hit it off like gangbusters. He makes her laugh as much as he does her mother. The three of them saw “Jersey Boys” together on Broadway and Jason took Matilda out for breakfast over the weekend.

JASON SEGAL: ALERT THE FASHION POLICE!

That guy in the ridiculous outfit walking on the Santa Monica beach turned out to be “Forgetting Sarah Marshall” star Jason Segal. He’s filming another movie, “I Love You, Man,” and it must be another romantic comedy because an actress was yelling insults at him as he passed her on the sand. Ugg style boots worn with Hawaiian shorts and a wool overcoat aren’t exactly the way to a woman’s heart.

GET READY! HERE COMES JASON SEGAL NUDE AGAIN!

sarahcutmarshall-
The jaded LA audience actually squirmed in their theater seats at the premier of “Forgetting Sarah Marshall” and that doesn’t happen often. What made them uncomfortable was the abundance of full frontal male nudity provided by Jason Segal. Our source at the premier said that Jason appears at least seven or eight times in the movie in scenes where he’s TOTALLY naked. This R rated movie is not your typical date movie, but despite the exhibitionism, the crowd really liked it.
