This post explains why it’s been a while since Will and I saw a movie, and also gives you the chance to vote on which one we’ll see next: Dear John, Shutter Island, or The Wolfman. They all look pretty terrible, so I guess I hope it’s…Shutter Island? I don’t know. Not The Wolfman, please.

VigilantCitizen.com was my second-favourite website of 2009. TheAwl.com was in first place, which is why I’m SO THRILLED that The Awl has published my essay on…VigilantCitizen.com. You should read it.

Last night, Will and I saw Tooth Fairy, and it was not the worst thing ever. Seriously, if you have kids and they want to go, you could take them. I’ve definitely seen more terrible children’s fare than that. The Rock is his usual charming self, and Stephen Merchant manages to sneak in a lot of funny. In fact, just seeing those crazy skinny beanpole legs in what amount to long johns with a fly is funny itself.
But listen. Once again, fucking Avatar won the box office last week (also surpassing Titanic as top grosser ever), plus only two new movies were opening wide, so it’s back. But I really want to see When In Rome, you guys! Please go vote for Will Arnett, Kristen Bell, and LOVE.

So last week, America once again gave me a stay of execution, sparing me Avatar and sending us to Daybreakers instead. I won’t say I wished for that, except in the sense that it was not Avatar, but still, I am going to be careful what I wish for from now until my life ends. That shit was beeeeeeyad.
And now: you can vote for the next movie we go see. Avatar is back on the list AGAIN because it keeps coming in first at the box office, but your other choices are Extraordinary Measures and The Tooth Fairy. Please go vote now. (For The Tooth Fairy.)

Kim [who is currently pregnant with twin boys]: “I was just reading about circumcision.”
Me: “Ah.”
[long pause]
Me: “Controversial issue!”
[longer pause]
Me: “Apparently I’m Larry King?”

So somewhere in my youth or childhood, I must have done something good, because BBC America sent me The Steve Coogan Collection, and Dave and I have been mainlining it since we got back from Toronto last week. I had seen Season 2 of It’s Alan Partridge a few years ago, so it’s been great filling in the blanks with Knowing Me Knowing You…
…and revisiting some of the most brilliant moments from IAP, like…
…and…
And then today, at work, I discovered that we had my favourite moment from Hot Fuzz — which just happens to feature one Steve Coogan.
So that’s why my Coogan Comedy Crush has returned. Hamlet 2 be damned.

We said we were changing format in the new year, and we meant it. Now you can vote on which movie Will and I see, and subsequently recap. Will has stated his preference. I do not share his views.
Fine, I’ll quit being cute: I don’t want to see Avatar. I’m on my honour not to stuff the ballot box in favour of one of the two others, but I can implore you guys to help me out. I hear you can vote as often as you want. Find out!
