“Is the golden age of Judd Apatow already waning?”
Is it ever. My money is on him and Will Ferrell collaborating on 20 projects in the first three months of 2009.
I will give them this much credit though: at least they’re sticking to comedy.
It won’t take until 2009 – this May’s “Step Brothers” is an Apatow-produced Ferrell comedy. Trailer looks pretty decent, too.
Wow, that does have some potential. I stand corrected.

That’s pretty funny. But the scoring system – at least in New York magazine – is seriously flawed if it thinks that Talladega Nights is a bad Apatow film. I’d argue that it’s the best of all those films, save perhaps for Superbad…
That system is cute and all, but they’re F-O-O-L-S if they think that movies can ever be reduced to math. I think my preference would go:
1. Anchorman
2. Talladega Nights
3. Superbad
4. The 40-Year-Old Virgin
5. Knocked Up
And those are neck-and-neck one and all. Haven’t seen “Walk Hard” yet.
