Had there been a Blog@Newsarama back in 2005, no doubt, we would’ve been talking about Judd Apatow’s warm and raunchy comedy, The 40 Year-Old Virgin, and for much more than Andy Stitzer’s awesome collection of action figures (think The Six Million Dollar Man’s boss Oscar Goldman or his pristine Aquaman).
I don’t know if comics culture will play a prominent role in Apatow’s follow-up, Knocked Up, opening tonight with midnight shows, but I can’t wait to see Virgin co-star, turned leading man Seth Rogen and his improv buddy Paul Rudd back in action.
If you’re as stoked as I am about Knocked Up, you’ll enjoy reading this funny interview with Rogen from USA Today and a slightly more somber one from, surprisingly, The Onion.

I’m a long-time fan of this ensemble going back to Freaks and Geeks and Undeclared. Looking forward to it!

I saw Seth Rogen last Wednesday at Midtown Comics in NYC. Couldn’t have been nicer.
