This is the Trailer for This is 40

April 27, 2012 • Commentary • by

Judd Apatow’s Knocked Up was hilarious because of, among other things, because of its cast of characters. Now we get a sneak peek into its sequel/spin-off This is 40 starring the clearly exhausted yet adorably in love married couple of Paul Rudd and Leslie Mann. What’s it about? Well it picks up along the same thematic lines that were alluded to and joked about in Knocked Up—I’m thinking specifically of the subplot about Rudd’s fantasy baseball league.

The trailer is below. Rudd and Mann seem to have hit a midlife rut, and now they’re going to act in a way to break out of it. It maintains the classic conversational jokes and absurdity that pepper all Apatow comedies, along with a dose of drama and realism. Hopefully it maintains that precarious balance. Oh, also, the trailer has Paul Rudd inspecting his junk with some sort of makeshift, mirrored apparatus.

Also I’m hoping there’ll be more DeNiro impressions. Please God let there be more DeNiro impressions.

The film is set for release this December, and the cast is also reported to have Melissa McCarthy, John Lithgow, Megan Fox, and Lena Dunham.

    After a day spent wandering around the Louvre in Paris, France, studying the idyllic nude bodies of ancient Greek statues, photographer Léo Caillard got to wondering about the nature of clothing. Each of the statues represented the maximization of human perfection—the human body taken to the extreme. But most people don’t have the ideal Greek [...]

    From the Hoover Dam and the Burj Khalifa to the Panama Canal, concrete underlies the greatest of modern architectural achievements. But modern concrete, it seems, doesn’t hold a candle to Ancient Rome’s. A little history for you: the Romans were the first to engineer concrete in mass, and it was upon this concrete that they [...]

    Thonis, the legendary port city that served as an entryway to the Egyptian empire, was long considered to be a myth. The tales of its immense power and vast riches conflicted with the evidence of its existence—mainly that there was none. Cities of such grandeur do not typically disappear off the face of the earth.

    Kanye West says the darndest things. On his unrelenting quest to become his own species of hip-hop artist, he has established a reputation as irreverent, controversial, and unapologetic. Though he makes time for public grandstanding by claiming a US President “doesn’t care about black people” or interrupting the VMAs, he remains mostly quiet when it [...]
