New York City geeks were recently lined up around the block for five hours in anticipation of one of Geek Culture’s patron saints. Simon Pegg, star of fan-favorite films Shaun of the Dead, Hot Fuzz, the J.J. Abrams reboot of Star Trek, and the cult-hit television show, Spaced, made an appearance at the Strand Bookstore as part of his U.S. tour to promote the American release of his new book, Nerd Do Well.
I Love You, Man
“…delivered a load of laughs onto the smiling faces of the audience attending the SXSW premiere…”
I Love You, Man is the latest film in the ever-growing “bromance” genre. Paul Rudd plays Peter Klaven, a man head over heels in love. But after proposing to his sweetheart, he realizes that he is sadly lacking in the male friend department. So, in a rush to secure a best man for his wedding, he seeks out a dude to fill the coveted spot. After a series of hilariously uncomfortable “man dates,” our hero meets Sydney Fife played by Jason Segel. The two attempt a friendship built on a love of Rush, real estate and conversations about BJs. The whole affair is filled with enough single, double and triple-entendres for an adult film featuring an all-male cast.
