If you're a fan of "Stella," "Wet Hot American Summer," or any kind of absurdist comedy today, you probably are familiar with David Wain. Last year Wain's overlooked comedy inspired by those ten very famous commandements came and went from theaters quite quickly. Now thanks to the miracle of DVD, you've got another shot to see "The Ten," the only film to date to bring together Paul Rudd, Winona Ryder, AND Jessica Alba.
When I called up Wain on his cell recently he asked me quite politely to call back on a landline, only to immediately pretend to be asleep. Read for yourself. Read more...
Paul Rudd can do no wrong in my book. Sure he's great at the acting thing, knocking it out of the park in films like "Knocked Up" and "The Ten" (opening this Friday). But I'm really talking about interviews where he never fails to prove that he's one of the wittiest guys out there. My recent conversation with Mr. Rudd didn't fail to meet my lofty expectations. You can watch the whole Paul Rudd interview here, and see him explain why he hates condiments and feels like a junkie for playing fantasy baseball.
Then there's the clip below where Paul tells me about the part he wants to play in "Indiana Jones IV." Let the campaigning begin!
If you're a fan of "Wet Hot American Summer" (and if you're not, just keep moving along because we're done) then you know and appreciate the work of David Wain. This Friday, his latest directing effort "The Ten" opens up, boasting a cast of everyone from Winona Ryder and Adam Brody to Paul Rudd and Liev Schreiber. If you're in New York, Wain and friends have a cool-sounding comedy and music show you might want to check out.
But in the meanwhile, take a gander at what David did for us. We've been sending him your questions and he's been recording his answers for you via webcam (to watch his previous episodes, click here). In this final installment, he gives advice on how to combat boredom, discusses his political platform, and dances up a storm.
Who's got all the answers? David Wain, that's who! Yes, the director of "Wet Hot American Summer" and the upcoming "The Ten" is kindly taking your questions, no matter how absurd they may seem. All you have to do is send your questions to tips@MTVMoviesBlog.com and we'll do the rest.
Watch below as David answers your first round of questions. You'll find out everything from what Jessica Alba is really like to what David's afraid of. Plus, hear him sing! All that and more...check it out!
In these confusing times, there are few men who step up to answer the tough questions. That, my friends, is who David Wain is. You know him, of course, as a member of The State and Stella and the director of "Wet Hot American Summer." This summer, he's gathered another amazing ensemble for "The Ten." That's "ten," as in commandments and that's "amazing ensemble" as in Winona Ryder, Paul Rudd, Jessica Alba, Gretchen Mol, and many more.
Now Wain is ready to answer your questions about anything and everything. Seriously...ANYTHING. His movies, doo rags, pork, it's all fair game. So just check out the clip below and send your questions to tips@MTVMoviesBlog.com with "Ask David!" in the subject heading. And soon enough, you'll see David back here waxing poetic on his trusty webcam.
