The immediate experience of "21 Jump Street."

READ the review for MSN Movies. WATCH the jun­ket video, skill­fully edited to omit the part where Jonah Hill com­pletely shuts me down after I make an attempt at a joke. IMAGINE my rel­at­ive grat­i­fic­a­tion when Ice Cube was so much more acco­mod­at­ing. NOTE that I’ve put on some god­damn winter weight, and that I am now going over to the gym to start work­ing it off.

    Wow, yeah, the look on Hill’s face after the joke is… kind of ter­ri­fy­ing. He looks like Albert Brooks at rest in Drive or some shit. Cool that Ice Cube is will­ing to talk philo­sophy of poli­cing, though! As SUPERBAD is The Fuzzwife’s favor­ite film of recent years, I sus­pect I’m gonna end up see­ing this, and I sus­pect I’m actu­ally going to kind of like it.

    Just star­ted watch­ing, but is this a new prac­tice, hav­ing stars dress up at these things in their costumes?

    I’m in agree­ment with That Fussy Bastard re: the look on Hill’s face. Something sim­il­ar happened with your Denzel Washington inter­view, Glenn– I think you should make it a kind of trade­mark of these things. 😀

    “I’ve put on some god­damn winter weight”
    Apparently so did Hill. I’m glad he did, because I nev­er found “skinny Jonah HIll” to be funny.

    Glenn,
    From now on you should wear your Erotic Connoisseur out­fit on these videos.

    pre­ston, are you talk­ing about the priest suit he once wrote about wearing?

    Judging by this inter­view, Ice Cube def­in­itely fits Cam’Ron’s defin­i­tion of a “snitch”: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wTwipn-Fp_U

    Um, from a Buñuel-ian view… sure!

    “OMG” as they say. It seems Hill is tak­ing him­self wayyy too seriously…all whilst, attire-wise, look­ing like he’s about to break out in song (think: YMCA). Perhaps it was the angst pro­duced from a “former fatty stand-off” between you two? Maybe Hill can mull that over for the “major­ity of his 30’s” and have “every­one say yes” to an extraordin­ary mas­ter­piece we can all look for­ward to in years to come. Channing seemed chill (but he prob­ably nat­ur­ally has a way of not piss­ing off Jonah). As for Ice Cube? He’s the man.
