That New Mike Judge Movie Wanted The Best, And Got Something Vaguely Resembling The Best


I was going to see Extract anyway—describing a movie as “a Mike Judge-directed film starring Jason Bateman as a beleaguered owner of an extract plant, in which J.K. Simmons also has a role” pretty much guarantees that I’ll plunk down my $10—but this clip of the film, starring a very special Friend Of Idolator Who Might Be A Bit Confused About My Gender Even Now, has made me excited enough about the movie to almost not mind that the ever-irritating Kristen Wiig will be making awkward-Midwestern-lady faces in it too. Damn you, cameos! You always get me! [YouTube; HT

    This movie looks hilarious.

    On another note, I wish Gene Simmons and Tom Selleck could get together for a Runaway sequel. Now I’m off to find a youtube clip of Simmons saying “I said Drop your gun.”

    There’s no way Wiig’s presence in this movie could be any more worrisome to you than Affleck’s. He’s in the trailer, fer chrissakes!

    That said, the combination in the trailer of shaggy Affleck and “Slow Ride” by Foghat does put me in mind of Dazed and Confused, which I suppose is a good thing.

    MAURA, your distaste for Kristen Wiig is regrettable. Also they need a better trailer for this movie.
