If you read my article in today’s copy of Metro on Despicable Me, first of all – thanks. But second, you’ll have some notion of what a nice down-to-earth dude Jason Segel actually seems to be – sort of a novelty when it comes to talking to celebrities in Tinseltown. At least when you’re ...more

If, like me, you grew up on multiple viewings of Airplane!, then chances are you celebrated the 30th anniversary release of the zany 1980 comedy this past weekend.
