LOOKING FORWARD TO April
This week I started swimming lessons with the lil' one. Nothing like hearing a toddler scream for joy and fear. I also managed to go to musical improv at HUGE theater.
I listened to a clip on Youtube with Judd Apatow giving a talk at the Chicago Humanities Festival. Apatow is a filmmaker and comedian and was given an AFI Award for Bridesmaids. He talked about his career and where his ideas for movies came from; how he was talking with Amy Schumer one day and how they came up with a whole movie together, and then agreed at one point ‘this isn’t going to work.’ And how he took a different angle by asking her, “Amy, why don’t you have a boyfriend?” via GIPHY
And she had explained her insecurities and weird things she does in a relationships. ( Amy once compared one of her exes to Steven Hawking) Apatow explained how her past became the premise for the movie Trainwreck. (side note, I'm stunned by Amy Schumer's ability to perform comedy while pregnant. Just goes to show women can do anything when they put their mind to it.)
He also talked about Steve Carell and how he asked him one day his about ideas and Carell telling him he had this idea where he’s a 40-year-old virgin and sexually frustrated and Apatow is able to connect, having his own sexual frustrations, and how that later became a movie.
Apatow reflected on his career decisions and how he worked alongside actors like David Spade and Chris Farley and how Adam Sandler lived down the block, but Apatow realized he’d never be as funny as those guys and he didn’t want his acting to be mediocre.
That was my fun week guys, be sure to let me know about yours in the comments below.
