Gallery 1988 held a Judd Apatow tribute art show in Los Angeles last week, and here's a nice little mini-documentary about the event, which Seth Rogen, Martin Starr, and Apatow himself attended. It's a must-watch if you're dying to know who won a bidding war for a piece of Freaks and Geeks art between Judd Apatow and Martin Starr.
"Uruguay kindly requests that Somalia stops pronouncing it Ur-a-gay."
When I think of Annie, I’m reminded of the opening line from the Silver Jews song “Random Rules”: “In 1984, I was hospitalized for approaching perfection.” She tries so damn hard to be flawless at everything she does, from her grades to her love life, that it’s painful to watch. Because she takes so much control of her life, only one person can get in her way: herself. Or, in “Geography of Global Conflict,” her Asian Annie doppelganger.
Did you know that you can rent out Tony Danza by the day to hang out with you and get some froyo? It's true! At least in the world of Funny or Die, where celebrities are always hanging out with humorously incongruous celebrities. Also: I'd buy that piece of Martin Starr art.
Here's the trailer for Save the Date, a new comedy-drama that premiered at Sundance earlier this year. It stars a slew of up-and-comers who you'll recognize from cult hit TV shows and movies, including Allison Brie (Community), Lizzy Caplan and Martin Starr (Party Down), Geoffrey Arend (Garden State), and Mark Webber (Scott Pilgrim). The story centers on Brie and Caplan, who play two very different sisters, one who's engaged and one who's deeply afraid of commitment. The movie drops on VOD November 8th and opens in select theaters nationwide December 14th, so save those dates.
Apparently the second episode of Community's star-studded third season will focus on the world of Model UN, and it'll feature a face familiar to fans of Party Down and other wonderful things: Marin Starr. He'll play their "fearless poly-sci professor and project advisor," and may return later in the season, although that's still up in the air. Harmon's no fool; having tons of awesome guest stars certainly didn't hurt 30 Rock at the Emmy's, so maybe this'll be the nudge they need to finally get some goddamned trophies on their wall.

Every comedy fan worth his or her salt knows Martin Starr. The guy’s been popping up in some of the best comedies going for over a decade now, from Freaks and Geeks to Knocked Up, Party Down to Adventureland. Starr’s latest series, NTSF:SD:SUV, sees his hot streak continue. The 15-minute Adult Swim comedy returns for a second season this Thursday night, August 9th, at 12:15am (it’s technically Friday morning), following the season premiere of Childrens Hospital. I’ve seen a couple new NTSF episodes early because I’m a “journalist,” and I can assure you that Season 2 is just as funny and zany as Season 1, if not even better.

Julie Klausner and Alex Scordelis' wonderful Cat Whisperer series returns for episode three, which just so happens to be an epic two-parter starring Party Down alums Lizzy Caplan and Martin Starr. The same Lizzy Caplan who is staring in HBO's upcoming adaptation of Kalusner's book, I Don't Care About Your Band! Who are you to resist such things? Nobody, that's who. Part one is up top, part two is below.
