What Posters Were on That Apartment Wall?
Although many of the young comics in the film are struggling, they can afford some nice, framed prints of classic comedians and movies for inspiration. “There’s a ‘Fast Times at Ridgemont High’ poster up there, a ‘Welcome to the Dollhouse’ and a ‘Last Detail’ poster,” explained Apatow, who said his crew counts the films and their stars as real-life inspirations. “We like to put in posters of people that we like. There’s a giant picture of Chris Rock dressed like Jimi Hendrix on the wall, and there’s also a great picture of Rodney Dangerfield drinking scotch with Redd Foxx. Visually, we hit all sorts of things.” Check out everything we’ve got on “Funny People.” For breaking news, celebrity columns, humor and more — updated around the clock — visit MTVMoviesBlog.com.
