Aug 15 2008Steve Carel and Tina Fey Are Having a Terrible Date
Hey, a comedy starring Steve Carell and Tina Fey? Sounds like someone has been watching the only parts of NBC's primetime schedule that don't make you want to die. This could be good, right? Nope:
Steve Carell and Tina Fey are set to play a married couple in "Date Night," a 20th Century Fox comedy to be directed by Shawn Levy.Josh Klausner wrote the script, based on an idea by Levy, whose 21 Laps will produce. Story follows a couple who find their routine date night becomes much more than just dinner and a movie.
Levy, who is shooting Fox's "Night at the Museum 2: Battle of the Smithsonian," intends the pic to be his next directing assignment.
If you didn't catch that, Date Night is being directed by the man responsible for choking the final breaths out of Steve Martin with Cheaper by the Dozen and The Pink Panther, giving us our first taste of Ashton Kutcher-married-as-comedy with Just Married, and making Night at the Museum and its upcoming sequel. In other words, Carell and Fey will be the slices of bread holding together a shit sandwich.
Carell, Fey ready for 'Date Night' [Variety]

Agree with #3. She and Jimmy Fallon are the reason I stopped watching saturday night live. Whenever Tina Fey says something that is an attempt at humor it somehow manages to offend all five senses.

I despised her and blamed her for SNL as well, but 30 Rock is good stuff. And is a lot of times, not always, far superior to the Office.

I was just wondering, as I read your articles... do you like anything or is your prime enjoyment derived from whining all the time?

I think that anything involving two geniuses like Tina Fey and Steve Carell is going to work out just fine. I'm not so sure that Tina at least would do a movie that wasn't funny, She is a comedic writer for Christ sakes, she has to know what funny is.

No Steve Carell should avoid this and try to convince the others to make us Anchorman 2!!!
