Wanderlust DVD News

 

Well…the theatrical run for Wanderlust is now done. It’s been a crazy few years of ups and downs. Some wonderful reviews, amazing feedback, and some not so wonderful reviews, and disappointing box office.  All in all though it’s been a journey I wouldn’t trade for anything, and I’m extremely proud of this movie.

 

And still to come is the DVD & Blu-Ray June 19th!

This DVD is anything but an afterthought.  In addition to the theatrical feature in stunning HD, we have put together a boatload of fun extras.  The most interesting one is what we are calling the “Bizzaro Cut” of the movie. This is not a “director’s cut” where some scenes are added back or tweaked.  It’s an entirely different version of the movie, filled with alternate jokes, lines, scenes to the point where there is almost no material from the original theatrical cut. I’m curious to hear what people think of this – it’s only on the Blu-Ray, not the regular DVD. And I definitely recommend you watch the “real” movie before diving into the Bizzaro!

Also included is “Penis Envy” – a mockumentary on Joe Lo Truglio’s experience wearing a prosthetic penis for his role in the film.

AND a special only-on-DVD episode of Wainy Days where I go into the fictional world of Wanderlust’s Elysium commune meet the various characters, have sex with them, and almost get killed.

If that’s not enough, we have lots of other deleted, extended and alterenative scenes, gag reel, line-o-rama, behind the scenes documentary, Jordan Peele doing Obama, and of course the feature commentary with me, Ken Marino, Paul Rudd and many celebrity guests via the impressions of the incomparable Kevin Pollak!

If you ask me, this sounds like a must buy for Dads and Grads.  You can pre-order at Amazon right now.

“Hear the music of R.E.M. and the SMITHS”

My friend Sarah Bell found this old flyer for “Seven Chinese Brothers”, the R.E.M. tribute band I was in during high school.

Note that our warm-up band was “This Charming Band” – a Smiths tribute band, that happened to be the same four guys. I remember spending an enormous amount of time making this flyer on my Mac SE/30.

Here’s audio of an earlier version of this band doing The Smiths’ This Charming Man at the Shaker Square Affair when I was about 15.

Have Many Beers with Me in Austin this Weekend?

It’s gonna be a crazy party in Austin this weekend – I’ll be there with Ken Marino and Joe Lo Truglio for the Off-Centered Film Fest presented by our favorite beer, Dogfish Head. 

It starts this Friday night, 4/20 with a screening of Once Upon a Time in the West along with a SIX COURSE Italian meal and EIGHT BEERS.  This is not a typo! It’s like, say what?! You heard me! I generally get drunk after one beer so this will be a good time to get me to spill gossip about Hollywood stars I’ve tongue-kissed.  That’s at 7pm. 

Joe Lo Truglio, Sam Calagione, Ken Marino

Then that very same night at 10:45pm, Marino, Lo Truglio and I (along with Sam Calagione from Dogfish) will be hosting an evening of Wainy Days up on the screen.  You’ll see a selection of our favorite episodes along with some never-seen material and a preview of stuff from the Wanderlust DVD and Ken’s new web series “Burning Love” (I think)! Plus a ton more Dogfish beer!

Please understand that it’s still not over!

The NEXT night, Saturday 21st – we’ll all be hosting the Short Film Competition with more fun and lots more beer. 7:30pm

All of this is at the ALAMO DRAFTHOUSE
1120 S Lamar Blvd, Austin, TX 78704

Delra Harris

Last week I was flipping through the AirTran in-flight magazine and came across this two-page ad for DELRA HARRIS, a musician — well more than just a musician — who I had never heard of.  I was impressed and wanted to share what I saw with all of you.

Here is the full ad:
