Judd Apatow On AMC's "Storymakers": "There Is A Certain Amount Of Penis America Can Handle In 2009"

Tonight at 10, Apatow, Tom Cruise, Cameron Diaz, and Nick Cassavetes sit down with hosts Peter Guber and Peter Bart to discuss film. And, apparently,male genitalia.

We find Apatow's statement to be true, and profound. Of course, then the question is: what is the proper amount of penis?

We've spent our whole lives trying to figure that out. Oh, you were expecting an answer? Okay, hold on...

Seven. Seven what? Inches? Minutes? Penises?

No, just seven.

"Ghostbusters 3" To Rescue Stapler From Protoplasmic Slime

After many years of trying, Columbia Pictures may finally be getting a second sequel to Ghostbusters in gear -- written by none other than Lee Eisenberg and Gene Stupnitsky, executive producers of The Office.

Should we be worried that these creators of subtle Office shenanigans might not be able to handle the oversize zaniness of Bill Murray, Dan Aykroyd and the Stay Puft Marshmallow Man? Probably not. The pair also just wrote Year One, an epic historical comedy directed by Harold Ramis, the original cowriter and costar of, yes, Ghostbusters.and Ghostbusters II.

By the way, we wouldn't be surprised if Freaks and Geeks creator-turned-movie mogul Judd Apatow somehow got mixed up in all this, too. He produced Year One, and Akroyd recently stated that it would be great if he and protege Seth Rogen were involved in the Ghostbusters reboot.

So, heck, now that everybody in comedy could be participating in this thing, why not Jack Black, too? He stars in Year One -- and as the following clip from Be Kind, Rewind demonstrates, he's extremely familiar with the original flick.

Would You Watch a "Veronica Mars" Movie?

Eh. Maybe. The jury's still out. We liked Veronica Mars. A bit cheesy, but we embraced it. Show-creator Rob Thomas told Entertainment Weekly that he and Kristin Bell (aka Veronica herself) have discussed taking the show to the big screen.

Best case scenario: the quirky characters and old-school gumshoe plots will be magic with a film budget behind them. Worst case scenario: the pre-movie previews (inevitably including the next product of the Judd Apatow film factory) will be the best part of that trip to the theater. We're keeping an open mind.
