The How I Met Your Mother Blog

I know this is old but I’ve been ignoring it for some reason:

Jason Segel reportedly is to star in the big-screen comedy “Five-Year Engagement,” which he co-wrote with writer-director Nick Stoller.

Segel… previously worked with Stoller on the soon-to-be-released “Forgetting Sarah Marshall,” Variety.com said.

Filmmaker Judd Apatow is a producer on both “Sarah” and “Engagement.”

“(‘Engagement’ is) definitely an extension of our desire to explore the depth of human misery,” Stoller told the trade newspaper. “If Sarah Marshall (played by Kristen Bell) and Jason’s character had stayed together, this might be the sequel.”

That might not have been worth posting, save for this juicy Forgetting Sarah Marshall update.

Segel’s character in FSM, Peter Bretter, has a blog and it’s not just a little creepy. Check it out, it’s got some hilarious Segelisms. I see a lot of himself in all the characters he plays—his love of Les Miserables, singing into a camera ala Lily’s “goodnight tape”, his love for the occult—it’s all there. Plus, we get these two videos:

Worth noting: www.ihatesarahmarshall.com redirects to the same blog. Could this be a viral marketing stunt where “Peter Bretter” changes focus on his blog just before the film’s premiere?
