Neil Patrick Harris filled in for Regis Philbin on the day Ryan Reynolds was visiting. Friends in real life, the interview had a great give-and-take rhythm. I’m a huge fan of Reynolds, unabashedly so. I saw Definitely, Maybe and it’s actually very good.

Kudos to reader Misha who had some very nice things to say about the site, the show, and recommended I check out this clip. Thanks Misha!

PS. Who’s that annoying trophy wife sitting to NPH’s left? She reminds me of the woman at the bar who always follows up the funny thing someone says with the most boring statement you’ve ever heard and is met with only silence.

PPS. Reynolds is rumored to have been cast as Deadpool in X-Men Origins: Wolverine. I’m all a twitter about the film since it also stars will.i.am, Liev Schreiber, and Taylor Kitsch (Gambit!!) It’s also directed by Gavin Hood (who’s been all artsy up till now making films like Tsotsi.) Hoo-ray!

PPPS. I wish there was a clip with better audio than this. At first, I thought maybe there was just a loud A.C. running in the background but it’s almost rhythmic which makes me think it’s actually some evil German techno beat.

He recently appeared on Sesame Street as “The Shoe Fairy”, he attended the Victoria Secret Fashion Show with Jeremy Piven, he loves puppets, and he does a mean Regis Philbin impression.

He seems like a really funny guy. I’d have a beer with him.

Do you know how you can tell it’s been a slow time for How I Met Your Mother news? Normally I wouldn’t post about the HD release of an early 90s cult indie film that happens to star Neil Patrick Harris.

The film, called “Animal Room“, stars Neil Patrick Harris and Matthew Lillard. It will be released by Vanguard Cinema on HD DVD this April 22. Some more info, via highdefdigest:

Starring Neil Patrick Harris and Matthew Lillard, the dark crime thriller ‘Animal Room’ saw only a limited theatrical release back in 1995 but has since amassed a small cult following on video. First released on standard-def DVD back in 2001, Vanguard has set an April 22 street date for the HD DVD.

I’ve never heard of this movie before today. It doesn’t sound very good to me though. Has anyone seen it? I found a montage of clips on youtube (see below) to job the memory.

Hopefully the strike will end so we can start talking about new episodes of the show again.

Warning: this trailer is restricted and has naughty language and some nudity. There’s another trailer thats a bit cleaner (and, to me, better) here.

What do we think? I’ve actually never seen the first one. It looks like Neil Patrick Harris is a riot in the movies though. I’m a big John Cho fan so I might have to check this out.

Harold & Kumar Escape from Guantanamo Bay comes out on April 25, 2008.

I posted this a long time ago but it’s been popping up on the Internet and other blogs lately for some reason. It’s awesome enough to warrant a re-post.

I know the readers here are classy so I’m sure we’re all sophisticated fans of Broadway productions. In case you aren’t familiar with Les Mis, I cover it in more detail in the original post.

Enjoy.
