THE CHEMISTRY BETWEEN ZACK AND MIRI Elizabeth Banks and Seth Rogen had amazing on-set and offset chemistry. They really each impressed the other. I think we have been cursed with the adorable stick as I like to call it, says Banks. Weve just been beating adorable over the head. And cute, theres a lot of cute between us, a lot of meet cute as they like to say in the romantic comedy world. Working with Seth was a constant surprise, says Banks. And I mean that on a lot of levels actually. He does a lot of improvisation, so I have no idea whats going to come out of his mouth half the time. But also, he is such a great actor. Hes a really legitimate romantic lead in this movie. I think its thrilling, and its going to be so fun for audiences to see him play something like this. Hes got that sort of stoner quality to him, like he has in most of his other roles, but in this one, he is truly a leading man, and I think thats really special. Former adult porn star Traci Lords was also in awe of Rogen and Banks chemistry. It blows my mind that he is in his twenties, she says. Hes so young, and he is so completely on-the-money, and hes really hilarious, says the former porn star. Ive enjoyed standing across from him, and next to him. Hes got impeccable timing and he is really good. Lords continues about co-star Banks: I think shes absolutely charming in this film. Ill go on record as saying this will be the movie that makes Elizabeth Banks a huge star. I think she is that good in this. From his raunchy reputation, you would think Rogen would relish shooting sex scenes, but his favorite scene to shoot was actually a simple scene with him and Banks, where the two are walking and talking in the snow. I also liked shooting the scene where we walk up to our high school reunion, says Rogen. That was one where I felt very in-tune with Elizabeth says Rogen. They were almost too in-tune on set. The two would laugh off camera constantly and keep the energy flowing. They spent one entire afternoon figuring out every Arnold Schwarzenegger movie that could be turned into a porn title, like TOTAL RECOCK or KINDERGARTEN COCK. Or even just TWINS. The playful thespians have no qualms talking about their first interaction with pornography. Id say the very first time—I mean the first time I saw dirty pictures, like Penthouse and Playboy were under my uncles bed, says Banks. And he had a water bed. So, my cousins and I used to climb under there, slide under there. I think we were like seven. Wed try to get a page out perfectly, so he wouldnt notice. Rogens first porn experience wasnt as playful, but even dirtier—literally. I think I was around eleven years old and I was doing a play in Chinatown in Vancouver, and my mom had dropped me off, and I was a little early, so I walked around, he says. And bunched up in the gutter was a few pages of a porno magazine. It was kind of in a ball, and I remember I walked by it, but I saw there on the street, and I just kept walking. I walked like ten feet and I stopped. I was like fuckI have to go back and get it and so I like circled it a few times like a shark, and then, when the coast was clear, I just grabbed it and shoved it in my pocket, and it was all wet I remember because it had been raining. And I shoved it in there, and I didnt look at it. I went in and rehearsed my play, it was in the pocket the whole time, and then I went home and I looked at it and I remember it was all kind of like wrinkled, and it was stuck together, and when I finally looked at it—it blew my mind. Rogen became a collector of porn magazines, and like most young kids, he slowly accumulated his own private stash. It was pretty high on my list of priorities, he says. But he did not trade magazines with other friends, like baseball cards. I didnt rely on other people for my porn, says Rogen. I wanted my own. SETH ROGEN (Zack) is todays hottest new comedic actor/writer. After the wild success of last years comedic hits, KNOCKED UP and SUPERBAD, Rogen, is a genius at the art of bringing taboo sex themes to the surface in his movies. With skill and wit as timely as the Wilson brothers and an oddly sympathetic style similar to that of Ben Stiller, Rogen has accomplished more in his 26 years than many actors do in a lifetime. The Vancouver native honed his skills by starring in character roles in ANCHORMAN: THE LEGEND OF RON BURGUNDY, THE 40 YEAR OLD VIRGIN and the TV series FREAKS AND GEEKS. Prior to that, he was nominated for a Primetime Emmy for his work on DA ALI G SHOW in 2005. He co-wrote PINEAPPLE EXPRESS with his writing partner, fellow Canadian Evan Goldberg. They also wrote SUPERBAD together. He is starring opposite Adam Sandler in Judd Apatows FUNNY PEOPLE, set for release in Summer 2009.

Issued in Canada the last week of February 1971 on GRT 1233-04. On February 16, 1971, Canadian Prime Minister Pierre Trudeau is said to have mouthed an obscenity at an opposition colleague in the House Of Commons. When pressed to identify what he really said, or mouthed, he replied "fuddle duddle," and a political catchphrase was born. It was all over the news media for a long time afterward. Within two weeks, there were two different records celebrating the incident. Both "Fuddle Duddle" by a group called Antique Fair on Greg Hambleton's Tuesday label, and this record, by some or all of Dr. Music, charted on the same day, March 6, 1971. The House Of Commons record went to #82 on March 27th, while its competition reached #68 the following week. This is a novelty record to be sure, but the B-side filler tune is actually better than the A-side. It is included here. The Antique Fair record can be seen and heard here: http://youtube.com/watch?v=SVot4HRdTUo You can read about the Trudeau incident on Wikipedia, by searching for the term "fuddle duddle." In the RPM Top 100 Singles of 1971 list, published January 8, 1972, The House Of Commons record was inexplicably rated #86, one lower than "Love The One You're With" by Stephen Stills and one higher than "Eighteen" by Alice Cooper. Sorry, Alice.
