Film: Get Him to The Greek (2010)

Blu-Ray

Review: This is a sort-of sequel to "Forgetting Sarah Marshall", this time centering on Aldous Snow, the rock star played by Russell Brand, from the first film. Jonah Hill plays a new character, a music executive who must escort the British singer from London to Los Angeles for a comeback concert at the Greek Theater. Wrangling the hard-partying musician turns out to be harder than herding cats as the normal journey is turned into an out-of-control road trip filled with sex, drugs and alcohol.

Quotes:
"What you did was very spiteful, but it was also very brave and very honest and I respect you for doing that. But the content of what you said has made me hate you. So there's a layer of respect, admittedly, for your truthfulness, but it's peppered with hate. Hateful respect."

"Would you like me to take the Chiswick Roundabout through Hounslow and Staines?"
"What is this, fucking Middle Earth? Just take us to the airport, okay."

"If he tells you to stick the drugs in your ass, you stick them in your ass."

"You've been mind-fucked before?"
"I don't think so."
"I'm mind-fucking you right now."
"You are?"
"Can't you feel my dick fucking your mind?"
"No, I can't really feel anything."
"See? That's it. That's the art of it. I'm mind-fucking the shit out of you."
"Well I hope you're wearing a condom cause I have a dirty mind."

"I labored under the myth of monogamy for several years with Jackie and it was pointless."
"So you only slept with Jackie?"
"No, I slept with other people but I always told her about it. Monogamy."

"We're gonna fuck these two girls."
"I just got out of a relationship."
"Was your ex a blonde or brunette?"
"Brunette."
"Blonde it is."

"Aaron! Where the fuck are you? I'm gonna kill you! Smiley face."

"Nothing you say makes any sense, I understand that now, you're just a fucking junkie and you're smart so you make your insanity sound good but its bullshit."
