    Ben Stiller and Vince Vaughn

    I took my kids to school this morning on the way back I stop at a little cafe for a cup of coffee. I noticed the place is packed. I go in and the waitress that always waits on me tells me Ben Stiller, Vince Vauhgn and Jonah Hill are in there along with a lot of the filming crew. Well as I sit down in a small booth I look up and there is Ben Stiller across the isle from me. Makes for an interesting morning. Turns out they are filming a movie "Neighborhood Watch" just down the road from my subdivision. On my way out they are all starting to leave and I see Jonah Hill. I dont care for his acting, but he has lost a lot of weight. I never did see Vince Vaughn though.

    congrats on an exiting morning! did you manage to get into the background while they were filming? will we have the first sbr member to appear on the big screen? if so then sbr_john should make you an honorary SBR Pro ASAP

    on a related note, ben stiller, vince vaughn and jonah hill? wow, you hit the trifecta, most overated actors in the history of overated acting, their movies are unwatchable yet studios still give them money to make more

    Come on shroom.........they have done SOME entertaining stuff. They don't go for the "Oscar" type of stuff.....it's not in their wheel-house. But, movies like Swingers, Old School, Wedding Crashers, Meet The Parents, and Superbad are at the very least........entertaining and make for a good laugh.

    Georgia recently passed some kind of tax break for the film industry making GA friendly economic wise to make movies. This is the 3rd movie that has been filmed with in 15 miles of my house since the summer. One starred Queen Latifa and Dolly Parton haha quite a pair there (pun intended). The other had Dennis Quaid, Robert Duvall and Billy Bob Thorton.

    It was not really exciting to see them there, but it did make for an interesting morning when your not expecting something like that.

    its not about the movies per se, for example in meet the parents its funny because of de niro, its about the acting, I just find them to be very one dimensional actors, not funny (which is strange cause they star in comedies) and just not enjoyable to watch

    i'd list Made (Vince Vaughn) as one of the most underrated comedies around. top-notch.

    Rent Clay Pigeons and the Prime Gig. I think it will give u a better appreciation of Vaughn's work. Often he is not challenged and sleep walks thru rolls.

    So you were the one giving high-fives to all the bar patrons in the closing scene when Willie Mays Hayes scores from 2nd on the bunt?

    So I was in the coffee shop this morning just after it opened at 5am. Ran into Rosemary DeWitt and Will Forte. I had to look up on IMDb who they were LOL. She looked pretty good for 5AM!
