Box Office Mojo presents a Judd Apatow movie showdown. Mostly just a financial comparison of his five biggest films to date, but worth a look.

Words T9 Doesn’t Know
After using a work-supplied Treo for two years, I had to go back to my college-era LG phone after being let go and having my phone snatched back (not that I’m really complaining about losing a phone that ran on a Windows operating system). Soon after returning to this phone, a phone I actually care for very much, I became increasingly frustrated with its limited T9 vocabulary. Thus here is a sampling of words T9 doesn’t know (apparently it’s main blind spot is food):
- Spinach
- Artichoke
- Bagels (but not “bagel”)
- Texted (ironic)
- Freshener
- NYU
- Mets (but yes to “Yankees”

The Judd Apatow Effect! Finally Complete!
Many years ago I started plotting the connections between Judd Apatow, his frequent collaborators, and emerging comic talents. Well, I talked about that chart for a while, and never really did anything about it. However, after getting laid off I decided it was time to do it. And I’m happy to say it’s finally ready! Check out the thumbnails below and read more about it on the Judd Apatow Effect page. With several films featuring actors and directors from the Apatow family tree released in the last few weeks, ( I Love You, Man, Adventureland, and Observe and Report), the time seems right to look at the scope of his reach and his effect on modern comedy.
Please take a look and let me know if you have any thoughts, comments or suggestions. Also, don’t hesitate to relate any errors or omissions. It’s still a work in progress, and I plan to keep updating it. I already have a list of actors and projects to be added to the Third Level, and it doesn’t look like the Apatow factory is going to slow anytime soon, so keep checking back.
See you later, Joben!

Helloooooo
Welcome to Jumped The Snark! I’ve owned this URL for quite some time now, and I’m finally putting it to use. Hopefully I’ll be able to follow up often with new posts and thoughts and charts (something I was unable to do with my AOL Hometown page, or Diaryland or Blogger). We’re still in the nascent stages right now, so bear with us. Yes!
