Monsters VS Aliens - EDIT - New Question at End of Post

Guess who gets to go to the advance VIP/Press screening of the upcoming animated flick Monsters VS Alien with the newly minted Hippie Liberal Douche Writer Wife?

Yeah, that'd be me.

The wife got the assignment today from her editor - the regular movie guy can't make it. However, this screening isn't for reviewers and an email from the publicist was blunt about that fact. Rather, it is prep for the journo types to do a follow-on "phoner" interview with one of the actors. The publicist contacted the HLDWW today and presented her with a list of 3 actors and she had to prioritize the list from first to last as to who she would prefer to interview.

The list (in no particular order):
1. Seth Rogan
2. Stephen Colbert
3. Will Arnett

So, the question is ... what would be your order and why?

What is so funny is that when I saw the trailer for this I totally geeked-out ... and the wife was stone cold ... she just doesn't do animation. I fully expected that I would have to wait for it to be released on DVD. She is totally relying on me to point out pertinent geek stuff to her and help her with questions - heh heh heh.

This so makes up for the damned handbags.

I wonder if there will be cocktails? Or gift bags?

It is cool to be the VIP film viewing Rhino.

EDIT: OK, the consensus in the comments is that the HLDWW should request Mr. Rogan - Which is what I suggested as well. So, the next question is: What do you think she should ask him during the interview? I'll share all of the answers with her.

    Seriously, you hit him with the right questions early and HLDW is going to get the best interview.

    Although, HLDW may have more to discuss with Stephen Colbert.

  2. They'll give out gift bags and you'll most likely score some sort of drinks. That's IF they want good publicity.
    Yeah, I'd probably nominate Seth Rogan.

  4. I don't know any of them, but it sure must be good to be the Rhino. The free booze should come in handy!

  5. Isn't there a law against living off the glory of a HLDWW?

  6. Um, I am with Lem, WHO THE FUCK IS SETH, GOTH, SITH, LOGANS, whatever th fuck!, and I hope, in the interests or karma being dispensed in doses correct to those that fucking well deserve it, you get a bag of fucking fluffy ornaments and lipstick. Not that I am a sore loser or anything...or have a LONG FUCNG MEMORY

  7. Colbert. Though he probably switches off his schtick for interviews.

    Rogan will be wasted and giggly and will probably try to go the sleaze, so make yourself obvious with a length of pipe or some other sort of blunt object in his peripheral vision.

    Will Arnett I wouldn't actually know from a length of pipe.

  9. @Havock - He has been in a ton of comedies; Knocked Up, Pineapple Express, Superbad, Fanboys, etc. He's also done some other animated work like Kung Fu Panda and Horton Hears a Who. Typically plays a stoner, slacker type - which, from other interviews I've seen pretty much means he is playing to type.

    I edited the post to include the following:

  10. Is Seth Rogan the big guy with curly hair who like shis own humour heaps and heaps?

    Ask him what monster movies he watched when he was a kid?

  11. Ask him if he likes doing animation because he doesn't have to work as hard?

    Was the monster role a chance to break the typecasting?

    Most actors say they do animation so their kids think they are cool, why did he do it or does he have illegitimate kids he is trying to impress?

    Did he try and think english when writing for the Ali G show or did being Canadian kind of help?
