I'm honored...I really am. The blokes from Shaun of the Dead decided to write a movie about me entitled, appropriately enough, Paul, and they got sexy Sigourney Weaver to star in it. I hear she plays my love interest. How cool is that?!?

Actually, that's partial wishful thinking on my part. Yes, Sigourney is in a movie entitled Paul, which is written by and stars the guys from Shaun of the Dead, but it isn't about me...unless I'm a rude, crude, grey alien who speaks in Seth Rogen's voice (I guess my name-alike Paul Rudd wasn't available). I'm not, of course. I'm actually a brown, furry alien who speaks in Paul Fusco's voice.

Anyway, the movie comes out on March 18th here in the U.S. (February 18th in the U.K.), and although I have some high hopes for it, since it's written by and stars the guys from Shaun of the Dead and Hot Fuzz, from the looks of the trailer below, it looks like one of those crappy crude America comedies that we've been inundated with the past few years.

You know, I've been a talking three-eyed monkey, and now I'm a talking alien. I don't know which is worse.

Paul-Paul doesn’t look half-bad. Er… I meant the movie. Seriously though, could look like it could be fun. I think it may suprise us comming from the Hot Fuzz/Shaun boys. There seems something different about it, in a good way.

I’m hoping so. I’m certainly willing to give it a chance. There were just a few things in the trailer that made me groan…and not in a good way.

If Paul winds up sounding like Roger from American Dad I’m going to laugh my @$$ off, looks just like him.

FryGuy - You’re kinda right. He DOES look a bit like Roger, though that’s kinda the standard look for an alien, don’t you agree?

He has a few lines in one of the two trailers displayed above, and he doesn’t sound a thing like Roger.
