Just saw it for the first time. Could be the oddest appearance of a Pearl Jam band member in any medium ever.
Did Ed contact the director or did they call him up?

If you hate something, don't you do it too
The band in SINGLES watching the bees is the oddest.
A friend, he called, I didn't mention a thing. The last thing he said was, "Be sound". Sound. I contemplated an awful thing, I hate to admit. I just thought those would be such appropriate last words. But I'm still here.

hahaha yeah I noticed that
(besides Ed's part)

I had low expectations going into it, but actually got quite a few chuckles out of it. And Pam from The Office is smokin' as his wife!!!
that was great with he bees, ed's face was priceless
Loved the bees! Bee movies have always meant another thing to me since...
Well. You should've seen him renact a part of Dewey's in that film on his solo show in Vancouver... Now that was priceless!

Because he was trying very hard not to laugh? That made me giggle when I saw it in theatres a hundred years ago...
I can say, without hyperbole, that it is the best movie of all-time. It makes The Godfather look like utter crap.
Seriously, I love this movie.
for the least they could possibly do
The version I saw didn't even have that line in it?
Thought that was odd.
Wrong. John C. Reilly might be the greatest comedic actor of our generation. Maybe of every generation. If the Earth were going to be hit by a giant meteor, and I had a seat on the only rocket ship out, I would give it up to John C. Reilly, so that future generations could enjoy his work.

By the time the movie came out, it was as though they took all the funny out of it. And I was let down. I clearly had way too high of expectations.
There's shitloads of funny shit that was never in the trailer. It's one of those movies where you pick up new shit with every successive viewing.
What makes the movie so funny to me is the "wink-nod" self awareness it has. For instance, none of the actors playing famous musicians look like who they are supposed to look like, so Dewey has to refer to them by their full name (and sometimes affiliation) so the audience gets the joke.
"Great set, Buddy Holly."
"I think you're right, George Harrison of the Beatles."
Nobody talks that way in real life. Which, to me, is part of what makes that movie funny, too.
Also, at the beginning ... when 40-something John C. Reilly is playing a 15-year-old, and he has to keep dropping his age so the audience knows how young he's supposed to be. "I think I'm doing pretty good for a 15-year-old with a wife and a baby."
There are other examples of way-too-self-aware dialogue that I find funny as well: "That was early Dewey ... this is middle Dewey."
"I guess that's the end of another chapter in your life, Dewey Cox."
"This is a dark fucking period!"

For what it's worth, I thought the film was a hoot.
It's hysterical by the way, greatly exceeded my expectations
"Ransom paid the devil
He whispers pleasing words
Triumphant are the angels if they can get there first..."
It appears he's worn it several times before:

and I saw him walk into Letterman with it on once, too...
