Once Apatow has a three-hour-plus version of the movie, he shows it to every funny person in L.A. and asks for notes. "Judd is like a feedback machine," says Feig. "He wants feedback of the person he doesn't even like or trust. And he's got the brain trust of comedy at the moment, old and new." The next stop is test audiences - 10 for Funny People. "We had a debate over how much is too much for a comedian to talk about his penis and testicles," Apatow says. "The answer there is, No amount...
...enough to have her period? Mind you, this is Apatow's real daughter who's playing the character - so when he asks me, as a warm body in the room, for my opinion, I keep quiet.

...afternoon, as the hour for the protests grew closer, many offices in the Iranian capital began shutting down or running with a bare-bones staff. Workers began leaving to assemble at protest sites, traveling by way of the clogged subway, by cab or on foot. "I'm not scared," said a banker as he headed for the sprawling Behesht-e Zahra cemetery, where many opposition "martyrs," including the iconic Neda Agha-Soltan, have been buried.
