AN L.A. SARAH MARSHALL AUDIENCE ''We introduce the film, ask the crowd to say 'cheese'; it remains unclear as to whether the crowd knows who we are''

8:27 p.m. We ask the manager if we can introduce the 8:30 showing. He says yes. We ask him ''Have you seen Forgetting Sarah Marshall and how much did you like it on a scale of one to five?'' Before he can respond, we add, ''One being you liked it a lot and five being you loved it.'' He doesn't respond but says we can introduce the movie.

8:30 p.m. We introduce the film at the Cinerama Dome and take a picture of the crowd. We then watch the nude breakup scene. The crowd reacts vocally to Jason's penis. Two for two.

8:35 p.m. There are now four dudes in the stretch limo. We have finally achieved party-on-wheels status.

8:45 p.m. We arrive at Universal CityWalk and ask to introduce the 9:30 showing. We thought this would get old. We are sure that it not getting old has nothing to do with being inebriated. While waiting for the 9:30 showing we go to the Hard Rock Cafe and eat nachos under Peter Cetera's acid wash jeans.

9:30 p.m. We enter the theater, introduce the film and take a photo of the crowd. We are getting pretty good at this. Like, if we could make money at this we would make a lot of money. We then watch approximately 18 trailers. Finally, the penis scene. Crowd reacts vocally. It is becoming clear that when you put a male penis at the opening of a light romantic comedy audiences are surprised.

10:45 p.m. There is a stretch limo behind ours that is filled with ladies. We inform them that we are the director and star of Forgetting Sarah Marshall and that they are free to party with us. They do not respond.

11:00 p.m. Four dudes in a limo! Back together again!
