Jason Segel's laughter is so pure. Also, I never realized how much a good interviewer can bring out the best. Cheers to Jason, his counterpart and the wonderful ideologies expressed in this. good stuff!!
indeed props to interviewer. gave him space to elaborate and asked intriguing questions. near the end i even thought to wonder what he himself (the interviewer) might ask DFW if he could ask one question, because it seemed like he would've jumped in and given one or two to think about it, if Segel had volleyed the question back to him. then again maybe i read into it too much, that moment (of segel's deft dodge of the "what question" question) heh
Connected, well spoken, thoughtful and thought-provoking. What a refreshing and endearing interview that reveals that Jason Segel is growing and maturing as both a man and an actor. Bravo Jason! Can't wait to see what he tackles next!
Such a great guy. Some really thought-proving answers from Jason, and perfect questions from the interviewer. So excited for this movie to come to the UK.
this is an excellent interview, jason segel is really very clever and there is definitely some essence of DFW in the way that he answers the questions, with a matter-of-fact-ness and some nervousness that people won't see things in the same clarity that he does
I like to think the story about the healthy town, the hill, and the bike is really a metaphor for what's really worthwhile in life. That it is so easy to go downhill, but ultimately empty. That actually the old man is really wisdom, that the climb is the point and that the gears represent change, and finding the thing that's difficult enough for you as a person to make the climb enough of a struggle to be worthwhile, but yet possible for you. All the while knowing that it's pointless comparing your bike to someone elses.
It might appear that way but what it really is it's that diving into David Foster Wallace's books forces us to introspect much deeper than we would ever do it on our own. We dive into it, we feel it and then the Ego gradually dissolves and gives room for truth and being who we really are which is being creative and in tune with cosmic humor.
Played Wallace like he was the guy who slept on the couch in a bandana. People want to exhume Wallace so badly that anything that purports to resemble him is to be worshipped. The portrayal was insulting to Wallace's memory and who Wallace actually was.
Who was he really? I didnt know David Foster Wallace, but I have read his works. The shyness and honesty in Segal's portrayal seemed fair and not over exaggerated.
Segel should have won an Oscar for his performance in this film.
should def have got nominated.
Colin Morris if David Foster Wallace had been a rockstar, he would.
you can tell how much it meant to him, he does seem to have taken away a lot from studying DFW and playing him in the movie
The movie and his portrayal I underrated just like DFW himself
He should have for sure. He was increadible.

Jason Segel has impressed me a lot with this. He seems to get it! I hope he can hold onto it.
Awesome interview. Best 47.23 minutes spent on UA-cam.
I agree 💯
totally!
Such a great guy. Some really thought-proving answers from Jason, and perfect questions from the interviewer. So excited for this movie to come to the UK.
i dont know of a better person they could've picked to embody DFW. and he is clearly grateful and appreciative of him too.
Great interview, so insightful and inspiring. Jason Segel is wonderfully complex and honest person.

Jason did a fantastic job with the part
I like how genius ends up a discussion in front of an audience waiting to applaud and laugh at everything.
Was not aware of this. I like it.
Surprisingly enough, I loved the movie.
I love Jason ❤.
I love David Foster Wallace ❤
such a nice guy!
This movie made me cry like a little bitch. That scene at the end with the dancing FUCK
That was a brilliant touch. Such a terrific movie.
This was awesome lol I'm 336 pages in about to the end of the game of eschaton. So descriptive and funny man.
after that there's sort of a lull section but halfway through it starts to speed up in such a way I devoured the last 300 pages in a flash.
Part of Jason Segal has become David Foster Wallace. Similar to Jim Carrey and Andy Kaufman.
It might appear that way but what it really is it's that diving into David Foster Wallace's books forces us to introspect much deeper than we would ever do it on our own. We dive into it, we feel it and then the Ego gradually dissolves and gives room for truth and being who we really are which is being creative and in tune with cosmic humor.
Somebody drilled a hole down into davids coffin his wraith was released and now he controls Json Segels body.
I didnt think he could do it, but this role has indeed surpassed his performance in The Muppet Movie (even though only be a little)
This was awesome.
Jason has some serious external rotation on his right leg going on
DFW changes everyone who gives him 20 pages of their time.
Later this interview, but absolutely it was Oscar worthy.
They could have not picked a better actor to portray DFW.
Cool interview 👍🏻
fantastic interview and fantastic ending
Isn't he adorable!
Jason Segel sounds so different in this interview.
I've battled lifelong depression and something I have always said and felt is "I was born suicidal."
Jason Segel actually reminds me of David Lynch.
David quote: 18:19
i dont remember this movie being 8 years old.
Wow
This movie struck me as more romantic than Romance movies
17:00
Did my man’s say he was 72 years old ?
Uggghhhh
is he 72?
He's good but not funny

If you’ve listened to Wallace’s radio interviews and read anything by the man, Segel did a damn good job of getting the mannerisms
Im waiting for your scene by scene rendition of Wallace
