I wasn’t kidding when I said that n+1 was here to light up your favorite films and filmmakers with its criticism, and look at that: It took less than a week for Judd Apatow to fire back at an essayist who distilled the appeal of Apatow’s oeuvre to a basic theme: “As long as you behave yourself, take on a modicum of responsibility, and wear the yoke of commitment, it is entirely acceptable — even preferable and profitable — to be stupid.” Interrupting his viewing of Real Housewives of New Jersey , Apatow responded, “I am sure I do have all sorts of problems and shortcomings he can read into the work, but that is the fun in making it.
