Yukking It Up at the "Extract" Premiere

When Mike Judge gives a movie premiere, tons of funny people show up. The creator of "Beavis and Butt-Head," "King of the Hill," and the classic live-action flick "Office Space," Judge's latest drew lots of comic actors to the Arclight Theater in Hollywood on Monday, Aug. 24.

His witty film is "Extract," starring Jason Bateman who brought along his wife Amanda Anka for the unspooling of the Miramax film. His co-star Mila Kunis made the scene solo, and their very funny partner in comedy Dustin Milligan helped pretty up the carpet too with his girlfriend Jessica Stroup. The other talented stars of "Extract," including Clifton Collins, Jr., Beth Grant, Dave Koechner, and Gene Simmons joined in the fun, but Ben Affleck didn't make the scene. Too bad, because his bearded-stoner take in the flick is priceless.

"Getting a chance to work so closely with him on this was great," Bateman chuckled. "We got along very, very well and very, very quickly and that's always helpful for a comedy. You always want to have a good vibe on the set and for people to feel safe. That was there. We came up with a lot of fun stuff."

Laughing all the way to the after party were Cheech Marin, Amy Poehler, Will Arnett, Johnny Knoxville, Simon Pegg, and Aziz Ansari. Joining the crowd was actor-writer-producer Johnathon Schaech. "I'm working on a comedy screenplay right now, Schaech said. "And it's not as easy as Mike Judge makes it look."
