Quick byline alert: I had a short article in yesterday’s New York Times Magazine, a profile of the clever and congenial Jay Duplass and Mark Duplass, the filmmaking brothers responsible for Cyrus; Jeff, Who Lives at Home, and The Do-Deca-Pentathlon. An amusing side note that didn’t fit into the piece came when I spoke with Jason Segel, who plays the title role in the excellent Jeff: “If you’re going to shoot in New Orleans, you should really restrict your diet. I put on 25 pounds. The movie takes place over one day. We tried our best to shoot chronologically, but there’s some shots where I put on weight as I walk through a doorway.”
