New (running related) movie
Release Date: This Friday, March 28th (Just in time for your ING taper...)
SYNOPSIS: Five years ago Dennis (Simon Pegg from Hot Fuzz and Shaun of the Dead) was at the altar about to marry Libby (Thandie Newton), his pregnant fiancée. He got cold feet and ran for the hills and he's been going in circles ever since. When Dennis discovers Libby's hooked up with high-flying-go-getter Whit (Hank Azaria), he realizes it's now or never. He enters a marathon to show he's more than a quitter but then finds out just how much sweat, strain and tears it takes to run for 26 miles. Nobody gives him a chance but Dennis knows it may be his only hope to be more than a running joke. This romantic comedy is the debut feature (as a director) for "Friends" actor David Schwimmer.
What did you think?

is that the same Hank Azaria who does the voice of Bart on the Simpsons?

I think someone else (Nancy Cartwright?) does Bart.
You're right though, Hank does do voices on "The Simpsons" including: Chief Wiggum and Moe -- In unison: "Moe!" (or is that "Moe's"?)

I had to investigate. From Wikipedia: "As well as Moe, Wiggum and Apu, Azaria provides the voices of Comic Book Guy, Carl Carlson, Cletus Spuckler, Professor Frink, Dr. Nick Riviera, Lou, Snake, Kirk Van Houten, the Sea Captain, Superintendent Chalmers, Duffman, the "Wise Guy" and numerous other one-time characters"

The previews for this movie look pretty funny. My daughter loved Hot Fuzz and Shaun of the Dead. Hmmm ... maybe I should take her to this one after we go to the Expo on Saturday.

Some of you might remember Hank Azaria as the funny dog walker from "Mad About You". He was alson in the 2004 movie "Along Came Polly" with Jennifer Aniston and Ben Stiler.
He played several parts in ACP but most notable for the "nuke boat captain" who stole Jennifer's character from Ben's character.
Very funny guy!
