CalTV’s Tim Jaconnette continues his triple espresso-fueled road trip through the wild world of celebrity. This time he turns his guns on Clive Owen, Paul Giamatti, and Monica Bellucci, the stars of the upcoming movie “Shoot ‘Em Up.”The Clog thinks he’s improved quite a bit as an interviewer since the last time we checked in, but we might just be distracted by Monica Belllucci (sort of like how she distracted us from how lousy those Matrix sequels were, come to think of it).Some advice from your friends at the Clog, Tim? Less with the “Superbad” guys, more with Bellucci. That’s a life lesson right there.CalTV interviews the “Shoot ‘em Up” cast [CalTV]Earlier: ‘Superbad’ Interview Just Sorta Bad

Continuing on with what seems to be the new “thing,” CalTV features another interview on its site, this time with the stars of “Superbad.”

You’re already well aware how we received the previous interviews. To say the least, we weren’t impressed. Did CalTV change our minds this time?

Hmm … no. Don’t take this the wrong way, but we preferred the Daily Cal’s interview over this one. Despite being in print, the DC interview manages to capture character and humor much more than the camera does for CalTV.

So Tim Jaconnette is an improvement, but the talent still isn’t where it should be. Jaconnette moves around too much, and the camera struggles to keep him in frame without panning at the speed of light. Good energy, but might we suggest maybe one less espresso?

The guys of “Superbad”–Jonah Hill, Christopher Mintz-Plasse and Michael Cera–are dull and rather boring at the beginning. They seem tired, answering the usual questions about the movie. On a technical note, the lavalier mike for Cera sounds boxy and too far away to capture his voice just right.

It picks up, and the piece ends on a higher note once Jaconnette asks the guys about themselves and how they all get along. The guys are comfortable talking about their friendships.

Had CalTV had more time with the guys to warm them up and had CalTV cut out the first questions, the interview would have been more engaging. Alas, it was not.

We’d like to rectify this problem. You know, CalTV, we had four years experience of video production and two years experience in TV journalism in high school. Care to swap talent? Let’s make a date, and then we’ll hug it out at the end.
