It's been ten years since my parents would not let me see Superbad in theaters, and Seth Rogen is getting nostalgic. The actor, who wrote and also appeared in the 2007 movie, took to Twitter on Thursday night to do a quick Q&A with fans who still had questions about the film, as well as post some unbelievable (and hilarious) trivia about how it all came together.
"I'll answer some Superbad questions if anyone has any," he said last night, prompting questions like "How long did it take to write the script?" (seven years) and "How long did it take to film?" (35 days), but he also tweeted out some fun facts of his own.

But, mostly, people just wanted to know whether or not the actors were sober on set (no, not always) as well as the origin of the scene when Michael Cera's character sings "These Eyes" ("We once went to a party with coked out comics I knew and it was similar").
You can check out more fun facts over on Seth Rogen's Twitter, but for now, let's hope this Q&A becomes a tradition for the rest of his hilarious movies.
