Standup comic and Curb Your Enthusiasm star Jeff Garlin is promoting his new movie I Want Someone to Eat Cheese With, which he wrote, directed and stars in opposite Sarah Silverman. Gothamist has a new interview with the first-time auteur, wherein he discusses Larry David's criticism of the movie's title:

Your film, I Want Someone to Eat Cheese With, is opening on the 5th. Is that the first name you went with?
Yeah, I thought about changing it because Larry David didn't like it
and kept on telling me I couldn't end a sentence in a preposition. He
wanted I Want Someone With Whom I Can Eat Cheese. I think that's the
way he joked about saying I should call it. So I looked for other
titles, but this one people seemed to like.

For more with Jeff Garlin, including the factoids that he lived with Jeneane Garofalo in the early-90s and may have coined the term "alternative-comedy," read the full interview at Gothamist.
