Pineapple Express

[RavishingRickRudo 0]

You can't just let me make fun of Giuseppe's, can you? I have nothing against the Sweedish. This sucks. So close. Though, being Portuguese is probably worse than anything, really. Hard to factor, all these things. Well, if anyone, I'd rather be Gary Cole.

Much better looking trailer.

My future wife... Rosie Perez is in this, isn't she?

[luke-o 0]

That looks awesome.

[Guest blame that goot.]

But whats it about?

It's raunchy but heartwarming.

This trailer had everyone rolling before Sarah Marshall. And I loved that showed a red trailer. I don't remember if I've ever seen one of those before a movie at the theater.

Can't remember what it was showing before, but the only other red band trailer I've seen in theatres was for AVPR a little while ago.

Alright, alright.

 

I gave it another shot and it now looks good.

Last night at Harold and Kumar had the trailer and everybody was dying, I lost it when they show Rogen glide/falling/pouncing onto somebody. Now I'm looking forward to this one and have taken back any Doubting Thomas claims I had previously made about it, hopefully the trailer didn't show the funniest parts but I'm sold.

I'm iffy on it still...

 

But I lose it when Franco tries to kick out the window of the car.

[Mik 0]

That's the best. I lost it when he stuck his foot through the windshield.

[The Ill One 0]

Actually, I take that back- I had forgotten about that somehow. Franco can be pretty funny, too, like on the extras on the Knocked OUt DVD when he's ranting about Freaks and Geeks.

[Craig Th 0]

I've been watching the trailer over and over again, which is probably a bad idea. I'll get WAY over-hyped for this movie and it will be a let down.

[Jaxxson Mayhem 0]

Saw it tonight. It was definitely a weird movie, but damn funny. Franco was fucking GREAT in it. There aren't alot of quotables in it, but they make it funny in the situation. You gotta really pay attention to get the jokes, but they are most definitely there.

[SpikeFayeJettEdBebop 0]

Just saw it. Very, very funny. I dunno if I'd put it on the same level as Knocked Up(my favorite Apatow movie) or even Superbad, but it was certainly worth the price of admission.

Went to the midnight showing with a heavy amount of my own kind of "pineapple express" and it was a pretty funny flick, definately catered to the tee to the stoner crowd. Surprisingly, they went heavy on actually trying to tell a story here about friendships, comrodery, and the like. A few times it came across awfully weird though (as in a little gay to be honest) but I think that ambiguousness was what they were going for in getting laughs. This would be a flick I could handle seeing again just because of the inside jokes all over the place, plus if the film was broken down, there was a good amount of parodys and homages to older movies that this one was pattered from at times.

That's because it's raunchy...

Hahah, indeed it is.

 

And I have to just say it, was James Franco supposed to just be really stoned and "happy" or was he playing a homo? I couldn't figure that out, plus who he was talking to on the pay phone nearing the end of the film. He told whoever it was "I love you" but I didn't know who that was exactly.

[SpikeFayeJettEdBebop 0]

I don't think he was supposed to be a homo at all. At times somethings he said seemed a little gay but I don't think he was actually supposed to be gay at all. Rather I'd say stoned and "happy" and really wanting a friend. Also, I don't think they ever really make it clear who he was talking to, I just assumed his grandmother because I believe he shows up to see her shortly after and thats when he is kidnapped?? I could have something out of order though

Yeah, I was thinking maybe his grandma, but the conversation seemed a little more "personal" almost like it was his significant other or something. And he called whoever it was a "pimp" before too, so thats why I wondered if they were trying to portray Franco's character was gay.

[Jaxxson Mayhem 0]

I just thought of him as a sensitive drug dealer.

[Nighthawk 0]

Badass movie, even as an antistoner. Good mix of action, there were some really good fights in it.

[At Home 0]

Great movie. Funny as shit, Apatow-style dialogue, awesome actors, damn good action, definitely a great one. I laughed harder in Forgetting Sarah Marshall, but I enjoyed this one more.

[Guest Cal Moriarty]

I'll probably wind up seeing this, but at what point do we reach a Judd Apatow critical mass? Guy's just shitting movies out at this point. Aw, I just don't know what the hell I want anymore. I def. know I can't handle anymore snarky self-aware ironic Juno shit, but I'm getting burned out on this earnest-affection-plus-dick-jokes thing too. I thought Walk Hard would be the breaking point, then it wasn't, nor were Step Brothers or that Zohan thing. Oh well.

[At Home 0]

I could take Apatow movies all day long. The thing that I love about Apatow movies is that the dialogue isn't restrained. We've all seen an interview with any one of those guys, and that's how they talk. Rogen himself even said, "I'm not doing anything different now than I was 5 years ago, I'm just getting paid now." The dick jokes and gratuitous swearing, it's all legit. I know that's how I talk. It's just a nice breath of fresh air. Apatow flicks are just, above all, funny fucking movies. The dude's produced several dozen movies by this point, and I can only see a couple that I think are mediocre. I mean, fuck, Anchorman, Superbad, Knocked Up, Virgin, Forgetting Sarah Marshall, Pineapple Express, Freaks & Geeks... I even liked Kicking & Screaming.

 

Besides, would you rather have several Apatow joints or several black-cop-and-white-cop-get-together-to-solve-a-hilarious-murder-case kinds of comedies?

[King Kamala 0]

Like any filmmaker, it'll probably be when he directs a few shitty movies. Sure, he's produced and/or wrote some that weren't so hot (Drillbit Taylor, Walk Hard, Step Brothers, You Don't Mess With The Zohan) but even some of those aren't entirely devoid of merit and he can just blame someone else for fucking it up.

 

I've been an Apatow fan since Freaks and Geeks and even kind of like Drillbit Taylor and Walk Hard. They may not be perfect (I think a lot of his movies are a bit too long) but I think even Czech would take them over 90% of the comedies that the big studios are currently pumping out.

Well, obviously, Apatow movies, but is this really a binary thing?

[At Home 0]

Of course not, but I'd say that your average Apatow movie is miles above your average Hollywood comedy.

[The Niggardly King 0]

This movie fucking ruled.

I think I'm going some time this weekend. I was pleasantly surprised to see that Stan Sitwell was in the movie. And if I hadn't heard Danny McBride speak in the commercials, I wouldn't have recognized him without the mustache. Guy was the best part of Hot Rod (and that is saying a lot).
