Come anticipate Pineapple Express with me.

i thought the 1st trailer was zzzz but this new one's got me hyped for some lebowski style stoner noir stuff

lol @ m.i.a. but this looks fucking great

lol'd at like 7 rogan lines in there so i'm taking that as a good sign

stoner noir

Yeah, that's the phrase I've been looking for all day!

mixed feelings on this. the m.i.a. works well in the trailer tho.

gary cole!

The fact that David Gordon Green directed this has me excited.

also, Nora Dunn!

I was skeptical but this looks pretty damn awesome.

I would pay money to watch this.

IF I WERE STONED

so amped for this

foot in window lol

totally agree.

what's his face playing the villain??

lumberg

no gary cole.

i am stoked as fuck for this.

drillbit taylor is kind of not great though :(

Yeah, Drillbit Taylor looks so very terrible.

Great to see Rosie Perez back in a major flick, she was nearly always great in whatever she was in.

it could have been good if it were an actual episode of freaks and geeks. instead it's like an ep of F&G done really badly with second-rate child actors.

there are a few wilson one-liners that aren't in the trailer which are worthwhile.

^^^^^^^^this

is it just me or is this the first rewatchable trailer in ages?

bill hader is in this. i can't make up my mind about that dude.

Seth Rogen also sat down with 80's musician Huey Lewis, of Huey Lewis & The News, possibly discussing Lewis writing and performing the theme song for the movie.

hader is teh lols from what i've seen (inc. 'hot rod').

i want to give him the benefit of the doubt cause he is good some movies and is from my hometown, but some of the snl shit is unforgivable.

the italian talk show host gives me some lolz

countdown to dr m on the "DGG sucked after GW, apatow etc etc" tip

Did Apatow get the idea of this from "I Accidentally Domed Your Son"?

that's not gonna get us a ride, man

fucking awesome

I want to pay extra to see this

like $20. shit, I pay that much for sandwiches.

the italian talk show host gives me some lolz

very true.
it's not a robot horse?

I want to pay extra to see this

like $20.

there's that new theater in SF...

Love the deadpan shit in the promo. Tell the truth, though, it doesn't look much like Lebowski-style "stoner noir". It looks like watching Pulp Fiction while high. Plus, maybe some Superbad in the lolz (not just for Rogan's mug).

it apparently has an insane 'blues brothers' car chase.

so it would seem

i think this is the best movie trailer ever

i want to see that movie TONIGHT. If I saw that trailer before a movie I would no longer want to see whatever I'd just paid for.

dude, you puked into my printer

I need to rent this. Hated it when I saw it in the theater (only laffs were already in the trailer), fell asleep during the family dinner scene, but maybe I was just too tired to enjoy it.

lol

YES

movie was zzzz

movie makes me want to take up getting stoned so i can watch it stoned

I like that the movie is just kind of blatantly retarded in the character actions and dialogue and the plotting seems weak until you realize that the plot is supposed to be weak. When the characters blunder and do something useful, it never seems like they're heroic or that they're somehow accidentally winning, just that it's stupid. It just seems like purposefully bad slapstick. Then you have that expensive-looking grow house set thrown in, and the whole thing with spying on the kingpin's house which seems like a Beverly Hills Cop homage.

I could not put my finger on it, but something kind of works in it being nonsensical but not overly scripted.

yeah i agree w/ ^that^ ~ ive warmed to this somewhat on reviewing though still h8 the subplot w/ seth rogen's gf and just abt need to look away whenever rosie perez is onscreen and talking

Ha! I kicked off this thread almost two years ago and I STILL haven't seen the movie.

a lot of rogen's stuff is anti-plot or just riffing on plot clichés, i think, similar to will ferrell and co

The movie is a brilliant pastiche of 80s b-grade action flicks but with stoners inserted into the storyline. Rosie Perez is by far the worst thing about the film. I can't enjoy her even ironically.

I can't enjoy 80s z-grade action films ironically.

i guess i liked how this started, but when it stopped being a stoner movie and became about seth rogen shooting people and no longer was very funny, i got bored

needed more franco and less rogen

s1ocki otm

max otm

needed more Danny McBride, tbh.

I liked this movie exactly as it was and kind of wanted more inept action sequences in it.

(contradictory post is contradictory)

THUG LIFE

mh otm i like that their bumbling into victory isn't particularly heroic nor is the friendship stuff/banter absurdly removed a la 'R&G are dead' or whatever; it seems more distinctive than it probably is for not using either devices when it would have been fair play to do so.
if you don't find the stoner stuff funny tho i could see it being pretty worthless obv.

I can't enjoy 80s z-grade action films ironically.
i don't think the movie played it like that tho fwiw, the tone is consistently 'off' enough to feel like its own thing and not a 'riff' by the time the growhouse scenes come up imo (if that's what you mean)

it's just that they turn into confident action star types for that whole last part... the fun of stoner comedies imo is for our heroes to stonedly and freaked-outedly bumble their way through everything, not to come in guns blazin' and kill everyone

The action scenes are sloppy and tone deaf.

I am imagining all David Gordon Green movies ending like Pineapple Express.

all the real guns

George W. Bush

The action scenes are sloppy and tone deaf.

yeah, they remind me of when Terry Zwigoff tries to do violence - it isn't quite clear if its supposed to be funny and ends up just being gruesome and unpleasant.

"yeah, they remind me of when Terry Zwigoff tries to do violence - it isn't quite clear if its supposed to be funny and ends up just being gruesome and unpleasant."

Bad Santa violence was gruesomely funny.

ya

Or in the case of him beating the shit out of the kids in the mall parking lot just fucking hilarious.

Actually wait a second most of the violence was pretty hilarious and un-gruesome. The boxing scene is making snicker right.

I beat the shit out of some kids today. But it was for a purpose. It made me feel good about myself. It was like I did something constructive with my life or something, I dunno, like I accomplished something.

You need therapy. Many, many, many years of therapy.

Half.

you just got killed by a daewoo lanos motherfucker

Bad Santa violence was gruesomely funny.

was ref'ing more to the murders in Art School Confidential. (Altho I always thought the murder in Bad Santa is really off in tone as well)

beating up kids/punching midgets in the balls = slapstick, not violence

art school confidential! i had almost forgotten that terrible terrible terrible movie

it really is unbelievably bad

^ if art school confidential could r.i.p. it would be so on (terrible movie)

this was fucking great by the way

yes

yes, just watched this again the other night, seriously James Franco would be my idol if I had such a thing

obv i love it being a huge fan of weed and franco

his performance is so hilariously tender

he is a vulnerable dude

thought this was the worst movie I ever saw when I saw it in the theater but it laughed the whole way thru when I caught it on tv yesterday

this forum is my xanga
