Pineapple Express

[YellerDog]

A plot, you say? Intriguing.

Superbad didn't mesh with me at all. Probably because I hated living it the first time.

Deep down, the characters dream of being the clerks from Clerks.

The only good part of Superbad was McLovin and the cops. The main storyline was such a tossaway.

I'm still going to see this movie. After the whole pie thing in Spiderman 3, any movie with James Franco is a possibility.

So good.

You are CORRECT.

This was ok. Stoners are only so funny. I thought it was more entertaining than Superbad though, especially the scenes with the two silly killers. Lots of blood btw.

Apatow's shit is getting tired.

[Brisco Bold]

I thought it was okay and laughed quite a bit, but it is being savaged by the critics.

Apatow (and Rogan?) reused a few scenes from their previous efforts.

A few that come to mind:

- Dale carrying Saul out of the building engulfed in flames, a la Seth carrying Evan out of the party in Superbad;
- Dale and Saul breaking up their budding bromance a la Seth and Evan before Seth is hit by the car;
- Saul getting hit by a police car a la Seth getting hit by a police car. Both movies used the conceit as a getaway plan for whoever is incarcerated;
- Saul attempts to kick out the police car's windshield a la Bill Hader's character in Superbad;
- a fight with fluorescent lights a la an opening scene in The 40 Year-Old Virgin

Btw., Craig Robinson was awesome.

Like I said, shit's getting tired.

Damn dude, I didn't even notice all that. Good observations.

I really, really, really wanted to LOVE this movie. And while I didn't hate it, I thought it was just ok. Sadly, I agree with Cow, apatow's shit IS getting old. It's the same old shit movie after movie.

Its the same complaint I have with Kevin Smith movies, and Quentin Tarantino movies to a certain extent. It's ok to have a recognizable style, but when every movie you make just feels like you having a conversation with yourself, that's not cool. Each of these guys just crafts their characters as a vehicle for them to spout their bullshit. And while I like some of their bullshit, it would be nice to have a change of pace every once in a while.

No, really?
