Fuck, really? Welp, looks like I know what I'm going to try watching again tonight! According to Netflix I stopped watching it at eight minutes in. :/

I saw it in the theater twice. The first time I laughed so hard that strangers in the audience thought I was having an asthema attack.

Unfortunately much of the humor is lost on you if you're not a stoner or ex-stoner. Part of what made it so hilarious to me is that I've grown up surrounded by people who match the character profiles of Dale (Seth Rogen) and Saul (James Franco) nearly perfectly.

I was disappointed because everyone had gone on about how fucking hilarious it was, so by the time I watched it there was no chance of it living up to my expectations. It was funny, but not hilarious.
Same thing with The Hangover.

I think I liked Pineapple Express more than all of my druggie friends, actually, who thought it was kind of dumb (morons). Although people will tell me I act and talk a lot like Seth Rogen (who is a Canadian).

Honestly, I didn't really like it. It really just flowed poorly for me and the dialogue seemed mostly improvised, which is really difficult to do well and really easy to screw up.

It just gave me the general impression of everyone trying too hard to be funny. The only person I found believable in the entire thing was Kevin Corrigan (hitman who just wanted to have dinner with his wife). I felt pretty sad when he died.

You're dead to me. Everything that involves Bruce Willis shooting something is awesome, and Gary Busey was in both Predator 2 and Surviving the Game.

I really did not like Pineapple Express. I think all movies deserve a fair shot, and I do my best to sit through. I've seen enough crappy movies with good payoffs at the end. I did finish Pineapple Express, but it was really, really difficult. I didn't identify/sympathize at all with the characters and found it boring and unfunny.

This is exactly what I mean. I am the only one who has enjoyed that movie that wasn't stoned when I saw it.

I thought it was "over the top"!

I love Bruce Willis for the awesomeness factor, I love Gary Busey for the bat-shit crazy factor (and how he can't act to save his soul).

On a side note: I don't think that Gary Busey is aware that he's ever been in a movie. Have you ever seen the man? I'm convinced that they just follow him around with a film crew and make up a plot based around his actions later on.

For example: Equilibrium.


p.s. I'm gonna watch the remake of the Karate Kid with Will Smiths kid and Jacky Chan in it, because the add was good.

Yeah, I did not finish Equilibrium so it's sad to hear that the ending's actually okay.
