I guess I’m to old cause I just dont get it. Whatever you call it, Grass, Pot, Weed, Ganja its allure escapes me. Its everywhere. Pro athletes seem to only be interested it Tats, Money and Weed. A UFC fighter named Nick Diaz tested positive after a big fight. He was fined 1/2 his pay, was suspended from fighting in Las Vegas, lost his contract and all the big money fights that came with it. So, did he quit smoking pot? No he somehow got a Doctor to say he has A.D.D and needs to smoke pot for medical reasons! The Navada commission still suspended him but the boy won’t quit no matter what. Ricky Williams lost a N.F.L career because pot was more important to him. Crazy. I’m not on a soapbox I’m just confused. Pineapple Express is a stoner comedy about a drug dealer and his favorite customer. This is, if my math is correct the millionth movie that Judd Apatow has been involved in this year. Seth Rogan is a process server who buys his weed from James Franco. After getting the rare Pineapple Express weed, Rogan goes to serve papers but stops to smoke a joint outside the guys house. While smoking Rogan sees the guy and a Woman Cop shoot a man. Rogan panics, throws the joint out and speeds away. Well lo and behold the shooter is Francos pot source and he recognizes the half smoked joint. Sounds hilarious don’t it? The rest of the movie is one long chase scene punctuated by gruesome violence. Now don’t get me wrong, I loves me some gruesome violence, like ears shot off then someone tries to puzzle it back together. A guy getting crushed between 2 cars then getting his foot shot off. A guy getting shot over and over again but never dying. Funny stuff huh? Your right its not. Theres a couple of amusing parts but thats all folks. I thought it was me but there were 9 men and 1 woman in the theater and they weren’t laughing either. Dont belive the hype, this sucks. When I saw 2 SNL cretins and Evil Apatow in the credits I saw the writing on the wall. If you want funny Apatow, Rogan and Franco then rent “Freeks and Geeks,” a good T.V show they did a few years ago. Next: No Apatow- No SNL, as a matter of fact no real humans at all. The animated Star Wars- The Clone Wars is next. Once again Star Wars saves the day! Is there anything Star Wars can’t do? I think not.
