The Pineapple Express (Seth Rogen, James Franco; dir. David Gordon Green)

**EvilShoe** · 12-03-2007, 06:24 PM

This Apatow production is being described as "Midnight Run, but even better", which are bold words.
It's out next year in August.
First clip is online:

I'm not viewing the clip, as I'm trying to avoid promotional material for films I already want to see. David Gordon Green directing a Seth Rogen/Evan Goldberg script is enough to guarantee my ass in a seat opening weekend.

**Watashi** · 12-03-2007, 06:28 PM

Apparently according to Rogen when I spoke to him, this film has been done for almost a year and have been touring Southern California with various test screenings. I don't know why they have to wait until August to release it though.

**Mal** · 12-03-2007, 06:32 PM

Clearly a sequel to George Washington... it has Criterion written all over it.

How did you speak to Rogen?

For a few brief minutes at the Superbad screening at Comic-Con. I just spoke to him about this particular upcoming project because it interested me most.

It was right after we took that hilarious pic of Wats and McLovin.

Uh, I never got a picture taken with McLovin. You're thinking of Barty maybe.

Oh no, I was thinking of the picture with Lt. Dangle. Nevermind.

The clip I saw on the Superbad DVD was pretty disappointing given the hype. It should be interesting to see David Gordon Green directing this though.

**megladon8** · 01-23-2008, 11:47 PM

I think this may be the same clip from the Superbad DVD, but here it is...

Link.

Being somewhat of a pothead, I found it pretty funny.

**Buffaluffasaurus** · 01-23-2008, 11:58 PM

Eh... that clip is terrible. It's a long scene about absolutely nothing and seems to think talking about pot is a punchline unto itself. That's one of the reasons I walked out of Knocked Up.

I don't think I'll be seeing this one.

Comic-Con photographs!? Where are they!?

**Ivan Drago** · 01-24-2008, 12:17 AM

I'm definitely seeing it.

Of course you all knew I would.

Eh, it's a different type of humor, I suppose.

I found the "Cross joint" thing to be quite funny.

As was the bit about the babies of babies.

I actually hadn't given it any thought.

Sounds so atypical of DGG!

Anyway, I can't get the clip to work but I loved George Washington and really didn't like All the Real Girls at all.

I don't even understand why he thinks we would know he would.

**Kurosawa Fan** · 01-24-2008, 01:55 AM

Not a fan of that clip at all. It didn't even bring a smirk to my face.

**dreamdead** · 01-24-2008, 02:14 AM

And that.... that right there is the sound of my dissertation aborting any ideas of Green as an auteur. That link, that's like a vortex of a trifecta of ass.

Ah well, we'll always have All the Real Girls.

I just did a double take of your av right now. I thought the guy was getting a blowjob.

You don't remember all the crazy shit that happened in the "Writers strike may cancel Oscars" thread?

But anyway, I'm really looking forward to this because the last script they wrote together (Superbad) turned out to be a masterpiece, at least in my eyes.

**Raiders** · 01-24-2008, 03:16 AM

At least Snow Angels is due out before this one. That looks infinitely more promising, even if it has mixed buzz right now.

**number8** · 01-24-2008, 03:43 AM

Okay I just watched the clip. Whaaat? Was that supposed to be funny? I don't think I really get it. It seemed like it was trying to sell the idea of the cross joint being funny, which it isn't, mainly because I've seen more absurd cross joints being smoked.

I still have hope, but that was just sub-stoner humor. Harold and Kumar not wanting to walk 5 feet to retrieve a cell phone is what I call stoner comedy, not an extended scene of two guys lighting a joint.
