Aug. 16th, 2008 10:35 pmA bird pooped on me today. This is the first time this has ever happened. I've always been worried when I'm standing under a tree that a bird might poop on me, but the one time I wasn't conciously thinking about it is when it happened. It's like gross existentialism... or something.
So! Beyond my fecal adventures. We just saw Pineapple Express. It was... well, it wasn't terrible. It definitely isn't the best movie I've ever seen, nor is it even the funniest.
I mean, yes, it was a great big stoner movie, and we probably would have enjoyed it better if we had been toasted out of our minds. It did have it's definite laugh out loud moments, and a lot of times where I was thinking "wow, if I were stoned, this would be like ... the most profound thing in the universe," but a lot of times I found myself thinking "okay, guys, we get the point. Time to advance the scene," and a lot of things where the writers were clearly TRYING to be funny, but the jokes fell flat.
Basically it was like Dude, Where's My Car? with guns, and a more cohesive plot.
In conclusion, my objective review (yes, I'm offering an objective review of a stoner flick): Solid B-, would've been an A+ if I were high.
