    It's like still being Really into James Franco as a creative force in 2025. "Y'know, man, I just really like Pineapple Express. Just really think Oz the Great and Powerful is an incredible feature film."

    I wanted to know what movie was playing on the TV at the gym, so I took a picture and asked Google. It told me the film was Close Encounters of the Third Kind. I tried it a second time with the same picture, and it told me the film was Pineapple Express. The film was Bustin' Loose.

    The comedy to horror pipeline is interesting. Jordan Peele went from comedy sketches on MadTV and Key & Peele to Get Out, Us, and Nope. Danny McBride went from absurd comedies to writing the most recent Halloween trilogy. The director of the Halloween trilogy, David Gordon Green, also did comedies, including Pineapple Express (which starred Danny McBride), but he was arguably from a more serious background before that. Curry Barker went from YouTube comedy sketches to writing and directing…

    It all seems to serve my needs anyway, which are medical and pain-related. But I started trying different strains once I was able to and it didn't seem to make a difference. I lived in L.A. when you had to have a prescription and they still had a lot of strains available at the dispensary I went to, but they basically only told you the name and the price. Luckily for me, the owners and I bonded because we were all Midwesterners in L.A. so they were always telling me things like, "don't get…

    His latest movies have been boring and bad, in my very personal opinion. I loved Mr Fox, Budapest Hotel, those earlier ones. The Pineapple Express or whatever it was called. These last two or three ones, no. Boring, dialogue is too fast and rambling through, and the plot is just so thin and dull to me. I'm not sure what has caused this slip, but it's happened. I hope for everyone else's sake they I'm the only one with this issue, because I'd love to love each of them. They are truly…

    Just recast a Bond movie from Pineapple Express. James Franco would be worse than Seth Rogen as Bond, because he'd take any sexually aggressive scenes too seriously. So Seth Rogen gets to be M, Danny McBride is Q, and Amber Heard is the Bond girl. Kind of fits, in a shitting the bed kind of way.
