Lunch 4-24-08
Delicious, I just wanted to post a picture, ha, best non Chili my Soul chili I've had in a while suprisingly and the cobb whatever sandwich was nice and refreshing, the Avocado really brings it alive.
Nacho Libre
I just assumed this movie was not going to be funny especially with that rating but somehow it manages to be funny and non offensive, I know that should be respected since its easier to be dirty to get a laugh and I kind of do like that about it but there is really no reason for me to hold something like this in higher regard than something like Superbad which is more dirty idiot humor funny, this is just silly and thats pretty much the same level in my book, definitely worth checking out a couple more times though.
Half Baked
This movie is still funny but I've seen it so many times it's kind of boring now, it still has its moments but I used to like it a lot more before I could tell you what's coming in the next scene instead of focusing on what I'm watching.
Steve Martin - Born Standing Up
Best book I've read in a long time, I love Steve Martin though so maybe that has something to do with it. I like the book so much the day after I finished it I picked it back up reread it again in 3 days which I haven't done since I read the last great rise to fame book (more or less) Rebel Without a Crew, I'm always looking for books like this about people who's work I admire (though with Rodriguez I think I just like hearing him talk about filmmaking more than the actual films that come out of it).
I think I should probably pick up one of his novellas next, we'll see.
Superman/Batman - Vengence
This is completely crap, I can't remember the last comic book storyline that I disliked so much, its like Super Mario Brothers 2 but in comic book form, lots of weird hard to explain shit happens but don't worry, in the end it's all just one big game to focus on the character who could have done nothing to avoid it, lame. Also Batzarro and Bizarro could have been a lot of fun (and a couple times they are kind of) but they just come off as annoying, I know they're not supposed to be smart and they talk backwards but there has got to be a better way to handle them and all the leftover plot twists from other story lines is really stupid considering the ending, oh well they can't all be winners. Bullshit.
Pineapple Express - Script
Funny script, I had heard (from Rob mostly) most of the scripts this group of guys comes up with arent very funny and its all about the on set improv but this one if they stick to the script will be funny any way so whatever else they add to it on set sounds like it'll be a bonus, plus what I read in this

About Rogen loving the testing process because they can make each line a laugh, thats really cool and I can't wait to see what they come up with or the Zack And Miri trailer thats hopefully attached to it come August, hope I don't get burned out on these guys because they may not make the smartest films on the planet but at least they're funny unlike most of the bullshit coming out (Fool's Gold, I'm looking in your direction you stupid idiot of a movie).
Harold and Kumar Go to White Castle - Unrated
Look at that funny translation, ha. The movie looks dumb and I expected it to be dumb but I liked it and I've watched it 4 or 5 times now, its a good movie that I dont have memorized yet so its entertaining still, yes its a dumb stoner comedy about 2 guys going to white castle so your not going to get a bunch of character growth or powerful drama but the sequence where he marries the bag of weed and the scenes of it as his wife? That's some instantly classic stuff right there.
