Miscellaneous Movie Musings

Pineapple Express was so fun. I just adore Seth Rogen. James Franco was a capable enough counter for him, though I still feel like he's the luckiest not-so-fantastic actor around right now.

The stuff with those two was fantastic. The ~~McLovin character~~ third-wheel-guy was annoying and detracted a lot from the film. And the Asian Mafia was just not as funny as it seemed on paper. Everything else was hilarious though, and spot on for potheads.

Tropic Thunder met my somewhat high expectations. Downey was amazing, no matter what angle he was playing. Ben Stiller was happily sidelined while other great scenes rolled out, making this far less painful than it could have been. The Tom Cruise parts were funny, but I swear I was covering my face during some bits. In the end, it was pretty solid from top to bottom, more so than Pineapple.

Two movies in one day, woohoo! The only minus, as GD mentioned, is that you see way-too-long trailers twice.

Though unfortunately you only get to see the best ones once. I want to see TT again just to watch the Downey Jr. fake trailer!

I know what you mean. I'm not even gay, and yet, I so want to see The Devil's Alley!

I finally saw Dark Knight in digital projection. It was good.

Has anyone seen Tell No One? I'm thinking of seeing it this weekend. It has a good rating on Rotten Tomatoes.

Can't say if I did. Can't say if I didn't. Them's the rules!
