Ride The PINEAPPLE EXPRESS!! All Hail Gary Cole!!
Merrick here...
Yahoo has posted a trailer for PINEAPPLE EXPRESS in all kinds of glorious QuickTime (notably HD).
We've received boatloads of consistently good reviews for this film...too many to link out to, actually. Also, several trusted sources (whose reviews have not appeared on this site) say this movie is funny, cool, and "the real thing".
James Franco looks awesome here. I wouldn't have pictured him in this kind of role, but it makes total sense for him. The super-mega awesome Gary Cole (not to be confused with Gary Coleman, the black kid from DIFF'RENT STROKES) pretty much rocks in anything. Not that Gary ColeMAN didn't rock in his own way...well, maybe he didn't.
Cole was a better Mike Brady than the original Mike Brady. He would've been a kick-ass spaceship captain in CRUSADE if the show around him hadn't sucked donkey balls. Never saw him as the Vice President in WEST WING, but "Cole For President" sounds fine by me.
This one's written by Evan Goldberg and David Gordon Green (DA ALI G SHOW, SUPERBAD).
Pull Gary's trigger (ahem) to see the trailer!

yup.
-
you know it
-
Does that pic look like some kind of Nolte clone or what?
-
mmmyeah. Give me that TPS report right now and no one gets hurt!
-
this crew's movies are soooo much better than the Will Farell / Vince Vaugn / Owen Wilson triumvirate of a few years ago. I am so glad someone has removed them from the top of the very short list of people who make comedies.
-
. . . retarded comment.
-
Love his wife, though.
-
I especially enjoy the MIA music towards the end. Pretty fitting. This looks like it might give Hot Fuzz a run for its money in action comedy bracket (and I do love that movie)... And this is from someone who is wary of the Apatowian hordes.
-
Will make hot fuzz look like a heaping piece of dung... more than likely best movie of 2008.
-
Not to be a dick but this is written by Evan Goldberg and SETH ROGEN. David Gordon Green is directing, not writing, and his credits include the fantastic All The Real Girls, George Washington and Undertow, not Da Ali G Show and Superbad (which are Goldberg's)
anyway, this looks amazing, can't wait! -
But im so there opening day.....and you know you will be too
-
Cole was great (limited role of course) as the VP in The West Wing.
-
In fact, the kicking out the windshield gag is funnier all by itself.
-
Action-stoner-comedy. Good thing they had success in the past or this would have been hard a hard pitch meeting.
"It's about this stoner see..." -
CAN. NOT. WAIT.
The red band trailer had me laughing out loud many times. -
don't you?

Gary Cole can shine in whatever role he's given. I remember him from that miniseries about Jeffrey McDonald, the guy who blamed the Manson family for killing his wife. He even shined in a crapfest like I Spy as the Banderas-type agent.
-
Thar's Cole's greatest performance ever! www.youtube.com/watch?v=X2ApklEuYpo
-
Can't believe we are only going to get 5 months of reviews for this! Man why cut it so short? We at least had a good 12 months of reviews for Superbad. And about 2 years of reviews for Knocked up? Well let just get them reviews rolling! Can't wait to not hear a single bad word about this!
-
I can't see any changes from before. Still looks great though. And Argentino's right Office Space is by far the greatest Gary Cole performance
-
I think its funny how both Gary Cole and Stephen Root seem to be in everything these days while Mike Juge couldn't even get his second movie into more then 4 theaters and last I heard no one still knows who Ron Livingston is. Wonder why Ajay Naidu hasn't gotten any Family Guy/American Dad time? He has a very funny voice.

Wow, looks great. ..'ve been confusing this w/SARAH MARSHALL
by george newman
I remember reading last year about these films and just thinking they were both romantic comedy things... This trailer is absolutely fantastic.
-
This is almost identical to the red-band trailer released last month. And actually, this exact trailer's at least two weeks old. And as has been previously mentioned, you screwed up the credits. Evan Goldberg & Seth Rogen wrote it. David Gordon Green is an acclaimed indie director who hasn't really done anything like this before, but from the look of it, it looks like it works in a BIG way. But hey man...whatever. This looks unique and hilarious, and that song is utterly perfect.
-
James Franco will be the bomb in this movie.
-
"Three Prawns is NOT a galaxy!"
-
I like cheese
-
Rosie Perez in all her loud-mouth latina glory, that guy from The Departed and Grounded for Life, Daryl from the Office, James Franco in the first thing i've been interested in seeing him in since Freaks and Geeks, and the song "Paper Planes" by M.I.A. thats in the background. Everything about this trailer is solid gold and the red-band trailer is platinum.

Yeah, I'm gonna ask that you move your desk to the basement

eat out our girlfriends and kick us in the balls to quote Neil Cumptson. Comedy wise we have this which WILL be genius and hilarious (David Gordon Green is amazing, All the Real Girls blew me away) plus Tropic Thunder and Step Brothers both of which look hilarious, then we have some superheroes (TDK is a sure thing, Iron Man looks unreal and Hulk and i'm not sold on but it should be a good time and Norton's involvement moves it up a few pegs) It needs to be summer NOW
-
heh heh
-
Car drives YOU!
-
This will be the comedy of the summer.apatow and his crew have this shit on lock
-
We know who Gary fucking Cole is.
-
Seth Rogen, Gary Cole, and Pot? I'm sold.
-
Come on now: "James Franco looks awesome here. I wouldn't have pictured him in this kind of role, but it makes total sense for him." Have you EVER watched Freaks and Geeks, this is his character kinda nearly 10 years later! Do you're homework and watch the best show to get axed after one season. Proof behind that statement, half the dudes in Freaks and Geeks are bum-rushing the comedy silver screen with Judd Apatow.
-
Cole was great in The West Wing.
-
Anyone know? Kind of different and catchy I think. Maybe it's just because I've watched the preview like five times because it's great. By the way, the trailer for Step Brothers is up on apple's website too and it's pretty great as well.
-
it's m.i.a.'s paper planes
i've seen the movie and i think it will wind up being the funniest movie of the year, not on par with judd's films but as good as if not better than superbad, and franco is the shit -
The video is a trip too. Middle Eastern thuugg lifeee...
-
That song is great, and with your recommendation and the trailer alone I am seriously looking forward to this one. I always thought Franco was great, even in the made for TNT James Dean story. Just watching him crack up at The Jeffersons (or Good Times, whatever that was) and getting his foot caught in the cop car windshield had me rolling! Can't wait for this one.
-
and in Spiderman...but I admit he can be funny as hell. I just think he's terrible when he's trying to be serious. he always talks like you do when you're trying to talk without throwing up. all clenched and whatnot.this does look amazing however, it will be seen. I think this has potential for some huge moolah...great formula, great trailer, great built in fanbase, very simple plot. I think Dewey Cox was just a little too weird for people, but this one is going to throw a strike right up the middle.
-
I'm stahvin'! Seriously, James Franco should not do drama.
-
That's all I had to say.....

Both playing Mini-Mes
