The RETURN of the Plain! by superduper3000	Mar 9th, 2008 05:35:11 AM
Welcome back, Jane! I'll go see Harold and Kumar, but that's about it from here. At least I know exactly what I'm getting - big , dumb, stupid shit. But (hopefully) funny big, dumb, stupid shit! Marley Biopic! http://tinyurl.com/3apz6p
So smoke pot and your intelligence will increase? by Tal111	Mar 9th, 2008 06:10:53 AM
Sorry, 30 days isn't enough time to determine the real effects...every pot smoker I know has been left with no short term memory. I've yet to see the benefits.
Benefits? by ScottLarock00	Mar 9th, 2008 06:18:16 AM
I suppose there are benefits from being addicted to alcohol and smoking cigs?
That lady was fucking stoned by DOGSOUP	Mar 9th, 2008 08:09:24 AM
I know it. You know it. She knows it.
Medical benefits of pot by Nyllednav	Mar 9th, 2008 09:43:29 AM
My wife has Post Polio Syndrome - look it up retards. She has to take a bag full of chemicals each day to get through it, but the only drug that really helps her is pot. It makes her relax, the pain subsides for a while, and she can see thru the fog again. But it's illegal in our state, and they don't have clubs here, so she has to get it through, uh, suppliers. Man, drug control in the States is so fucked up.
Go see The Amazing Truth About Queen Raquela by ELGordo	Mar 9th, 2008 10:30:23 AM
It won the Teddy at the Berlin Festival but was totally ignored by the press.
Hmm.. Harold and Kumar worth seeing by Jugdish	Mar 9th, 2008 11:20:29 AM
The last couple reviewers said it was terrible.
I'm smoking pot right now by HaroldandKumarforPresident	Mar 9th, 2008 11:20:58 AM
and I have pretty much every day for the last 10 years. I am about to get my PhD and already have several publications in peer reviewed journals. Remember what Kumar told Harold: "Since when has getting high ever prevented you from doing your work?"
From "A Child's Garden of Grass"... by MisterE	Mar 9th, 2008 11:22:36 AM
From "A Child's Garden of Grass: The Official Handbook for Marijuana Users": The Dangers of using grass are: 1. Getting busted.
Plant Smoking a plant by picardsucks	Mar 9th, 2008 12:13:53 PM
might be interesting but looks like nothing else worth seeing dvd rentals. More movies about how ignorant we dumb and rascist all white Americans are and how clever hollywood is. Kind played out no??? Isn't a black guy with Hussein as a middle name winning in tiny little bible belt states?? I'm from Chicago and not a real religous guy but I am tired of hollywood ripping these people to sheds all the time because they have different views. These are the mostly hardworking people who have sons and daughters overseas right now fighting in sand. Alot of them go to church and alot of them are more concerned with raising their kids right than personal self indulgance. Hollywood can't understand that becuse they are so overly self indulgant. They call these people racsist or intolerant and snicker at the dumb hopeless types forced to join the military and try to lump them together as all that is evil in the world. It's all dumb America's fault, but we're differnt see look Europe we make movies about how corrupt and stupid most American's are. We make Anti-military films and if no one goes to see them it's dumb America's fault. To even joke about Guantanimo Bay where many of the world's most heinous viscous shitheads are jailed. People that would gladly slit the throat of every jew for their own perverted form of Islam. How sad. Fuck Harold and Kumar, Cheech and Chong did it way better anyway.
Re: picard sucks "Alot of them go to church " by Bobo_Vision	Mar 9th, 2008 12:47:02 PM
This is a phrase many people use to indicate that a person or group of people are decent, but simply going to church does not make one moral or good, and some church goers are the most evil people out there, but they go simply to absolve themselves of their guilt and to feel self-righteous and use religion as a means to condemn others. Same thing goes for the quote "Alot of them have kids fighting in the sand". And I'm sure you mean Iraq and not in their backyard sandboxes, and again, fighting a war does not make a person a hero or decent. Going overseas to kill people is sad, and sad for their parents, but it says nothing about their decency one way or another.
No such word as "alot". by Tal111	Mar 9th, 2008 02:13:05 PM
It's "a lot". Pet peeve dealt with. Oh and to HaroldandKumarforPresident, let me see if I got this straight- you smoke pot every day and you're going for your PHD AND you obviously love Harold and Kumar AND you're hanging out at Aint It Cool. Hmmm, I buy that....I really do.
What worries me about Harold and Kumar... by justanothermoviefan	Mar 9th, 2008 02:51:14 PM
Is that it's directed by the writers. I loved the first one, but why would the studio allow the writers to direct it? Wasn't the original a pretty big hit on DVD? Surely there is going to be an audience for this film. STUDIO EXECUTIVE: Hey, lets give this film to a couple of writers who have never directed anything. Thats a sure-fire way to make a quality film. I'll still go, but my expectations are not very high.
by MichaelM	Mar 9th, 2008 03:00:51 PM
Yeah, Harold and Kumar 2 is god-awful. I'm a fan of how crazy, off-the-wall ridiculous the first one is, but this one's a sad cash-grab. Don't waste your money. The only funny part is NPH doing mushrooms and seeing a unicorn.
alot is used so often... by Tourist	Mar 9th, 2008 03:18:17 PM
...That its pretty much part of the english lexicon now. The pot smoking issue seems quite contentious with you yanks. Both sides equally ignorant and straight up full of shit. No damage at all? I'd smoked pretty much constantly for 8 years of my life. Its probally on par with drinking for 4 years of your life. Sure, in moderation its about as harmful for you as watching the news, but chronic use is going to fuck your lungs up. Its not terribly good for your work performance if you go to work high, as I did frequantly, but its not as poorly as going into work drunk. On the other side, why the fuck do you people give a shit if someone smokes weed or not? I don't see how its anyone elses business. They want to develop lung cancer, let em. Besides, if it was legal, you would see alot more healthy options, like vaporizers or baking.
Why see the "Harold & Kumar" sequel? by moviemenace	Mar 9th, 2008 03:44:20 PM
Because most of you did not see the first one in theaters. For those of you that liked the first one, have faith. Obviously you did not think "White Castle" would be funny (or you're just racists) and it was hysterical. So instead of catching a good comedy in theaters, you waited to see it for free, and "surprise, surprise" you loved it. So why not now show a little support. Lets face it, comedy is best as a shared experience. Crack your wallets, and go see it in theaters with other people. You cheap bastards!
Okay Tourist by Tal111	Mar 9th, 2008 04:17:14 PM
Since it seems obvious to everyone but you the reason I give a shit if someone smokes pot or not is that that someone could very well be driving or operating a vehicle of some sort or any other number of examples I could give. Understand now or do you need it all spelled out for you?
The Smoking pot festival? by skywalkerfamily	Mar 9th, 2008 04:17:17 PM
Is this like Woodstock?
CANT WAIT TO GET STONED AND WATCH PART 2 by Broseph	Mar 9th, 2008 06:44:41 PM
I went in to harold and kumar with very low expectations and absolutely loved it.laughed my ass off.i'm glad 2 hear the sequel wont be a let down.smoke'm if u got em
Tal BFD by DOGSOUP	Mar 9th, 2008 07:28:45 PM
So a stoner is going 400 miles an hour and thinks he's in hyperspace, that means you go around him. A driver could have been up all night and would be more dangerous. A driver could be fighting an escaped cobra in his pants and serve and hit you. Do you really cower in fear that much? Sorry but the only reason pot is illegal is because Henry J Anslinger wanted to control mexicans in the 30's. The reason it STAYS illegal is because the medical, paper, and countless other industries would lose a shitton of money. And really, my roomate has cancer and the ONLY thing that gets the poor bastard through the day is smoking weed. You'll never convince me weed is bad after I see this guy who can't even talk or move without pain bleeding from his mouth until he smokes weed and can actually be like a person again who can laugh without crying in pain. Fuck your self rightousness.
He smoked weed for 24 hours a day by skywalkerfamily	Mar 9th, 2008 07:41:38 PM
and remembered what he did?
Harold and Kumar released then pulled now back by EvilWizardGlick	Mar 9th, 2008 09:03:23 PM
Wasn't this originally released as Harold and Kumar go to Europe? It was released then pulled now back out and renamed. And weren't those MIT students Asian? You know the card counters in vegas.
Tal111 by s0nicdeathmonkey	Mar 9th, 2008 11:37:01 PM
The fact of the matter is that Marijuana does not impair in the way you think it does. In fact, most people can pass a drunk driving roadside test while stoned. Also, a drug being legal or illegal is not in any way relevant to a person operating a vehicle while using it. That is a tangential argument at best.
Tal11... by Tourist	Mar 10th, 2008 01:16:16 AM
...Your going to need to spell it out. People could be drinking, masturbating, being a fucking idiot (the number one cause of crashes) or sleeping in the car driving alongside you. People could be stoned NOW, even though its an illegal substance. It wont make a difference wether its legal or not. It may take some cops off of the useless duties involved in drug related criminal investigations and put them on the road, where they can look out for affected or incomptent drivers, however. Bonus note, I'd find it next to impossible to crash stoned, since on the rare occasions I do drive smashed, I'm retardedly extra careful. Skywalker, thanks for adding to my confusion. Why would someone have blackouts when high?
joeelliott; "Harold and Kumar" is groundbreaking... by moviemenace	Mar 10th, 2008 03:12:27 AM
The first movie to effectively address "white" stereotypes. Very funny stuff. Got to love it. As far as the Bush statement; I have no clue what that's suppose to mean. Are you making a statement and just asking a question?
