Okay, yeah, so who else is super excited?

I've watched the first one about fifteen times and I seriously don't think it can get any better than that. Hopefully, the second one will be just as good.

Yeah, Harold and Kumar was a little over the top, but I personally think that's what gives it appeal.


The filmmakers might have thought they were going "over the top," but it's kind of hard to threaten the "status-quo" when you appeal to it so feverishly. I guess, I'm just not convinced that full-frontal nudity or scatological humor is "over the top," and, even if it is... the top must be pretty f**king shallow. Someone wrote that it resembled an extended "Carlos Mencia skit." I can't say I disagree (holy f**k, that guy is unfunny).

See Female Trouble, Cecil B. Demented, or Pink Flamingos. That's sincere trash-cinema - hilarious, subversive, and all made by John Waters. It's not like I'm a high-brow, nose-in-the-air sort of guy - I'm not. I'm a no-brow activist, and a purveyor filth. But, that filth has to be something worthwhile - this isn't even anything new. It's just boring and unfunny, through and through.

What the hell is that even supposed to mean?


Have you ever seen the film Idiocracy? It's sort of like that. Just as you can't effectively satirized non-intelligence with a barrage of jokes that only appeal the morons, you cannot effectively critique America by having a target audience which represents half of what is wrong with America (the audience applauded when they saw female pubic hair).

Nate, did you like the first one?


Yes.

Shallow as in superficial, or shallow as in not-deep-shallow? The latter wouldn't make any sense though... Hmmm.. Just wondering.



I LOVE GRAPE SODA. Seriously, I don't understand how it's even a bad thing. shrug.gif

OMFG that part was \sooooooooooooooooooo hilarious. My black friends said they laughed there ass off at that part. Sure it was extremely racist, but the entire movie is ridiculous and if anyone takes it serious, really shouldn't be seeing the movie.
