Movies Reviews
Review for Pineapple Express - Go - Go!
I thought it was freaking hilarious. The first half was way funnier and faster-paced than the second half, but the second half was by no means a letdown. There were some parts that made me laugh until I cried, which is awesome. But it felt long at an hour and 45 minutes! James Franco is a revelation! August 08, 2008

Go see it!!! My friends and I went to see the midnight showing on tuesday night and we had a blast!... we all read the books and made it our goal to see how the movie was going to play out.

George Orwell
"The great enemy of clear language is insincerity. When there is a gap between one's real and one's declared aims, one turns as it were instinctively to long words and exhausted idioms, like a cuttlefish spurting out ink."
Kurt Vonnegut
"Thanks to TV and for the convenience of TV, you can only be one of two kinds of human beings, either a liberal or a conservative."
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
"There is nothing worse than aggressive stupidity."
Arthur C. Clarke
"When a distinguished but elderly scientist states that something is possible, he is almost certainly right. When he states that something is impossible, he is very probably wrong."
Fred Allen
"I can't understand why a person will take a year to write a novel when he can easily buy one for a few dollars."
William Ralph Inge
"A nation is a society united by delusions about its ancestry and by common hatred of its neighbors."
Samuel Johnson
"Mankind have a great aversion to intellectual labor; but even supposing knowledge to be easily attainable, more people would be content to be ignorant than would take even a little trouble to acquire it."
Leonard Bernstein
"Inspiration is wonderful when it happens, but the writer must develop an approach for the rest of the time... The wait is simply too long." |
