Pineapple Express: Someone Is Wrong on the Internet?

[Snarf Zagyg]

Ugh. Another one of those threads.

As Mama Snarf used to snarf'splain to me-


When all you have is rum, every problem looks like a nail that you can ignore by drinking more rum.....

Now, go get yer momma two gallons of rum, Nail!

Okay, first point -- does everyone on this board living in the US also somehow live here in greyduck/hotdish-land?

Yep! Quite a few of us in rubber‑binder land.

Although I now live a state over in the land of water bubblers, beer-cheese soup, and da turdy point buck.

Gotta say- Dafoe is inspired casting, IMHO. Ditto Tilda.

I think Goldblum would make a better Mr. Fantastic. But given that he’s already appeared in the MCU, he might be jarring in any other MCU role.

And while I realize it’s mostly CGI, I can’t help but think you need a physically larger actor for Ben Grimm. And/or someone who can do a seriously gritty, raspy voice for the audio engineers to work with. Ideally, someone who sounds like they’re from NY and can drop some convincing Yiddish into the mix.

I sometimes wonder, if not for the failings of others and my misguided desire to help them, would I be bored with how simple my life would be.

Tommy Wiseau could improve on the original. Low bar.

 

[Willie the Duck]

Don't forget the 1966 shoestring-budget DC/Marvel crossover movie Mano and the Hand vs. Dr. Fate.

Missed opportunity. Peele should take Venom, and turn it into the horror movie it should be.
