The one with my Pineapple Express take!

Seth Rogen is currently seriously hot shit in Hollywood. And just in case you didn't see Knocked Up, The 40 year old Virgin or Freaks and Geeks, Pineapple Express will confirm that he is one of the finest comedic actors working at the moment.

So what is the Pineapple Express all about? Is it about some new tropical fruit shaped train? Is it about some new motorway shaped like a tropical fruit? Or, is it a combination of the two? In a nutshell, the movie is about a train that....well not exactly. 

In another nutshell, Dale Denton (played by Seth Rogen) is a stoner, who works as a process server. He is witness to a murder by a big time drug lord. Big time drug dealer finds a roach that Denton drops in the panic trying to get away and figures out that theres some Pineapple Express in the roach. 2+2 are put together and Dales dealer, Saul Silver (played by James Franco) is the only guy in town selling Pineapple Express. 

The rest of the movie, sees the lads on the run, in a really, really,  clever comedy! There are some really laugh out your lungs moment. For me, the absolutely "shit, is that my lung in my popcorn" fight scene when the guys meet up with Red is a real standout moment. Through out the movie there are scenes which, I reckon are ad-libbed due to the sheer and utter lunacy of them. They work unbelievably well and this is all down to the sheer talent of Rogen and Franco.

James Franco plays the part of stoned, drug dealer Saul Silver brilliantly. Long, greasy hair, pyjama bottoms, its a far way from what alot of folks may have last seen him in. The spiderman trilogies. Danny McBride, plays Red and is absolutely outstanding! Wait for his foot shooting grand finale! Classic stuff!!!! And what cant be said about Seth Rogen. I really think he's a huge talent, and mark my words in a few years time his immense talent may see him get an Oscar nomination if decides to do another genre of movie! Mark my typed words! If I had to critical, it could have done with a bit more nudity. Rogens legs just didn't do it for me on the nudey front!

Special mention to Huey Lewis and the News who wrote the title song especially.

If you absolutely detest stoner movies, this one aint for ya. But, if you enjoy forcing your lungs out through your nostrils, this one is most definitely for you!

The one with Schwarzenegger and Bale

Previously, I've featured the T4 trailer clip and just recently the following clip appeared on the web. Its Arnie and Christian Bale on the set of T4. Wonder what the conversation is like!

AS "Yahhh, you need to emphasise the ck when you say Ill be back, Yahhh?"

CB "Oh right ya"

AS "Yahhh"

CB "Ya? maybe"

AS "Yaaaaaahhhhh"

Speculation is rife that the Goven-atah is gonna be making a cameo in some capacity. Now I know that Arnie is and always will be THE Terminator and I spent most of my child hood drooling over Predator and Terminator. The original Terminator movie was one of 2 reasons I bought a biker jacket. But cant Arnie stay out of this one?Just to see how the franchise holds up without him and Bale taking the lead role. Ah go on Arnie, just once. And if Bale is shite then the T-800 can mangle his testicles in T5.

The one with Jerry Reed

I have no idea on how I missed this, but spotted it on a few blogs this morning, including Ricks one.

The snowman is dead! Jerry Reed is gone! One of my all time heroes as a child! All I wanted to be was a truck driver after watching Smokey and the Bandit. Along with Star Wars, the Smokey and the bandit trilogy have been watched more times than Id care to admit.

A while back I had the immense pleasure of interviewing Jerry and had an absolute blast with the snowman, who couldnt have been nicer! Will see can I dig out the audio and get it on a podcast!

The more I type, the sadder Im getting!

Jerry Reed - A gentleman and a hero, now a legend! Wherever he is now, Im sure he's got the guitar out!

The one with Junior Cert night

Well another Junior cert night came to an end last night and the number of incidents of a serious nature, seemed to be less than last year, which is a good thing! One of the worrying aspects that came out of this though, is the amount of teens popping' pills. Maybe its ignorance, maybe its stupidity or a combination of both. But, can anyone explain whats going on in their little brains? How many more teenagers have to collapse and never again wake up, before the rest of them get the message! Idiots!

As usual, its the minority that get the rest a bad name when it comes to all things underage, but whats with the gangs of scobes? Groups of 20 or more wandering around, attacking innocent folk for no apparent reason. Bottles, iron bars and anything else they could get their knuckle scraping hands around, were all used. Maybe its their big man complex! Idiots!

From the fashion point of view, some girls in particular were wandering around wearing absolutely nothing. As someone pointed out via text, the less you wear the easier access it is! Easier access for who? The dope who started a fight with a random stranger for nothing? The dope puking his guts up all over the place? The dope who drags his knuckles along the ground? They want that dope to get easy access to their lady bits? Oh yeah, that's a great catch! Well done! He'll make a great dad! Idiots!

Its frustrating to hear some of the tales on air, what with teenagers thinking they're mad for drinking a few cans or knocking back pills. Idiots!

My large selection of hats are off to all the teenagers who didn't feel the need to use drink or drugs to have a great night out. LEGENDS! 

My other hats are tipped to all the emergency services who have to deal with this night every year! They might not be told it often enough, but its very much appreciated!!!!

And much hat tipping and thanks to Eimear and Kevin for putting on the bravery uniforms yet again and wading into the middle of it and bringing exclusive live coverage of the night! And thanks to Nools for holding down the fort!

All back to normal later (if ya call the show normal :) ) and I'll be following up on JC night later, Anne Sexton, Christ with a K and all the usual!

The collider thing again and junior cert action!

It happens in a few hours.......woooooooooooooo (in a spooky tone). This guy seems to have it down to a tee...cough....



...cough....

Anyway, if we're not killed by a black hole or brain eating demons from another dimension, we'll be on the streets tonight as Junior Cert night 2008 unfolds!!!

And for all the JC's out there, I hope yer all happy with the results and the most important thing of all, if your celebrating later on, please think about what your doing and STAY SAFE!!!!!

The one with Lilly Allen and Elton John

If there were ever a need to put a pair of steel toe capped boots up someones hole, its this...

Only came across it this morning!!!!!

The one with the Collider yoke

Large Hadron Collider or LHC as its known to the boffins! Maybe they've given it a nickname, like Horris or something! Is it gonna bring the end of the world? Is it gonna create a black hole? Or will it bring some bad ass dudes from the 9th dimension who will kick some serious ass? I don't think anybody knows. Apparently its safe! I'm sure that's been said about other things before! As a listener pointed out last night, the laws of normality wont allow for something as exciting as a black hole!

Im intrigued with the idea of the end of the world. For years, we've got the Hollywood version. That normally involves Bruce Willis or Will Smith saving the day with 0.000000001 seconds left on the end of the world bomb or whatever is threatening our existence. What would the LHC version be? Would shit just stop and that would be it. One minute your eating your ham sandwich and then nothing! Just darkness! Just blackness! Nothing. No speaking, talking or eating ham sandwiches! That's that! Earths gone. Disappeared. No suffering, no pain! Just gone! Like a lightbulb that just blew! And theres no one around to replace that light bulb!!!

On the other hand, and the more likely scenario is that nothing bad will happen. Theres always nay Sayers who jump on the band wagon and have got their lawsuits to stop whats going on!

Now, if shit doesn't get fecked up, then maybe we'll get flying cars from whatever they discover! And I'm talking real flying cars, not the crap that's around at the moment! I'm talking about the stuff they had in Hill Valley in Back to the Future II! Real kick ass flying cars! 

Maybe they'll discover other dimensions! Maybe some stuff will slip through? Maybe we need Hellboy to sort shit out! 

Oh yeah, almost forgot the hadron collider rap I played last night! It explains everything bar the Hellboy scenario! Or the end of the world part :)

Anyway, on a final note if the fan does start to get covered in shit, this is what I'll be listening to on Wednesday!

The one with nakedness!

Naked Listener night happens tonight!
