THE QUINTESSENTIAL "DON'T SEE IT STRAIGHT" MOVIE EVENT OF THE '90s.

PIC INFO: Resolution at 812x1212 -- Spotlight on an advance one-sheet movie poster design for the 1993 American stoner comedy "DAZED AND CONFUSED" (1993), written & directed by Richard Linklater. Gramercy Pictures.

"I have watched "Dazed and Confused" approximately sixty-five times, and I have been stoned for approximately sixty-four of those viewings. At this point, it seems unfathomable to watch this movie without being high; in fact, it’s entirely possible that watching this movie actively releases THC into my bloodstream. But I do know this: I was not smoking pot the first time I watched "Dazed and Confused." And I know this because I was drunk.

There has never been a movie I wanted to see as much as "Dazed and Confused." This was primarily due to my somewhat fanatical affinity for "Slacker" (1991), a movie I some­times watched twice a day. Prior to "Slacker," it had never occurred to me that a narrative could exist without a plot, a rudimentary realization that instantaneously reinvented my understanding of almost everything. The fact that "Dazed and Confused" was named after a LED ZEPPELIN song was almost as important: as a college junior in 1993, I glamorized the 1970s to a degree that now seems absurd.

I had, technically, lived through 80 percent of that particular decade, but it still seemed distant and alien and unknowable; the culture of the recent past seemed wholly incomparable to the conditions of the present. At the time, my favorite rock bands were NIRVANA and GUNS N’ ROSES, but — even then — I certainly didn’t think either one was anything like ZEPPELIN (or even anything like Peter Frampton). That would have been like comparing Bill Clinton to Abe Lincoln. So even though I had no idea whatsoever about its plot, I suspected "Dazed and Confused" was going to incarnate a zeitgeist I wanted to inhabit yet never could (and never would). This was the kind of hopeless, self-reflexive dream that made very, very excited."

"How High" (2001) Directed by Jesse Dylan (Comedy/Fantasy)

[ehgood-enough]

This was another spite check out. I think Seth Rogen is funny but let’s be real he’s movies are thought to be kinda bad trashy whatever movies. So I may have taken out almost every seth Rogen movie I haven’t watched in the last couple of months.

Pineapple Express is great. I’ve seen it a few times in the past year and it still has me laughing out loud. Seth rogen and James Franco just make great movies together

How were 90s/2000s stoner movies more homoerotic than like 98% of the gay movies I've seen? That right there is my relationship goal, just two nerdy guys who smoke weed and play video games and hang out at the mall together and stuff.

Title: Hey Joe (Where You Goin With That Bud In Your Hand?)

Release date: 23 Jan 2005

Budget: $12 million

Box Office: $7 million

Due to its quick turnaround time, HDWYGwTBiYH is arguably the first wide release stoner film to criticize the so-called War on Terror. It performed poorly at the box office, partially due to New Line Cinema's interference and lack of promotion. The film's first draft was a comedic-heroic tale of Afghan farmers ending the war by growing enough marijauna for every US soldier and Taliban member to sit down and smoke together, but studio executives called the concept "too political" and called in writer Philip Stark (That 70s Show, Dog with a Blog) to transform it into a period piece lampooning Vietnam War moves. The resulting compromise "neither provoke[d] nor entertain[ed]"¹ critics, and audiences seemed to agree--even today, the film is 1.8 stars on IMDB², a 22 on the Tomatometer³™️, and has a metacritic score of 12.⁴

The Zombie Apocalypse in Apartment 14f

Sometimes I embarrass myself. My search for something different led me to Gilbert Allen’s THE ZOMBIE APOCALYPSE IN APARTMENT 14F (2019, Tubi, YouTube) because it had an interesting premise. Three losers (really one loser and two ultra-losers) using a drone to spy on the sex worker in the apartment below them accidentally send the drone a floor lower, where they discover what seems to be a zombie infestation. What do they do? Well, in this film the most interesting of the three (Wesley Sellick), the one who’s just a loser, tumbles to his death trying to retrieve the drone when it gets stuck in some netting. The remaining two (Griffin Cork and Ben Francis) snort endless lines of coke and talk…forever. They compare notes on zombie science (and get THE WALKING DEAD wrong) and discuss what they’d like to do to the sex worker. And that’s it. No action, no wit, nothing but what looks like bad improv for about an hour. It was all shot on a shoestring with a grant from the Alberta government and without a discernible lick of talent. In the U.S., we have a movement called mumblegore — low-budget, imaginative horror films rooted in improvisational theatre — and it’s produced some quite good films like A HORRIBLE WAY TO DIE (2010) and YOU’RE NEXT (2011), along with some utter drek. This doesn’t even make it up to the drek level. It’s not mumblegore. It’s mumblesnore.
