OK. We finally watched Harold and Kumar. At one point, the DH was lying face down on the floor in front of the TV, crying, he was laughing so hard. Kal Penn has got screen charisma and to spare.
Gunn: You ready? Fred: Is no an acceptable answer?

Buffista Movies 5: Development Hell
A place to talk about movies--old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."
I think I would have liked Harold and Kumar better if it had worked from an absolutely straight-faced production: like, if the raccoon stunt had been less obviously fake; if the cheetah thing had been replaced with something that could actually happen. I like slapstick as much as the next person, but I like my slapstick to look like it is happening without too obvious an authorial hand helping it along.
I admit, the likelihood of a coked-out Doogie Howser, looking for girls, showing up in rural New Jersey is not high; but being able to ride a cheetah, I am thinking no.

Which point? Because the scene with Hold On does that to me every single time.

Nutty commenting on the realism of scenes involving cheetahs? The comedy practically writes itself.

I know, I know. But rewatching Holiday recently only reconfirmed my opinion.
