[If that clip gets deleted, try here.]

Here’s the new red band trailer for the upcoming comedy Pineapple Express. The film stars Seth Rogen and James Franco, who worked together on Freaks and Geeks. Producer Judd Apatow came up with the “weed action movie” idea and Rogen wrote the screenplay with Evan Goldberg.

Based on this trailer, Pineapple Express looks like your typical stoner flick to me. Two guys who both like to smoke a lot of weed suddenly find themselves in a pickle. One guy says and does the darndest things when he’s high, the other guy lets him know this. Bad cops, random explosions, munchies — check, check, check.

When this seemingly unoriginal picture makes its way to theatres in August, I’ll be first in line for a ticket!

 
 

Tim Burton Would Never Do This To Us, Right? February 8, 2008

Lindsay In LaLa Land…

Guess which narcissistic celebutard wants the lead role in Tim Burton’s Alice In Wonderland remake? The one and only…

Lindsay Lohan:

I just hope they don’t want an unknown, I really want this part.”

Queen Latifah would make a better Alice, imo. I mean, at least that way a few people would go to see the movie.

 
 

Gallo Says Ciao To Giallo February 7, 2008

At Sunday’s Adidas Y-3 show, crazy Vincent Gallo told NYDN’s Patrick Huguenin that he no longer wants to be a part of Dario Argento’s crime thriller Giallo.

Gallo explained:

“After they cast Asia Argento, I’ve been trying to get out of it. I’d rather not be in a movie with her. I’m not a fan. I was a fan of her father’s. I’m retiring.”

Gallo was engaged to Argento for a short time in 1998. And while I’m not entirely sure why their relationship ended (anyone?), it’s still nice to see the two have managed to maintain a healthy post-breakup friendship.

Tom Cruise, Katie Holmes, and David Geffen at Vanity Fair’s 2007 Oscar party.

“After much consideration, and in support of the writers and everyone else affected by this strike, we have decided that this is not the appropriate year to hold our annual Oscar party. We want to congratulate all of this year’s nominees and we look forward to hosting our 15th Oscar party next year.”
