John you’re straight right?
I am actually excited to see pineapple express. Though mirrors ive been really excited to see for mths now because i am a huge sutherland fan.
What did you think of the shanghi films that had wilson in them. Also you me and dupree
Hey Gene,
As I said in the discussion, my main problem with Pineapple Express is that it’s a comedy and it didn’t make me laugh. It just wasn’t funny.
Yes, it was better than Drillbit Taylor
I think Wilson can be a very solid actor (The Darjeeling Limited, The Royal Tenenbaums, Wedding Crashers)
Sorry about my post above. My enter button sticks.
John, what exactly were your main gripes with pineapple express. Another question do you think it was an improvment over the tripe drillbit talor,also do you like owen wilson as an actor.

Hey Gene,
We still are boycotting Variety’s stories and we’re not linking to them anymore.
What happened to the veriety boycott.
GREAT show john…. congrats on the good work…
i miss doug =[
Hey Umberhaven,
Make sure you’re using the new feed that is listed in this post. It does work.
Cheers!
i really liked pineapple express, i was suprised that you didn’t get many lulz from it, john.
The iTunes subscription still does not have the most recent podcasts, including this one. Will this be fixed soon?
Hey John,
Does livevideo at least have the audio version of friday’s (8/1) podcast?
I was also in a foul mood because my feed kept skipping.
Damn you Kristopher, now I feel like an asshole. It wasn’t you as much as it was the topics of discussion. The Vicky Christina Barcelona talk was what bored me, but it picked up after that. I apologize for the rude comment.
Kristopher you were great. Come back anytime. Well as much as campea will allow you.
Look I love doug but I it was nice to have someone on the show who didn’t say “the film would have been great if it was shorter”
Freeman: Doug will be back on Monday. I can’t compete. Guilty. He’s an unstoppable force.
Padthai (great username, by the way): I can’t exactly say the King Tut/Egg Head joke is the most original thing in the world, since I’ve probably heard it a thousand times since 1989. But I CAN say I steer clear of 90% of anything associated with Kevin Smith, so I’m not guilty of jacking that one from him.
Next time I guess I’ll have to take it to the next level to avoid the association. Lord Marmaduke Ffogg, perhaps. Or Louie the Lilac.
Thanks for the props guys. I’ll be out of your hair Monday and Doug will be back in all his glory. Thanks again to John for having me.
Hey guys,
Last Friday’s show had a technical problem with our exported video file and so we weren’t able to put it up after the fact.
Hey Scotty,
Actually… the camera is supposed to follow me and cut to wherever I’m looking. We don’t have lights on the cameras showing which one is active, and our monitor is on a 10 second delay… so the editor in the back does his best to cut to whichever camera I decide to look at.
It’s not perfect, but I think he does a pretty good job.
John when you going to get used to the close-up shots when your camera cuts away and does your close-up ….you miss it everytime! ;) Me and my mates have started taking bets to see if your ever gonna get it right !
Love the site + shows BTW
I think that as a rule, Doug should Barbarian Tit Movie flashcards for any guests while he is on vacation. Because seriously, that’s what the movie blog is all about right?
oh yeah the King Tut and Egghead joke.. that was stolen from Kevin Smith.
I still think Mr. Freeze would be very good as the next villain for Batman
Kris was cool… def. a dry sense of humor which is good to have around
Great show again guys. I liked Kristopher very much, but it will be nice to have Doug back.
@ Sound Designer Dan
I asked about the Friday uncut twice already, but I tend to get ignored. They have it archived on http://www.livevideo.com/liveshow/uncut but it doesn’t play from the beginning.
I guess I find myself in the minority…
i think bale said that the voice was because he didnt feel serious wearing the coustome & the voice was a way to make him feel more serious about it.
the stupid part is that, as batman, he’ll still talk to rachel in the batman voice even though she knows who she is
First off, where is the friday (8/1) show? I tried looking at livevideo.com/uncut and I can’t find it.
– Kris, at first glance why so serious?
– Thought Pineapple Express is the best comedy so far this year. A 8/10 for me.
– I know a lot of people hate Batman’s voice but the true reason why his voice sucks so much is that Rich King, the sound designer, and Chris Nolan wanted Batman to have a deeper voice than usual so they used Bale’s original voice and increased the bass and compressed the dynamic range. If you want to hear what Bale’s Batman sounds like without all the sweetening, listen to his Batman voice in Batman Begins. It’s there in all it’s undiluted glory.
– Once again, great show John. If only you could have Doug and Kris in the same room.
pineapple was cool
but the trailers made it look more like a comedy/funny than what it was
& it didnt feel like a judd apatow movie
but still way better than drillbit & walk hard
Lovely change to the show – always entertaining and informative, as usual.
Variety is the spice of life – no pun intended.
That was a great show. Kris is really articulate and was refreshing. Don’t misunderstand me, Doug rules, but having a guy a little more analytical and knowledgeable about film was a nice change up.
Good job John. You seem to be able to feed to the strengths of whoever your co-host is. The DSC people were a nice touch too.
No offense, but this one was pretty boring without Doug :(
