In perhaps one of our more inspired double features to date, yoblo and I watched these two in a consecutive evening/morning combination. Reflections:
* Faye Dunaway is seriously hot, and knows how to wield both a gun and an chess piece.
* Both films do a nice job of mocking the Hollywood myths of crime movies, or, in the case of B+C, our own romantic myths about famous criminals. The first bank Clyde tries to rob to impress Bonnie has defaulted: there’s no money to be found. And, in what may be the most inspired moment of Pineapple Express, James Franco’s character Sol tries to kick out the windshield of a car only to get his foot stuck in the hole he creates in the glass.
* Seth Rogen must ALWAYS be high, because he is supposedly high during this entire film, and he acts no differently than he always does.
* Sorry, Hilary, but I agree with Faye: you don’t have the gravitas to pull off this role. Good luck and everything, though!

Rogen is awful… It’s annoying when an actor plays the same character in every film, it’s doubly annoying when that character is the actor him/herself, and it’s triply annoying if that person is a stoner.
