Pineapple Express Trailer: The Greatest Video of All Time
Categories: Video
Written By: Mark Casey
I hate stoner movies. I know what their appeal is, and I don’t hate potheads or preach about drug use — I just hate their movies. I think movies like Half Baked are boring, and use “carefree wackiness” as an excuse for making a substandard, endlessly irritating movie.
Enter Seth Rogen, who is rapidly becoming my favorite guy in Hollywood. He’s the dude who knocked up Katherine Heigl in Knocked Up, and played an immature cop in Superbad.
His next project, which he wrote and stars in, is about potheads who get mixed up in the seedy world of professional murder. It’s called Pineapple Express, and it has the single greatest trailer I’ve seen for a movie in maybe a decade. As usual, it’s all about the music, so watch out for the second half, when M.I.A’s “Paper Planes” starts to play over slow motion clips from the movie. It’s so incredibly effective as background music, you actually experience that “falling in love” feeling in your chest, which is usually reserved for girls who play tennis.
(Yes, I know Judd Apatow produced it. But if you listened to our latest Podcast, you’d know that Seth Rogen trumps Judd Apatow every time.)

Maybe you could edit the page name Pineapple Express Trailer: The Greatest Video of All Time | Melted Reel Online to something more generic for your content you write. I enjoyed the blog post withal.
