From the Editor's Desk: My Pineapple Just Burst

For a very short while today, some folks were able to watch a leaked Red Band trailer for Pineapple Express over on YouTube. A little birdie gave us the heads up, and I was right in the middle of bringing you folks the leaked version when I had to stop writing and -- wham -- the video was gone. But I can tell you that what I watched had me in friggin' stitches. Holy crap is this movie going to be funny. I won't say much as to not spoil the trailer (because it will be online soon, promise), but I just about lost my lunch when Seth Rogen stuck his head in a bag of weed and James Franco said, "Smell it ... it's like God's vagina."
Like with most of the films Judd Apatow sticks his name on, the regular "family-friendly" trailer does it no justice. Oh no, you NEED to see this Red Band trailer. It's absolutely fantastical! I think I'll go on record now saying this will be the funniest film of the summer -- an action comedy starring Seth Rogen and James Franco, produced by Judd Apatow and directed by ... David Gordon Green. Crazy. Anyway, just thought I'd release some excitement since I can't bring you the trailer now. Fear not, though, because when this puppy officially hits, we'll be the first to let you know.
UPDATE: A few different websites grabbed the trailer, and have it up now (for how long -- we dunno). Kinda not allowed to go there, but I'd check out all the usual suspects.

(Page 1)2. I saw an early version of this waaaay back in August, a full year before the release date, and it was AMAZING!!! It will be the funniest movie of the year hands down.

5. No, it hasn't been around for awhile. You're linking to an extended clip -- what I'm talking about is the new red-band trailer that's not out yet, but was leaked online earlier today.

7. Much agreed. The red band trailer is different from the video in the links above and it is much, much, more hilarious.
Just search for "red band Pineapple Express" and you'll find it.

8. This looks funny to you? Yet another stupid stoner comedy? No thanks.

9. The trailer on the Superbad DVD was awful. Pot worship. If you're into it maybe you're into it. If you're not you don't get it. I guess kind of like how if you're not into ICP you won't get a DVD glorifying juggalos.
Maybe there's more to the movie. Hopefully there's more to the movie. But two stoners talking about how much they love pot wasn't particularly funny.
I'll keep an open mind until I see this vastly more hyped red-band trailer.
