But that's not the same thing at all.

If you're a cop watching a cop movie then BAM, you're good, you've got the "experience" and so you may enjoy it more than, oh, say, a politician or a gay hair dresser or an emo, Linkin Park kid.

Just like this movie is MADE with potheads in mind, and so if you have smoked pot before or are actually high upon seeing it, it's probably funnier to you. But if you have NEVER smoked pot before, then shut the fuck up, because you have no reference point. You probably still think you can fly with dogs over fucking Manhattan or that you would feed a horse three bags of junk food when you're high. You're ignorant to highness.

Just like I never really liked "Dazed and Confused" until after I was 13, which was when I started smoking pot and getting into shit.


This is actually a conversation I've had a bunch of times with people at my Film School, cause there's a distinct line in our class between the preppy rich kids who have never smoked weed, dropped acid, taking mushrooms, broken the law, done any of that normal "losing your innocence" sort of shit, and then there are the ones who have, like me.

One half has kids who wear Captain America shields on their school ID badges and who wore Indiana Jones costumes TO SCHOOL the day it came out.

I don't think I have to say which it was.

This is one of the most retarded things I've ever read on these boards...

AND you're a film student!?!?

It's a fucking movie. Intended... to be... a good... MOVIE. While I think it is kind of funny that you try to take some sort of credit as a pothead for the movie being created, it wasn't written to cater to potheads. It was written to cater to people who like the genre. No movie is written strictly for people who can relate to things the characters do. To get all pissed because people who aren't potheads actually think the movie is funny and claim they need to "shut the fuck up because they have no reference point" is beyond retarded. I really hope you never actually make a stoner movie that you have to promote. "Hey everyone, go see my movie if you're a pothead. It's really well written and the performances are amazing but if you've never gotten high, shut the fuck up and stay out of the fucking theater."



I swear just reading that entire post actually made me hate potheads a little. Not to even mention the paragraph where you subtly try to raise yourself above the "preppy rich kids" who never got into shit.

Like I said, no reference point. I understand what you're saying and that's fine, I don't care if you smoke pot or not. But still, don't say that the movie isn't influenced by drugs, that it isn't created with drug users in mind, because that's wrong. You don't understand and who knows, maybe you never will, but that's cool.

Steve Jobs said it best about Bill Gates: "I wish him the best, I really do. I just think he and Microsoft are a bit narrow. He'd be a broader guy if he'd dropped acid once or gone off to an Ashram when he was younger."
