I went to see Pineapple Express last night. I'd really been looking forward to it. And it was supremely funny in places. But I came away feeling just a little bit disappointed. This was probably mostly to do with the ending, which just seemed to go on and on (in much the same vein as Hot Fuzz, and I felt the same way about that). Seth Rogen and James Franco are as watchable as ever, but it just fell a little flat for me.
Rather excitingly I got to see the trailer for Quantum of Solace which was pretty exciting. But I have a gripe. It was way longer than it needed to be. They should tantalise and just show you little glimpses, especially with a Bond film where people are pretty much going to see it anyway; I mean, it's not that likely that the trailer will make someone who isn't interested in Bond films think "Oh, that actually looks quite good".
At least it wasn't too long. Some trailers practically show you the whole film. And the rule is the longer the trailer, the worse the film, At least in my experience.
Still, I can't wait to see it!
