Ahoy, squirts! Quint here. This movie pretty much just blipped on my radar screen for the first time a couple weeks ago. I'd heard there was some Ed Norton movie shooting in Louisiana, but I didn't really start looking into it until recently.
This could be the best movie ever... Edward Norton plays twins, both geniuses... one's an academic, a college professor, the other is a pot-grower in Oklahoma... and the pot grower is actually the more brilliant one, creating a strain of marijuana that is the perfect smoke.
One of the fringe benefits of spending time with professionally funny people is that they are constantly recommending things that make them laugh. TV shows. Films. Books. Stand-up comics. Things from around the world, some old, some still unreleased. Two such things, both of them highly recommended to me by people whose taste I trust, finally hit my desk recently, and to my great pleasure, both of them more than lived up to the advance word I’d heard.
B.J. Novak is taking time off from “The Office” to star in Quentin Tarantino’s “Inglourious Basterds,” but an “insider” tells Entertainment Weekly’s Michael Ausiello that his character, Ryan Howard, may be leaving Dunder Mifflin for good:
The Weinstein Company has agreed to distribute a concert documentary following 62-year-old Cheech Marin & 70-year-old Tommy Chong’s “Light Up America” tour. Whether the company is distributing it to cinemas or TV has not yet been decided.
It’ll be the duo’s first movie together since 1990’s “Far Out Man.”
