Ode to 'Half Baked'

I just watched this classic on a 50" high def flat screen, and I have to say I have a newfound appreciation. Fucking awesome movie, if you've not partaken, I highly recommend.





My favorite quotes:

Scarface: "Fuck you, fuck you, fuck you, you're cool, and fuck you, I'm out!"

Scarface: "You said you gave Mary Jane a pearl necklace! How much did THAT cost?"
Thurgood: Obviously you missed the whole point of that story.

Thurgood: " You have smoked yourself retarded."

Kenny: [to horse] "Hey, girl! You hungry?"
Overweight Woman: [walking by and overhears] "Fuck you, nigga!"

Brian: "No man. No Billy Bong Thornton without Kenny. That wouldn't be right. Get Wesley Pipes."

Thurgood: "If I wasn't Jamaican, why would I wear this hat?"

Brian: [after falling from building] "AWWW, my NADS!"

Scarface: [surrounded by S.W.A.T.] "Yo, I'm a make a run for it, B!"





Ghengis recently bought a ridiculously large TV himself (56" to be exact) and he told me that you see things on a high def TV that you wouldn't normally notice, and it's funny because Half Baked doesn't have anything visually fancy to it, but now I can see what he was talking about.


G: "You know what looks really good on high def?"
K: "Um. Porn?"
G: "No, no, no... Dancing With The Stars."
K: "You're fucking with me right. You don't watch that."
G: "I'm serious! The girls, they wear these sparkle things on their skin, and with high def, you can actually see all sparkles, I shit you not."
K: "That's really exciting."
G: "I'm telling ya. It's cool."


Damned if I didn't notice all these little highlights in Mary Jane's hair, and the light catching her curls...even the sheen on Samson's velvet burn-out pants. I'm so impressed that I may even try to muster up some estrogen this week and watch Dancing With The Stars.
