Harold and Kumar

On TBS right now. I love this movie because, as anyone who grew up in Jersey can attest, you will drive 90 minutes to find a White Castle no matter what.

 

I've never had a White Castle burger.

 

The sequel is premiering at South By Southwest in a month.

 

This movie became sort of a inside joke cult hit at my grad school, if only because one of our professors was a dead ringer for Neil Patrick Harris (Doogie Howser), mannerisms and all.

 

Are you from New Jersey? If so, go out and get one right now. There used to be a White Castle in Edison. Edison is 45 minutes from everywhere, isn't it?

 

I was debating between Harold and Kumar and Bulworth. Went with Bulworth, because it had been a while since I'd seen it.
The ice cream scene made it certainly worth it.
Warren Beatty convinces the cops who are harrassing the group of kids to get in their car and take off.
He tells one of the cops to apologize, and then instructs one of the kids to say "No problem officer."
"Go fuck yourself you fucking pig cocksucker."
"Good enough."

 

I'm from New York, and I spent most of my life staying away from Jersey. Not even the best of burgers can get me to go there voluntarily.

 

Not to mention the fact you'd have to pay roughly $100 in tolls to get in and out of the city. Fair enough, sir.

 

The last time I was in Jersey, a cop pulled me and my friend over and then got us out of the car, questioned me for being high because my "pupils are huge." After we passed all the tests, I said, "Sir, all we want to do is get out of New Jersey. Any help you can give us would be great."

 

If nothing else, this film is notable for resurrecting Doogie Howser's career.

And I have no opinion on White Castle, mainly because I've never had one. As far as I know, the only White Castle within 500 miles of my house is on Broadway in Nashville, but I've never gotten around to stopping there.

For those who've had both, what's the difference between a White Castle burger and a Krystal?

 

I never ate a White Castle while sober in five years at Indiana.

So, I'm not much good.

My guess is that Krystals are a little thicker, and a littler lighter on the onion.

Others: Yes? No?

 

I just flipped over for 5 minutes and flipped back. They completely cut the best scene in the movie, right after they steal the skateboarder's car and pop in the "Extreme Mix Tape" of
Total Eclipse of the Heart, Baby Baby and Hold On.

Fuckers over at TBS.
