[WakingTheMisery]

I don't think it can be good without Penn.

[Chris Fallon]

If both are back, I am totally down. I love me a good holiday movie.

Emphasis on good.

[rising_tied]

Dammit man I hope this is good

[popdisaster00]

I don't think it can be good without Penn.
This. Isn't he working in the white house now?

[Cheshire_Buddha]

This has bad idea written all over it. As much as I liked the first film, I didn't care at all for Escape and to turn the third into a Christmas film feels a little off.

Just make a NPH movie already.

[Losthope182]

Wow. Really? Why even bother is 50% of the title is suddenly going to look and act differently? Why hollywood needs to continuously cash in on shit is beyond me, it's not like they ended the second one with such a cliffhanger that people need the story finished. Absolutely ridiculous. If Kal Penn isn't a part of this, I will not be seeing this.....and even if he is, I might not see it anyway.

I love weed and stoner films as much as anyone but, do we really need another Harold and Kumar film?

[screamoutmyname]

i think the sequel might be where i have to draw the line.

i loved them both, but i can't see much good coming afterward

[just.Starla.]

I had no idea there was going to be another one until I saw John Cho talking about it last night on Jimmy Kimmel Live. Hopefully Kal decides to do it or else I probably won't be watching.

[Justin_stacy]

Just make a NPH movie already.

.....I want a Rosenberg and Goldstein movie.

[holyballs]

.....I want a Rosenberg and Goldstein movie.

this and your avatar gets funnier each time his head explodes.

[zubinmoosa]

I was hoping for an NPH spinoff...

[Justin_stacy]

this and your avatar gets funnier each time his head explodes.
:strong:

[B-Bones]

What about Aziz Ansari as Kumar? That could be good.

[heyozzie]

i love that site. and yea, i guess this could be funny. i feel like it ran its course though.

[MADSTA]

No Penn no care. I would be psyched otherwise.

[WhoSaidThat?]

Holyshitholyshitholyshitholyshit!!! !!!!

[Cheshire_Buddha]

.....I want a Rosenberg and Goldstein movie.

Eddie Kaye Thomas fucking annoys me.

[billyboatkid]

All three better be back.

[itsmesean0630]

Harold and Kumar without Kumar? Very rarely does replacing a main character work. Dumb idea.

[Justin_stacy]

Eddie Kaye Thomas fucking annoys me.

oh man I like him alot in this series and American Pie.

[Cheshire_Buddha]

oh man I like him alot in this series and American Pie.

Never really liked him in American Pie. Thought he was funny in the first Harold and Kumar, but didn't care for his one scene in the second. Then again, I thought the second blew overall. I wouldn't mind if they did a spin-off with the two characters, since I think it wouldn't be as bad as making a sequel without Penn.

[Justin_stacy]

Entertainment Weekly reported they're both coming back and the deals are finalized. Filming starts next summer when Penn's WH job is done.

[MADSTA]

Nice.

[Cheshire_Buddha]

Sweet. Good to know both are coming back.

[ThisIsNotDan]

i think the sequel might be where i have to draw the line.

i loved them both, but i can't see much good coming afterward

yeah this is essentially what I came to post

[screamoutmyname]

yeah this is essentially what I came to post

i have a feeling they'll try and bring back NPH

[Cheshire_Buddha]

i have a feeling they'll try and bring back NPH

It wouldn't be a Harold and Kumar movie without NPH.

[live.]

No no no no. No Harold and Kumar without Kal Penn.

[Chris Fallon]

No no no no. No Harold and Kumar without Kal Penn.
Since you failed to notice the above post...

[TachyonEvan]

All I care about is Neil Patrick Harris.

Since you failed to notice the above post...

Doh! My fail, I just read the first article and panicked. Very relieved.

Holy Crap!

Dude, your avatar is fantastic - where did that come from?

[Justin_stacy]

i have a feeling they'll try and bring back NPH

I read somewhere, and I can't find the link now, that he's willing to make a cameo appearence in another film and is willing to discuss the idea of making a stand alone film based on his character.

[DejaNew]

What about Aziz Ansari as Kumar? That could be good.
That would be amazing. Not the same though.

[screamoutmyname]

I read somewhere, and I can't find the link now, that he's willing to make a cameo appearence in another film and is willing to discuss the idea of making a stand alone film based on his character.

Haha I'd like to see how they plan to resurrect him.

It wouldn't be a Harold and Kumar movie without NPH.

True, true.

[Cheshire_Buddha]

Haha I'd like to see how they plan to resurrect him.

Already happened.

[Chris Fallon]

Holy Crap!

Dude, your avatar is fantastic - where did that come from?
I stumbled across it on some t-shirt website, and I couldn't resist making it my avy. It's one of my favorite running gags in TV ever haha

[TachyonEvan]

Well, it's awesome.
:thumbup:

Lol oh right... my bad :hitself:

[xtheaudition]

It was announced on April 3, 2010 that Kal Penn is leaving his job at the White House (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/White_House) and will reprise his role in the newest installment of the Harold and Kumar (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Harold_and_Kumar) series.

Danneel Harris (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Danneel_Harris) is rumored to be reprising her role of Vanessa.

[kaycey]

Yes.

[dundermifflin]

danneel harris is such a babe

New details:

* 119-page draft from January 22nd 2010 by Jon Hurwitz and Hayden Schlossber
* Harold and Kumar, now in their 30s, have not been on speaking terms for years. Harold is a married, drug-free, Wall Street executive, while Kumar is single, still living like a teenager, and has recently had his medical license suspended for smoking marijuana.
* The pair are reunited when a package intended for Harold arrives at their old apartment and Kumar must deliver it to Harold’s house. Kumar ends up burning down Harold’s special Christmas tree grown by his father-in-law, requiring the duo to seek out a replacement.
* According to Vulture, “Along for the ride this time are waffle-making robots (”It’s this year’s hot new toy — Wafflebot!”), a drug-taking infant who makes the baby from The Hangover look like a huge prude, and, of course, Neil Patrick Harris, who returns despite his having been shot to death outside of a whorehouse in H&K 2. There’s also a small role written for Kelly Ripa, as NPH’s co-host for a TV Christmas special, that we kinda doubt she’ll take (but really hope she does!).”
* The script also features a five-page claymation sequence in which Harold and Kumar, high on psychoactive eggnog, are chased through midtown Manhattan by a giant evil snowman. Perfect for 3D.

[DrStrong]

Epic.

[popdisaster00]

psychoactive eggnog haha

[DrStrong]

I wonder whose idea it was to have NPH play himself, but a total pervert druggie.

doesn't really make sense with the whole ending of the second movie and all...

[DrStrong]

what was the ending of the second? After the wedding scene i mean.

[alboneceleste]

The news just said Kal Penn was robbed at gunpoint at 130 am in DC this morning.

[IAmNietzche]

doesn't really make sense with the whole ending of the second movie and all...
Tons of time has passed since then though.

[cahrishurr]

Nope, not interested considering the sequel was so so at best.

[prefix-core]

Let me guess: They get stoned with Santa Claus too. I'm hesitantly excited about this. The sequel wasn't that great, but definitely made me laugh...But I really do love a solid Christmas movie (erm--by that, I mean the first Santa Clause and Christmas Vacation).

[SpyKi]

I'm looking forward to this. I love the first two.

[Smash Adams]

plot sounds eh but Thomas Lennon Patton and Danny Trejo are welcome additions

Seems unnecessary for this sequel, they don't even have their leading role back. The second one was alright but the first one was awesome.

[SkyHeldUpByStar]

That article is over a year old (May 2009). Kal Penn has since agreed to leave his position at the White House and is filming right now. They're filming here in Michigan.

He'll yeah! I will defiantly being seeing it now than. The plot sounds more like something like the first one rather than the second one. I liked the jokes and stuff from the second one but wasn't a big of fan of the plot. Even though the plot in the first one is as basic as they come.

[Smash Adams]

Out Novemeber 4th

[dundermifflin]

i don't know if i'll be in the christmas spirit around that time....

[xhmnimx]

Sick of waiting.

[Cheshire_Buddha]

The first was one of those comedies I could watch over and over again when I was younger, but the sequel felt like a direct-to-DVD piece of shit. Actually, I think it was suppose to go DTV.

[Smash Adams]

http://pics.livejournal.com/fairhearing/pic/000cfxxg

Due in theaters on November 4, Strauss-Schulson tells EW that the film is a “straight-up Christmas movie,” only one that apparently features robots, 3D smoke rings, lesbian nuns and a raunchy musical cameo by NPH (wait, only just a cameo? Say it ain’t so). He describes the picture as ultimately being “epically absurd.” God, we sure as shit hope so.

[x NIGHTMARE x]

A Christmas movie coming out before Thanksgiving? I love Christmas movies and that just makes like no sense.

That just made my day. Looks amazing.

[Indoor Living]

That trailer did not look good.

[tyler2tall147]

God that was funny. NPH is great. Here's a link from youtube

[terrycw89]

The trailer was better than I expected it to be.

[Brandon Allin]

3D bits look fucking ridiculous.

[RiCCioLi]

Sadly, this looks horrible. And the 3D was not a good move

[DaveFeelsRight]

dude from fucking college humor is in it? uhhh

[tkamB]

Looks so stupid, yet so awesome.

[xhmnimx]

I'm so excited.

[popdisaster00]

Should be a fun christmas flick.

[SkyHeldUpByStar]

I remember when they shot this here in Michigan. Seems like so long ago now. Looking forward to it.

[xhmnimx]

Where in Michigan was it shot? I wish I knew at the time.

[brandon_260]

Super excited.

[Miss Heartcore]

Watched the trailer for this over a week ago and laughed at nearly everything. Hopefully those weren't the best parts of the movie.

[drudo182]

Saw the trailer before Fright Night yesterday. Looks meh.

"my baby is fucked on cocaine"

[xhmnimx]

So close!

[popdisaster00]

Yeah, this will hopefully be a riot.

[brandon_260]

Planning on seeing this right before my high school graduation tomorrow.

[xthinkagain]

Pleasebegoodpleasebegoodpleasebegoo dpleasebegood.

[Brandon Allin]

Why is this coming out so long before Christmas? Just curious.

[colorlesscliche]

Seeing this tonight, haven't been following it much, but I've been a fan of the previous movies.

[thisisadisaster]

honestly some of the best 3D i have ever seen.

[Smash Adams]

Lion's Gate shopping a cartoon...

[Gaugzilla]

I like that of all the movies released, this is the best reviewed on Metacritic this week.

[colorlesscliche]

honestly some of the best 3D i have ever seen.

Especially the weed smoke.

[thisisadisaster]

Especially the weed smoke.

the weed smoke and the snow were fantastic.

[xthinkagain]

I like that of all the movies released, this is the best reviewed on Metacritic this week.
Yeah, it kinda restores my hopes. Not that I wasn't already excited. I mean a weed/Christmas movie with Doogie Howser? Recipe for tits.

[Plus155]

I honestly wasn't impressed. I enjoyed the first two, but this one just wasn't very funny, unfortunately.

[DemBitties]

Planning on seeing this right before my high school graduation tomorrow.

Who graduates high school in November?

[Brandon Allin]

I honestly wasn't impressed. I enjoyed the first two, but this one just wasn't very funny, unfortunately.
Why do you hate Christmas?

[brandon_260]

Who graduates high school in November?
That's how they schedule it. I don't plan it.

[DemBitties]

That's how they schedule it. I don't plan it.

No, I mean aren't most graduations in May or June?

November is in the middle of the next school year. Haha.

[brandon_260]

No, I mean aren't most graduations in May or June?

November is in the middle of the next school year. Haha.
Every other school in my area is like that, but they hold the ceremony in November at mine. Very inconvenient.

On a different note, the movie was, but my least favorite of the three.

[Plus155]

Why do you hate Christmas?

Because I'm a very sad, bitter person.

[Brandon Allin]

Because I'm a very sad, bitter person.
At the very least, you're honest. Bless your soul, Scrooge.

[airik625]

Will be seeing with the week.

Also can a mod merge the other thread into this one?

[xhmnimx]

I loved it.

[Brandon Allin]

Saw this last night. Really enjoyed it.

[WordzandDreamz]

I was fairly disappointed in this. Then again, I didn't like the second one at first and it has grown on me since.

[toothpaste]

which should i watch. this or tower heist?

[Smash Adams]

wafflebot and nph were great, would have liked more Gelman and Patton though

[LongDistanceDrunk]

is there a decent version of this out there online? I really wanted to watch it again for the holidays but I didn't realize it wasn't in theaters anymore

[brndnschltfld]

Saw this last night. Wasn't very impressed. It was funny at first then it became a drag as it went along.

[popdisaster00]

I would have enjoyed this more watching it on DVD and not spending $10 on it at the theater

[xhmnimx]

I'm saving my best buy gift card on this when it comes out in February.

[LongDistanceDrunk]

I'm saving my best buy gift card on this when it comes out in February.
Holy shit I didn't know it was coming out then. From my experience most Christmas movies don't usually get released until Nov/Dec. I'm excited to see it again

[popdisaster00]

I'm saving my best buy gift card on this when it comes out in February.
You should just redbox it for a dollar and buy something better dude

[xhmnimx]

Holy shit I didn't know it was coming out then. From my experience most Christmas movies don't usually get released until Nov/Dec. I'm excited to see it again

Yeah, I'm pretty sure that's when it comes out. I read about it on amazon, I think. Sounds about right.

[xhmnimx]

You should just redbox it for a dollar and buy something better dude

It wasn't the best, I just love these movies, hah. Plus I want to own all three. The first two are some of my favorite movies.

[LongDistanceDrunk]

Yeah, I'm pretty sure that's when it comes out. I read about it on amazon, I think. Sounds about right.
uh yeah. According to Amazon it comes out like Feb. 7

[Gaugzilla]

Yea, this wasn't very good.

[LongDistanceDrunk]

Thought it was fucking hysterical but didn't care for the sappy Christmas shit. Just seemed kind of forced. Hopefully it's better upon the second viewing.

[bobcatbob18]

Just redboxed this badboy. I was pleasantly surprised at how much I laughed. Very solid.
