Pineapple Express is a movie that stars Seth Rogen as Dale Denton who is a 25-year-old process server. Dale is a male who is constantly smoking weed. The whole movie pineapple express takes a turn around when he is going to deliver a debt paper to Ted Jones a drug lord. When he is about to step out of the car he witnesses Ted Jones and his girlfriend Carol murdering an Asian. This brings us t the plot of the movie which is him being followed by Ted. Ted wants to murder Dale so he will not say anything about what he witnessed. Ted is able to follow Dales tracks by a roach(blunt) that he throughout the window. That was not just any roach, it contained Pineapple Express a type of weed that Ted provided and only to one supplier.
Throughout the story there are many quotes and things that the characters state that made the story a comedy and made everything in the movie function.
What’s down there, a fucking Rancor?
This was one of the quotes within the movie that attracted my attention. This is a rhetorical question mixed with a comedy and sarcasm. This was a good use of syntax that spurred my laughter. This specifically caught my attention because I remembered rancor from the movie star wars.
This is like if that Blue Oyster s#*&% met that African Kush I had - and they had a baby. And then, meanwhile, that crazy Northern Light stuff I had and the Super Red Espresso Snowflake met and had a baby. And by some miracle, those two babies met and fu#$% - this would the s#$& that they birthed.
When I heard this line I was line oh my god. It made me laugh so much. This line uses great diction. All the quote was used to explained that the pineapple express was that good. When in another case he could have used something like this is the best weed he’d ever have, he decides to add meaning to the statement and give a more visual demonstration of how good it was.

Talk about the most inapproriate movie to talk about in a school blog.
I've always wanted to see this movie!
So, here's a question for you: Do you believe that cussing is necessary for all movie that deal with drugs, violence, etc?
It seems that in these kinds of movies there always seems to be very very foul language. Is it a necessity?
So, yeah, the diction is so "modern" compared to other movies. How about you check out more classical movies like "Gone with the Wind?"
Dear Hernan,
I've never hard of this movie before, but after getting a brief summary about what it is about it sounds pretty interesting. Now I want to watch it because it seems as if has a lot of action and drama in it. From the pieces of dialogue that you chose from the movie you can tell that it has a lot of bad language, but they do contain good use os syntax and diction.Hopefully the next movie you talk about is also good.
Dear Hernan,
I actually haven’t seen the movie ‘Pineapple express.’ I can really give much of an opinion, because I have not seen it myself. I honestly think this was not a good choice for your blog. Yes, it does catch our attention, very fast. But, this example brings down your credibility. I really like how u broke everything down and explained each quote, but I just don’t think is that appropriate, even though were always surrounded by those words, and visualizations. Also, how come you don't consider old classic movies?
Hey there Hernan,
I wasn'tnecessarily expecting this movie,but i think it is a good movie. Although the movie is inappropiate,that doesn't mean that you cannot learn anything from it.I've seen the movie and I think it is funny and it own way.On the other hand,my sister thinks it is the dumbmest movie,but I think it all about how you see it.
The movie uses alot of syntax and funny language that the foullanguage is nonetheless insulting.I remember one part of the movie when they were cussign at each other and nothig personal got in the way.In sum,try to choose another movie that can really be talked about. Like I said, movies like "Pineapple Express" and "Zach and Miri Make A Porno" are funny,but to one extend.
