BombWatch: Ride the Express; or, Damn you Braid!

The multiple titles have returned.

So, I'm just gonna get right into it. I saw Pineapple Express today. It was damn funny. How would I rank it with other Judd Apatow films? I would say it's better than Superbad, but slightly below Knocked Up in terms of hilarity. James Franco was awesome in it. It's hard to believe he was the same guy who played Harry Osbourne in Spider-Man. In terms of a numerical rating, like I've seen on the various blogs on this site...well, I don't use the 1-10 scale. I like the traditional four star movie scale. I'd probably give it a good 3 out of 4 stars, maybe a 3.5 out of 4. I'll need to think about it a bit, but it's totally worth seeing either way.

Also, I'm pissed off at Braid, that new Xbox Live Arcade game. Not because it's bad, quite the contrary, it's totally damn awesome. The problem is that it's $15! Why the hell would you sell it for $15. With other awesome games selling for less, it may get lost in the shuffle, which is a shame because, as I said before, it was awesome. I currently have less than 1200 MS points so I can't buy it anyway, but with Bionic Commando coming out next week, I might need to skip it, which would be a shame.

The last thing I'm gonna say before I do other things, like listen to the latest Bombcast, is that I finally started reading Watchmen. It's awesome, end of story.

That's pretty much it. I'm out.

considering braid isnt a well known title, unless you go to gaming websites, im also very suprised about the price. If I had never heard of it before, theres noway im even considering getting it, let alone even downloading the trial. 

And the fact that you think knocked up is more funny then superbad...were you high when you watched knock up?? lol im jp, totally disagree with that though

I wasn't high when I watched Knocked Up, but I'm sure some people were high in the theater I saw Pineapple Express in. And Knocked Up is a better movie, hands down. There really is no argument.

I loved Superbad, but you're totally right: Knocked up is a better and more intelligent movie. Superbad is on par with something like Clerks, whereas Knocked Up is contending with brilliant movies like Chasing Amy and, even, Before Sunrise.

It seems like the XBLA prices are gonna be going up.  I heard that Castle Crashers might be around the same price
