Another dopey movie. Looks fun, though. Also, considering the price of gas these days, watching this movie might suffice for people who in glory days gone by might’ve just fired up the family wagon for a trip to our fair coast, you know, to dream for a week about escaping the rat race like we all have. I was gonna try to fit more cliches into this post but have to get back to work now. Dude, 420! Oops, shoulda posted this this afternoon. Or in April. But that’ve been too late.

[…] Whoops, North Coast Journal had this and I saw it. I just didn’t click the link. Sorry […]
Oh, heck, that’s OK. Thanks for ref’ing back to here, though. Your post on it is fun, and mentions Rose’s “flabbergasted response” to Aunt Laura’s blog. Somebody wrote about this movie some time back, probably was Rose?
“On the margins of society.”
Love it.
So it’s like the book Humboldt Homegrown? And didn’t the funky homes start not with the hippies, but with the oakies?
Why can’t anybody make a normal film in Humboldt County for once?

I guess the Gnome-Mobile is the closest we are going to get.
a normal movie in humboldt county? yeah, that will sell real well…
it can start at the bayshore mall and focus old people walking for excersize. while still at the mall, the crew can do a shoot at hometown buffet, where the average diner weighs 350 pounds. then it can pan to a scene at the vacant boardwalk in eureka, where drug deals are more common than at walgreens. for the final scene, cowtippers in ferndale could be featured. real exciting.
its amazing to me how far people will go in order to deny the fact that people make money growing pot in humboldt county. why does the truth hurt some people so badly?
It isn’t the only way to make money in Humboldt County. Growing pot isn’t hip or cool and making a movie about it is as smart as making a movie about growing corn.
