LOL. That might have a little to do with it. But more of it is that Porno is a drama-comedy and Pineapple is a straight-up comedy. I liked a lot of the emotional truths in Porno (with the exception of one scene I found a little too syrupy).
I missed Zack and Miri, but I'll be damned if Kevin Smith has made a more interesting movie than Pineapple Express. I still don't know what that movie is, but it's definitely more than a comedy. I'm one of Kevin Smith's regular defenders, but I know what he can and can't do, and I'm betting that Z&M is long on formal innovation. But I guess I'll have to see. :)
Iron Man is a pretty great superhero movie, but if it makes it on my list it's because of Robert Downey Jr. I mean, did anyone give a crap about the climactic showdown with Iron Monger? I didn't. The best parts of that movie were all up front or in the tail, I think. The climax was remarkably anti-.
And The Dark Knight... alas. I just can't get excited about it. I loved loved loved parts of it, and all of those parts involved Heath Ledger's Joker or a Skyhook. The movie's a huge mess, takes conflicting moral stances, and generally leaves me looking for a reason to even think about it. I really expected more from the makers of The Prestige.
Re: World of Warcraft I've been playing for a few weeks, and wow. I didn't think anything could be better than Baldur's Gate, but wow. I'm mostly solo-ing at this point, and really dread getting into group dynamics. Maybe I need to seek out your server.
Re: Y Just getting into this one, too. I think I'm up to the 3rd or 4th trade. It's interesting, but not something that I need to force myself away from. I know it gets better.

Iron Man should be on your list. Now I'm intrigued as to whether you liked Dark Knight.
I liked Pineapple Express more than I thought I would, but Zack and Miri Make a Porno is the far, far, FAR better Seth Rogen movie of 2008.
