Marijuana Movie Night

Tourists in the Wasteland

So we are fucking up the earth pretty good and that means, not activism or government and corporate responsibility, but more Hollywood movies about post-fucked up earth. With global warming and unhinged weather, it's probably easier to ignore it by going to the movies.

Tom Cruise has a few dystopian films kicking around his filmography. Oblivion looked gorgeous with sexy spaceships and a crumbling New York City, but it might as well have been a live action WALL-E. Doesn't look like a good marijuana movie, but then again, none of Cruises' films make the stoner grade. Stick with the Top Gun & Mission Impossible films.

Do what you want, fellow stoner film aficionados, but I would skip everything else and go right to A Boy and His Dog. A telekinetic dog and his human friend, a young Don Johnson, scampering around the wasteland just trying to survive. Get a little stoned and maybe rent Road Warrior for a good double feature. So be a little rugged, roll a joint and enjoy.

Thanks to Seth Combs for reminded me that Don Johnson can be cool even if it ain't the 80s in Miami.
