The Harold And Kumar: Escape From Guantanamo Bay DVD comes out July 29, and will have a special feature that no other movie has probably had, via CC Insider:
the DVD release of Harold & Kumar Escape From Guantanamo Bay will include a Choose Your Own Adventure-style feature called "Dude, Change the Movie." It appears that viewers can alter the movie, which will have access to 27 additional scenes.
Ooooh! Oooh! I know this one! Pick me! Spoiler alert: the first five minutes of the movie will totally ruin your crush on Kal Penn if you had one, which I did. To describe it in detail would not be appropriate for a family blog, but let's just say he has terrible diarrhea in the same bathroom where Harold is taking a shower and then does himself in a scene that required the prop department to prepare by buying yogurt. It's really incredibly gross. The old lady sitting in front of me in the theater jumped up and literally ran out. That may be some sort of sign that I should give up watching stoner comedies, but if there's a chance to dude, change the movie, I say dude, take out the first five minutes.
(Also, whatever you do, never ever ever do a YouTube search for kumar toilet. It's not the movie.)
Can you feel the excitement in the air? No, not Spring, but this weekend's much-anticipated much-hyped comedy movie smackdown. This weekend, funny-film lovers with less than 198 minutes on their hands will face a gut-wrenching Sophie's choice: Baby Mama and Harold And Kumar: Escape From Guantanamo Bay are coming out. On the same weekend! After months of zero decent comedies! (Forgetting Sarah Marshall notwithstanding.) I will be seeing both, of course, but I did an informal lunchtime IM poll of fourteen friends to try get an idea of which movie is winning among people who have, in the past, been willing to give me their instant messenger usernames. Turns out, one of them is really kicking the other one's ass:
John Cho and Kal Penn were on Leno last night, promoting their sure-to-be-awesome Harold And Kumar 2: Escape From Guantanamo Bay. Jay asks John Cho about his next project, playing Sulu in JJ Abram's upcoming Star Trek prequel/remake, and John explains why there's only one Asian guy in the Star Trek future:
Later in the show, we learn that Kal Penn was planning to take his "parents and brother" to the premiere of Harold and Kumar 2. What, no girlfriend? Kal, if you're Googling yourself and reading this, I will go to premieres with you!
