Just two things

One: I'm obsessed with the Olympics. I saw it coming; I mean, I've loved them ever since the Atlanta games in 1996, when I paraded around with my very own Olympic flag during the opening ceremonies. But with the men's breathtaking 4X100 freestyle relay victory, and the women's gymnastics team rallying after several injuries and coming in second for the team, and getting first and second in the individual all-around competition. Plus they're just so tiny and cute!

Two: I just got back from Pineapple Express (which I had actually seen back in May, as part of 466, with James Franco as special guest) and I really think it's the funniest of Apatow's movies. Well... it's hard to beat Superbad. But it's neck and neck. The physicality of the film is intensely funny, and I love Rogen as the straight man to Franco. Their relationship is so adorable. That's really all I can say. It's funny and touching. And Craig Robinson (Matheson, aka Darryl from The Office!) is amazing. He is really a great actor. All his roles are so different, and yet all are hilarious: the bouncer in Knocked Up, this, and of course Darryl. Of course Danny McBride is really the standout here. He hasn't been in much, but I really looked forward to all his appearances on screen. He definitely played a key role in the success of the film as a part of the "bromance" genre. It's actually really impressive how the film manages to bridge genres (comedy/stoner film with action movie).
I'd like to commend James Franco, however, on being really really funny and cute and not at all anything like his normal roles. I think you can tell that he's a really good actor by how well he can do comedy.

Anyway, just a few observations.
And also, Michael Phelps is a BEAST. I really hope he gets all 8 gold medals he's aiming for. And may I just say: "godDAMN." Now that is a body.
