Probably gonna go out and toss the ol' pigskin around today. I can't go until my tuxedo comes back from the cleaners though.

I still cannot see any redeeming value in Pineapple Express. If Apatow and crew had not been a part of it then it likely wouldn't have gotten any kind of notice. Even with Rogen, Franco, and whoever else was in there, it was still garbage. Production value, in that it was filmed on professional equipment, is the only thing that separates it from total amateur-hour fodder.
One that deserves a mention is The Last Airbender. It had such great source material to draw on that I am still flabbergasted at how badly M. Night f***** it up.

M. Night wanted a 3 movie deal from the very start.
Unfortunately he was only given the budget to make one, forcing him to make a generalised version of Last Airbender.
I honestly can't blame a person whose ambition is blocked by obstacles.
That was hardly the only problem with it though. The casting and characterisation was terrible as well, making fun, light-hearted characters into these serious, miserable downers. He also made some completely unnecessary changes to some things, like how firebending worked, which had no relation to how much screen time he had to tell the story. There are a bunch of problems with the film that would not have been fixed by adding more movies.

I never found the characters to be "miserable downers" & if M. Night wanted a different interpretation of how fire-bending worked then he had every artistic right to do so.
^ Well, why didn't he just stick with his vision and make the first of the three films? That's the way they typically do things anyway. If it's successful then he can make the next one.
This. Just go ahead with what he had planned. If it had been well-received, and made a bunch of money, there is a very good chance it would have opened the door for more. And, even if there hadn't been more, he would have at least given us one decent Last Airbender movie. But he made a garbage film instead.
