Life Insurance For Responsible Marijuana Smokers!
Washington, DC: The National Organization for the Reform of Marijuana Laws (NORML), the nation's oldest and most respected cannabis-law reform organization, today announced that life insurance is finally available for adult cannabis consumers.
NORML has partnered with The McLaughlin Company and a pair of nationally recognized insurance providers to offer life insurance products to responsible cannabis consumers. Previously, adults who self-reported using cannabis -- even in moderate amounts -- were denied life insurance coverage or, at best, offered coverage at a grossly inflated premium. Starting today, cannabis consumers will have access to the same types of life insurance plans as non-users, and they will no longer be forced to pay excessively high premiums.
"Unlike cigarettes or even alcohol, moderate use of cannabis -- even when used long-term -- is not shown to have significant negative ramifications on health or mortality," **
NORML Executive Director Allen St. Pierre said. "As a result, responsible cannabis consumers should not be forced to pay inflated premiums or be denied insurance coverage because of their marijuana use." NORML and its partners hope to expand its life insurance program to offer cannabis-friendly disability and health insurance products later this year.
For more information, please contact NORML Executive Director Allen St. Pierre at (202) 483-5500 or visit: http://www.norml.org/index.cfm?Group_ID=7128.

Office Space - of a different kind...
All I have to say is that these guys have way too much time on their hands. They took the movie office space and re-cut it to make a slasher movie trailer. This is some funny stuff.

Judge in Anna Nicole Smith Case Charged With Smoking Pot in City Park
Judge in Anna Nicole Smith Case Charged With Smoking Pot in City Park
A judge who had a secondary role in the recent Anna Nicole Smith proceedings was charged with smoking marijuana in a city park, police said Monday.
Lawrence Korda was smoking marijuana while sitting under a tree Sunday, police said. Three officers who were training there saw Korda and field-tested the cigarette, said Capt. Tony Rode, a police spokesman.
The judge was not arrested. He was given a misdemeanor citation to appear in court.
"Judge Korda was not given special treatment because of his status as a circuit court judge," Rode said. "He was provided with a notice to appear. That's exactly what 99 percent of other offenders would have been given for this type of offense."
A message left by The Associated Press at the judge's chambers after hours Monday was not immediately returned.
The fight over control of the former Playboy Playmate and reality TV star's body began in Korda's courtroom. It ended up being heard by Circuit Judge Larry Seidlin, who carved his own slice of celebrity from the televised hearings with his relentless one-liners and blubbering announcement of his decision.
Seidlin allowed a court-appointed advocate for Smith's infant daughter decide where Smith should be buried, and the lawyer decided it would be in the Bahamas.
Korda later heard brief arguments in a related case, seeking to determine the biological father of the baby. He ruled that a Bahamian court had jurisdiction over the child's custody.

This kid I know...Droopy Cock
Drew Peacock...wow. I mean his last name is going to suck regardless but yikes. I actually didn't really realize it either until I saw them write it out...Droopy Cock...sad, sad, sad. And now they're saying they don't intend to change his name either. That poor kid is going to be scarred for life and teased for eternity. Of course, if they do change his name, it's still going to take a while for people to forget what his original name was...but hopefully by the time he reaches elementary school, the world will have forgotten. Kids can be cruel...

A COUPLE have just realised their howler — after naming their baby son Drew Peacock.
Shocked dad Russell only twigged when he put it in an internet search engine looking for famous namesakes, and was asked: Do you mean Droopy C**k?
A COUPLE have just realised their howler — after naming their baby son Drew Peacock.
Shocked dad Russell only twigged when he put it in an internet search engine looking for famous namesakes, and was asked: Do you mean Droopy C**k?
The environmental health officer, 31, said: “It was as if I’d been smacked with a right hook.
“I can’t believe we’ve named our son ‘Droopy C**k’.
“I started repeating ‘Drew Peacock’ over and over again. Then I thought — what have we done?
“I went numb and couldn’t speak for two minutes. Then I couldn’t stop laughing.”
Mum Shetal Patel, 28, had also failed to spot the blunder over two-month-old Drew — despite being a registrar’s assistant.
She said: “I thought Russell had seen a ghost when he came away from the computer. We decided on the name a month before he was born — we both loved it straight away.”
The couple, from Bedford, are now concerned Drew’s name will cause him problems in later life.
Russell said: “People at work are already saying, ‘Hey, look there’s Droopy’s dad’.
“But we don’t want to change his name. It is on his birth certificate and other documents.”

How Gross Is This?!?!?
All I'm saying is that a) this is totally whacked out and b) if I was that guy that paid all that money for a first class ticket, I would be raising hell also. I'm pretty grossed out by the fact that if someone dies on a plane they just keep going and move them off somewhere. I can understand moving the body to an area with less people so the entire plane doesn't get freaked out...but first class isn't cool. And then those people had to wait at the end until the body was removed from the plane. That is just not fair by any means. Singapore Airlines' policy with their body locker is pretty smooth I guess...but still creepy. I guess the moral of the story is don't die on a long-haul flight. Ick.
British Airways Moves Dead Passenger to First Class Seat
Monday , March 19, 2007
AP
LONDON — A first-class passenger on a flight from Delhi to London awoke to find the body of a woman who had died in the economy cabin placed in a seat near him, British Airways said Monday.
The economy section of the flight was full, and the cabin crew needed to move the woman and her grieving family out of that compartment to give them some privacy, the airline said.
The first-class passenger, Paul Trinder, told the Sunday Times newspaper that he was sleeping during a February flight from India and woke up when the crew placed the dead woman in a seat at the end of his row.
"I didn't have a clue what was going on. The stewards just plonked the body down without saying a thing. I remember looking at this frail, sparrow-like woman and thinking she was very ill," the newspaper quoted Trinder as saying. "When I asked what was going on, I was shocked to hear she was dead."
Click here to read the Sunday Times story.
British Airways said in a statement that about 10 passengers die each year in flight and that while each situation is dealt with on an individual basis, safety is paramount.
"The deceased must not be placed in the galley or blocking aisles or exits, and there should be clear space around the deceased," the statement said. "The wishes of family or friends traveling with the deceased will always be considered, and account taken of the reactions of other passengers."
Because there was space in the first class cabin, that "allowed the family members traveling with the deceased some level of privacy in their grief," the airline said.
"We apologize to passengers in the first cabin who were distressed by the situation -- our cabin crew were working in difficult circumstances and chose the option that they believed would cause the least disruption," the statement said.
David Learmount, a former pilot and cabin crew member who now writes about the aviation industry for Flight International magazine, said that each airline has to deal with the relatively rare situation on an individual basis. He said that diverting the flight would be an unusual move, and that the captain would be consulted before the crew acted.
"Personally, I think they did the thing that was the best thing to do," he said. "Really, you want as much as possible to isolate the person.
"It's an isolated incident. It's not as if it happens every day, but you do have to take in people's sensibilities when it does happen."

The Beer Launching Fridge
Well this is a rather cool idea. This guy is getting massive press for this but it really is quite cool. The ultimate gift for the guy who always asks you to bring him a beer whenever you even look towards the kitchen. I wouldn't be stocking it with Miller Lite but whatever - to each his own. Maybe we can get him to come up with some cool idea for smokers?? But what? Hmmmm.

Blues Traveler Frontman John Popper Arrested
Wow-wee!! That is quite a stash of weapons there, Mr. Popper. I can understand the whole not wanting to be left behind thing but wow, that's like a mini-arsenal. I'm envisioning a 24 moment when Jack Bauer starts pulling stuff out of the arsenal in his truck. Very cool lol. But it is interesting that they're only going to bust him on drug related charges and not for the massive number of weapons....go figure. I guess the penalties are great for the drug offences...
SPOKANE, Wash. — Blues Traveler singer and harmonica player John Popper was arrested after the vehicle he was riding in was clocked going 111 mph, the Washington State Patrol said Wednesday.
Popper, 39, was arrested Tuesday afternoon on Interstate 90 near the Spokane/Lincoln county line, the Washington State Patrol said.
Inside the black Mercedes SUV, officers found a cache of weapons and a small amount of marijuana, the Patrol said. A police dog searched the vehicle, finding numerous hidden compartments containing four rifles, nine handguns and a switchblade knife. Authorities also found a Taser and night vision goggles. The vehicle was seized.
Popper, who lives in Snohomish, Wash., is the owner of the vehicle, which was being driven by Brian Gourgeois, 34, of Austin, Texas, said state patrol Trooper Jeff Sevigney. The vehicle also had flashing emergency headlights, a siren and a public address system, the Patrol said.
"Popper indicated to troopers that he had installed these items in his vehicle because (in the event of a natural disaster) he didn't want to be left behind," the Patrol said in a news release. He also told officers he collected weapons, the Patrol said.
The two men were booked administratively into the Adams County jail and released on their own recognizance. Authorities plan to charge them with possession of a controlled substance and possession of drug paraphernalia. Gourgeois will also face a charge of reckless driving, the Patrol said.
Popper did not immediately return an e-mail seeking comment Wednesday night.
Popper achieved fame as a harmonica player and frontman for Blues Traveler. The band won a Grammy award in 1996 for the song "Run-around," which Popper composed.
Popper recently formed a group called The John Popper Project with DJ Logic, which released an album in 2006 and is scheduled to go on the road later this month.

Road Trip
We watched Road Trip last night. It's also one of our stoner classics that we can never watch too many times. Not only is it funny but Amy Smart is in it and you can never go wrong with her...especially when she's getting topless. And Tom Green trying to feed the snake the mice...that guy might be totally insane but those scenes are pretty great. UNLEASH THE FURY, MITCH!!! Or how about Horatio Sanz (Tomcats, The New Guy & Boat Trip) as the waiter in the diner...with the french toast in his pants. Oh man, that scene makes me want to hurl...but DJ Qualls with his "mmmh, it's good" just slays me. I am sure I have used that line so many times since then that it's not funny. And you have to appreciate the stoner references such as High Times Man of the Year...or "How about a fresh towel? Maybe you can roll that up and smoke it." It's just a great movie.
Dude, Where's My Car?
The night before last, we watched Dude, Where's My Car? for what must have been at least the 40th time. We basically don't even need to watch the whole movie because we know exactly what is coming next, if we leave the room and come back we still know exactly what's going on and we can recite most of the film. I guess to some, it would seem like we've seen it too many times and that it must be boring by now...but like so many film classics, it just never gets old. This is a break dancing stripper emergency after all. :) Probably one of the funniest things is their facial expressions, especially Seann William Scott's. That guy is just a maniac.We actually were trying to watch Joe Dirt but for some reason our DVD player has decided that it doesn't want to play that movie. Which brings up a whole other problem which is the constant need for a new DVD player. It seems that we can't find one that lasts more than a year around us. Perhaps that has something to do with us watching at least one DVD a night...nah, that can't be it :)
How to Clean a Bong
This guy has quite a few movies on YouTube so you'll very likely be seeing more of him soon!

Or if you're just cool like them...well I guess we could also meet lol
The guy with the mask kinda freaks me out at the beginning...but it doesn't last long so that's cool. And the rest of the video is pretty dope (lol) so just watch it already.

What about Bill Gates?
You've always wondered who some of the famous potheads are out there...and Very Important Potheads has a pretty good list to get you started.
They've also started a blog with potheads in the news.
Kinda seems like they need to devote a bit more time to getting their links going to the right places but if you don't mind getting lost a few times before you find where you wanted to go, then it's all good. You've got time to kill, right?

Jarhead
We watched this movie a few nights ago and it left me feeling a bit disturbed. The movie is entertaining enough to hold your attention but the plot is basically just these guys becoming "jarheads" or Marines. I guess that could be enough plot for some but it's not really enough for me somehow. The guys go through boot camp, get the required brain washing, get sent off to Iraq for Operation Desert Shield, spend about 200 days in the desert and see no real action and then the war ends.
The acting is good, the characters are interesting and I think the film is really believable. It's supposedly based on former Marine Anthony Swofford's best-selling book about his pre-Desert Storm experiences in Saudi Arabia and about his experiences fighting in Kuwait. "Based on" could mean there's a lot of room for interpretation but having known a few Marines and a bunch of military guys in general, I don't have much trouble imagining that this is not far from the truth....and that is what makes me the most uneasy about the film. These guys are just a bit too crazy at times and a bit too far over the edge. I know the military isn't for everyone and they show that here as well...but wow, they really screw with these guys. And can you imagine being stuck in "the suck" for 200 days doing nothing but drills which seem pointless only so they can mostly keep you out of trouble? Knowing that if you should see action it will probably be friendly fire or some sort of accident that you end up in the wrong place at the wrong time...because they're fighting the war with bombs and not troops. But I guess it has to be better than the life the guys have over in Iraq now with suicide bombers showing up all the time and never knowing just who is on your side. Make no mistake, I have the utmost respect for our troops. But I also know I would never want to be in their place.

The Rambo Trilogy
It's hard to imagine that I am 27 years old and before this weekend, I had never seen a Rambo movie. I almost feel like I should go to some sort of support group now or something...
We were doing some grocery shopping when Happy came across all three films, just sitting in a row on the shelf and begging to be bought. I know that I've missed out on other films like the Rocky series, the Godfather trilogy and countless other "classics." So when he started talking about adding these classics to our collection of over 500 films - I figured why not.
Conveniently for Rambo, the weather wasn't so great this weekend so we had the chance to watch all three. I'm not sure I can pick a favorite yet but I will say that I found them quite entertaining. Stallone may not say much but he was totally ripped in these movies. And the explosions...well they just don't get much better. I will say that it's not really believable all the time (such as the gas station being set on fire and then the cars and buildings around town all start exploding such as in the first Rambo) but it's still entertaining.
Will I watch them again? Most likely. I don't know when but I don't really see why not. The plot is pretty good and they're certainly good enough to hold my attention. I'm not sure I'll be watching them all in a row because they are pretty long but you can't help but sympathize with John J. Rambo. I mean that sheriff in the first movie totally had it coming.

New Releases: Wild Hogs
This movie seems to be getting a lot of notice at the moment & Happy brought it up last night. It had a huge opening and has a huge cast...and I have to say it looks pretty damn funny. Anyone going through a quarter-life, mid-life or any other life crisis knows how these guys feels and why they're doing what they're doing. And with a bunch talented and funny actors up on the screen, how can you really go wrong?
The official movie site: Wild Hogs
They've got a bunch of things to download to Wild Hog up your computer...and a few games that are pretty fun like building your own hog, which hog are you and so on. They'll at least help you kill a few hours while you're sitting at work.
This movie is on our top of new movies to see and we can't wait!

You might be wondering what this blog is about and I'm going to tell you...in case you didn't figure it out from the description at the top.
This blog is written by the developers of 420-Movies.com. The idea for the website started while we were in college (we being Blonde Smoker & Happy Toker). We met, fell in love with each other and started a passion for movies & smoking up. The two actually go really well together and we started to search the Internet for great stoner movies...to find that there really weren't any sites devoted to people who love to smoke and watch movies. So we created one. It was simple enough. But we still have our own "normal" jobs which prevent us from spending all our time working on the website...which sucks. But we do our best anyway and hope that everyone is pleased with the results.
Since blogging is taking over the world, we figured it was about time that 420-Movies got its own blog too. This way we can talk about upcoming movies more easily and just spout off about other random stuff we may come across along the way. We can also post our thoughts about movies we've recently watched before we can get them in the database since it takes us a while to get everything processed there.
We hope you enjoy reading this & that you'll leave your own thoughts and suggestions for us regarding movies to watch, new cool products and whatever else is on your mind!
