There was room in the budget for cocaine for the shoot of The Blues Brothers. I'd say it was more than just Aykroyd 😄

reply

Dan Aykroyd: "Wanna be in our movie?"

Ray Charles: "No thanks."

Dan Aykroyd: "We'll pay you in cocaine."

Ray Charles: "What time do you need me on set?"

reply

does Seth Rogen only smoke weed?

he looks like he drops all sorts of acid as well...

reply

As far as I know weed is it. I wouldn't be surprised if he dabbled in a little booger sugar.

reply

every interview he just looks, literally, dazed and confused.

idk good for him i guess he has the cash to do whatever he wants

reply

Also looks like he needs a shower.

reply

I need a shower after watching anything he's in.

Dennis Hopper, Peter Fonda, and Jack Nicholson are getting high on screen... It's actually my favorite scene, when they're smoking joints around the camp fire, and Hopper talks about how they represent freedom, and Jack tells him

In Mardi Gras, I think they are actually tripping on LSD with the girls, in that 35 mm montage, where none of them are in it - they're just cutting back and forth, and used that piece of film to get Bert Schneider (whose daddy was President of the studio) to invest in the movie with some other guy.



George Hanson : You know, this used to be a helluva good country. I can't understand what's gone wrong with it.

Billy : Man, everybody got chicken, that's what happened. Hey, we can't even get into like, a second-rate hotel, I mean, a second-rate motel, you dig? They think we're gonna cut their throat or somethin'. They're scared, man.

George Hanson : They're not scared of you. They're scared of what you represent to 'em.

Billy : Hey, man. All we represent to them, man, is somebody who needs a haircut.

George Hanson : Oh, no. What you represent to them is freedom.

Billy : What the hell is wrong with freedom? That's what it's all about.

George Hanson : Oh, yeah, that's right. That's what's it's all about, all right. But talkin' about it and bein' it, that's two different thangs. I mean, it's real hard to be free when you are bought and sold in the marketplace. Of course, don't ever tell anybody that they're not free, 'cause then they're gonna get real busy killin' and maimin' to prove to you that they are. Oh, yeah, they're gonna talk to you, and talk to you, and talk to you about individual freedom. But they see a free individual, it's gonna scare 'em.

Billy : Well, it don't make 'em runnin' scared.

George Hanson : No, it makes 'em dangerous. Buhhhh! Neh! Neh! Neh! Neh! Neh! Neh! Swamp!

This looks like one of those laid back scenes where they just left the camera there and let them do what they wanted to do.

real life is usually the best dramatically

Same thing with humor -- funniest things are usually true
