Think Morgan Spurlock's popular Super Size Me, only this time, marajuana instead of McDonald's.
Premiering at Austin's vital SXSW Film Festival this week is Super High Me, part concert film and part investigative documentary. Featuring comedian Doug Benson, named "Stoner of the Year" by High Times magazine in 2006, it explores medical marajuana in the United States. As part of the movie, Benson smokes marajuana all day, every day for 30 days while he performs his stand up routine and the documentary looks at the effects it has on his body.
Super High Me is set for an intriguing distribution strategy. Uniquely understanding its audience, both their penchant for laziness and interest in partaking in certain illegal activities, Super High Me will be available for free on DVD. Just sign up on the film's website and you receive a limited shelflife DVD to screen at home with your friends, instead of having to go to the theatre and see it sober. The strategy has been devised to execute cost effective word of mouth screenings for the official DVD release on June 17.
When will the film be available? You guessed it, April 20, 2008, or simply, 4/20. Visit the films official website to register for a free DVD by mail, just pay shipping, at www.superhighmemovie.com.

It can't touch Harry Potter for scope of popularity but in some pockets of pop culture, the Twilight series has reached Beatlemania in intensity. The "young adult" novels about a handsome teenage vampire boy and the mortal girl who loves him have sold 17
No, we didn't ask for an album featuring another recording of "Breathe," leading into "Time," leading into "Breathe (Reprise)," as happens on tracks two through four on Live in Gdansk. But Pink Floyd completists (we are legion) will want it anyway. Howeve
Jorge "El Guero" Hernandez may be the best-known regional Mexican artist with Milwaukee roots. Most of a decade has passed since he and brother Rogelio moved to San Antonio, but El Guero's Banda Centenario still nurtures a unique take on the often-manic D
The last decade has not been kind to Milwaukee’s German restaurants, as names like Ritter’s Inn, the Bavarian Wurst Haus and even the venerable John Ernst have all closed their doors. In fact, only two of the old-timers remain: the oldest, Mad
If you’re not from Waukesha, you’ll want to check MapQuest for directions, but it’s worth the ride. The Rochester Deli (143 E. Broadway, 262-522-9611), wedged within the labyrinth of downtown Waukesha across from the Freeman offices, is
