James Spader and Susan Sarandon Go To White Castle
We can't say for sure if handing out One. Tiny. Fucking. Burger. per person is going to make people go see Harold & Kumar Go To White Castle, but Sunset Boulevard freeloaders seem less than happy with the portions and quality of their gratis beef. If they gave out more than one burger, all of LA's regular and boring homeless would converge on The Strip, driving away the crowd of homeless actors and rock stars who have rightly claimed that turf as their own. A reader even points out that Harold & Kumar is at best going to stake out a place as only the second-greatest White Castle movie ever made:
Cruising the Sunset Strip for high-schoolers, a friend and I stumbled upon a massive promotional campaign for New Line's "Harold & Kumar Go to White Castle." A mock White Castle doling out one free WC burger each was just the right promotional bait to lure in our uber-hip late-twenties demographic. That and I really had to go to the bathroom. WC burgers are small—the hamburger is the size of a pencil eraser—and they seem taylor-made to give away as free promotions. I also got a plastic cup with the faces of the two stars—-neither of which I recognized from any movie, but they both eerily looked like kids I used to get wedgies with back in high school. Overall, I'd say H&KGTWC (as it's being dubbed) looks to be the hottest White Castle promo flick since James Spader had angry grief-stricken sex with slutty waitress Susan Sarandon in a pile of discarded burger boxes in White Palace.
