Up in Smoke

Up in Smoke, directed by Lou Adler, is Cheech & Chong's first feature-length film, released in 1978 by Paramount Pictures. It stars Cheech Marin, Tommy Chong, Edie Adams, Strother Martin, Stacy Keach, and Tom Skerritt.

Cheech & Chong had been a counterculture comedy team for about ten years before they started reworking some of their material for their first film. Much of the film was shot in Los Angeles, California, including scenes set in Tijuana, while scenes set on the Mexican border were actually filmed at the border in Yuma, Arizona.

While negatively received upon its release, Up in Smoke is viewed more positively today, and is credited with establishing the stoner comedy genre.

Plot

Tommy Chong plays Anthony "Man" Stoner, a jobless, marijuana-smoking drummer who is told to either get a job by sundown or be sent off to military school by his parents. Anthony leaves the house in a 1967 Volkswagen Beetle convertible (which had his father's Rolls Royce radiator grille on the front), a car which is subsequently left smoking on the side of the road. Anthony is picked up while hitchhiking by the equally enthusiastic smoker Pedro de Pacas (Cheech Marin). The license plate reads MUF DVR ("Muff Diver"). They share a large joint, which Man says is made with "mostly Maui wowie" and "Labrador" (essentially dog feces, as his dog, a Labrador Retriever, had eaten his stash). Police find their car parked on a traffic median with them in it, discover that they are clearly stoned and arrest them. At trial, the pair are released on a technicality after Anthony discovers that the judge is drinking vodka.

CSI: Crime Scene Investigation (season 6)

The sixth season of CSI: Crime Scene Investigation premiered on CBS on September 22, 2005 and ended May 18, 2006. The series stars William Petersen and Marg Helgenberger.

Plot

Brass, now partnered with Sofia Curtis, finds himself caught in a shootout that leaves one officer dead, and a Latino community enraged ("A Bullet Runs Through It"), before finding himself critically injured in a hostage standoff ("Bang-Bang"), in the sixth season of CSI. Meanwhile, Grissom and Willows reunite in order to investigate their toughest cases yet, including the death of a movie star ("Room Service"), a corpse discovered at a suburban home ("Bite Me"), a mass suicide at a cult ("Shooting Stars"), and an apparent suicide ("Secrets and Flies"), as Nick comes to terms with his PTSD ("Bodies in Motion"), and later tracks down a missing child ("Gum Drops"). Also this season, Greg hunts the head of a civil war reenactor ("Way to Go"), Grissom investigates the death of a psychic ("Spellbound"), and Sara comes face to face with her toughest adversary yet ("The Unusual Suspect").

    Up In Smoke

    by: Lene Nystrøm

    Did your high rent low life friends all leave
    Cos even they know
    Your living make believe
    And if I was to cut off your supply
    Would you curl up into a ball and die?
    If you lost the number of your man in town
    Would you start crying baby
    When the sun went down
    Could you handle the chills
    Could you handle the sweat
    It'll cloud out your mind
    Can't make me forget
    Busy crazy
    I'm just lazy
    When I let ya
    Phase me
    I don't get it cos
    U don't understand
    You just keep saying
    "baby I'm your man"
    Busy
    Too spacey
    Stir-crazy
    Don't need a man
    All up in smoke
    All up in smoke
    Up in smoke
    All up in smoke
    You so hot on deliveries
    But you never bring me
    the thing that I need
    You look a little green
    Don't need your blues
    Your the only thing I ever wanted to do
    But as you lock yourself in your haze
    You got too many ultraviolet rays
    Your heads a mess
    Your brains got slow
    You say I'll never leave
    but I'm the first to go
    Can you ever let go
    Baby I'm the first to know
    I know you like to take it real slow
    This ain't no joke
    your up in smoke so lets go
