Hot Slut Of The Day!
The Talking Joint (as played by Sharon Brown) from Half-Baked!
Sharon Brown has been in The Chorus Line movie, For Keeps, Sister Act 2, Introducing Dorothy Dandridge, A Different World, Cop Rock, The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air, and she’s been on Broadway in Dreamgirls and the upcoming Gwyneth Paltrow-produced Go-Gos musical Head Overs Heels that’s set in Shakespearean times (someone was definitely toking up something extra when they came up with that concept). But I’m sure she’ll tell you that the precious crown jewel on her resume is the role of “Talking Joint” in Half Baked. Okay, okay, maybe she’d tell you that the precious crown jewel on her resume is Cop Rock, but the second one is Talking Joint.
At the end of the all-star 1998 stoner classic Half Baked, Dave Chappelle’s character declares that he’s quitting the good shit for his weed-hating buzz killer girlfriend played by Rachel True. He stands on the Brooklyn Bridge and says goodbye to a joint who comes to life and tries to lure him into putting his lips to her tip. He almost gives in to the siren call of the gorgeous joint, but instead throws her off the bridge. Out of all the pure acts of fantasy fuckery that happens in that movie, the throwing of the joint is the most unbelievable. Apparently, in the original script, Dave ditches his girlfriend and jumps off of the bridge after the joint he wrongly tossed into the water. Now THAT is realistic.
At the 71st Academy Awards, Judi Dench won the Best Supporting Actress for the acting stuff she did in 1998’s Shakespeare In Love. Dame Judi disappointed everyone when she didn’t refuse to accept the award because it rightfully belonged to Sharon Brown for giving a captivating, hypnotizing, and multi-layered (seriously, I’m sure she was wrapped in several layers under that joint costume) performance as the Talking Joint in Half Baked.
Fuck Dave Chappelle for that! I’m sure that the toxic rat-fish hybrids who live in the East River enjoyed that joint. And I don’t really fuck with joints anymore (I’m now a sad bougie stoner who uses vaporizers), but the next time I do, I hope that looking back at me is a face with an exquisite eyebrow situation that takes me up, up and away without even puffing on her.
Happy 420, all!
