...such as George Washington and All The Real Girls, David Gordon Green has earned a reputation for being a master of small-budget, Southern-set stories full of delicate characterizations. He gleefully chucks most of that out the window with his latest directorial effort, the stoner action comedy Pineapple Express. With fingers crossed for his first commercial success, Gordon Green spoke to TIME from Los Angeles...
...Apatow's notion to graft an action-movie plot on a dope-movie premise, Rogen and Goldberg came up with a concoction that synthesizes the standard thrills of the first genre while exceeding the usual humor quotient of the second. Granted, that's not the toughest job, and Pineapple Express aims for nothing more than rowdy fun.

Now, if one set of variations provides a survival advantage for the cells versus another, then the cells with the advantage will persist while the other ones will die off, leaving behind more cells with the genes...
Recently, the terroir concept - that a wine should express the specific soil, microclimate and cultural traditions that produced it - has become more widespread in the Champagne region. In exceptionally good years, some houses are now producing vintage wines profiling a single year's harvest, or single-vineyard wines made from a particularly outstanding parcel. But not without controversy: at the Champagne Information Bureau's annual tasting in London in March, some winemakers wrote off the single-vintage mono-parcel champagnes as a ploy to market novelties as luxuries...
