Een tevreden roker is geen onrust stoker is een veel gehoorde uitspraak van blowers en eerlijk gezegd is dat ook zo. In veel films komen er blowende mensen voorbij, en dan uiteraard in stereo type. De website Avclub deze lijst gemaakt met achttien van de beste film stoners en mijn favoriet er van is:


1. Fran Kranz, The Cabin In The Woods (2011)
Traditionally, the stoner character in film is the comedy relief, the modern equivalent of the drunk in old cartoons and comedies who sees something outlandish, examines his bottle of booze as if it's to blame, and throws it away. Not that movie stoners generally swear off the habit, but they tend to be in a story to provide funny reactions and generally be laughably weak, compromised, or silly. Drew Goddard's The Cabin In The Woods embraces the stereotype as it embraces so many other slasher-movie stereotypes-at least at the outset. Dollhouse's Fran Kranz starts out playing a typically affable, dimwitted stoner, a fuzzy-faced, shaggy-haired dude who spouts weirdo philosophy while rolling joints and turns up for a road trip in a smoke-filled car, sucking on a giant bong. "I'm livin' in a world of reefer, lemme alone," he grunts defensively when his friends mock him for mistaking a stuffed wolf head for a moose.

But like so much about the film (spoilers ahead...) the stereotype is meant to disarm viewers and convince them they know what to expect, and by the turning point of the film, Franz is taking down zombies with that bong.He's also the one to find a way inside the giant illusion he and his friends are caught in, and to lead the charge through it, shooting monsters along the way. He can't save the day, but at least he can choose what kind of victim he wants to be, and "Helpless comedy guy who dies first" isn't it.
