Trees in 3D, you say?  You bet.

I’m not the biggest fan of 3D but A Very Harold and Kumar Christmas was easily the best movie I’ve seen in years in the format since Avatar because most 3D pictures are too scared to do the things Harold and Kumar would do and make them pop out of the screen.

That means lots of smoke, women’s jiggly parts, Claymation, beer pong and various WTF’s jumping off the screen.

And Neil Patrick Harris. It just wouldn’t be a Harold and Kumar trip if they didn’t run into one of our favorite actors.

A Very Harold and Kumar Christmas is finally out on Blu-Ray and DVD.  This Tuesday you will be able to get MISTLE-TOASTED with the release of A Very Harold and Kumar Christmas on Blu-Ray. It comes in the 3D combo pack as well as the 2D combo pack.

Both combo packs include the regular DVD with optional Digital download so you can view the movie on your personal devices like the iPhone or your laptop. Sweet!

So we had the awesome privilege via the cool folks at Warner Bros. Video  to grab a copy of A Very Harold and Kumar Christmas early and check out the special features.  I love my job!

The “Extra Dope Edition” of the movie includes some fun features including extended cuts and deleted scenes.  Plus there’s “Through the Haze with Tom Lennon” and a video showing how the producers brought the Harold and Kumar Claymation to life.

Yes, there’s Claymation!  It’s the second best part of the film right after H&K meet up with the Legendary Neil Patrick Harris.

The fantastic star of CBS’s How I Met Your Mother is required to make a Harold and Kumar movie, right?

But just how did the get NPH to return to the third movie when he was killed in a bloody shootout at that chicken ranch in Texas?

Well, there’s actually a good reason that Neil is back. We won’t ruin that surprise for you (you’ll have to watch the movie) but let’s just say NPH is back and better then before. Check out this clip from A Very Harold and Kumar Christmas featuring the first meeting of H&K with Neil.

As fans of NPH from the Harold and Kumar films as well as How I Met Your Mother, I can’t imagine a more versatile and talented actor who cracks me up on such a consistent basis. Be sure to check out our Favorite Neil Patrick Harris Moments to get an understanding of why we love him so much.

Man, times have changed.  Neil Patrick Harris has reinvented his career and he’s been propelled into the top of the acting world. He’s a Broadway star, hosted awards and he’s the star of the hit CBS show How I Met Your Mother.

It’s been a nice ride for NPH since he took the role of mocking himself in a silly comedy.

So with A Very Harold & Kumar 3D Christmas coming out on Blu-Ray and DVD today, a day they’re calling  Neil Patrick Harris Appreciation Day ,we’re taking a look back at some of the best Neil Patrick Harris’ best moments.

And yes, we’ll be forgetting about The Smurfs.  Every comeback has a speed bump on occasion.

Neil Patrick Harris Meets Harold and Kumar

Here’s where it all began. Two stones pick up a hitchhiker on the side of a woody road at night and it turns out to be NPH! Geeked out on Ex, NPH rants some nasty non-Doogie type lines that cracked us all up.

Neil Patrick Harris’ 2011 Tony Awards Opening Number

NPH has an extremely broad appeal a thanks to his Internet status, comedic timing and singing.

Not many guys can pull it off as being a sexy lead on a TV show or movie and then belting out tunes on Broadway without losing respect but NPH can do it all.  During the 2011 Tonys he gave one of the best opening numbers to an award show ever.

I don’t even watch the Tonys, and I bet you don’t either, but you’ll see what I mean with this number called “Broadway, it’s not just for gays anymore.”

Barney Stinson Doogie Howser reference

C’mon, we all know he was once Doogie Howser, MD. Why not have fun with it? In this clip from How I Met Your Mother, Barney pulls out a sweet Doogie moment.

NPH and Lunch Lady Scooter show their real love

Harold & Kumar 2- Neil Patrick Harris takes shrooms

NPH is tripping out on shrooms and listening to one of the best songs in the world when he just happens, for the second time, to run into Harold and Kumar in the middle of nowhere.

And yes, it’s got the awesome unicorn scene in it!

Neil Patrick Harris Can’t Take a Bad Picture

Barney finds it easy to be perfect. Here the camera, like his audience, loves NPH so much they can’t see him in a bad pose. His friend Robin is obsessed with taking a bad picture of Barney which is not possible. Or is it?.

Slapsgiving

One of the best parts of HIMYM are the Slapsgiving bets. Nothing like seeing Barney get all girlie at the prospect of getting slapped.

I guess what I’m trying to say is that if you put more boobs in 3D I might watch it. Thankfully, Harold and Kumar are going to do that.

‘A Very Harold & Kumar Christmas‘ is coming out this holiday season and it’s going to be in full-blown 3D. And if you remember how raunchy the last one was you can expect some interesting uses of the format.

Or at least I hope so.

And the good news is that NPH is back. Even though they killed Neil Patrick Harris (How I Met Your Mother) in the last movie, the popular guy makes another appearance. ‘A Very Harold & Kumar Christmas’ opens in theaters November 4th.

Yeah, we do to. Man, we loved that cartoon when we were kids.

Did you ever wonder what would happen if the Smurfs were let loose in the city of New York?

Neither did we. But Columbia Pictures is betting that you will want to find out next year, because that’s the basic idea behind their new Smurfs movie.

You can get a taste of the new Smurfs film by checking out the teaser they’ve just released. There are actually hardly any smurfs in the teaser, but it does have Neil Patrick Harris introducing it and that’s something at least. And although the teaser is now out, the film is not slated to hit theaters until August 2011, so if it does tickle your fancy, you still have over a year to wait. Ain’t that just smurfy!
