Let me start by saying I'm a Seth Rogen fan.  I think if you liked Superbad, Knocked Up, and Pineapple Express, you'll love it.  If not, I don't know what to tell you. Its basically the same main cast from Pineapple Express with several cameos.  Michael Cera will probably shock you (he was hilarious)

 

It's kind of one of those 'stupid funny' movies with somewhat of an underlying religious (but not THAT religious) theme that plays a factor in the end of the movie. Don't let it scare you away, because it's definitely not preachy or anything.  Personally I laughed until I cried. I thought it was really really funny.

i've heard mixed reviews on this- although I enjoyed all the previous movies you listed to at least some degree; I will probably wait until it comes out on DVD

 

I read a fairly interesting article basically saying that This is the End should/could serve as a metaphor for Seth Rogen to move on from these type of movies

Just got out of the movie. It started out beyond hilarious, but it seemed to taper off more and more towards the end. Still a really funny, laugh out loud kind of movie.

 

Wish they would've had the cameos continue on throughout the movie instead of having them all in the first 20 or so minutes and then leaving it at that.

 

Some of my favorite comedic actors had too small of parts in the movie, not that that's a bad thing that should be changed, but it would've been nice to see more of them. Paul Rudd, Christopher Mintz-Plasse, Jason Segel, and even Michael Cera, who had a relatively big part, but I like a lot as an actor and probably could've been utilized a bit longer.

its weird, im one of those people that likes pretty much every movie, but this one didn't do it for me. I actually found the internship a lot funnier which is weird because it got way worse reviews. my college won a free screening of "this is the end" in April so i got to see it way earlier which was pretty cool, Seth Rogen and Danny McBride came on campus and signed autographs and stuff as well. I didn't get to see them though :/ the overall movie experience was cool because it was free along with popcorn and drinks, but actually movie was blehhh not bad but definitely not a memorable to me.

Michael Cera was brilliant

      2024 College Football Thread

      I hate seeing this. I'm not sure he was ever going to make it in the NFL without the injury but that injury knocked FSU out of the college football playoffs and cost him and them and opportunity on the biggest stage in college sports. The injuries are the worst part of this game.

      Texas A&M Nic Scourton vs. Purdue Nic Scourton

      I don't know what Texas A&M was doing with their edge rushers. They had two freaks in Scourton and Shemar Stewart and yet instead of turning them loose they asked them to play 20 lbs overweight and just set the edge. That's full-on coaching malpractice at any level. Much was made about Shemar Stewart's lack of sack production, but while he wasn't my favorite prospect this year a lot of that was clearly what they were asking him to do. The good news with Scourton is that, unlike Stewart, did manage to be a huge factor as a pass rusher despite this and despite playing 20 lbs overweight. If he can stay around 260-265 it should help him re-gain some of that explosiveness from his Purdue days.

      I did, but again we're aware of the practice in college of inflating height/weight as well as what is considered normal and his freshman weight tells a lot. There was a recent Raw Room episode where at one point they were discussing putting on their "big boy weight" when they go to the pros. It's common for guys to have to slap on 20lbs over the summer, but King Dunlap mentioned having to put on 30 and how much of a toll that took on his body. That makes the idea of putting on 50 at the college level even harder to believe. I've got experience with cutting weight and that type of drop sounds just awful... and that's even if doing it healthy and not just turning yourself into a piece of human jerky. Having to add 50? Noooooo thank yoooou. I can understand wanting to take Scourton at face value, but we didn't take Bryce at face value either (and for good reason!). Give the recently posted videos a shot. I watched the one you linked even though I've already seen it, so why not extend the same courtesy? I think you'll find yourself getting more excited about his Purdue tape than you will being irritated by what you believe are false narratives being pushed. 😄
