Okay, I haven’t been to the movie theater in years. I usually wait for video or netflix. But [this trailer](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i24fo2W5EaE) for the movie This is the End (coming out next month sometime) looks hilarious. _Warning, trailer has strong language, probably NSFW_ I mean, it also looks incredibly stupid and corny–the type of movie filled with “fart” jokes and the like–but I still think it looks absolutely hilarious as well. Of course, all the best scenes were probably put into that trailer (which almost seems to show the whole movie in itself, in chronological order) and the rest will probably be dreck. Still…I’ll give it a chance. ---

That looks awesome. Hell, the line “Hermione just stole all of our shit.” is worth it alone. I might actually go to a theater to watch this instead of waiting for the blu-ray. So it looks like aliens are fucking up LA and stealing people. EDIT: Ok after looking at the wiki and IMDB they say it’s the actual apocolypse so the people beaming up are going to heaven and not getting beamed up by aliesns. ---

I don’t like the premise and I don’t like any of the actors, so hell ya I’m gonna see it! Looks awesome! ---

Every stoner idiot actor comedian under 40(ish) from the past decade playing themselves in a post apocalyptic disaster film? It could possibly be brilliant. Craig Robinson had the best lines: “It’s too late for you Aziz! You’re already in the hole!” “FUCK YO’ HOUSE FRANCO!” ---

> [@silenus](#): > > I don’t like the premise and I don’t like any of the actors, so hell ya I’m gonna see it! Looks awesome! I might even actively hate some of the actors, especially Franco, and can’t stand the type of movie the lot of them is usually in and this one seems to start out as, but it looks like fun. Especially if Michael “One Note” Cera dies graphically. ---

I’m sorry. It’s Michael Cera. He can only die awkwardly. ---

Why the hate for Cera? Is he a douchebag? a jackass? an arrogant SOB? Pretty sad that seeing inoffensive, harmless actors die graphically gets you aroused. ---

> [@GovernmentMan](#): > > Why the hate for Cera? Is he a douchebag? a jackass? an arrogant SOB? He’s just not much of an actor who still plays George Michael Bluth in everything he does. Plus he’s Canadian, which explains the “inoffensive, harmless” you mentioned. Plus, as Danny McBride says in **Little Nemo** ’s trailer, “I guess if Michael Cera’s gone it isn’t a total loss.” ---

> [@GovernmentMan](#): > > Why the hate for Cera? Is he a douchebag? a jackass? an arrogant SOB? Pretty sad that seeing inoffensive, harmless actors die graphically gets you aroused. Cera’s not a bad person. But he plays essentially the same character in every movie he’s made. So I guess when people get tired of seeing that character, they’re also tired of seeing Cera. ---

> [@GovernmentMan](#): > > Why the hate for Cera? Is he a douchebag? a jackass? an arrogant SOB? Yes to all of the above. I’m not much of a fan of his “acting” and in interviews and TV appearances, he comes across as a total douchenozzle.
