Finally got around to watching This is The End.

The biggest problem with the movie is it's fucking boring. At the initial party, it was kinda fun seeing all these actors play up the worst parts of their media personas for our entertainment, but once the disaster portion starts, we have to sit through an hour long slog of a bunch of unlikeable dicks, sat around in a house, being dicks. I get that this was done on purpose, and was supposed to be like a critique of reality TV and all that, but I hate reality TV anyway, let alone a movie playing up the worst aspects of it in an attempt to make their giant demon dick movie seem more intelligent than it really is.

And sure, the last half an hour was pretty awesome, where the movie suddenly decided to go all out and not even question what was going on and turn it into an all out apocalyptic blockbuster with demons and shit, but that doesn't change the fact that I was so bored during that middle section, I kept pausing it to browse porn just to stop myself nodding off.

Maybe if it was like forty five minutes shorter, or maybe if the initial party or final demon bouts were longer this could have been pretty great, but I just found it coma inducing, which is a shame as it did have a strong beginning and end.
