First time since the theater and - as everyone else has already pointed out - it still remains as infectiously fun as ever. Also as everyone else has pointed out psychopathic, windbreaker-ed Michael Cera in full-on boss mode is some of the greatest comedic offerings of the 21st century. Honestly I've always loved this entire lightning-in-a-bottle idea where Rogen and his friends (all playing self-deprecating caricatures of themselves) are just hanging out at James Franco's place and then the apocalypse happens - where it gets used as little more than an analog to peddle their usual jocular, caustic brand of comedy. These are probably the only people in Hollywood who could even pull off this premise let alone without it coming out as some sort of pretentious vanity project. Wish we had more of the opening party stuff before it gets into the doomsday plot, and it treads in its last act - maybe about 10 or so minutes too long as a whole. But it still rules, and what killer demon design + effectwork. Hill and McBride walk away with it (after being bodied by Cera, of course).

Remake bah!
I know there is a new version of this film coming out soon and I'm not happy about it. The same way I wasn't happy about The Beguiled remake (which was horrible), some movies are better untouched.

This might be my favorite Steve McQueen film or at least his best acting performance (maybe The Sand Pebbles?) Everyone should watch this prison film and also the triumph of the human spirit.

Dustin Hoffman is also great as well as the great filming locations. They augment the story and make it more believable.

Highly recommended.

Coming from someone who enjoys reading MM romance, Dom of Las Vegas was a good enough book. I liked the way the author had incorporated different aspects of Las Vegas into the story. There were parts that I actually laughed because even though certain casinos weren't named, I knew exactly which ones they were. (I lived in Vegas for 20 years and picked them out rather quickly.)

The one downfall that I had a hard time with was Max's speak. It was too dry for my tastes. But this was a decent book and a quick read

Mythology
One of my top 10
This novel was one of the most original works I have read. It combines mythology from all over the world into an epic journey within the dirty underside of the melting pot that is America. The main characters are well fleshed out. An interesting aspect of the book is the โ€œcoming to Americaโ€ chapters that give the backstory on how the old gods in the novel came to be in America. This novel definitely focuses more on the journey to get to the climax rather than the climax itself.
