"Tony Curtis as a terrible man and Burt Lancaster as something even worse, in one of the greatest showbiz movies ever made. James Wong Howe’s gorgeous cinematography and Elmer Bernstein’s jazzy score (with an assist from the great Chico Hamilton Quintet) all contribute to the alluring nocturnal Manhattan ambience. Alexander Mackendrick also directed great Ealing comedies, including The Ladykillers and The Man in the White Suit."

Set very convincingly in NOLA
Every character in this book is a terrible person (but comically so.) If that bothers you, you should skip it. (0 more)
It's own special flavor of humor, takes a couple pages to really "get it"
Sometimes if I get offended unnecessarily, I picture the main character in this book, reacting with histrionics an I chuckle to myself and move on with my life.

Gyllenhaal made it worthwhile
Generic, beaten to a pulp storyline of 'our curiosity of an alien species obliterated our common sense' (3 more)
Within the first 30 minutes you can pretty much guess how the film will end
The aliens name is more memorable than the alien itself
Every character makes terrible decisions that nobody qualified to be in space would make
At least they tried...

Great MMO, Terrible playerbase
I really liked this game when it first released years ago. I was one of the first players on my server to get a mount. However what ruined this game for me was the playerbase. I just couldn't stand it. I left shortly after the first expansion came out. Although I would go back in a heartbeat if they would make Ogre's playable.
