Best Film This Summer (AKA: This Is the End) Hits Home Video in October
Mon, August 12, 2013 
Two camps of film-goers; one who saw This Is the End and those who didn’t. And while the Seth Rogen/Evan Goldberg-directing apocalypse comedy was a financial success (First one in awhile for the longtime commercially poisonous Rogen), plenty opted to stay home that weekend, or in most cases see Man of Steel instead.
I get where those people are coming from. Both the green and red-band trailers came off like the biggest piece of Look at how staring at the camera being "Clever" meta crap since Ocean's 12. But trust me, it wasn't. It comfortably wore the Crown of "Best Movie of Summer 2013" with no real serious threats.
And I realize it's easier for you, good reader, to take a chance of This Is the End when the financial "risk" is $2 on Red Box compared to $15 (depend on where you live) at your local multiplex. Do yourself a favor and take that risk. You'll have a blast. Oh, and go in as clean as possible. Trust me. I damn near lost my voice laughing at loud (Phil will attest to that).
For the rest of us who saw the comedy-classic, here are the specs on the forthcoming DVD/Blu-Ray due to hit retailers October 1st courtesy of Entertainment Weekly. Take note, the names for several Blu-Ray-only featurettes spoil some of the biggest laughs. So I nuked them here. Normally I'm not a Spoiler Bitch, but again... you'll want to be surprised.
