Mar 31, 2013It's hard to feel sorry for people who live in a $900.000 house, drive a 5 series BMW and a Lexus SUV, own a large heated swimming pool, use iPhones/iPads/iMacs, have a Spine surgeon as a father and who organise large garden BBQ parties. These 'poor' characters are bogged down by simple superficial problems that could be easlily solved and are plagued by their Mid-life crisis, coz their relationship doesn't feel as fresh anymore. Mediocre acting by Mann & Rudd makes you care even less about the outcome of this 137 min long self indulgent nagfest. It seems Apatow only had one good movie in him, so maybe he should consider another job...… Expand
Dec 22, 2012Overall, not bad. Many criticisms the critics brought up are valid. It's long, tonally uneven, some of the comic bits fall flat, etc. I feel like it had great potential to either be a hilarious comedy or a touching drama, but instead, it feels like two different movies awkwardly sewn together, instead of a seamless, singular whole; the comedic elements undermine the dramatic scenes, and vice versa. If you walk in the theater from a critical standpoint, you'll probably be left feeling disappointed, but if you approach it from a more casual standpoint, you'll find lots to enjoy. While the movie intermittently made me laugh and feel, it could have easily been a much better film if it committed to either comedy or drama. Also, they spoil the ending of Lost, so I'm subtracting an additional point off of my score. Yes, some of us still haven't finished watching that show.… Expand
Dec 28, 2012sentimental, sometimes funny, typical Aptow navel gazing about emotional discovery and maturity. Wish he would get over the mid-life crisis and make something funny again. It is comparable to Louis the television series in that it makes fun of real life, steals some of his jokes, and is a realistic humor on getting older, only not nearly as funny. It is well balanced in that Megan fox has few lines and is mostly camera fodder to make the viewer forget that he is watching a **** polished version of a boring married couple. Would have been much more interesting if Rudd and Mann actually tried to kill each other and not just joke about it. don't pay money to see it. online free version is watchable. not worth the price of admission.… Expand
Mar 12, 2013Utterly Missable. 2 hrs I'll never get back. Steer clear unless you enjoy watching a spineless husband and a psychotic wife repeatedly arguing and whining, with a halfhearted peace-making occasionally thrown in to break the monotony which it actually becomes part of. The cheap one-liners are too weak and too rare to offer any conciliation. If not for Apatow's previous successes this film would never have been made. 4 THUMBS DOWN.… Expand
Jan 26, 2013How did this movie even get over a 6 from the users? C'mon people. This movie is unbearable. Its 2 hours and 20 minutes of people yelling at each other. The characters are insufferable. I hated them all. This is 40 is not a funny movie. Nor is it a good movie. Skip it.
Dec 31, 2012The movie "This is 40'' is such an aweful movie, such a piece of crap who are these people acting in
the movie? D list stars! First off, it was all about filthy sex, and there wasn't anything interesting in this movie, nothing left to the imagination, just pure filth. And to put kids in this movie is beyond me. This is pure rubbish and I was very, very, disappointed with this garbage movie. This was by far one of the worst, boring movies I have seen in a long, long, time. There, I got that off my chest.… Expand
Dec 29, 2012I agree with much of bl_nk's review, but I'll add that it's very long, but I never felt that it was too long or that I wanted it to end. It almost felt like a full season of Parenthood (though much funnier) crammed into 5 episodes. Most of the black humor resonated with me in particular - I noticed that I was often the only one laughing (hard) among the 20 or so people seeing the late, late show with me. My primary criticism is that it might have bitten off a BIT more than it could chew in terms of subplots and storylines. But Rudd and Mann are just flat-out funny. And I appreciate the basic honesty of the story. Apatow's kids are also excellent in their roles. Albert Brooks may have been a bit too strong for the film - he stole his scenes to the extent that he pulled focus away from the rest of the movie. So yes, the film employed a bit of a buckshot approach and was a touch unfocused, but I enjoyed it thoroughly.… Expand
Jan 10, 2013Its not terrible but Paul Rudd keeps playing the same kind of guy. Honestly I saw it a couple weeks ago and I had to watch the trailer again on here in order to remember it. I do like John Lithgow and he was one of the more interesting characters but his role was very small. Also I'm not sure when Hollywood is going to learn that most men generally are uncomfortable with jokes about masturbation.
It was just okay but very forgettable. If you watch a trailer for it, you've seen all you really need to see.… Expand
Jan 17, 2013The opposite of a date movie... this is more like a "never date" movie. The couple at the center of the story get into an argument 30 seconds into the film and the squabbling never lets up. Eighty minutes in, one of their kids says, "I'm sick of everybody fighting." I couldn't have agreed more. Although it's true that a story needs to have some conflict to be interesting, the mistake Apatow makes here is thinking that more conflict means more interesting. Sitting through over two hours of miserable people blaming each other for their miserable lives is far closer to torture than entertainment.… Expand
Apr 13, 2013Hmmm. This was a movie that seemed to have come out of Apatow's clinic of typic movies. This movie had his typical earmarks such as being a major platform for informing the public about his love of music to say the least. It was also infused with Paul Rudd's befuddled rants and Mann's classic freakouts. Combine with McCarthy's run-of-the-mill psychotic episodes, it was just too much of the same thing as these actors typically do in the other Apatow movies. Too much of the kids arguing, too much jokes that didn't land, and let's face it, if you're not married/have kids/and or 40, alot of what might be subtle humor just will fly over your head, but at the fault of not directing the humor in a way that us minority might understand it. The addition of Megan Fox was just insult to injury on that front. Overall, I didn't absolutely hate it, but after the credits rolled, it left me thinking "wow, that wasn't very funny."… Expand
Jan 2, 2013Not a movie so much as extended takes edited together (by no less than 3 credited editors) of improvised scenes from previous characters in another Judd Apatow movie. Like Funny People, this sacrifices story (and humor) for honesty, but the 2 hours of mean-spirited jaunt isn't worth the 9-minute payoff thrown together, nor the 2 minutes of outtakes at the end watching Melissa McCarthy improvise. Fast forward to her 2 scenes and turn the rest off. Waste of time.… Expand
Mar 28, 2013This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. What a disappointing movie, This is 40 turned out to be. Paul Rudd is hilarious and he was the best character from Knocked Up. Then factor in the premise of this film and you would think the movie would be fantastic. However, that couldn't be further from the truth. Yes, Paul Rudd is still great but other than him, this movie is horrible. First of all, the most obvious flaw is their daughters' complete and total lack of anything resembling acting ability. Honestly, is was just sad. I'm starting to side with a friend of mine who thinks kids should just be banned from acting in general because they're that bad. While I don't always agree with that assessment, he could use this film as Exhibit A when making his case. Secondly, the film's plot is pieced together like crap. I'm sorry but there's just no eloquent way to put it. This film made me question whether or not Judd Apatow even knows how to make a movie. Scenes jump from one to another without any rhyme or reason and a good portion of the scenes could be completely left out of the movie being that that add absolutely nothing to the character or plot development nor are they funny. Actually, that segues perfectly into my next point. This movie was WAY TOO LONG and you feel every minute of it, especially for the first half of the film, because of the terrible scene transitions. My last problem, the ending was a joke. Did Apatow forget about Rudd being hit by a car door? How does the result of that not get touched on before the conclusion of the film? Bottom line, Rudd is hilarious and Megan Fox is absolutely smoking but everything else about this movie is a big disappointment. Don't waste your time.… Expand
Apr 15, 2013I actually rather enjoyed it. A lot more then I did Knocked Up or the most torturous film of all time aka Funny People. It does follow the basic Apatow formula Struggling/Childish adults becoming more mature and emotionally stable. However, what saves this film isn't the comedy but that it's real life. The situations happening through out the film actually happen. We all have to deal with money problems, supporting elderly parents or parents who were never around much when we were growing up, As well as martial problems. I like that and thought that aspect of the film was well done. The humor did make me chuckle a few times but nothing serious but then again I saw it more as a drama film then a comedy after seeing the trailers so I wasn't disappointed with it. The run time is a bit too much and the film would have been better or at least more bare-able for some viewers if it were shorter but I didn't mind it. I didn't really mind all the sub-plots either because it all tied in with the film's main plot well enough to not be a bother. Acting is good, Rudd and Mann are at their best imo. Easily the best work Apatow has put out in years.… Expand
Dec 22, 2012This is classic Apatow-very funny and very naughty.Rudd and Mann make a good couple and the daughters are adorable.But Apatow needs to learn that sometimes less is more as this movie would have been better at 105 minutes than it is at 130 minutes.As funny as it is it seems very long for a comedy.
Aug 15, 2013Cliche, predicable, boring, annoying add up to waste of time. It's just a sequence of celebrity and brand name dropping with adults acting out as irresponsible adolescents and adolescents acting out as mouthy brats. I watched half before calling time-of-death.
Dec 26, 2012This movie is funny but ultimately bland and pointless. At least 45 minutes of the film (which never really goes anywhere, or has any sort of plot) could be cut out and the same message will still be gleaned. Fans of Knocked Up may enjoy this, but otherwise it is a mediocre romantic comedy.
Dec 29, 2012While this movie isnt perfect by any means, I feel its been getting a bum rap. As a 42 year old myself, I could relate to a lot of the humor and I really enjoyed the chemistry between Leslie Mann and Paul Rudd. My main problem is it seems there were too many underdeveloped plot issues where the meat and potatoes were left on the cutting room floor or just went left unsaid (the last 10 minutes of the movie doesnt really tie anything up).
Bottom line is if you are married and have kids and are nearing 40, then I definitely recommend this movie to you. If you are young and single....maybe not so much.… Expand
Feb 14, 2013Funny. With a dose of pathos and melodrama. If an up-and-coming director made this it would be receiving the plaudits it deserves as a very very solid comedy/drama. I went to see it at 6pm on a wet Thursday in Scotland and the half empty theatre loved it. Judd's becoming a victim of his own success. Another great comedy. Genuinely funny people making a genuine, and genuinely funny, film.
Jan 1, 2013I really think Apatow is trying to win an Oscar. This film is so more serious and relatable than his previous ones, and I'm not sure how I like it. It's a pretty good movie and it definitely makes you question your realationships but the 2 and a half hour run time are felt, and at times it is more awkward than enjoyable. Still a pretty good movie even if it is nothing like the other ones.
Dec 27, 2012Paul Rudd on a toilet AGAIN !!! Come on find another skit for the guy. He did it 3 times in this movie alone. Hard to put a number on this one. Some jokes worked great others not so. Both fathers characters were overdone. The girls screamed and fought a bit too much. Other scenes like the one with the kid that looked like Tom Petty worked great. Although clever observations about life are presented in this movie, development is scarce. Nice to see if there is nothing else on at the theater.… Expand
Mar 20, 2013Bland, annoying and badly executed, Judd Apatow disappoints once again. If you liked Knocked Up, give this one a miss.
These movies with family members playing major roles don't ever work, learn your lesson Apatow.
Dec 28, 2012This movie was hilarious! It had its serious moments that didn't get too dramatic and romantic moments that didn't get too cheesy. The humor was clever and probably too modern and advanced for the movie critics to comprehend. I really enjoyed the film and felt like a lot of the characters and situations between parents and children really hit close to home. Thanks for another great film Judd Apatow!… Expand
Jan 9, 2013Maybe it is about 20 minutes to long and concludes the main plot point twice, but "This Is 40" is full of comedic moments and overall relatable content that is definitely worth a watch.
Jan 3, 2013Probably the worst movie I have seen. What a waste of time and money!! Extremely fragmented, excessive, unnecessary vulgarity, no chemistry between the characters and not funny.. nobody laughed in the audience. All I heard were gasps related to the unnecessary vulgarity even from the children. I guess after reading all the reviews and seeing who was in the movie I expected to laugh a little... didn't happen. Not sure if the people that gave the positive reviews were paid off because there is no way anyone could say this movie was good.… Collapse
Jan 21, 2013This is good piece of film making and story telling. I know on the poster it tells us 'It's sort of a sequel' but it's not. OK, if we had Seth Rogen and Katherine Heigl then it might pass for a sequel but we don't. What we do have is a good comedy/drama (dramedy?) where we glimpse into the lives of Pete and Debbie from Knocked Up. All their trials and tribulations, dentist and gynaecologist visits which are
very funny and so true. Judd Apatow enlists the help of the family
again and they are all great, especially Iris Apatow as the annoying
baby sister. This is as funny as Knocked Up but I felt it was 30
minutes too long. Even so it works well. Couples who have been together
a few years will especially find it hilarious.
Good fun.
Score 6.5/10… Expand
Jan 21, 2013This movie is so bad it hurt my eyes to watch,Leslie Mann is less than a one trick pony and if she wasnt married to apatow she would be dredging a living on reality shows....maybe.
Paul Rudd looks a sif he wants to scream.."where did it all go wrong"!
The only possible saving Grace is Mellisa Mcarthy who is always a joy.
dont watch this, you will never get the time back!
Feb 13, 2013Funny as heck!! Paul Rudd is the best! There are so many great moments that you can barely find time to stop laughing before something else happens. Anyone with pre-teen aged kids can relate to most of this story. My only real issue with the movie is that it is entirely too long for a movie of its type. Its a comedy about life at 40, not a Lord of the Rings trilogy!!
Apr 12, 2013This movie is CRAP! I recall it being a comedy but it is just actors reading a script in front a camera. The only person who added life to this movie is Megan Fox...just saying.I normally like to watch movies that show real life events but those kids are just TV BRATS that would influence REAL LIFE BRATS. My opinion is this movie is
Apr 29, 2013This film was completely garbage, it shows that Judd Apatow can out anything and it will be picked up by some mainstream studio. This film is nothing like Knocked Up so if you are hoping for some similar laughs you are lookin in the wrong place. This movie consists of a married couple and moaning about life not living up to their expectation. Completely and utter crap.
Feb 2, 2014There are so many wrong things about this un-funny comedy that I am not sure where to start. The very loose plot revolves around a rich married couple, with two daughters. All the members of this family spend most of their "quality" time shouting at each other.
Despite this, hubby (Paul) and wife (Debbie) carry on their dysfunctional marriage for reasons impossible to understand. They both are immature, self-absorbed and kept together only by sex.
Several scenes involve trivial language and cringe-inducing situations.
To mention but a few: Debbie insults a kid, after having read his comments on her daughter's facebook page (how utterly pathetic to see an adult woman losing it with a kid for such a trivial reason...); Debbie going to the disco with her employee and behaving like a teenager; Paul spending a lot of time in the toilet (we have the pleasure of seeing him taking a dump not once but twice), etc.....
The only saving grace for me was that this was supposed to be my in-flight entertainment, so at least I had the pleasure of not paying for a ticket.… Expand
Jun 13, 2013So funny!!!!!! I laughed my butt off. I love all of Judd Appatow's movies. There is always a great combination of hilarious and meaningful sentiment towards them. Rudd and Mann make a great combo.
Aug 6, 2013The first word that comes to mind with this movie is "miserable". There was no central plot and the parts that actually were there are put out there and then ignored and practically unused. It was just plain terrible with very few parts even attempting comedy.
Dec 8, 2013Epically awful......................................................................................................................................................
Jan 16, 2013I give Apatow kudos for trying something decent with this. It has elements of a serious comedy, "Lost in Translation" style, but also silliness to try and equal it out. Often it works, but just as often it fails. The film has had great potential, and it is rather decent end-product overall, with good performances by the cast, especially Leslie Mann. There seems to be some disjointments in the story, but it is rather entertaining, though a tad too long. Not bad at all, but not a great film either. It's within the 'good' category, for sure. 6/10… Expand
Jul 18, 2013The movie has its fair share of laughs, although none of them are of the gut busting variety, and Mann and Rudd do a commendable job of carrying the film on their combined shoulders. But This Is 40 ultimately fails due to a maddening lack of focus. It feels like it's trying to go in ten different directions at the same time.
Dec 24, 2012This movie offers truth, big laughs, and theories on what makes relationships so difficult to maintain in the modern world. The old saying "familiarity breeds contempt" could not be more true in most marriages and in these character's lives. I laughed almost every scene and so did the other four people with me. We all came out very surprised by how good it was. I would see it again. Although I would say Silver Linings Playbook is the funniest movie of the year, this is a close second. I would actually go see this again before I saw Silver Linings again. Because I understand these characters, I know these characters, most of us are these characters. Go see it, sit back and relax, and laugh.… Expand
Dec 26, 2012Very funny, entertaining movie...but I think it's probably not as good as Knocked Up. The most negative thing I can say is that it's super weird and awkward that Katherine Heigl's character from Knocked Up, Alison, is not even mentioned. I mean in Knocked Up, they're so close that Alison lives with her sister Debbie (Leslie Mann) and brother-in-law Pete (Paul Rudd), but in This is 40, she's gone and not even mentioned? I mean maybe she moved away, but would they really pretend she doesn't exist? In the movie, we meet Debbie's father, and learn about her childhood, still no mention of her sister, Alison. Kind of weird. But, despite this, it's a funny movie. It is slightly long, but never slow or boring. Has a good amount of R-rated-ness for those that like their comedies a little less squeaky clean and a bit more adult.… Expand
Jun 4, 2013"While it comes with many flaws. This is 40 is a calmly funny, up-beat comedy that takes us through the mid-life crisis. While its not always laugh out loud funny. Thanks to comedic timing by Rudd & Mann, this movie saved itself from being a much worse" C
Dec 22, 2012Overall this is an enjoyable and funny movie. It hit the comedic mark in many moments and was not a rehash of other films of this genre. But it was uneven and slow at times.
Jan 5, 2013Leslie Mann and Paul Rudd (reprising the characters they created in "Knocked Up") turn 40 and deal with complications in their marriage, family and careers. There's not much of a plot line, just situations where they interact with each other and friends. In typical Judd Apatow style, the dialogue often feels improvised, but that doesn't stop it from being very funny. The supporting cast is loaded with strong comic turns, esp. Albert Brooks & Melissa McCarthy. This movie is full insights into life and relationships that elicit chuckles of recognition and lots of laughs.… Expand
Jan 4, 2013Fight-make up-fight-make up-fight=make up. There is never a big moment in this movie. Right when you think that their gonna have the fight to end all fights and the movie is gonna take some sort of a turn, the fight is over and we go back to square one. No real story arc. The acting is good and there's a few funny parts. Not a bad movie but definitely not Apatow's best by a long shot.
Feb 13, 2014It's sometimes sweet and often funny, the entire film is a brutally honest look at life around the mid-life crisis time. As far as comedy goes this movie can provide tons of laugh-out-loud moments that make excellent use of the film's vulgarity. It's not always providing hilarious moments, there are plenty of times when the film is relying on more dramatic and emotional moments, but the movie is at it's best when it is.
The film is, for the most part, excellently cast. Most of the minor characters provide just as many hilarious moments as the main cast, but there are a few odd choices. For instance it's clear that they want Megan Fox's character to be more than just a minor inclusion, but they fail to make her character funny in any way shape or form, resulting in her being nothing more than eye candy. Also some of the funnier minor characters like Melissa McCarthy ended leaving me wishing they had more screen time.
"This Is 40" is a very funny movie that will please audiences 40 and older the most. Not everything is going to stick with you, but what does stick will have you chuckling at the very thought of it. It's not going to appeal to everyone, I might have been too young to understand the more dramatic bits, but those who have been though this part in their life are sure to find a real treat with this movie. As long as you aren't expecting a masterpiece you shouldn't be disappointed.… Expand
Jun 23, 2014This Is 4o is an excellent movie from Judd Apatow. The nail is pretty much nailed on the head regarding marriage and children. There were just so many familiar sights on offer here! Plus it was really funny.
Mar 9, 2013Absolutely loved it. Favorite comedy of the year! Thought it was fantastic from start to finish. Was my life! Cannot wait to see what Rudd does next! 10/10
Mar 3, 2013A family drama that doesn't end with a marriage collapsing or strengthening. A film that maintains the status quo while being utterly foul and equally as heartfelt. This is 40 follows Pete and Debbie from Knocked Up as they enter what they perceive to be middle age and decide to change their lives for the better although in reality it might just be for the worst, the absolute worst. It's a film designed for the modern family, or that's what all the posters and adverts seem to suggest but to be honest the idea that this film is something for the modern family is completely absurd. In fact the family portrayed in this film feels nothing like the modern family (does anyone really know what a modern family is?), it feels dated even for 2013, I mean even the Lost references (there are plenty) are 3 years old. It's a film that does have a lot to say about family and does display a interesting family unit and a unique view of what a family should look like as compared to the idealised one we have in our head. This family unit is a strong one and each character interacts well with each other. However that's not to say the film is just about family and portrays family perfectly, its a very flawed film too. It's middle suffers due to some boring plot developments and lackluster jokes that befit a much different film. Ultimately its a film that seems it was written in parts with the beginning and the end meshing with each other well but the middle feeling wholly out of place and wrong. The middle does have some merit in fact Megan Fox surprises with a hilarious supporting role as one of Debbie's employees. However it is the ending that really raises the film up above Apatow's usual fair with some touching family moments that feel real. The inclusion of Albert Brooks and John Lithgow as Pete and Debbie's respective fathers gives a nice contrast and makes for some decent conflict the these characters. It's a film that has a huge chunk of a flaw but its one that you can ultimately shrug off thanks to an ending that reminds you why you liked these characters to begin with.… Expand
Feb 22, 2013Pete and Debbie, the loveable couple from Knocked Up, are back in the "sort of sequel" This Is 40. The couple are both turning 40, within days of each other, and decide that the number means it's time for a change, for them, as well as their family. They get new jobs and reconnect with family on their journey toward becoming a more mature couple, but it comes at a cost. Judd Apatow writes and directs this unique comedy, so I was expecting another hilarious winner, but they can't all be winners. The cast is fantastic and there are more than a few good laughs here, but this movie is extremely long and drawn out for a romantic comedy, and while it starts out strong, it starts to grow tiresome. There are many scenes between husband and wife that are boring and completely unnecessary. What I did like was how Apatow cast his daughters to be Pete and Debbie's daughters. They really are sisters and there was no pressure working for their dad, allowing them to really make it seem like this is a real family, and it's a good thing too, because for as good as both Paul Rudd and Leslie Mann are, they just didn't have much chemistry together. Both cast members were good in portraying their own characters, but when you put them together you see that something just isn't right about the pairing. I loved the concept and you will definitely laugh during this film, but it does lack a certain chemistry and is far too long for what it is.… Expand
Dec 29, 2012This movie was surprisingly good ! From now on I'm going to ignore the critic reviews when going into movies, because this one was way more enjoyable then they lead on. Rudd and Mann have the perfect chemistry as displayed in Knocked up. I love how their daughters grew up, and the actors are very believable as a family. And many of the actors from bridesmaids add more comedy to the all ready funny plot. The only complaints I have is that the movie is overly long. Its not poorly paced at all, but it was a good two hours and ten minutes long, so be prepared for that. And my last complaint is that like fellow review "kristen58" pointed out is that Alison ( Katherine Heigel) and Ben (Seth Rogan) are absent and not even mentioned in this entire movie. They were the Main characters from Knocked Up and even though I see this film as a spin-off rather than a sequel from knocked up, It would have been a nice touch if they even referenced them. Mann's character constantly talks about her family and her father, but there is never even a mention of her sister. But overall I would definitely recommend this movie. Money well spent.… Expand
Jan 21, 2013This is 40 is a tale of 2 movies. The first hour and half seems forced, unnecessary and has mindless conversations. The last 40 minutes, Apatow brings back his old ways of comedy and has some of the funniest scenes since The 40 year old Virgin
Apr 6, 2013A remarkably funny movie based around concepts that feel so relatable and honest. The improvisation in this movie was great, and you really feel as if you understand the characters. Fun and serious and everything in between in only a way Judd Apatow could deliver.
Dec 28, 2012This movie was hilarious. I wasn't expecting much because of the so-so reviews, but I was really surprised. The lines were great and the the cast carried them off beautifully. Loved Leslie Mann, but I thought that Albert Brooks stole the movie. Would've loved even more of him. Judd Apatow knew exactly what he was doing, maybe because it is his life, but even if not, he was spot on. Funniest movie of the year!… Expand
Jan 1, 2013A little long, a little inconsistent, and a little full of unnecessary supporting characters. In the end its success hinges on the likability of its cast, and it that regard it mostly works.
Dec 24, 2012If you aren't laughing throughout this movie, then you are either not being honest with yourself about what it means to be 40ish, or take yourself W-A-Y too seriously. This movie was like staring into the mirror. And yes, if you are 40ish, married, living in the 'burbs, with kids you have definitely had one or more of the conversations / situations depicted in the film. Judd Apatow has a knack for portraying comic honesty in real life. Judd Apatow's filmmaking seems to capture the basic flaw in Gen X, many of us lack some basic maturity. His films show us the reality of our stunted lives and make us laugh heartily. Congratulations to an accomplished filmmaker.… Expand
Dec 25, 2012This is 40 was hilarious. In my New York cinema on Christmas Day the crowd started laughing from the first line and didn't stop til the end. Metacritic can make you doubt the wisdom of critics sometimes; this was easily the most enjoyable film I saw all year (other than Brooklyn Castle). Go see it - and stay for the credits.
Jan 1, 2013This is 40 is self indulgent, silly and only occasionally funny. The main problem is its just too long, scenes dither and meander which ultimately detracts from any possible cinematic weight or substance. I have no doubt that there is a perfectly funny, astute 90min movie itching to get out of this fatty 134 min sludge of a film. A crying shame.
Jan 2, 2013I absolutely loved this movie and didn't want it to end. I can't wait another 5 years for a sequel, I want Apatow to write another immediately, or put everyone in a sitcom or reality show. I laughed and I cried, I love Leslie and her daughters the most.
Feb 13, 2013Marketed as the 'Sort-of sequel to Knocked Up', writer/director/producer Judd Apatow returns with his regular blend of bickering tragicomedy, only this time it's more cantankerous, self-aggrandising, and most painful of all longer then it ever should or deserved to be.
Full review here:
Jan 24, 2013This is 40 was not the kind of comedy that I was expecting, and has shown that Judd Apatow is becoming a much darker director. I have always enjoyed Judd Apatow's work; films like Bridesmaids and The 40-Year Old Virgin were really well made and well written while also being hilarious. This film is a sequel to Apatow's 2007 film Knocked Up, but it doesn't bring back Seth Rogen or Kathryn Bigelow and instead stars the supporting actors Paul Rudd and Leslie Mann. This new movie proves to have some funny and touching moments, but Judd Apatow seems to be more focused on making a drama rather than a comedy. I didn't laugh as much as I wanted too and many of the characters reach a fine line between likable and really mean. I like to enjoy the characters in a comedy but in this movie the two parents are just always fighting, the two kids are just wretched little creatures, and all the people around them just always give bad advice and make their lives even more difficult. I must admit, the fights between this married couples were some of the best moments of the movie as they really show the good performances from Paul Rudd and Leslie Mann while also showing some real life arguments that married couples have all the time. I know many couples that have gone through this kind of mid-life crisis when they were around 40 years old and this movie shows the difficulties of that kind of marriage. I love the heartfelt and true moments that Judd Apatow puts in his comedies, but he directs this movie so sad and depressing at some moments that it… Expand
Apr 26, 2013This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Don't waste your time on this dud. Judd Apatow has made and/or produced some funny movies. "Forgetting Sarah Marshall", "Superbad", "Bridesmaids" were all good comedies. "The 40 Year Old Virgin" was okay. "Knocked Up" (to which "This Is 40" is sort of a sequel to) was mediocre while "Pineapple Express" stunk. He executive produces on HBO's rather entertaining "Girls".
The main problem with this movie is that the main characters are basically a pair of privileged, lying, mean-spirited, manipulative white people and it's really hard to care about them and their first world problems. There were times when the couple were almost relatable but then they'd go and do something borderline sociopathic and I was right back to hating them. This couple were okay as supporting characters in "Knocked Up", but really can't carry their own movie so one is left wondering why Apatow thought this would be a good idea.
I am a parent. I understand what it is to love your kids and want to give them every opportunity to succeed in life. That said, Judd Apatow has got to stop thinking that letting his irritating daughters, Iris and Maude, act in his movies is a good idea. It's bad enough that the characters they are playing are given crappy material to work with, but it's made far worse that neither of these little hellspawn munchkins could act their way out of wet brown paper bag. Every scene they're in is excruciating.
Some of the cameo appearances by Apatow regulars are fun. Some are not so fun. Charlyne Yi as Jodi is painfully unfunny, especially in a scene in a coffee shop where her character is high on oxycodone and starts doing these really bad croaky voices. Charlyne Yi is undoubtedly a better actress than Megan Fox, and yet Fox's character is infinitely more watchable and definitely much more likeable. Scenes like this one seem to have been written (or more likely improvised) in the hopes of making stoners laugh. I wouldn't have found that s*** funny even in the days when I did smoke pot.
This movie stinks. Save yourself the boredom, pain, and two hours you'll never get back and skip this sucker...… Expand
Apr 30, 2013A typical Apatow movie funny with enjoyable stars, but a tad long. This film was enjoyable mainly because you have Paul Rudd and Leslie Mann two very likeable and funny stars.
Mar 14, 2013I found myself smirking lightly a few times during this one. It was pretty boring to be honest. I found just disappointed after every scene with the children.. how does a father say to his young daughters that I wish they had a dick? Or the fact they yell out "I'M GONNA KILL YOU"! The usual manufactured Hollywood movie. This movie was filled with so much Satanic symbolism, aside from the main theme of the movie. Along with the cruel context between the people in the movie, it just shows how repetitive this absurd formula is. Of course they have the children act as little brats, parents glorifying them, speaking to them with utmost disrespect. This movie also endorses sex, power, and drugs, aside being "happy" all the time. These are all the same variables that are in most Hollywood movies that are used to inflict emotion to audiences. These emotions disarrays people from the reality that these practices are so disgusting. But hey to most of you I'm sure this is just another "conspiracy" lol, Educate yourself. Peace.… Expand
Mar 25, 2013I was disappointed by this movie. I had high hopes that it would be funny and a good time to watch. It had it's funny moments but it wasn't anything special. I know the movie was going for a genuine relationship, but I just felt like were fighting the entire time. If I wanted to see a couple fight, I could have stayed home. The movie was also too long, the ending dragged on a lot and I feel like they could have deleted a few more scenes. Megan Fox was awesome to look and Paul Rudd is always adorable. In all, I just wasn't impressed.… Expand
Apr 16, 2013There are a lot of great comedic actors having great fun here. Like many of Apatow's films, it's too long, kind of self-indulgent and not quite sure of what it wants to be. However, the characters spoke to me. It's not so much a study on middle age, but not knowing where you are in life, at any age. It isn't perfect, but it doesn't have to be.
Apr 27, 2013There are some funny one-liners, but the irresponsible nature of the characters in this movie drove me nuts. The fathers in this movie are total dead beats and all the fighting and bickering got annoying. If there is one message to take away from this, having kids is no reason to keep someone around!!!
Mar 2, 2014judd apatow films are amazing expect the 40 year old virgin . leslie mann and paul rudd are funny including melissa mccarthy . but judd keeps making r rated films . make a pg13 film first
Jul 12, 2014funnier than expected, but its a typical 1 time see movie and thats it.at least you can see leslie´s **** and megan is always welcome
Nov 23, 2014This is 40 is a movie for anyone in their teenage years to anyone in middle age. Its full of good laughs and this movie does very well considering Seth Rogen is not featured in the sequel to Knocked Up. Paul Rudd and Leslie Mann are great. Another great Judd Apatow film.
With his fourth film as writer-director, Judd Apatow has arguably made his most personal film yet, without forgetting to make us laugh.
Jan 11, 2013Apatow's return creates a pleasantly sprawling, perceptive study of mid-life angst that never lacks for laughs. Promoting Rudd and Mann from Knocked Up's margins to centre stage proves to be a shrewd move.
It's not bad, exactly – but it is boring and very rarely funny. This is laboured. This is aimless. This Is 40. It's really quite a grind.

What happened to the regular format screen with new questions?
AJ, the HVAC forum is missing.
Removing the Technician Brian category was not mentioned
We also moved all the topics from the TechnicianBrian board into the other forum boards and closed the TechnicianBrian board. As you may have known the TechnicianBrian board was more or less a copy of Brians blog post.I believe the copy and paste of Brians blog post to our forum may have been hurting our google page ranking.You can still read Brians blog at http://www.technicianbrian.com/Brian is still a "AJ Team" member and all his old post can still be found in the forums.
I don't think Brian was messing up the site neither.
I vote for the HVAC board also.Assumming your web site is a democracy.
PS I googled appliance repair and ApplianceJunk came up third yesterday. I gotta think me and a bunch of others along with yourself have kicked a bunch of appliance repair forum butt to get it where it is today.
I would be glad to help out when I can.

Version 8.22 of all components of the Citadel system are now available. This is another maintenance release. Share and enjoy.
Current Citadel news
Citadel 8.20
Version 8.20 of the award-winning Citadel groupware suite is now available. This is primarily a maintenance release; there are no new major components of the system.
Worth noting is that if you are building Citadel from source code, the text mode client is now a separate download. Easy Install will continue to deliver this component.
Lately we are noticing that many hobbyists are choosing to install the Citadel system on Raspberry Pi hardware, due to Citadel's unique combination of an extensive feature set and small memory/disk footprint. We would like to congratulate these clever hobbyists and continue to support Citadel on all versions of the Linux operating system.
FLOSS Weekly talks Citadel
This week on FLOSS Weekly, Randall Schwartz and Simon Phipps chat with Art Cancro, lead developer of the Citadel system, and chat about Citadel's history as a BBS platform and the modern groupware platform it offers today. Check it out!
Citadel 8.02 brings new content management features and more
Citadel is now the best groupware and content management system. Version 8.02 brings not only an easily installed, fully integrated collaboration platform, but also content management features such as blog and wiki support. You can also configure your system to allow visitors to browse the public portions of the site in "guest" mode, so if you are running blogs, wikis, or forums intended for general consumption by the Internet public, site visitors can browse those rooms without having to first create an account. This also means that your site can optionally be spidered by the big search engines, bringing more visitors and activity to your Citadel installation.
Citadel 8 also brings full support for IPv6, allowing you to integrate it with modern network configurations.
Citadel 7.84 released
We don't announce every single new release, but this one is worth mentioning: the Citadel team is proud to unveil version 7.84 of our entire software stack.
New features include:
* A greatly improved XMPP (Jabber) service, for better compatibility with more instant messenger clients.
* A completely new bulletin board (forum) view, also greatly improved in both performance and features.
* A brand new multiuser chat facility, redesigned for better access through a web browser
* Many bug fixes and performance enhancements.
"Share and Enjoy" !

New features in Citadel 7.60
There are some exciting features that have been completed in Citadel 7.60, and we thought you might be interested in knowing about two of them.
The first new feature is a big change to how Citadel uses LDAP. You might know that prior to Citadel 7.50, we had the ability to populate an external LDAP address book with the contents of Citadel's global address book. As it turned out, this was not very useful. It was deprecated in 7.50 and has been removed in 7.60. We were fairly certain that nobody was using this feature, and the fact that no one has complained about its deprecation seems to confirm this.
Instead, Citadel 7.60 has the ability to authenticate against an external LDAP directory, which seems to be what most people wanted in the first place. We've supported authentication via the host system for a long time, and in practice most sites seem to combine this with pam_ldap and nss_ldap to allow Citadel to participate in "single sign on" at organizations which use LDAP. So why not make it easy? Citadel 7.60 speaks directly to your LDAP server, and the configuration consists of entering a few simple configuration items instead of all that tedious mucking about in the /etc directory. We support both the industry-standard LDAP schema (RFC 2307) and the most commonly deployed nonstandard schema (Microsoft Active Directory).
The other big new feature we've completed is a complete rewrite of the import/export module. The old way was usable but fairly clumsy. In Citadel 7.60, the database dump format is XML based, and the import/export operations run much faster. And beginning now, we are making the dump format upward compatible, so the target system can be running a newer version of Citadel than the source system. You will not have to upgrade the source system in order to migrate it.
To make this even more useful, we've written an "over the wire" migration utility. When you want to migrate Citadel to a new host system, even one with a different CPU architecture, you just run the migrate utility on the target host, and point it at the source host. The migrate utility will do all of the work for you automatically, producing a perfect clone of your Citadel installation. OpenSSH and rsync are used to copy the parts of your Citadel data that are not stored in the database, such as user profiles (bios), photos and other images, etc. This utility will do for migrations what Easy Install did for installations.
These features were frequently requested, and we are happy to announce that they are now available.
Citadel 7.50 released
We are pleased to announce version 7.50 of the Citadel system, now available via http://www.citadel.org as source code, Easy Install, and packages for selected Linux distributions.
This is a *big* update. New features:
- Recurring events are now supported across the entire calendar system, as well as all-day events which span multiple days.
- The entire WebCit framework is now templatized, allowing customization for individual sites without modifying the program code.
- The mailbox summary view is now faster and more versatile, thanks to a new JavaScript-based interface that minimizes client/server traffic.
- Message renderers have been updated to handle a number of new features, such as unlimited nesting and inline images.
- Message composition has been updated to handle improved character set conversion, preferred email address and display name persistent in per-user preferences, and unlimited email signature size.
- Integrated support for virus scanning with ClamAV. You will no longer have to run ClamAV via SpamAssassin (although that mode still works).
- Integrated support for SpamAssassin has been expanded to include a site-definable choice of tagging or rejecting spam.
- Improved interoperability with vCards generated by third-party address book software.
- All of the fonts in WebCit are now relative sized, making the whole site look better on screens of all sizes.
- Hundreds of performance improvements, user interface enhancements, and bug fixes.
Citadel.org security advisory - 2009-march-23
WebCit is a middleware application which provides a web based user interface for the Citadel groupware system. More information may be found at the project's site at the following URL:
WebCit uses a weak encoding for remote provided data to build up a local string. Exploitation of a format string vulnerability could allow a remote attacker to perform an unauthorized privilege escalation.
Citadel.org has confirmed the existence of this vulnerability in version 7.22 of WebCit. Other components of the Citadel system are not affected.
If you are unable to upgrade your system to a non-vulnerable version of WebCit at this time, you may also choose to block access to the following URL's using your site's existing edge security tools:
This will prohibit remote exploit of this vulnerability, at the expense of reduced functionality of the program.
Citadel.org has confirmed that this vulnerability has been fixed.
If you are using source code downloads, please upgrade to version 7.39 (or later).
If you are using the Easy Install system or the VMware appliance, please run a normal update in order to receive the patch.
If you are using Debian or Ubuntu packages, please upgrade to version 7.38-37 (or later).
Please be advised that you may also be required to upgrade the Citadel server in order to maintain compatibility with a new version of WebCit.
2009-02-13 - discovery of vulnerability
2009-02-13 - fix implemented
2009-03-23 - coordinated public disclosure
This vulnerability was discovered internally by Wilfried Goesgens firstname.lastname@example.com and patched prior to disclosure.
Copyright © Citadel.org
Permission is granted for unlimited redistribution of this alert. The information in this advisory is believed to be accurate at the time of publishing based on currently available information, and is provided "as is" with no warranties as to its accuracy or applicability.

What's new?
There hasn't been a lot of Citadel news lately, but that doesn't mean that there isn't anything going on. We've been working "heads down" for the last few months to bring a major new release of the Citadel system. Some of the exciting new features currently in development are:
- Recurring calendar events
- WebCit fully templatized for easy customizability
- Direct support for ClamAV (no more running ClamAV from within SpamAssassin) – as well as the ability to tag spam instead of rejecting it
And that's just the short-term roadmap. We have some really exciting new features planned for 2009 after this next release is completed.
OpenSSL vulnerability in Debian Etch and Ubuntu
A vulnerability involving predictable random numbers has been discovered in the OpenSSL packages included with Debian Etch and Ubuntu systems. This vulnerability affects all software which makes use of SSL/TLS encrypted connections, including Citadel.
Please see http://lists.debian.org/debian-security-announce/2008/msg00152.html for more detailed information.
In order to patch the OpenSSL vulnerability, issue this command:
apt-get update; apt-get upgrade
Afterwards, you should regenerate your private keys in SSL/TLS enabled applications, such as Citadel. The procedure for doing so on a Citadel installation using the Debian package is:
rm -f /etc/ssl/citadel/*
For an Easy Install system, it is:
rm -f /usr/local/citadel/keys/*
Then restart Citadel to make it generate new keys. If you are making use of certificates signed by a certificate authority, you will need to submit a new CSR to them for re-signing.
Naturally, if you are also running OpenSSH on your server, you will need to regenerate keys for that as well.

WASHINGTON - Firefighters from around the country are stepping up to help the families of the 10 firefighters killed in the massive fertilizer plant explosion in West, Texas.
The National Fallen Firefighters Foundation will provide both short and long-term resources for the families, says foundation Director Ron Siarnicki.
"We will help them deal with things like home repairs, and help them understand some of the elements of financial planning. Because often times, when a death occurs, the primary bread winner for the family is gone," Siarnicki says.
The Foundation also provides scholarships for firefighters' children and help pay for funeral expenses.
Siarnicki, who is the former fire chief for Prince George's County, is in West this week. He says the support is even more crucial in West because the town also lost one of its major employers — the fertilizer plant.
Five other people were killed in last week's explosion.

We've all been there. Having fallen in love with a pair of gravity defying heels which perfectly sculpt our legs and complement our outfits, 10 minutes into wearing them we are cursing the day we ever saw them on the shelf. But while we struggle through with gritted teeth young starlet, Kristen Stewart has another tactic.
Notorious for her refusnik attitude, K-Stew isn't exactly the consummate red carpet pro. However, during the current round of premieres for her new movie, Snow White & The Huntsman, her nonchalant approach has reached new heights. Limiting her time in heels to an absolute minimum, Kristen has been busted not once, but twice in three days swapping her glamorous stilettos for sneakers. At the London premiere K-Stew was caught red faced by the paps changing in a bush from a pair of Nikes into black heels. Two days later in Berlin, it was almost the same story as she slipped off her 'Pigalle' Loubotins into flats shoes to greet her fans.
K-Stew's recent red carpet choices have been well considered – a 10 Crosby Derek Lam red midi dress, a BCBG Max Azria colour block look, an orange and blue lace Preen mini dress and the WOWSERS black Marchesa gown she rocked for London's world premiere. But does her low-key hair and make-up and inability to maintain the glamour factor in her heels make you love her even more, or think she needs to get some fashion balls and deal with the shoe pain? Either way, we are always happy to see a young red carpet star break from the pack and follow her own fashion star - and you never know, with a bit more practice she might yet learn to walk in those heels.

NH Fish & Game plans $695,000 tracking project to study moose population's rapid decline
New Hampshire's moose population is on the decline, according to Fish & Game officials, who plan a $695,000 project to collar and track moose in an effort to determine the cause. (UNION LEADER FILE)
Moose mortality• Moose may live 20 years, but average lifespan is 10 to 12 years.
• Black bear are a significant predator of moose calves under nine weeks old. Coyotes may also take an occasional calf.
• Moose are susceptible to a tiny parasite known as brainworm, which is usually fatal. The parasite is passed from deer to moose via snails, which moose ingest while feeding.
• Moose also die from severe infestations of winter ticks. An infested moose can carry up to 120,000 ticks and can lose large amounts of hair trying to remove them, leading to secondary infections and hypothermia.
• Each year, as many as 250 moose die as a result of collisions with automobiles.
— NH Fish & Game (wildlife.state.nh.us)
Normandeau estimated that the moose population in the state is 4,500 at this point, which is considered a low number.
Using helicopters and net-guns, the wildlife biologists capture and radio-collar cow and calf moose, and then use GPS technology to track their movements.
Ted Walski, a Fish and Game biologist, recently told the Keene Sentinel that sightings are down 20 to 30 percent in recent years.
They are hunted in October for nine days through a state lottery that this year granted permits to 275 people from a pool of 13,000 applicants.
"It's completely gone," he said. "And other areas are experiencing similar declines while other areas are doing well. We're trying to figure out what is going on, and if there are things we can do, long-term, to ensure we have moose in the future."
In other action, the council voted to:
• Confirm Perry Plummer to continue as director of Homeland Security and Emergency Management, after applauding his recent response to flooding in various parts of the state.

text: So far whenever I have had a successful kill of Princes, we just do not DPS at all when Keleseth has the orb. What I've found is if we let DPS attack, the ranged tank is unable to really hold aggro on him, so we just ignore damaging him at all. To my knowledge there is no enrage timer so we have our DPS focus on getting rid of any stray Kinetic Bombs and getting into position for an orb switch, and leave Kelseth alone.

The ring looks very much like the picture and much more expensive than the price. The gold is a nice, clean sivler color, the band is a nice thickness, and the diamonds are very sparkly. FYI- the diamonds do not go all the way around the band.
Ring look beautiful, everything professional done, diamonds look perfect:)
do not let the quality markers keep you from buying this ring it sparkles like the sun. It is simply two words BREATH TAKING!!!!. you will not be disappointed in this ring. It was an amazing engagement ring :-)
This is a nice ring, as it appears on the web site. I looked at the same or very similar rings at a number of places, none of which could come close the prices here. Overstock is a reputable seller and I'm quite happy with what I got. If you want a nice wedding ring that your sweetheart can wear with anything that looks good and is simple but not cheap-looking I think this is a fine choice.
I like this ring and would recomend it for purchase
I am very pleased with the ring that I purchased. I would recommend anyone thinking about buying a diamond ring to go ahead and make the purchase. The certified diamonds are great and I've had three rings that I have bought and all of them have been appraised over the value that I paid.
My husband bought this ring for our anniversary. The ring is lovely and the diamonds are very sparkly. I was amazed at the quality of the band - it is very thick. I'm sure it will last a lifetime and more.

play whatever you like more because if you choose pally because the "best" tank vary from patch to patch; ctc will probably be nerf soon and so on.
As others have said, choose the tank class you prefer playing. I have tried all of them save the Death Knight (outside of 5-mans, at least), and I enjoy all of them, but I only play my Warrior these days.
ಠ ,ಠ
Dovie'andi se tovya sagain - it's time to roll the dice
I think pallys are getting too much credit/a bad rap. I understand that in later content that they are considered the better of the tanks, but as it has been said in a blue post Druid tanks are the best passively good tank there is because of armor and dodge. Yes they cant cap out and be unhittable at the moment but all tanks will reach that point which is why i believe they wouldn't release another tier. We can all agree that a sword and board tank is going to have better avoidance/mitigation the thing is at what expense. Right now in all 378 gear I still have to use 2 mastery trinkets to ctc cap and that is chopping about 10k off my hp. Im not saying thats a huge deal but I consider myself pretty geared so up coming pally tanks cant just cap right away and be the "best" tank. We all have to min max our gear for the performance we want and personally I think there is no one stand out tank that beats all. Pallys do seem to have a one up after a bit of struggle and math with their toon and proper professions but you have to do a lot of work first. Its not just bam im amazing.
All that being said as well a known fact that DKs take massive spike dmg especially if they aren't good at their ds rotations. Also in a blue post. So if i was going to look for anything it would be a rotation change in druids and a buff to DKs. I think they have pallys working exactly how they want to and only have interest in making their rotation more dynamic.
As everyone else said go with what you like but ill add stay away from Dks for a while LOL ;P
Goku, you are twisting the current situation. When your stuck between 2-3 great mastery trinkets and 1 bad stam there is not really much choice, so there would not be an "expense" to it.
All of that being said I think you missed my point. I was just saying that it takes effort to cap and its not something that you can just be good at immediately. I was just speaking on the behalf that pallys are too over powered and easy to play.
SoE actually has a bug on Baleroc. Apparently it gets all screwy if you use it to absorb a DecBlade and kills you.
I am using the Scales of Life and swapping between Essence of Eternal flame and the baradin trinket depending on the boss. I use Heart of rage (reforged to mastery) and the Essence at majordomo and Alysrazor heroic (block cap with 22 expertise and 3% hit is fun, especially when the extra strength lines up and you crit for nearly 40k with CS or 100k with ShoR).
Plus I am trying to bleed off mastery, so using two mastery trinkets does not come into question (I reforged my tier helm's expertise to mastery instead of reforging the parry and am at 102.7ish)
I dislike the Vial because it has that no movement requirement. It may be great for Baleroc and Beth'tilac, but on Shannox, Rhyolith, Alysrazor, Majordomo and Rag I can't guarantee that I will be in the same position for 20 seconds (I am very sure I won't be on Shannox, Alysrazor, Majordomo and Rag) so the dodge rating would not be active on me. Then I might as well have Scales of Life, which is a healthstone every 60 seconds.

Totally agree, I'm sitting at about 101.7 with scales on right now and with buffs that basically caps me so i rotated Scales and Essence with occasional use of the SoE, I haven't tried using another dps trink for HAly Ill give it a shot this week. I like the idea. I haven't actually farmed the Baradin trink shame on me I know, but will agree its a very useful tool. Basiclly I can hit about 101.7 102.5 and 103.5 depending on my trink. I am as well looking to purge some mastery but not having tier shoulders or helm of blazing is making that transition rough. My parry and dodge stay around 15% this way too.

Moonwell is bad, "if" clause is laughable. It does shit all on both stand still fights we have.
Essense is situational, where its good - its good. Not a clue how you think you'd empirically "notice" the value of 350 parry rating, but ok.
Stay of exec is a gimped version of TB. Perhaps take some time to grind out the TB trinket before posting judgements on the "expense" of mastery trinkets, its only the single best piece of tanking gear in this expenasion after all.
Pyrea, bleed your mastery into gems and flask. Trinkets aren't meant for this.
Not sure what you mean by both standstill fights unless you tank top for Beth (I guess you don't move a lot for Domo) but again the points that you are forced to stand still for 20 seconds if you want the buff. Bale is the only true stand still fight in the instance.
For a prot pally that most likely has DP glyphed we don't need the TB trink on top of having the spindle. The use of stay was simply to balance in some dodge I don't use it at all anymore. Also 350 parry is roughly 1.5% parry over 15% so if you used WoL you could easily look and see if there's a difference. Also in the case of reforging the trinket there's more mastery = more dodge or what ever stat you chose. I think your being a bit over the top with your comment its obvious that you can't just notice 1% parry.
I think the point here is a lot of the trinkets out right now are very situational. One could easily argue that the TB is garbage on most fights other than Bale or other fights you take massive spell damage on. Again every tank knows not getting hit is better than mitigating a hit any day. Also saying that you should use flasks for mastery is the same as using trinkets for mastery and using guild flasks for stam. We are talking 1k hp loss at best which isn't going to make or break any fight.
Again to stick with the theme its all a preference in the end and choose which ever tanking class you want because there is 100 different ways to do everything.
Last edited by kopcap; 09-19-2011 at 09:22 PM.
The use from the TB trink is resist which only negates magic aka why I said that one COULD argue, not that it is a fact. If you are ctc cap you are all ready smoothing as much physical dmg income as you can so you would focus on avoidance and if you have DP glyphed you take 40% less magic while its up anyway. You clearly cant comprehend very well and I'm not going to bicker with you any further. This is a thread about picking a tank class not a pally thread.
So again Ill end with pick what ever tank you want. Cause as we can see theres 100 ways to do it.
The only point your making is you don't care about getting the full potential from your class.
After CTC you don't focus on aviodance. You focus on magic dmg. This means picking the right trinkets and stacking stamina.
After full CTC you reforge mastery to avoidance and gem stamina instead of mastery.
Comic San just to mess with everyone.........
The best tank class for YOU is the one that you understand best and are the most confident playing.
Honestly, that's the best advice I can give to you. If you try Dk and it just feels wrong to you, don't screw around and force yourself to play it as you'll hate playing it every second, and it'll hold you back from doing the best you can. All tanks have encounters that they are better suited for, but all can run the content in some way, shape, or form.
Take my buddy Nate for example. Awesome pally tank. Just a rockstar and able to do some insane stuff. Put him behind the wheel of his DK and suddenly, it's a new ballgame. I've had people ask if he's new to WoW when playing his DK. lol Me, I can get with my Dk and be fine right out the gate. Warrior, I have to warm up a little to get in the flow of it. Druid, though I enjoy it, it always feels a bit "weird" to me. Pally, I can rock just fine, but again, it ends up feeling odd to me and I'll make mistakes while pally tanking that I NEVER make with my DK or warrior.
So, my suggestion to you.....
Try each. See which feels the most intuitive to you. Give them a real go and see which one you have fun playing and really have a good feel for. Run with friends and ask them after about 1-2 weeks which one THEY think you do a great job on. Hit up your healer and ask them which one THEY think you do best on.
No one tanks in a void.........
What he said.....
Unless you're a DK or druid.
DK..... most recommend reforging to mastery and gemming for mastery/stam. My experience.... depends on your goal. As a DK, I aim for flying with balance, and try to tailor myself to a fight with trinkets. There's a point though honestly, where chasing avoidance is kinda pointless. There's right now an EXCELLENT write up from Riggnaros on EJ concerning playing a DK at the moment.
It's probably one of the most complete discussions regarding DK tanking that I've read (aside from Satorri). That post from Riggnaros has me re-evaluating what I do as a DK and going back to the drawing board to push the envelope again and improve myself.
Druids..... All I can say is stam, agiliy, mastery, dodge! Bears benefit greatly from extra stam. Just how they're made. Bears also get good benefit from mastery and dodge. If you equip a parry trink.... just slap yourself. I run my druid in a "hybrid" kitteh/bear kind of spec, just to be clear though. Works well enough for 5 mans, but I'd reconsider the build for raiding.

Ew, Stamina.
Well you want a certain amount of stamina to survive those tripple hits + magical burst occuring every so often. But i'd gear/gem for mass agility and swap trinkets/flasks (stamina and agility ones) accordingly to the boss fight, easily adding a 25k buffer when it's really needed without messing with your regular play.

Most definately take signet of winter over it: Item Comparison Tool - World of Warcraft
However, what is your other ring, because those 2 paired is possibly one of the best pairs you can get
Hey all.
Just got in a debate about this in guild chat and wanted to see what you all thought.
Signet of Winter - Item - World of Warcraft
Platinum Band of the Aesir - Item - World of Warcraft
Now, I am insanely over the expertise soft cap, so it is my belief that stat carries a little less weight now.
My explanation to my guild was that I knew that the Parry was a wasted stat, but I was picking up additional threat stats, armor, and dodge.
The counter to that was that Defense gives mitigation to all stats...
So, what do you all think? I mean, according to RAWR, WoWhead, and EJ, Signet of Winter is clearly the better choice.
What is your reasoning behind picking one or another?
Thanks and I look forward to hearing what you all think!
Most definately take signet of winter over it: Item Comparison Tool - World of Warcraft
However, what is your other ring, because those 2 paired is possibly one of the best pairs you can get
Your ad could be here.
Probably for an EH set do Levi & Signet, and keep Platinum band for a threat oriented set
Your ad could be here.
Keep in mind that your TPS gain from 1 expertise point is the same if you were at 30 or 50 (your percentage gain starts to go down, but that's true of any stat you stack).
Also, you gain dodge with the Signet, but the pre-DR avoidance numbers have the Platinum band giving more avoidance overall (2.04% vs. 1.78% using A list of useful Tanking Formulas for Warriors - Dodge, Parry, Block).
Even if we call those avoidance and threat numbers a wash, Signet only wins out in physical effective health (I think quite handily though).
Definitely keep both, but if it were me, I'd wear the Platinum band much more often.
I think you missed something crucial Muffin -- I am Feral Druid and not a Warrior tank
I guess that little forum topic image is not enough! Should have stated that I was a Feral Druid in the OP.

Wolf: Lieder nach Heine und Lenau
CDH55389 Helios (Hyperion's budget label)
No 1: Sie haben heut' Abend Gesellschaft
No 2: Ich stand in dunkeln Träumen
No 3: Das ist ein Brausen und Heulen
No 4: Aus meinen grossen Schmerzen
No 5: Mir träumte von einem Königskind
No 6: Mein Liebchen, wir sassen beisammen
No 7: Es blasen die blauen Husaren
By the summer of 1878, although the influence of Schumann was still strong, it was much more integrated. So much so that of the eight Heine songs he composed in May and June, Wolf collected seven into a Schumannesque little cycle titled Liederstrauss. The parallels with Dichterliebe are obvious, although now Wolf takes care to avoid any texts already set by Schumann. (Ich stand in dunkeln Träumen had of course been set by Schubert as Ihr Bild, and Mein Liebchen, wir sassen beisammen would be set by Brahms seven years later as Meerfahrt.)
Sie haben heut' Abend Gesellschaft is that staple Heine situation, the rejected lover denied access to the revels at which his beloved is making merry. With echoes also of Schumann's Andersen song Der Spielmann, the lover's disgust is apparent in the distorted rhythms of the accompanying Ländler, which whips itself into a bacchic frenzy at the end. The most imaginative part of Ich stand in dunkeln Träumen is the piano prelude: dreamily it weaves a handful of chromatic fragments until the singer enters, when they coalesce into the main melody of the song. In Das ist ein Brausen und Heulen, Wolf takes the words literally: the piano itself roars and howls in a tremolando of alternating hands, a device (borrowed from Schumann) that Wolf would later put to good effect in songs like the Mörike Begegnung. Aus meinen grossen Schmerzen, too, is a perfect piano miniature, with tiny wings fluttering throughout the pairs of right-hand semiquavers. In the voice part there is a nice twist in the sharpened note on 'Lieder' at the end of the second line, and a Heine-esque resignation in the final cadence 'Was sie im Herzen schauten'. Mir träumte von einem Königskind is an exercise in a sublimated folksong style (the 6/8 metre fitting the ballad mode perfectly), while Mein Liebchen, wir sassen beisammen again puts the imagery into the piano part, with its rocking bass and rippling right-hand demisemiquavers. The last song in this little cycle is an early example of one of Wolf's favourite genres, the military miniature. With its bright little bugle calls adding spice to the veiled sarcasm of Heine's text, Es blasen die blauen Husaren looks forward to songs like Sie blasen zum Abmarsch (Spanisches Liederbuch) and Ihr jungen Leute (Italienisches Liederbuch).

Darci Marchese,
BETHESDA, Md. - Imagine showing up for work each day with this daunting task: Trying to save the life of a hero.
That's what surgeons, physicians, nurses and emergency room staff have been doing for more than a decade in treating the nation's war-wounded in the Afghanistan and Iraq wars.
Capt. Philip Perdue, chief of surgery at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center, has been stationed in Bethesda since 1997. He has seen his fair share of catastrophic wounds.
"They have terrible wounds that no one should have to see," he says. "It's challenging to have to take care of these guys."
Perdue says it was difficult during the height of the wars, when staff treated wound after wound.
"Certainly during those very busy times it's very easy to just become overwhelmed with the gravity," he says.
Perdue says Walter Reed tries to move staff around to shield them from being over- exposed to trauma. Even still, burnout is a real concern.
He says he's found himself thinking "that could easily be my son, it could easily be my daughter," in quiet times after the surgery is completed.
There are ways to cope
"These guys are heroes, so we kind of say we get to care for heroes every day," Perdue says.
He says however the biggest reward is seeing the young warriors survive and get on with their lives.
"You see the amputees walking around on their prosthetic limbs. You see the families reunited. You see life going on for these guys," Perdue says.
Perdue is rewarded to see the growing ability to save more lives today.
Perdue says there's been a shift in treating catastrophic, war-wounds.
Instead of creating full-blown hospitals in the theater of war, which occurred during the Gulf War, the goal now is evacuate the wounded back to the states as quickly as possible.
Part of that care is what's best described as "ICU units in the sky." Planes are outfitted with "flying hospitals" where the chain of care is never broken. Perdue says that alone is responsible for saving many more lives.
He says another medical trend leaves wounds open until the patient arrives in the U.S. That has cut down dramatically on deadly infections.
Purdue says remarkably, patients arrive at Walter Reed in just three to five days after being injured -- and typically -- their families are there, waiting for them.

Financial exploitation is a fast-growing form of abuse for seniors and adults with disabilities. Situations of financial exploitation commonly involve someone the person trusts:
Adult Protective Service (APS) programs report that the number and complexity of reports involving financial abuse of vulnerable and older adults has grown significantly over the past decade. Recent research has found that elder financial exploitation is widespread, expensive, even deadly.
Financial exploitation takes many forms. While the vast majority of reports to APS involve someone who is related to or in a trusting relationship with the victim, scams and fraud by strangers are also very common.
