Rated 5 out of 5 by Bab4 Great Location Great Location for food, shopping, tourism. Clean and Comfortable Rooms. Good food within hotel. August 11, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by TravelerGS Best Hotel in Downtown Denver I have been staying at this Hotel for a number of years, I am always welcomed as a return guest. I always get the same room that I request. This is a large Hotel, and it may take a few moments to get checked in, Room service may take a short time as well. Rooms in the Tower Building are small, except for the suites. If you need more space, ask for rooms in the Plaza Building. It may take a moment for you to get to the Tower Building, but you will get the hang of it. Parking can be expensive, I would suggest taking the RTD Sky Ride from DIA, and then the Free 16th Street Mall Shuttle. The Hotel is well situated on the 16th Street Mall, and many fine restaurants, and shopping can be found within walking distance or the Free 16th Street Mall Shuttle. You will be glad that you choose this Hotel to explore downtown Denver. August 3, 2014
Rated 3 out of 5 by RonaldM RonaldM I was very disappointed that on the day of check-in my room wasn't ready until 8:00 pm even though I had made the reservation two months in advance. No explaination on why, not a sincere apology and no offer to compensate me for my inconvenience. I had to make other arrangements for the 5 hours I had to wait for my room. August 7, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by jane82 single & dining The restaurant staff was extremely nice making my dining experience very comfortable for a single woman traveler. Several of them would stop by and make small conversations with me. It was the most comfortable single dining I have had. Thank you. August 8, 2014
Rated 3 out of 5 by May81 This hotel has a great some great club staffs I felt very included the first day I was there. Second day I didn't feel as included. It was an experience to stay in Sheraton Denver. Definitely was an experience. The housekeeping staffs always stop to say Hi!! I definitely felt included around the hotels. The front desk I was nervous because I didn't know if I was in the wrong lane. I wasn't sure where it really started. Got snapped at for standing in the platinum/gold lane. It was scary just to go talk to front desk. May 12, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by OccassionalTraveler Overall Great Hotel Great hotel, in good location. Can walk to lots of events, restaurants, and other local spots easily. Can also get lost pretty easily in this hotel as it is two bldgs, with elevators everywhere going to different places. May want to write down where you park to make it easier. Would prefer that the 2 in gap on the bottom of the rooms be dealt with. Its amazing how much noise filters in though them in the middle of the night. Front Desk personnel were really great. Gave tips on moving around the city, places to eat, tips to make the stay better. Moved a lot of people through checkin quickly, but still felt like they took the time to speak with each person and answer questions. Sorry we only stayed here for one night, but it was great, and we will be back for more on future trips. July 29, 2014
Rated 1 out of 5 by Art14 This hotel only cares about the bottom line. We had multiple issues with this stay and I waited on writing the review until I contacted the hotel about the issues. They demonstrated that they are only interested in the 'bottom line" which would be the almighty dollar and not guest satisfaction. Very disappointing! This lack of concern, coupled with the size of the room, and other problems, is why I would not recommend this hotel! August 4, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by SAnderson30 Excellent Staff, Great Amenities and Prime location This hotel is quite large, so I did get lost several times. However, the staff was more than helpful with helping me find my way every time. I arrived at 5am the day after my anticipated arrival sue to 26 hours of flying nightmares due to airline issues, weather, etc. I was so exhausted when arriving and the staff was more than accommodating. They upgraded my room to a suite and gave me an encouraging smile that my nightmare of a trip was going to get so much better staying at The Sheraton. I highly recommend this hotel to anyone coming to Denver. It is right in the heart of Downtown Denver, with dining, shopping and entertainment in walking distance. June 23, 2014
Rated 1 out of 5 by kao58 Wouldn't go back Was very disappointed in this hotel. For starters I tried to change the dates of our stay and there was a whole nights fee for doing so. The room was small and stuffy. The bed was not comfortable - pillows were too soft - I asked for better ones. They forgot to bring them so had to call again. Still did not sleep well as there was no ventilation in the room. No fan in the bathroom. No refrigerator. Had to pay for wi-fi and parking. Terrible view of the building across the street. And the pool was not open. Bummer. I would not go back. April 28, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by badger5 great location for our purposes of sporting events, concerts, & theme parks works perfect hotel very accessible to eating August 8, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Marbear62 This hotel has a great location for downtown Denver We enjoyed our stay at the hotel very much. The location was also wonderful. It was perfect because you did not need a car to get around the 16th street mall with the free mall bus. The mall had everything. The hotel staff also was helpful in arranging transportation when needed. The gym was also very large with numerous exercise equipment. May 29, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by James150 Not quite ready for SPG Gold Checked in, was given a normal room. Went to the room, no water. Went to the desk and someone went into the back room after telling me that there should have been two bottles of complimentary water in my room and then gave me a single bottle. As I chose the green option (which btw, the coupon was delivered the morning of my departure) no one ever came to bring any more water. The room was very cold and even leaving the thermostat on 75 it never got above 72 in the room. The staff were OK, but do not really make you feel that you should be there. July 23, 2014
Rated 3 out of 5 by HUDDIE58 Hotel's Technology NOT up to date Much about this hotel failed to meet expectations. Most obvious was the extremely slow internet/wireless speeds. More often than not, the internet was slow as molasses; often it dropped connections. This made it impossible to work on-line and caused for an overall frustrating hotel experience. Additionally, my room lacked a refrigerator and I was charged $2.00 for each call using a 1-800 number. Come on, a hotel like the Denver Sheraton should be able to provide a refrigerator in each room and shouldn't have to "nickel and dime" clientele. For individuals attending meetings or conferences at the Denver Sheraton, plan on arriving early to find meetings locations: the signage is completely inadequate for such a massive hotel. Finally, I would note that the bridge connecting the tower and main buildings is not accessible. While there is an accessible way to get to each building, it's a long way made difficult by the lack of adequate signage. August 4, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Kirt2014 Hotel stay Staff was very professional and helpful during my stay in Downtown Denver. June 13, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Dietz13 Very clean rooms This hotel was kept up very nice and very clean. The rooms were spotless and had a great view of downtown Denver. My wife loved the soft, comfortable pillows! August 7, 2014
Rated 2 out of 5 by kellyac A disappointment I expected more from the hotel before I arrived. The only upside to my stay was the complimentary water that was in my room. While it appeared my bed and the room itself was cleaned, the bathroom was nowhere near clean. There was a used towl draped over the shower curtain, trash on the floor around the commode. I was annoyed that a room would be given to someone that was not cleaned as it should be. August 1, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by SamDan Very comfortable place to stay We did a package deal to see the Maya exhibit at the Denver Nature and Science Museum. The staff was informative. Emailed us when the room was ready. Food and drink were good. Like the location on the 16thSt mall. We will stay there again August 4, 2014
Rated 1 out of 5 by KarenColoSpgs Very Disappointing! When we when to register for our room we were told that the room we reserved wasn't available and that we would be getting a better room--free upgrade. we were to have two queen beds but this room had one bed and it was small. Plus there wasn't a fridge in the room. August 4, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Montey2005 Great location The only complaint is that the internet is slow and although they up-charge for faster speeds it's still slow. June 6, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by Lenisa730 Great experience, cleaning staff needs work Overall I had a wonderful experience. I did have one problem with the cleaning staff leaving our door open after they cleaned. We were gone for most of the day and coming back to an open hotel room with all our valuables exposed wasn't the best feeling. August 4, 2014
Rated 1 out of 5 by denverbad1234 Complete Disaster Did not get the room we reserved yet were still charged the higher rate. Had to wait 30 minutes at check in desk( while at least 15 other people were checked in behind us) to be helped by a rude person Was told that they would take care of our parking, did not happen was told we would have club access did not happen pre-paid for breakfast with our reservation and then did not get it had to wait almost an hour for valet to get our car our room was dirty and had trash in cans and on floor when we got there December 16, 2013
Rated 3 out of 5 by Chika lower than previous experiences I have stayed at this hotel MANY times in the past but this visit was less than desireable. starting with my check in process where I was put in a king room with on eof my trainees after I'd spent almost an hour trying to check in. then they asked my trainee to move to a double room in order to accommodate a 2nd trainee. the process was less than desireable and leaves me to wonder how difficult it really is to book 2 rooms, one as a king, the other one a a double July 28, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by JazzDad47 Great stay This is the best location in downtown next to many historic sites and on the 16th Street mall. Add a great hotel and staff to that and you have a winner. August 5, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by travel242 Exemplary Service & Great Amenities I've had the fortunate opportunity of spending a few nights here recently. The exemplary service that I received during my recent stay cannot be overstated. The attention to detail from every team member from check in to check out was extraordinary; very much aligned with SPG standards. The rooms are spacious, furnished well, immaculately clean and functionally set up to make you feel at home. The plush, comfortable bedding is like none other. The amenities, large gym with state-of-the-art equipment, pool, club lounge, and amazing mountain view from my room made my stay perfect. Being overly impressed with the overall customer care, staff professionalism, immaculately clean premises, and hotel amenities; I will lodge here on future travel and have already recommended hotel to my family and business associates. Many thanks to the hotel management & team for a great stay! July 30, 2014
Rated 3 out of 5 by Wrigley62 Wish I could have had a hot shower A nice facility in the heart of downtown Denver. Nice conference facilities (I was there specifically for a conference). Lots of restaurants and entertainment/shopping nearby. The property is nice -- a little age on it but nicely kept up. I simply have to say, not having a hot shower -- heck I'd have even taken a sorta warm shower -- for three days really made me downgrade my rating here. I always had hot water at the sink - never in the shower. That's just not the best way to start your day. February 7, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by Gerriemax Great conference facility. My stay at the Denver, Downtown Sheraton was just a delight. Only glitch was getting out of the parking garage when my conference was done. Way to long a wait. August 4, 2014
Rated 1 out of 5 by NewYorker This hotel is terrible The service is ridiculously bad, seems like the staff has a very low morale and a result, they are nasty and curt. Also, I've stayed in hostels with more amenities than what they provide at the high price of a luxury hotel! The views of the mountain is a LIE. Our window overlooked a brown building up to the sky. The pool featured on the website is a LIE. There's no free wifi or continental breakfast like all hotels in the nation provide. I recommend staying away from this place if you can. May 20, 2013
Rated 1 out of 5 by Disappointed Very Disappointed! The only good thing about the Sheraton Downtown Denver is the premium location. Our room smelled bad, was not clean, had just one bath towel. I am a preferred member and have stayed in many other Sheraton hotels... this is not up to Sheraton standards. I went to front desk and talked to the manager who changed me to another room but not the same type of room I had requested. When I pointed it out to the person who answered the phone to guest service she could care less about my needs. February 8, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by DenverVisit Grerat Location for 16th Street Mall This is a great location on the 16th Street Mall, and within walking distance to the State Capital and Art Museums May 29, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by GaryD1953 Loved this Hote! Would come back again....great location to everything in Denver! August 4, 2014

In nonlinear optics, Dr. Lawson's research interests are directed toward the development and characterization of nonlinear optical (NLO) materials for optical switching and power limiting applications using wavelength tunable Z-scan, degenerate four wave mixing (DFWM), power limiting spectroscopy, and flash photolysis. The focus of this work is to study the relationship between excited state absorption, linear absorption and molecular structure in metal organics using computational modeling supported by a full suite of experimental measurements. His group has demonstrated that unsymmetrical phosphine-substituted bithiophenes exhibit the highest solubility and best blue sensor protection of any material that has been studied in the literature to date. As part of this research, his group has recently developed methods for functionalizing unsymmetrical phosphine-substituted bithiophenes, that will allow it to be incorporated into polymer films and attached to nanoparticles.
In addition, Dr. Lawson is also currently investigating a new class of symmetric and asymmetric oligothiophenes for blue organic light emitting diodes (LED's) that might be used in flat panel displays. These compounds exhibit strong fluorescence, and can be attached to polymers for use in applications needing thin films. The UAB Research Foundation has submitted a provisional patent application to the US Patent office for this work.

MAY, 2010 Countries in Latin America are expected to invest $450 billion USD in infrastructure assets between the years 2011 and 2015. These long-life assets are usually characterized by high development costs (design and construction) but low marginal costs of production and little to no competition once in operation. While the bulk of the investment is expected to be allocated to the surface transport and energy sectors, the water/sanitation and ports/logistics sectors are expected to see substantial increases in the current levels of investment. All across the region, the public sector is often affected by budgetary constraints and lacks efficiency when it comes to building and operating infrastructure assets. That is why, with th....

Cheesecake Flan
Savoring the contrast between this incredibly rich baked custard and its slightly burnt-tasting caramel sauce is a delicious experience.
Yield: 1 (9") flan
More From Oxmoor House
- 3/4 cup sugar
- 4 large eggs
- 3 slices white bread, crusts removed
- 1 (14-ounce) can sweetened condensed milk
- 1 (8-ounce) carton mascarpone cheese (1 cup)
- 1 cup evaporated milk
- 2/3 cup water
- 3 tablespoons butter or margarine, melted
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Sprinkle sugar in a heavy skillet. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly with a wooden spoon, until sugar melts and turns light brown. Remove from heat. Quickly pour hot caramel into a 9" round cakepan, tilting to coat bottom; set pan aside. (Caramel syrup will harden and crack.)
- Combine eggs and remaining 7 ingredients in a large food processor or blender. Process just until smooth, stopping once to scrape down sides. Pour custard mixture over syrup in cakepan. Place cakepan in a large shallow pan. Cover cakepan with aluminum foil. Add hot water to shallow pan to depth of 1". Bake at 350° for 50 to 55 minutes or until knife inserted off center comes out clean. (Center should still be slightly liquid; flan will finish cooking as it cools.)
- Remove cakepan from water bath; cool flan completely on a wire rack. Cover and chill several hours or overnight. Loosen edges of flan with a spatula, and invert flan onto a rimmed serving plate, letting caramel sauce drizzle over the top.
- Note: We found that a large food processor worked best for blending this flan. Otherwise we recommend using a blender.

13.09.06 - Unbeaten super-featherweight star Kevin Mitchell returns to action on Saturday 28th October at the York Hall when he defends his IBF Intercontinental Super-Featherweight title. The 23-year-old took his record to 21-0 last Saturday at the Grosvenor House Hotel last Friday night on the big DebRA charity show stopping the previously undefeated Andrey Isaev in the eleventh round..
Luton's Graham Earl headlines the show when he challenges for the Vacant WBU World Lightweight Championship.
Mitchell said, "It's great to be back in the ring again so soon after my last fight. I just want to keep active and fight as much as I can and keep improving with each fight."
"Isaev was a tough kid but I broke him down and got to him in the end to take his unbeaten record,"
"I'm looking forward to returning to the East End on October 28 and getting a good crowd at the York Hall."
The bill will also feature English Welterweight Champion Ross Minter in an eight round contest.
Portsmouth's former WBU World Light-Heavyweight Champion Tony Oakey, Dagenham lightweight Dean Smith, West Ham heavyweight Paul Souter, Wanstead welterweight Grant Skehill and the professional debut of Crawley featherweight Robin Deakin complete the show.
Tickets for Destroyers, priced at £40, £50, £60 are available from the Sports Network Box Office on 01992 550 888.

Twenty-seven GOP Congressional Candidates Refuse to Sign Anti-Tax Pledge
At least 27 Republican candidates promoted by the National Republican Congressional Committee have refused to sign the anti-tax pledge circulated by Americans for Tax Reform and its President, Grover Norquist, according to the Washington Post.
Well, I guess Grover doesn't have all the power. So that's a plus, I suppose.
Props to those who refuse to sign, though. Hopefully this becomes a trend.

Fingers are crossed!!
Thanks Guys for your prayers and thoughts as we have been going through this with my son Hunter.

And they cant find anything "wrong" This is the sum of the whole. Hunter is fine, normal, and without any of the things they know to cause problems like this. Thank God! There is no further testing scheduled. and have been no further seizure's or complications!

The Adventures of Tom Sawyer (Vintage Classics)by Mark Twain
Synopses & Reviews
Publisher Comments:
Mark Twain was one of the nineteenth century's greatest chroniclers of childhood, and of all his works his beloved novel The Adventures of Tom Sawyer most enchantingly and timelessly captures the sheer pleasure of being a boy.
Tom Sawyer is as clever, imaginative, and resourceful as he is reckless and mischievous, whether conning his friends into painting a fence, playing pirates with his pal Huck Finn, witnessing his own funeral, or helping to catch a murderer. Twain's novel glows with nostalgia for the Mississippi River towns of his youth and sparkles with his famous humor, but it is also woven throughout with a subtle awareness of the injustices and complexities of the old South that Twain so memorably portrays.
About the Author
Mark Twain was the pen name of Samuel Langhorne Clemens, who was born in Missouri in 1835 and died in Connecticut in 1910. He worked as a Mississippi riverboat pilot, a journalist, and a travel writer before achieving tremendous popularity as a humorist and novelist.

Wow. my fridge was disgusting... But!, it's clean and practically empty. So nice. Vacuumed a lot underneath and tried to clean the coils as best I could. I hope it helps it run better. (It's decades old - but does the job. I rent)
I have this one really clean corner amongst the horror and it's great because now I'm really motivated to spread the airy, sunshine-y clean through out the whole room. Hey. I may be a usable kitchen soon! Yay!
My pictures are posted (as Ohm/Marie), I've cleaned the surface of the kitchen and a few cabinets. So far, the biggest casualty of my purging is dried fruit--I had almost-full containers of raisins, dried currants, dried mixed fruit, and a few more. The currants were used once, in a mixed nut appetizer recipe I made to bring to the in-laws' at Christmas 2006.
Time to stop buying dried fruit!
I'm cooking something from the freezer tonight--frozen tortellini and frozen veggies. Not much had to be thrown out, but some of it was getting close.
I'm thinking of rearranging the shelves in my frig. Right now the lowest one (right over the veggie drawers) is really short, so stuff gets lost back there. I'm thinking of making the bottom shelf the tallest, and the upper ones shorter. Maybe the bottles won't fall over as much either!
I decided to go ahead and rearrange the shelves. Before and after pictures up on Flickr.
Ok, I finally made a Flickr page http://www.flickr.com/photos/25016255@N05/
I don't know how to write that in just as a link? Anyway, my name there is msbreez. I got a late start on throwing out the old stuff, but did that tonight along with moving things around. Testing placement to see if I might like a different placement. This is going to be great! Now, to refinish those cupboards!
I confess I have not even started on this. Tonight is the Fresh Direct delivery, and that usually inspires some quick tossing. Maybe I've got it in me to go for the full purge!
Anybody else have little kid(s)? My battery is pretty drained right now but I signed up for the Cure anyway because having an unacceptable kitchen until my toddler leaves for college is, well, unacceptable! I cook a LOT, too. If anybody has tips for finding reserves of energy to tackle household tasks around 9 p.m., I'm all ears.
Like cmcinnyc, I haven't really started yet. I caught up on dishes today, took before pictures (not yet uploaded), and I did a quick fridge clean out, but it needs a more thorough cleaning. I have some free time this week, but I just got a new (to me) sewing machine (a vintage Singer from the 1930's), and I've been playing with that all week. So much fun! This weekend should be productive though, I have a paper to do and that always leads to lots of cleaning while I procrastinate!
Seriously though, I have been thinking a lot about what my goals are. I will probably disappear for most of the section on cooking, as I'm happy with my current cooking skills/habits and that section will be right in the middle of exams/final papers. Mostly I just want to clear out the old cans, organize a few cupboards, and make sure everything is in pretty good order for when we move in a few months. We still have cans that we bought two apartments ago. They will not be coming along to a fourth apartment!

Gil-Lachel's Torrent
Your consciousness momentarily fills with a fire and passion as you tear forward like an explosion.
Gil-Lachel's Torrent
Transmutation [Fire]
Level: Sor/Wiz 4
Components: V, S
Casting Time: 1 standard action
Range: 60ft.
Area: 60-ft. line
Duration: Instantaneous
Saving Throw: Reflex half
Spell Resistance: Yes
Gil-Lachel, the legendary elven fire sorceror, once spent several weeks communing with creatures from the Plane of Fire in an attempt to learn their secrets. The incredible strain this put on his mind made him insane for almost a month afterward, but sparked the invention of one of his most impressive spells.
The caster of this spell momentarily transforms into an incredible creature of pure flame, shooting relentlessly forward in the direction desired out to the full range of the spell (60ft) before reverting to their original form. All creatures within the caster's path take 1d6 fire damage per caster level (reflex half), to a maximum of 10d6 damage. Flammables (such as paper) in the area of effect are set alight, as with a Fireball spell.
The caster moves instantaneously, provoking no attacks of opportunity for doing so, and takes no damage from any fire sources he moves through. The spell allows him to move freely through semi-solid or easily flammable barriers (such as a porticullis or curtain), but the caster must attempt a strength check in order to break down solid doors and the like. If he would be unable to return to his normal form when the spell ends (such as being inside a space too small for him to fit), he re-forms in the nearest suitable space.

Harry laughs his ass off over SUPERBAD... and that's a lotta ass
I have to say – I've been totally knocked out by two comedies this year. KNOCKED UP and SUPERBAD. Sure, I saw KNOCKED UP at BUTT-NUMB-A-THON last year, but that was a work in progress – the final film is even funnier. That the same basic creative team is also releasing SUPERBAD the same summer… it's just very damn unlikely that they'd be at all on the same par. Right? Wrong. This summer, you're going to get two Great Comedies. For the purposes of this review, I'm going to talk about SUPERBAD, the one you'll get on August 17th. I went into this screening with little to no hype. When I got the call to set up the Drafthouse screening and I was told the names of the talent coming, I didn't really know who they were talking about. But then, I'm really bad with names. Yoko instantly went Googily over Michael Cera – and the fact he was going to be there. But from watching the trailer… I was excited about one name in particular… Christopher Mintz-Plasse aka McLovin! I don't know why, but from the first trailer, then the Red-Band trailer – this McLovin character just had me in stitches. When the film started up – it just felt right. The whole opening conversation – which goes on forever – seemingly in real-time, with no breaks – between Jonah Hill and Michael Cera… it is absolutely filthy, but filthy in the way that best friends speak. They're not particularly talking about the most important shit in the world, in fact, it could very well be a conversation that they've been having for years with 30% differences – but it feels earnestly spoken. As if it wasn't the work of an actor given words, but of two friends talking on the way to school about the filthy shit they found on the net, the girls they have crushes on, and how life in college is going to be completely different. Not only that, but I found myself so engrossed in the conversation, that I really didn't care about anything that was around them. It was, entirely about them. Which is what they themselves were thinking. Until the reality of the fact that the outside world doesn't see these guys for the funny fucks that they are. The outside world doesn't see them as anything other than a pair of dorks to torment. And it has so consistently been that way, that they don't take it with shock, but with that feeling of acceptance… that is how it is, but with the faith that perhaps it will not always be so. Then we're introduced to the character that is beneath these two, or so we think at first… Fogell (soon to be known as McLovin). If the characters of Seth (Jonah Hill) and Evan (Michael Cera) are geeks… Fogell is the dweeb along for the ride. He's very socially inept – one would gather upon first impressions – but these characters are not lightly drawn. The character dynamic changes, given who is talking with who – and in what group they're functioning in. In other words, it's very much a reality based comedy. Let me see if I can break it down a bit for you. Seth and Evan have been best friends forever. They've gone through the fire of being called "fags" from the alpha crowd, but they've functioned well… They've attempted to make progress in the delicate world of "getting laid" and there is evidence that the fairer sex could possibly be warming to their attempts. In Seth's mind – Evan is his only and best friend. To Seth, Fogell is a leech, that's trying to suck his friend away from him. He's intimidated by Fogell, because Fogell is, in fact, better at school than Seth – and is like Evan in that degree, but what is worse – Fogell is going to the same college as Evan – and he's paranoid that Fogell will replace him, and then he… Seth, will be friendless. In Evan's mind – Seth is his best friend. But the reality is, Seth didn't get good enough grades to get into the same college as Evan. He doesn't like Fogell as much as Seth – and in Evan's heart, he knows that Seth will always be his best friend, but he's terrified of being alone at College and has begun the process of making friends with Fogell because Seth is terrified of being alone. In Fogell's mind – Seth and Evan are cool. Fogell feels Fogell is cool, because he's in the same group with Seth and Evan. Seth makes fun of Fogell, but Fogell knows that's just how Seth is, but he also knows that Evan is a good guy and a good friend. But Fogell believes he can be so much more. He knows he's looked down upon, but Fogell is taking the steps to reinvent himself. Something that he's anxious to do once he is in college, he will soon become McLovin and then the world will be his bitch. Awwww, yeah. Now – because this is a TEEN SEX COMEDY – the overall drive of the film is "Getting Laid." In this film, that is facilitated by the acquisition of alcohol – a substance that Seth and Evan have decided to take on. I.e.… they've told their dream girls, that they'll be bringing the booze to this "almost graduated" party at Jules' house. Who is Jules? Well, she's played by Emma Stone – and she's the object of Jonah Hill's affections. Becca (Martha MacIsaac) is the object of Michael Cera's affections. And McLovin is setting his lasers on the hottie Nicola, played by the uberhot redhead, Aviva. This group of friends are about to set off on a quest, that will lead them on a very interesting path. Especially McLovin. You see, McLovin ends up in the backseat of a police car. Usually the chair of hell for any underage teen who has attempted to purchase alcohol. HOWEVER… The cops driving this car… Bill Hader and Seth Rogan. Well… They're the coolest most irresponsible insane fucking cops ever. They're cops – if geeks could become cops. And they're the sort of geek cops that… well… you'll have to experience for yourself. I've given you a brief, somewhat, look at the key characters in this film. The plot isn't miraculous. However – the comedy and character performances are all 100% perfect. I laughed so hard – but a good portion of that hilarity springs from just how true the material is that is being drawn upon for the comedy. It feels right. Do Seth, Evan and Fogell get laid? Is that really what they wanted? Is there more to it than that? Is this the pivotal night of their lives? Well, for one it is. The director of the film, Greg Mottola has one other film on his filmography and a lot of TV. But if you saw THE DAYTRIPPERS – it indicated a very strong talent for humor – here – combined with the writing of Seth Rogan and Evan Goldberg… and the fantastic casting of all the key parts mentioned – leaves us with a teen comedy that is absolutely hilarious… and better than that, quite a bit true. SUPERBAD is one of the best times you'll have this summer.

So what a damn minute...
by TheGreatPumpkin
There was a screening at the Alamo, it wasn't mentioned here, and I didn't manage to find out about it elsewhere though I live in Austin? Damn, Harry! Look out for the little people, already! Knocked Up at BNAT was beyond funny and I absolutely can't wait to see it again opening weekend (if not before). Superbad's been on the radar for months, so hopefully I don't have to wait much longer. Michael Cera was hi-lar-ious at the AD 3rd season DVD party at the Alamo, so it should be good times...

that I can't wait to see this. In fact, I tried sneaking into this back in January and Sony's hired help, aka The Screening Exchange Nazis, literally heard me utter the name of Sony's PR guy, and because I knew that apparently highly classified information, inferred that I must be a member of the press. They forced me out of line, started saying how they can turn away anyone they want, yada yada, as if I would ever not like a movie with Seth of Judd's name on it. As if I was going to go home and regardless of whether I actually enjoyed the film, write a scathing review that would turn off millions of fanboys and their precious box office dollars. I totally acknowledge lying on the little form they give you, asking whether you write online reviews, but quite frankly, I have never been treated more unfairly at any screening I've ever attended, or tried to attend. There was no evidence of my actual job, literally, just a security guard overhearing me mention a name that anyone would know if they read the trades. And here's the kicker. To make it up to me, they gave me passes to see a free movie. Well because it was X-Mas season, I had literally seen everything at the theater except for one movie... Night at the Museum. So rather that start up positive buzz for Sony, the company Sony hired actually helped out Fox's box office receipts for a truly dreadful film, and cost themselves a great early review in the process, since I have no doubt that I will love Superbad. So I had to stand in the refreshment line, actually chatting with some of the film's stars and their guests, everyone pumped to see Superbad, and then I had to retreat into a CGI-filled abomination. Way to do your job Screening Exchange. Reaction for this one has been stellar across the board. A prominent comedy director told me last week that it was the funniest film he'd seen in the last 5 years, which technically, would include some of his own movies. Two other tidbits. When my brother came out to visit me in LA in January, obviously I wanted to show the kid a good time and give him a little taste of the industry, so we went to the Alpha Dog premiere, courtesy of the nice, warm-hearted folks at Universal. We met Jonah Hill at the afterparty and not only was he gracious enough to chat with us, but we talked for about a half-hour, mostly about Knocked Up since I was still raving about it after seeing it a couple months earlier. Not only is Jonah hilarious onscreen and off, he's a genuinely good guy who hasn't let his success go to his head. This Apatow crowd keeps it real. Number 2, just in cast Herc doesn't mention it tomorrow, Michael Cera's new Web series, Clark and Michael, debuts tomorrow night on CBS Innertube and on clarkandmichael.com. The series is directed by Max Winkler, a really talented 23 year-old kid who just sold a very cool-sounding spec script to Fox Searchlight which Jason Reitman will produce. I'm looking forward to the web series, and I think those of you looking forward to Superbad (and fans of Arrested Development) would do well to check it out and show it some support. Harry, great review, keep 'em coming.

Seth ROGEN is "more funnier" than Seth ROGAN

Other than that, nice review.

Waaaaaaaaa! Didn't get to go to the screening. Waaaaaaaa! Had to see a different FREE movie. Waaaaaaaaaa! You coulda started some positive buzz! Waaaaa! Your diaper's full. And while I hope it makes for a more comfortable seat, I just want to know how the fuck did you make it through the holidays, let alone spring, let alone all those hours of Everquest, let alone a scathing case of loneliness knowing that you'd gotten so close, but yet like the moth that is burned by the flame, had to mention one of your many connections to the magic that is Hollywood and the Sony PR machine, and not see Superbad? I have an idea for next time, shut the fuck up. Who the fuck even are you? What do you do? What part of Harold's inner ass-kissery circle of droogs do you belong to? Are you the group that butters his popcorn? Or the sector that has to think up new ways to tell him that third chin makes him look thin? I'm sorry, I'm jealous, cause I've been wanting to see Night At A Museum for a while myself.

Jesus holy fuck what is wrong with you?
Why is it that every fucking lunar cycle one of the AICNers gets low on their Zoloft and flips out about not getting into some screening somewhere or how they couldn't entertain pals/friends/family by schmoozing?
Here's a tip - it's Harry's turn to write something now. Back out of the goddamn spotlight. Sheesh. It's like a menstrual cycle with you guys. Who's next month? Vern?

Was it just me?
by Allfather Starr
Or did this review consist merely of "A likes B because B likes C. But C likes A because A likes C because he's cool. But even more funnier than that is that B likes C to A his friend B, and then when CBA meets BCA we end up with BA. Baracus!" Pointless.

Oh come on, getting laid in high school wasnt that hard
by s0nicdeathmonkey
Okay, isn't...I don't graduate for another 2 weeks. But seriously, I'm a total geek, anti-social, and not terribly good looking and I managed to consistently have a girlfriend and access to sex for much of high school. I never understood these comedies where people just want to love their V-card. I never slept with a girl in a one night stand scenario (Okay, once with just-a-friend, but that's a bit different) and I certainly wouldn't want to lose my virginity in a one off type thing. It's not some weird moral crusade bullshit. It's just not my preference. Also, it sucks when you're used to getting laid and then suddenly don't, so losing it on a pity fuck the night of graduation or prom or whatever just seems to suck on many levels. But then, no one cares about my sex life except me.

Also, I saw Knocked UP last September
by s0nicdeathmonkey
or October maybe and while I laughed a lot and made 2 friends in the kids I invited to come with me to the film I didn't think much of it. Also, addendum to my previous post: I don't drive. So, I'm a geeky, anti-social, medium looking guy. If I could/can get laid in high school, anyone can. It's a meat market. The hard part is finding someone worth your while. Luckily, I go to a high school that is on a college campus (long story) so when I swore off high school girls, (they're really insipid generally and frigid as a whole) I had alternatives at the CC.

The Trailer For This Movie Looks ......... Pretty Funny
by Red Dawn Don
I saw the trailer at: www.sonypictures.com/previews/index.html There is also a website for the movie called www.areyousuperbad.com Not much there now. That may change later though.

Hey Just Found .................... The R-Rated Trailer

The R-Rated Trailer For "Superbad" is here. It Has a MPAA red intro screen. www.youtube.com/watch?v=FPc28FASaEE It is quite a bit rauchier than the MPAA green intro screen.

Crikey, MiraJeff, what was the point of that?
by Bronx Cheer
I realize you explained yourself, but c'mon now, think about it the next time you abuse the black box. The one thing I took away from your rant was how devastated the film's turnout would be because you did not get the chance to write an early review.

I have one piece of advice: don't lie. If they ask if you write online reviews, tell the truth. Or is it so important to you to get you little blurb of a review out into the world that you'll lie, cheat, and steal to do it? Blech.

This film will probably be a big hit.

May 23, 2007, 6:40 a.m. CST
It's cool that you review this so far in advance Harry
by Vicenzo
But you do realize there's not a single readable review of Pirates 3 on your site? Anyway... good review. I'll definitely check this out, just like Knocked Up.

Other James Brown Movies:
by Napoleon Park
"I Feel good" is the I feel good hit of the Summer! Actually, that's all I got, unless Spike Lee films "Say it Loud, I'm Black And I'm Proud". "Sex Machine" might be good with a hard-R. "Tara Reid IS... Sex Machine!"
 Here's that Superbad red band clip again, this time with TinyUrl.

The Return of the R-Rated Comedy
by The Central Scrutinizer
Thank God for Judd Apatow and Co. My favorite comedies from my childhood were "Animal House", "Caddyshack" and "Fast Times at Ridgemont High" and I think it's about time that the film industry made comedies for adults instead of the PG-13 crowd. Bravo!!!

Actually...3 great comedies this summer...

HOT ROD is fucking hilarious. Don't care what anybody else says. Plus, Harry, cool it on the hyperbole. "They're the coolest most irresponsible insane fucking cops ever." Um, have you ever seen SUPERTROOPERS!?

MiraJeff, you wouldn't happen to be a recent graduate..
by Lenny Nero
...would you? Because you just name-dropped Clark Duke, a former child star and LMU grad from 2006, and Henry Winkler's son, a 2006 graduate from USC.
 Just curious, because we kind of run in the same circles.

by monorail77
I just was never able to crack the corridors of 'tang in high school. I wan't unpopular or bad looking, it just never happened. Now that I'm happily married with three kids, I'm over all of that, but it bothered me quite a bit, I recall, at the time. I think my experience is probably more common than yours. Kudos, friend, for taking the plunge.

by The Real MiraJeff
Lenny, man, wow, I love that name. Strange Days is so underappreciated. You get today's gold star. And yes, I am a recent grad. Shoot me an email, we'll grab a drink and do some playback. And Bronx, my good buddy, back again. I don't normally have to lie my way into screenings, but in this case, because I'm a devoted Apatow freak, I figured I'd give it a shot for you guys, to get the word out on the film, which in turn would help build buzz for Sony. I wasn't saying that because I didn't get to see it early and review it, the film's box office haul would suffer. That's ridiculous. I'm just saying, a little early strong word of mouth on AICN can go a long way. Why do you think Sony earmarked tickets for AICN when it was doing a U-Texas campus screening? Because they wanted us to write about it. They're not going to spend the marketing money on Superbad like they did on Spider-Man. They have to rely on word-of-mouth. That's how Virgin got to be such a big hit. The point of the original post had nothing to do with Superbad or Sony, it had to do with the Screening Exchange freakshows who take their job a little too seriously. I mean, if you've ever had to deal with these people, you'd know what I'm talking about. Just a ton of bad experiences, not just that night, but in NY years ago too. They treat you like getting to see a movie early is akin to being let into Camp David. I think one guy was giving cavity searches at the front door. I understand why they have to be as stringent as they are, but I find it sad how much security there is nowadays at the movies, frankly because of piracy. It's a shame, really. I guess I did a poor job of describing the circumstances of the evening. But when you take work off early, drive 30 miles in LA rush-hour traffic to get to a theater an hour early in the middle of Bumfuck, CA to see a movie you're pumped to see, and then have the rug pulled out from under you at the door because of an innocent name-drop, it's just immensely frustrating, especially when you waste another 2 hours having the lifeforce sucked out of you during Museum. I know you guys don't come here for my stories but I couldn't help myself. Next time, don't read it if you don't want to. Sorry to make a stink in Harry's talkback. Proceed with the Superbad discussion.

They're screening this tomorrow in NYC!!

If anyone wants a free pass I was eavesdropping and I heard one of the dudes who was giving out passes, say that he was going to be at 68th street and B'way tonight around 9pm and tomorrow (Thursday) at the AMC 25 starting at 3pm giving out passes for the 7pm screening of Superbad. I got mine, go get yours!!

I was actually probably too young when I started. It fucked me over in the long run. It might work for some, but I just wasn't in a condition emotionally when I deal with it all.

This will be even better than Knocked Up
by Arrested Development fan
I think this year has been pretty damn good for comedy so far, and the red band trailer for this looks absolutely awesome. Plus I'm a huge Arrested Development fan, but I'll be in L.A. for the next few days and I'm wondering if there's gonna be any screenings.

Thanks, but no thanks!

Just saw Superbad
by polyh3dron
It was 2 times as funny as Knocked Up, and I LOVED Knocked Up. Anyone thinking that the film will be too "Juvenile" a la "Blades" and "Talladega", you're dead wrong. This one's got lots and lots of intelligent jokes.. And anyone who uses Orson Welles' career as an analogy to their sex life for a joke is cool in my book.
June 27, 2007, 1:33 a.m. CST
I had the same feeling watching this movie as I did...
by polyh3dron
when I first saw Animal House. THAT'S how funny this movie is. Bill Hader & Seth Rogen play a couple of cops straight out of Reno 911 too, they're a blast.

There's a show-stealing cameo from Kevin Corrigan too
by polyh3dron
I last saw Corrigan as a crackhead bookie on The Black Donnellys and as Leo's cousin in The Departed, and to see this guy in this film doing what he does is another high point in the film.

by nostairway
This looks good..but is there nudity? I mean nudity of women that could actually pass for H.S. chicks-not older women copouts like in the American pie movies. It's a shame that most young actresses nowadays won't do nude scenes. Where is today's Phoebe Cates? Bring back the 80s,Dammit!

August 23, 2007 - Thursday SUPERBAD(ASS) SUPERBAD IS THE FUNNIEST MOVIE I'VE SEEN IN A LONG TIME!!!!!!!!! Current mood: FUCKIN A RIGHTEOUS HOLY SHIT MAN (exclamation point) superbad is an instant classic. better than 40 year old virgin, better than anchorman, better than dodgeball and possibly better than my all time coveted comedy..supertroopers. it has wit like jay and silent bob its crude as fuck (american pie the x rated version) (BIG POINTS FOR THAT)..and im not so sure animal house itself wouldnt even be just a wee bit jealous (MCLOVIN is the most original party guy character since..the dude..or spicoli as sean penn..or lisa..you know..kelly fucking bend me over crazy with love lebrock..if..i..was..talking about wild child guys as if they were a girl for example..who..anyway moving on..sean penn as spicoli...)its got taboo in all the right on the border of do i laugh or is this sick humor like borat(think the part with borat kneeling beside the naked guy in the polaroid. it happens so fast youre like what the fuck.. and it literally took me 5 seconds to even catch my breathe from the depths of the humor that just comes out of nowhere again and again and...man..seth rogen you just bought yourself a big fucking seat to the winners circle..bravo man...its like waiting but more intelligent and it doesnt bear down upon itself like some could be perfect but fall just short because they fall on themselves types of movies (sounds a bit like this review..)i dont know too many of the rest of your crew (although i have seen knocked up several times and i do enjoy arrested development immensely..WHO THE FUCK CANCELS A SHOW LIKE THAT I MEAN HONESTLY ?..) but big fucking props to all of you. hands down the funniest most original shit ive seen in a very long time...although knocked up was some really cool shit ..this one just grabbed my balls in a different way man..maybe because i can relate a little better to this one (Eric Cartman epiphany solo monologue to get himself out of trouble on yet ANOTHER occasion: somehow i avoided a knocked up type of life) but i almost didnt make it out with a bang and then it all hit me at once just like the humor in this film man...this thing was such a cathartic rush. i fucking love stoner movies..i fucking love crude humor but i fucking love it even more when the movie not only holds together but the credits tie the whole fucking thing together..i busted a nut!!!! this film just entered the comedy hall of fame with just one viewing and supertroopers is the only other film to hit me like that on the first cut..i watch a fucking TON of movies..well maybe not as many as tarentino or harry knowles or..anyway..i watch a lot of movies in general but comedies..oh man..lets see..kevin smith (the obvious) to the obscure (rushmore) to the classics (real genius) (yes i said real genius..its a Goddamn classic and you know it is..finally give that bitch some a what she deserves comedy central..air that shit uncut so kent can fuckin get caught jerkin it!)i love dry humor like sideways..i love subtle humor like high fidelity..i love old school beatdown humor like the jerk...THIS FUCKING MOVIE HAD ALL OF THEM. AND THAT FUCKER HAD THE FEEL GOOD HIGH TIMES ENDING (that sadly killed harold and kumar..well that and the last half hour was totally douche..no disrespect to harold and kumar it just got a bit much at the end..although the doog was a nice surprise) did i mention there should be a sequel( well no..actually thatd kill the badass superbadness) sorry guys im a purist and there are only a handful of movies that truly deserve sequels..i dunno they just sort of fall apart after a few years..its like you take a picture while something is fresh in your mind for the first time and then you waive it like a polaroid you pulled too fast no matter how great it was only the steadiest of magicians can do that one right( or really crazy horror and i dunno about you all but im really rootin for the new halloween) but please please please i beg of you...make more of it...go out into the world and spawn like freaks with a dildo made out of ducttape i dont fucking care..just go man..make as many of these fucking films together.. and with the other funniest fuckers out there..Jesus..somebody get Saget and Carell together in a Wachowski triangle with Apatow and Spike Jones..SUPERBAD WITH JUST ONE MOVIE YOUVE JOINED THE RANKS OF SOME OF THE ALL TIME GREATS AND PUT ABOUT 50 NEW PEOPLE ON THE MAP. Christopher Mintz-Plasse is gonna be huge. Seth Rogen if you weren't in the frat pack before you certainly are now. Big props to your whole crew.
