MOVIE REVIEW
“World’s End”
by Doug Young
Old red eyes is back
The World’s End
long hedonism.
This ale contains a secret ingredient that affects the entire range of its flavor and essence. This being summertime, ales can provide a refreshing yet mindless diversion from more serious, heavy cinematic offerings. So, it’s only natural that The World’s End would manufac ture this special Dystopia Ale. But instead of other summery ales of its type, this particular ale is seasoned with lighthearted dystopian colorings that suggest more hoppy hopefulness for the future of mankind. That comes from the secret ingredient. Not much can be divulged about this secret ingredient as it is proprietary. Suffice it to say that strange byproducts emerge from this formula and thereby affect every other element in the vat of their former school town as they partake in pints along the 13-pub crawl — byproducts that present serious foamy dangers and are not, unfortunately, simply apparitions from a drunken haze. These five character ingredients stumble upon a plot produced by this secret ingredient that supplants their respective flavors with its own and thereby risks pervading the whole world batch, which only these five ingredients can stop or hasten. That they are able — incredibly — to d both at the same time is the special secret of this ale that leaves one with a hangover and boggles the mind.
The beige, amber hue of this pilsner says it all: We humans may be flawed and irrational, but we like it that way! Human-brau will remind you of those other, previous cinematic brews that stand for the proposi- tion that our special human psychological
concoction can be just what we need to
overcome more sophisti-
cated and advanced —
even foreign or other-
worldly — ingredi-
ents. The power of
Humanbrau lies in
its natural,
unadulterated
purity. Sure
there may be
other, more
sophisticated
elixirs that can
relive all of our
unwelcome side-
effects (like
conflicting flavor addi-
tives, warlike admixtures
and bitterness). But would we
really want that? Take a big swig of Human-
brau and remember that it’s made by
humans, for humans, and should be
consumed with humans. It’s important to
drink this pilsner with friends who, although
they might piss you off sometimes, are still
better than the mindless alternative that
may offer immediate tasty inebriation, but is
not made with any genuine care or ingredi-
ents. The world may come to an end, but if
it’s an end we choose, we say drink up, and
make a toast to Humanbrau! Cheers!
