John Dies at the End: David Wong

Product Information

Like a ten-minute Saturday Night Live skit stretched out to make a two-hour movie, much of the laugh out loud hilarity of the first 50 pages are diluted by the end.

He had been a big, twitchy guy with veiny skin stretched over swollen biceps, a tattoo of a swastika on his tongue. Just stay calm, and remember that telling you about the spider situation is not the same as having caused it. On the plus side there are quite a lot of bizarre sights to see; wig monsters, gigantic blobby monsters, flying parasites, ghosts, clones, exploding dogs and policemen, copious amount of blood and poo etc. John dies at the end" initially was a web novel series by Jason Pargin (aka David Wong), one of the editors of cracked. Their encounters with the world are marked by awkward conversations and stifled laughter, hidden smirks and rolled eyes.Things only gets stranger from there, as David and John (who doesn’t stay dead for long) discover they are the thin, oddball line of defense between life as we know it on this planet and dark invaders from somewhere else entirely.

Big" Jim and Fred are killed in the events, while Jennifer (whom Dave has had a crush on since high school) ends up dating Dave for a while during the period between the two main storylines. I pictured myself pouring my heart out to this guy, ranting about the shadows, and the worms, and Korrok, and Fred Durst, babbling away under this wall-size portrait of a badly drawn burrito. The two flashbacks are bridged together by a framing sequence involving a present-day conversation Dave is having with a reporter who is investigating Dave's claim to be some kind of "monster-hunter". But I will say that it definitely got a bit more cohesive at the end but, overall, I think it could've been tighter and less rambly and while I did sort of generally like it, overall, I still feel no real compulsion to get back into it and I doubt I'd actively seek out the next book that is, apparently, in the making.In the present day, he meets with a reporter, Arnie Blondestone, to recount the supernatural events that plagued the small, undisclosed city David lives in. David wakes up in the back of a liquor truck with John and other survivors of the party and they seem to be headed to the Luxor Hotel in Las Vegas to meet with Albert Marconi, an expert in the paranormal. In fact, I would have loved to have given this book five stars, but there was one problem that constantly detracted from my enjoyment. So one likely explanation is that when the web series started under the title "John dies at the end", Wong/Pargin may have planned to actually kill him off and simply ditched the idea while the story developed.

Incident piles upon incident in rapid succession, not much time is spent on expositions or character development. Brooks places the epicenter of the Bigfoot war in a high-tech hideaway populated by the kind of people you might find in a Jurassic Park franchise: the schmo who doesn’t know how to do much of anything but tries anyway, the well-intentioned bleeding heart, the know-it-all intellectual who turns out to know the wrong things, the immigrant with a tough backstory and an instinct for survival. It's been a few days since I finished, and I'm still going over it, trying to figure out what exactly happened.John Dies at the End is a 2012 American comedy horror film written and directed by Don Coscarelli and based on David Wong's novel of the same name. Sus ocurrencias y sus hilos de pensamiento me sacaron más de una carcajada;

Like watching a psychedelic train wreck orchestrated by HP Lovecraft and not being able to look away no matter how strange and terrifying it gets.
