I watched Would You Rather on HBO last night, it was a pretty original horror movie. I'm watching it and I'm going "Man that host looks awfully familiar." It turned out to be Jeffrey Combs from Re-Animator, I was like holy shit no wonder why that movie rocked. lol You guys should check it out, its disturbing as **** though.

You do understand that Rotten Tomatoes doesn't review movies, right?

A million ways to die in the west = A dumber live action Family Guy. Basically all the same jokes except in live action and in the wild west.

I liked it. I laughed quite a bit.

Obviously, anything he writes is going to have a Family Guy feel to it. I really like his brand.

His acting was better than I expected.

I don't think he's gained "most" back. He did gain some, though.

He looks like a douchebag in that pic.

He's not as big as he used to be but he put more than a little bit back on.

Health aside, I think that's a good weight for him, looks-wise.

I have been trying to make myself watch classic movies that I've missed. I recently caught "Of Mice and Men" and thought it was pretty good.

However, I watched "The Deer Hunter" last weekend and was, ummm - underwhelmed. I know it won a shit ton of Oscars but I didn't care for it. It seemed badly in need of editing (the wedding scene was almost an hour long, with almost no dialog) and it seemed like most of the dialog was the characters shouting at each other.

I found this review and have to agree.

BBC film critic Mark Kermode challenged the film's status among generally praised film classics: "There is an unwritten rule in film criticism that certain films are beyond rebuke. Citizen Kane, Some Like It Hot, 2001, The Godfather Part II... all these are considered to be classics of such universally accepted stature ... At the risk of being thrown out of the 'respectable film critics' circle, may I take this opportunity to declare officially that in my opinion The Deer Hunter is one of the worst films ever made, a rambling self indulgent, self aggrandizing barf-fest steeped in manipulatively racist emotion, and notable primarily for its farcically melodramatic tone which is pitched somewhere between shrieking hysteria and somnambulist sombreness.
