Having seen the movie, do you guys (DH and lovecraft) think my review is fair? Did you mark for Pam?

Because hiring a lawyer is ALWAYS the smart thing to do, innocent or guilty.

Yea, as I said in my review I thought as a horror movie it sucked. And I've never seen Firefly or Serenity, so I don't know Nathan Fillion at all, and I think he's hilarious

I agree with those who say that EHME has never heard of innocent until proven guilty.

I don't like horror movies, but I liked it a lot, b/c I thought it was really funny

Ebert kind of explains the rating in the review, but it sounds more like a **1/2 review. But Ebert always says to read the review, not the ratings, and it sounds like he liked it. Is Silent Hill the movie where the girl gets lost in the small town and the mom goes to look for her and well, that never ends well. I think I might have seen a trailer for it in front of Running Scared. I also reviewed Basic Instinct 2, although I'm sure no one wants to read that.

Not really, especially when a lot of what he says is right.

Pam is the new Lisa Miller

Hmmm, I thought it was one of the funniest in a while. Ryan's reactions to everything, Michael checking Toby, telling Pam to check for breast cancer, the From Dwight jersey- great stuff.

Okay, it sounds like it was NBC only. Yes, I need to see this

Was TMYK thing only on NBC and not Global? From Dwight was the best part.

I didn't see the More You Know thing, when was that?

Homicide is like 93-0 against Colt it seems

Glad you guys liked it, I had to find a way to include Pam in there somehow.

If I was still proofreading it would say Beflour probably. I agree with mike, Kevin Weekes sucks and the Rangers need Lunqvist.

I don't know, I'd give Lundqvist the Vezina and Jagr the Hart, even though it feels weird giving the top awards to the Rangers.

Here's my review- 2006 is shaping up to be “The Year of the Shitty Horror Movie.” Look at what we’ve had to endure so far: THE CALL IS COMING FROM INSIDE THE HOUSE! IF YOU DIE IN THE GAME….YOU DIE FOR REAL and my personal favourite: MISTAH WILL YOU PLAY WITH US? Slither is different then these movies in that it knows its plot is stupid and ridiculous and has fun with it. While I was rarely scared, I was enjoying myself because Slither is so funny. In Slither some sort of slugs come to Earth and infects some guy who turns into a gross looking thing. Soon people turn into zombies and the four main stars of the movie have to figure out how to not die for 45 minutes. That’s the basic plot, as Slither knows no one cares about plot exposition and wastes little time on it. Much of the humour comes from Nathan Fillion, who plays a cop. Fillion is an expert at the art of deadpan and is able to keep the story going when the zombies get boring. Fillion is essentially playing the role of audience, constantly making comments about how stupid and ridiculous events are getting as the story develops. Before you sit there and say, “What the fuck?”, Fillion has already beaten you to the comment, and it’s funnier then anything you were going to say. Gregg Henry (another Firefly alum) provides comic relief in a supporting role. Writer/director James Gunn knows zombie movies are stupid, and always makes sure the audience is in on the joke. The big checkmark against Slither is that as a horror movie, it sucks. Gunn uses the same old tired BOO techniques that have become stale. The movie is simply never scary, and Gunn tries to overcompensate by upping the gore factor. The movie’s gross, but you never get the sense that anyone is truly in danger. This bogs down the last part of the movie, as the one-liners stop coming and it’s more about how they can stop the zombies. Overall, Slither is a fun and a refreshing addition to the tired horror genre. It never slows down and is always entertaining. Gunn did a good job of getting the right mix of people to work with and they all know how to work with what they’ve been given. There’s enough gore to satisfy the gore fans, enough horror to satisfy the horror fans and there’s a lot of mocking of horror to satisfy the people like me who couldn’t give a shit about zombies. And for you all fans of The Office, you’ll be happy to know that Jenna Fisher has a small role as a receptionist. Apparently she slept with the director/writer to get the part, as James Gunn is her husband.

I'm just curious UTSU- what did Bret do at the DVD signing that make you think he was a dick? And I don't believe Bret is getting anything for the HOF.

Do you really think that if Shawn called Bret, that Bret would talk to him?

Anyone know if the 10 Man Tag is on YouTube?

Holy fuck- Anson Carter just scored with 7 seconds left. Canucks win 2-1

Do we need to put you on suicide watch 909?

Where did he say that about Eddie? I want to see it

LessoninMachismo's posts make my head hurt.

No problem DH, it'll be in our school paper next week along with an interview with Lukas Haas. I'll post both next week. The critics I saw Slither with were laughing the whole time, they all seemed to enjoy it. The critics I saw Basic Instinct 2 with were also laughing the whole time, but for different reasons
