Pajiba

Don't worry. I won't "FIRST!"
Happy New Year y'all.

Sweet!

D'oh!

As a long time reader and third or fourth time commentator, I want to thank Dustin and staff for realizing so quikcly and embracing what makes this site great (the community. yay!)

Long live Pajiba!

A lot of folks, in fact, have suggested that they come for the reviews, but stay for the commenters

Absolutely true. Many a time, I have found myself coming up for air, so to speak, having read all the comments made on an article, wondering where the time has gone. The commenters can be counted on to add different perspectives to the topic at hand--and the tangential discussions that happen between commenters are often hilarious in and of themselves.

Scathing and bitchy (and snarky) Pajiba and its commenters may be, but also damn witty and entertaining.

Not only do I stay for the comments after the reviews, I got a t-shirt and stationary out of the deal (by the way, fabulousstationary.com is in fact fabulous, Dustin) and a whole shiny review out of the deal. All of which totals up to better than Xmas for me! Kudos to the site and us commenters (commentators? commentationalists?) for making this site one of my first reads of the day, every day.

I came to Pajiba after you started doing custom ads on the "Query Letters I Love" website. Gosh, I do mish ManagerGuy, may he rest in peace.

I was suspicious of Pajiba at first because of the "rhymes with vagina" stuff you put in the ad, but I was pleased with the reviews. And after the demise of QLIL, this was the only place I could get in some good snarky comments to relieve the tension at the office.

Keep up the good work! and Thanks!

Sweet butt-humping Christ on a battleship. I really need to get a fucking hobby.

Also, my new year's resolution is to track down B-Slim and kill him in his sleep. I'm gunning for # 1, motherfucker. I'm comin' for you.

In all seriousness, thank YOU, Pajiba. You've left the other moview review sites in the dust, and I'm thrilled to see you guys succeed.

Happy New Year, y'all.

It's the reviews of the overlooked and classic movies I like the most. You guys are dead on with your recs.

Thanks for the entertainment. : )

As a full-time lurker who's been following Pajiba for at least two years, I will briefly step out of the shadows to applaud this site and its commentors for making my day job more interesting, albeit less productive.

Oh, and as a lowly working stiff actor, my dream is to one day be bitched out by the fine fine people at Pajiba. That day, I will know I have made it.

Happy New Year Everyone!

The comments section is part of what gets me through my very boring days as a receptionist. I am glad that you guys recognize its importance.

You should absolutely take the intensity of discourse in your comment section as proof that Pajiba's hitting its mark more often than not. Well done!

One other thing.

...(there is nothing more disheartening than to spend half a day on a review and then, 30 seconds after its posted, to be scolded for a typo or a grammatical mistake)

Two possibilities:

1) I'm the grammar asshole for the morning; or
2) Meta-humor! If so, bravo!

Is it sad that I want to make the top ten list next year? Wait - don't answer that. I already know it is.

I just want to say congratulations and thanks to Dustin and all the writers who work so hard and subject themselves to cinematic torture on a regular basis just to make the rest of us smile. Pajiba is the one site I can honestly say I visit every day - and, in my opinion, it just keeps getting better.

And I really can't believe B-Slim's posted over 1,000 times. Good gods.

Happy New Year Pajibans!

When I reread this and saw you made the changes, I laughed for a straight ten minutes. Mostly because I could picture you grumbling and cursing while pecking at your keyboard.

Hah!

(grumble grumble Ever heard of a film called How She Move, Claude? grumble grumble. Well, you will. grumble grumble! -- DR)

Wow - should I be honored or frightened that I made the top-10? The again - since I just use my given name (I'll give you $10 and a six pack of the microbrew of your choice if you prove that is you legal name Mr. Slim), maybe I'm deluding myself and it is another Brian. Nevertheless, thank you Dustin. E-mail me and I'll tell you where you can send the check.

folks have scared a few reviewers away
Really?

(No delusion, Brian. Of course, we speak of you. And yes: You have no idea the power that the comments section has over newer critics -- it takes a healthy sense of self to withstand some of the hazing we get. -- DR)

Wow...I, uh...I don't know what to say. I didn't even have anything prepared, but here goes. I'd like to thank my fingers, without whom none of Wow...I, uh...I don't know what to say. I didn't even have anything prepared, but here goes. I'd like to thank my fingers, without whom none of this would have been possible. I'd also like to thank the big guy upstairs (not God, but the fat guy that lives above me that keeps me awake with his Euro-pop music, so I have no choice but to troll Pajiba). Seriously though, I found Pajiba whilst on a search for anything disparaging about Perez Hilton (which, thankfully, Pajiba had in spades). I stayed after reading Dustin's evisceration of the fucktard. I've been lucky enough to make some actual friends here, and found that it's ok to be a fan of Bruce Campbell AND Vigo Mortensen (not to mention my man-crush Ryan Reynolds). Thank you, Pajiba, for providing a sanctuary for the geeks, freaks, and intellectuals (and TK, too). Happy New Pajiba!

Look at Socalled, double posting to try to up his numbers.

Christ, I'm bored at work today.

I'm here for the reviews AND the comments. I try to keep up, but you're a fiery bunch and I'm simply proud that I can read all of the words that you put together!

Happy New Year, Pajiba!

I don't know that I've ever commented here before, but I must agree that those who do comment make this site what it is. Along with my other online love, mental_floss.com, Pajiba relies on its commentors to create an intellectual, conversational environment that brings in those who care for a little creative thought in their otherwise boring workdays. Congrats all and Happy New Year! Be safe and be fun. :-)

Oops, that's mentalfloss.com, for anyone who's interested.

I'm just thankful that the reviewers that did took the beating and stayed around. Strength to the reviewers and taking criticism to an artform!!

Wheee! I made the cut! See, kids, Tom Cruise was right! You don't need medication to fix your mental issues. You just need Pajiba!

I'm going to be spending New Years Eve watching the Thin Man boxset while Lady Clevername recouperates from surgery. So I quite literally have to thank you for my New Years festivities.

I don't need a check. I just request that you don't give me a cease and desist order on my website.

I absolutely love this site...it's the first thing I check in the morning...and I spend most of my day checking the comments section. I definately see where people will stay for the comments...those diversions can get pretty snarky!

I was a long, long-time lurker who only recently came out of the woodwork to join the Pajiba comment community, and just wanted to say to everybody here - thank your for the intelligence, entertainment, and good grace to be good people with well-thought opinions...rather than sink into the futile depressing quagmire that is usually anonymous, online discussions. Bravo Pajiba! And here's to another year of entertaining reviews and a sense of hope for the world!

(That's assuming, of course...we can manage to avoid the upcoming stinkers guaranteed to drop soon...yes, I had heard of Horton Hears a Who as well...)

Of course I meant to say "anyone wants to categorize" not "anyway want". My excuse is that I was distracted by a small child in desperate need of a book (in other words my job). This is why I don't comment - fear of betraying my overpriced and hard-earned linguistics degree with silly typos.

Happy New Year to my favorite site! I'll have to work harder to make the list next year.

Add me to the line of commenters who wants to partake in the tapping of asses. You are all sexy bitches.

I don't post a lot but I just wanted to say that I really enjoy the site. Keep up the great work.

I'm another who always reads but rarely comments, and I wholly agree that the quality of the commenters is definitely one of the things that keeps me coming back. Aside from their intelligent discussions and wonderfully vicious wit, the commenters here can actually spell correctly, and do so on a consistent basis. I don't mean to sound like an elitist dickhead, but Christ on a cracker, there's a dearth of basic readin' and 'ritin abilities on the interwebs, and this place is a haven where even seasoned editors can relax, knowing they won't be subjected to the likes of Perez Hilton and his grammatically challenged ilk.

I'll echo the sentiments already mentioned - thank you, Pajiba for your wonderful work this year, etc., etc. I'd count myself somewhere between lurker and around-100-comments, closer to lurker, and part of the reason I often don't comment is that everyone else usually does a damn fine job by the time I get to the end of the article and the end of the comments. So kudos to the readers, the writers, and the readers who also write.

See you all in 08.

Kolby-

The question is, do today's posts count towards your goal, since they were made after the list was created, or are they "wasted" because it is still 2007?

I found Pajiba through the Go Fug Yourself site, and reading it has become part of my daily routine. I knew I was hooked when I realized I was coming back to read comments that were added after my initial reading of the review/round-up/ACD. I miss you guys when you don't post something everyday.

Have a happy 2008 and keep up the good work!

Happy New Year Pajibans. It's really sad that I am both terribly happy to be in the top 10 and also terrified by the realization that since I work on a billable hours system, I could probably be a millionaire already if it weren't for Pajiba. Oh well, we all must make sacrifices for our art!
Dustin et al, I salute you. For many of us you are the web-based equivalent of an intellectual soup kitchen. We line up eagerly each day, bowls in hand and we would surely starve if you weren't there.

Sniff. Verklempt-ness. --RR.

Ah, how I do love to get recognition!

I can't remember when I started regularly reading Pajiba. It was through a link from the Go Fug gals that I first stumbled here. This site used to provide me with enough wry smiles to endure my daily grind as a lesser demon in Corporate Hell. It wasn't until I broke those hellfire chains and decided to spend my days as a full-time mom to Little Pink (AKA the Craziest Toddler Ever) that I started commenting regularly.

Pajiba is my Internet Treehouse where I pop in daily to hang with the gang and enjoy the zany conversations and smashing movie and television reviews. Honestly, because I spend most of the day with my kid, Pajiba's comment threads are one of the only forms of adult contact I get on a regular basis. (Yes, I am a sad, sad little Cliché .)

Besides, those "Mommy Groups" everyone keeps telling me to join creep the shit out of me.

Through this site, I've come to know a small, far-flung little cadre of commenters and bloggers who became newfound friends. (Behold! The power of the Interwebs! Gah!) And for that, Pajiba, am I eternally grateful.

Thanks for entertaining me. Thanks for introducing me to all these other crazies out there in the big bad world.

Thanks to my fellow commenters for keeping me sane on those days when I really just wanted to leave my kid in a parking lot somewhere with a sign reading "Free to a Good Home".

Here's to 2008! May I finally get to see more than two movies a month in a theater! Cheers, y'all!

(We're definitely talking about you, Robert. -- DR

Now I don't know whether to be happy or cry. I really spend that much time here?

And, thinking about it, I wouldn't have it any other way. Next stop: the top 10. Fair warning.

::blushing::

I never thought I'd log 100 comments on a website, let alone be recognized for it.

Thanks for helping increase my intellect whilst decreasing my productivity. ;-)

The commenters really are what keep me coming back to this site every day...sometimes more than once..or..ten times...whatever.
The most frequent contributors seem like people who could be in some of my classes or some of my friends, not illiterate 14 year olds who watch "The Hills" in between visits to Perez - they're witty, they're intelligent, most are respectful of differing opinions, others are pretty much assholes...but they're all entertaining even when the movie being reviewed is not.

So, cheers to 2008!
FIRST!!11 lolz roflcopterkthnxbai!!

I'm really glad Pajiba is gaining momentum. Like the Juggernaut, soon, it will be unable to stop. A few months back, I was on a train wearing my Pajiba shirt (of which I have two), and someone recognized it. I felt happy.

Here's to you, Pajiba staff: Dan, Dustin, Ranylt, Constance, John, Phillip, AB, and hell, even the TV Whore. Also, Jeremy, wherever you are, you're missed.

Also, here's to you, commenters, it's nice to know our average IQ is double that of the AICNers.

HA! Outstanding

This site is so awesome I'd like to take it behind a dumpster and have it give me a blowjob.

MERRY NEW YEAR, here's to more Pajabinist asshattery.

Dingles, I had a coach in high school that wouldn't listen to me, claiming that "irregardless" was a perfectly good word.

I said, "yes, I'm sure it's a perfectly cromulent word. I should embiggen my vocabulary."

He didn't notice.

It is a perfectly good word if you're...like...retarded. "Regardless + Irrelevant = Irregardless! It makes total sen-" FAIL.

I come for the snark, but stay for BSlim.

Pajiba helped me survive a year in a small town Alberta video store, hearing such gems as "Why do all the new movies have so many black people?", "Wow, wasn't Garfield funny?" (I actually found the site through the Garfield review) "Why are you sold out of Are We There Yet?" and "Oh. That's that gay movie." (Note: Pre-Brokeback)

*snif* It's nice to know I'm loved - or vaguely tolerated.

And also nice to know that I'm not the only one who tosses 'cromulent' into conversations with people who think they're smarter than you are. (Ie: My boss, who insisted that Poland was a part of the original USSR)

I too count myself among those who have been faithfully devoted to this site for ages but have only posted a handful of times. It's mostly because by the time I pick myself up off the floor after a fit of giggles, most of the things I'd want to say have already been said, and said with far more intelligence and wit than I could muster.

I've been reading Pajiba since before the DHS incident, and am proud to say that I have converted a lot of my friends into followers as well. I love the reviews, and love the comments - no other community on these here interwebs comes close to engaging me and entertaining me as much as this one.

This was such a lovely way to end a rather shitty year, thanks for the unscathing and unbitchy post. But seriously, a Blonde Ambition real-time review??? It HAS to be done! I may love my warm fuzzies now and again, but I loves me some bitchiosity more :)

Cheers to Pajiba and all the Pajibans, LUB YOU GUYS!

Oh, and let the ass-tappage begin. I'd definitely tap all your asses. Twice.

Aww, I love this site.

I also love it when my fellow Pajibans drunk-comment. Hilariousness ensues.

While slightly surprised, and oddly proud, that I even made the 100 comments list, I still have to say, Happy New Year you guys! Here's hoping for some better stuff to review in 2008! And that Juno makes it to theaters in my town someday!

Manny's and Vermillion's ubiquitous comments. I mean, seriously, those guys must have NO life.

I am still pissed that I am both crushingly single and unemployed and I STILL didn't beat you.

I demand a RECOUNT!!!! Or at least for the actual numbers to be listed!!!!!

Vermillion, you WRITE for the damn site. Quit yer cryin'. Accept that as a writer, you're good enough to get the gig.

But as a commenter? Not even the bronze, bud.

Also, Jeremy, wherever you are, you're missed

What did happen to him?

Oh TK, you haven't heard of the, like, awesomest movie ever?? Blonde Ambition is the oh-so-talented Jessica Simpson's upcoming movie!

Pajiba, I am salivating at the prospect of this review!

I've only delurked on a few occasions, but I come here several times a day in the hopes of maintaining my sanity and good humor. Thanks to everyone for the snark, and have a great 2008!!

Oh, son of a bitch. That was a mistake.

Jesus, I've left over 100 comments on this site? I need to get a life! ;-)

Hey, keep up the good work. I found this site by following a link from the now defunct Mr. Cranky and never looked back (frankly, I can't believe how long I've been reading this blog. The Homeland Security seizure was in 2006!?!?!?). This, along with the Galactica Watercooler fan forum (gotta get my geek cred AND a shout out to the other most intelligent and perhaps the most polite bunch of commenters on the interwebs) are my two must read blogs, so here's to continued success for you in 2008. May it be snarky, bitchy and, occassionally, may you get to watch a movie or TV show or listen to an album or song (or piece of concert music) that just makes it all worth it.

Trying to pad the stats for next year, TK?

Oh this just made me smile so wide!

Speaking of scaring reviewers away, what happened to Jeremy Fox? I used to love reading his reviews.

Happy New Year, and thank you!

Though I'm still laughing audibly at Manny's acceptance speech, I'm going to try to type calmly enough to second (third, fifth?) the request for a real-time review of Blonde Ambition. If nothing else, I want the possibly unprecedented demise of Luke Wilson's career to wring actual tears from the reviewer's eyes. Please do this! Please! I promise to never double-post OR skip the "preview comment", pre-posting step ever again!

Huzza. Gotta love some recognition. Happy New Years everybody.

well, i have to say that that was a mighty fine tribute, and by god, if i can break the 1000 comment mark by procrastinating on my work even further, i will.

I LOVE PAJIBA!
Socalled there is nothing wrong with reading and commenting from your Blackberry. I have to read pajiba on my blackberry because I was told I spent too much time at work on the site. Now my boss tracks my internet usage and every website that I click on during the day. So, now I am forced to look at it on my phone. I look like I am being productive though, because I work for AT&T and it looks like I am learning new things about my phone that I can pass on to customers.

I came here from the Original QLIL site (Oh Manager! Oh Empress!) not GFY, but rather to GFY via Pajiba.
I don't post as much as some, but I definitely feel that I can express my opinion and be ignored by a higher quality of reader on this site then on any other.
Aside from that, I tend to disagree with Dustin about 80-90% of the time so you'll never see me type the sw--- word.

WooHoo! I may not have made the cool table in the cafeteria but I got acknowledged by the Soc's. I haven't felt this much unearned pride since Betty and I were elected Queen and King of the Valentine's Dance.

Not surprising that I post so much: the running joke in my family is that Rudy started talking in full sentences at ten months--and hasn't shut up since.

Seriously fellow Pajib[i]ans, I truly look forward to my daily visits with this smart, witty, and cruelly blunt web community. All y'all (because y'all isn't sufficiently inclusive) are the Bestest. You remind me of my Buds in school--too many of whom have since died of the scourge of AIDS. Such talent; such a loss.

I arrived here to read Jeremy's review of "Brokeback Mountain," just before the seizure by the Stooges of HS. I agree with Dustin [?] that is the finest piece of writing ever on this site. I also keep wondering what became of him. Did we drive him away?

I came for the snark and stayed for the intelligence. The reviews always give me something to ponder and usually to re-consider. The comments never cease to amaze me with their insights and audacity, not to mention beautiful prose. I adore people who love to play with language and who do it so skillfully; therefore, te adoro Pajib[i]a!

I knew I'd made it "in" when I was mocked by BS. That is second only to being knighted by the Queen. Happy New Year!

Pajiba is my crack and unfortunately I need to get my hits several times a day. Thanks for feeding my addiction, reviewers and commenters of Pajibaland.
Have a great '08 everybody. I'll read you next year. Bad joke, I know, I couldn't resist.
Now let's all get shitfaced while we kick '07's ass out the door. Whoo Hoo!

I've only commented a time or two, but I love reading the reviews and comments here, and make it a point to check the site several times a day. I doubt if I will ever make 100 posts (or even 10) during the course of a year, as I am an antisocial misfit who prefers to observe the sad deterioration of human society rather than participate in, or as is the case here, to comment upon its inexorable decline. Pajiba is one of the few places where intelligent discourse has not yet become extinct. I hope all of you have a good 2008, and that you keep up the good work.

Whoo! Happy New Year to all (she types drunkenly), as I drink to the merry intelligentia of Pajiba!

Screw grammar, it's feckin' New Year's!!!

man, it sucks that i didn't make "the list", but then again, i only post when i feel murderous instinct towards the reviewers and/or talkbackers (thank god it isn't alot...if i had been on the list, i would have probably had to increase my therapy frequency!!!).

but congrats pajiba, and even though an unnamed executive at this website will not return my calls, i hold no grudges and make no judgements.

long live the p!!

Another one of the semi-frequent commenters who wandered in via GFY. I think Pajiba is now stop #3 on my daily interwebs rounds, and about half of my other stops are places I found through Pajiba. I love this place. And yes, I find myself quoting the comments section to friends about as often as the actual reviews. Keep on keepin' on.

They like me. They really like me. I'm on to you, Dustin. Pandering to us leeches so we will be nicer in 2008. Damnit. It probably worked. Congrats again for having a baby.

I sure thought I would have left over a hundred comments by now.
Maybe I haven't wasted as much time here as I thought. Or, perhaps my minor defense of Crash has rendered me invisible.

Ah, sandy vaginas. I seem to recall being somewhat involved in instigating that, but it sort of ran away from me. I'm not much of a troll but occasionally you get lucky. Honestly, sandy vaginas are like fish in a barrel anyway.

That's someone else's setup.

Having read pajiba for a few years now (unsure of exactly how long...) I thought I might as well join in on this new fangled comment business! This article woke me up to the fact I don't get those white hot flashes when reading the comments like I do elsewhere (don't worry, there's noone else but you, Pajiba). So thank you for constantly re-assuring me that the written word as some meaning on the internet, and for continually encouraging me to tread the path of the critic!

wow. I was gonna say something about how when you mention people's names the comments come pouring out. But then I realized I would just be adding to it so I decided not to say anything at all.

Holy Jesus. I can't be number 8. I tried to cut back, honest I did. I went to meetings and everything - well, I would have gone to meetings if they were offered to me. Which they weren't, goddamnit!

I'm especially proud of myself as I only started really commenting this summer.

I've said it before and will say it again: Most. Boring. Job. Ever.

Anyways: Happy new year to one and all from a very hungover Pajiban. I'm going to crawl back under the covers now.

I started coming here when I was in law school, so about 4 years ago. Wow. Law school and I parted ways after the first year, and while I say it was a mutual break up, I can't pretend my growing love for the Pajiba wasn't a very big factor.
After Katrina, when I was stuck in Houston fucking Texas, I came here daily. Jokes about owning/renting/living in Hell or Texas aside, this site seriously kept me from cracking. It was a horrible nightmare post-Apocalyptic world I was living in, shuffling between the Generica of Houston and the zombie movie set that was New Orleans post storm, and Pajiba was my tiny refuge.
I can't thank you guys enough. Happy new year.

While I'm a long way away from 100 posts, I'm another longtime reader who ambled over from GFY and feels lucky to have come across one of the best sites on the internet. What was at first fuel for my ardent cinephilia became my daily entertainment and amusement. This site is truly awesome: its reviewers terrific, its diversions hilarious and its commenters always entertaining and well-informed.

Plus it's great to visit a site where *OMG* PeOpLe DoNt RiTE lYk ThiSS LOL :-DD

Happy 2008, Pajiba and Pajibians!

I'm off to kill the person who gave me the unabridged DVD version of R Kelly's "Trapped in the Closet" for Christmas.

p.s. So does it rhyme with 'vagina'? I've been getting it wrong all this time...

Well, thanks for the thanks! Intelligent conversation is always welcome, even over the tubes.

It was on this very site that I realized I might just be a freak, geek and/or intellectual. (which I find I'm quite pleased about) And this revelation comes in the mid-section of my life. **sniff sniff**
Thanks, Pajiba, for helping me find me.
;)
I'm currently on vacation and w/o computer access most days. I've been missing me some Pajiba!!!!

Awww, you guys are the best. I also rarely post, but I read a lot of the comments and I do love the sense of community they have brought to the site.

This is my first comment. I have lurked for a couple months, I don't even remember how I found the site but am so glad I did so I would like to say "Thank You". Also I now wait to see a movie until your reviews are up.

I remember the first review I read here was on Memoirs of a Geisha. There was a heated debate in the comments section about whether the reviewer was expressing racist sentiment in the review. Some were screaming racism while others were criticizing some readers' lack of critical reading skills. It was awesome. I've been a part time lurker ever since.

Happy New Year, everyone!

I love you, Pajiba. Happy New Year, y'all!

That's very nice of you. Pajiba is the first web site I check everyday, and I'm not into movies that much. In fact, I haven't been to a movie theater in over 4 months. But this site gives me all I need, which is my favorite part: the critic, the thought, the break down of the pieces that make a movie. Either being hysterical or serious, this site shows what a quality movie should be like, and how you won't compromise those ideals in your reviews. I'm very proud of your work, and recommend it every time.
In my case, I'm not much of a poster. English is not my native language, and others seem to voice my opinions much more fluently. And to that top 10 I also thank, for making this site even more enjoyable.

Happy New Year, Pajiba!

I love the comments about this site, and i hate the fact that i live on the other side of the world to many of you, and therefore miss out on the debates. I don't think i've ever come across another website where many of the commenters are as talented at writing as the staff themselves.

Congratulations for being awesome!

Wow... :) I made an end of year list!!!! I can say that without the comments section, this site wouldn't be the same. I've seen it over the last couple years that some of the reviews and topics posted are actually birthed from the comments. You guys always have something fresh to offer me while i waste 60% of my workday. Hell...methinks there would be a few dead cube dwellers in my building if not for you fine folks.

Am I the only commenter who dreams of one day writing something, no matter how small, for the site? i think that's a big reason why people come here. Because we feel like we're included. :) Happy New Year to all!!!

And R.R......you could tap this if you like.

Groovy Marsha.
As a relative newbie, I'd just like to thank everyone for giving me a great place to look forward to reading interesting reviews and witty (sometimes) commentaries.

Yay us!! Group hugs and high fives all around!!

I'm a major lurker, but I have to say that I love love love this site and always tell people about it. I really enjoy all things Pajiba: the reviews, comments, diversions, love, round-ups, everything. I even canceled my subscription to Entertainment Weekly because of you guys -- there was just no need for it anymore! And, ooooo boy, I love me some FourFour as well (Vag-arms and Winston, woot!!), so apparently I have splendid taste. Happy new year, everyone.

Woo-hoo! Happy New Year, everyone. Y'all seriously help me through the workday/schoolday/whatever day it happens to be for me at the moment.

*Sigh*

That's what I get for being on an Internet inaccessable vacation. Is it too late to cash in on my 15 seconds of fame? Although, like many others, I'm a bit frightened by how much I've been posting. Not that I'll stop, mind you.

I normally hate end of the year lists. I always disagree with them, and they always tend to cause more arguments than they're worth.

However, in this case, I'll make an exception. The writers on this site definitely do their thing, but the commenters listed above (even if it's more a numbers game) definitely have provided some hardcore entertainment ever since I came to this site. Cheers to them and to everyone else who contributes to my enjoyment (because it's all about me).

I've already hit a few bumps in the road in 2008 but I'm excited to kick off a New Year nonetheless. Happy New Year to all, and to all a good... morning.

I was directed here from Go Fug Yourself, as well. Must have been about 3 years or so ago now ('05ish, I believe). I lurked for a long, long time, only seeing movies after reading the reviews on the site. I've only begun to comment within the past few months - mostly because I thought it was a little bit too nerdy to do so and also b/c most of what I had to say had already been said anyway.

Anyway... I'm STILL recovering from NYE and trying to scan Pajiba at work w/o getting caught. I'm convinced that this site is gonna get me fired someday soon. Let's hope that is not the case. I'm just happy that our site-blocking program here hasn't caught Pajiba yet!

I love it! I joined the team a tad late, after the whole DHS debacle, but have grown to truly appreciate this place for what it is: a community in the true sense of the word.

A word of advice: Tequila, like reality, is a cold kick in the crotch. Yes, I'm still recovering, too.

Seriously, to all my comment section brethren (and sistren, lest I incur undue wrath), much love and may we all have a happy, contentious, year.

Oh, and the reviewers, too.

Thanks for the recognition and giving me something to do while at work. Happy 2008 everybody in Pajiba land!

"A word of advice: Tequila, like reality, is a cold kick in the crotch. Yes, I'm still recovering, too."

I tend to see Tequila as being a warm and comforting fog that seeps into your being and slowly strips you of memories, dignity and the ability to form coherent sentences.

And for that I love it so very, very much.

Let's hear it for two day hangovers!

I too, was directed to Pajiba by Go Fug Yourself. More specifically, Jessica Alba's ass on a Pajiba link led me here.
I am de-lurking just long enough to thank the writers and commenters for the most entertaining site on "the internets". You give me a reason to get up in the morning.

I, too, found this site via Go Fug Yourself and am so happy to have joined the Pajiba community. I don't comment often as it seems someone else has already said what I would have written. This year, I aspire to be a more active comment contributor.

I enjoy the biting wit I find here, the insightful reviews, and the exposure to movies I've never seen and wound up loving (Millions just arrived via Netflix today and I can't WAIT to watch it). The cherry on top is that I've been introduced to great blogs (like alabamapink's) that I now visit regularly.

Cheers to the staff and commenters alike--you rock!

I generally used to check Pajiba randomly but after the "Grey's Anatomy" real-time reviews began on a weekly basis, I was hooked daily. Those were so hilarious, pretty much the reason why I am sad about the writer's strike. I became a believer when "Drop Dead Gorgeous" was reviewed with praise. so smart! xoxo

I've been reading this site for as long as I can remember, and while I'm not a frequent commentor, I still can't get enough of it. It's more than just the funny, intelligent writing on movies, TV, and pop culture; you guys (and gals) have refined the way I view movies and TV. This site is like graduate level reading in film. I can analize movies better, I can judge them better, and I can form my opinions about what I like and dislike about movies better because of the work you all do (and no, I don't just repeat everything you say verbatim, sometimes I think you guys are full of it). You have made movies more enjoyable for me, you've exposed me to things I would never have thought I would be interested in, and more than once you've saved my butt from shilling $10 for something I thought I would like, but would have ultimately been dissappointed in. And I am forever in your dept because of it. I didn't mean to sound so sentimental, but I meant all of it.

As for the commenting, wow, you all are amazing, and I am gratful to all of you. I can't tell you the number of times you've given me ideas for movies and things to see and do. One time that imediadtely come to mind is the guide writen about the best childrens movies. The main guide it's self was wonderful and brought back many memories, but the comment section is where I was recomended to many other fantastic movies, some I hadn't seen since I was a wee lad, and some I'd somehow missed, that were incredible. Sometimes I don't even get through a whole day's posts on Pajiba because I'm lost in the comments section.

Thank you all for your invaluable words, and I look forward to seeing you all throughout 2008!

Proud to be Pajiban!

This site is one of the highlights of my work day.

PS - I work for a tv station.

Thanks for all you do Pajiba. Best site out if you ask me.

I have missed you all! I haven't posted in a while, but it is a singular honor to even be mentioned among such Illiminati (or is it Dillusionati?)
Anyhoo- Carry on, you squirrel-chucking mongoloids!
PAJIBA FOREVER!
