    I am not a jonah hill fan, but I cannot help feeling kind of bad for the guy. He lost all of this weight and now we are saying we want him to be fat again? That is really twisted.

  • Don’t feel bad for Jonah, the guy has more money than god. Unless he’s got a major league weekly nut to pay out.

    Dear Dustin:

    Every weekend, it seems, old(er) articles that are for the most part dead find their way back close to the top of your wondeful site's main page. Today, it was the reviews of The Help and Rise of the Planet of the Apes. This is becoming slightly annoying. Could you please get your crack IT staff (numbering in the dozens, I am sure) to determine why this happens and how to correct it? Thank you so much in advance.

    You do realize that it's because they received the most comments, right?

    Actually, I think Dustin and his crack IT staff move all the actual movie reviews of currently playing movies to the top of the site at the end of the week (some of the reviews having appeared on, say, Wednesday).

    The "Weekly Murdertank" post is probably populated with the posts that receive the most comments.

    Right on, MM -- I bumped those reviews b/c both of those movies are faring better at the box office than the four new releases this weekend. And the Weekly Murdertank is populated with the posts that receive the most page views.

    Rowles you don't have to explain nothing to these guys, there're just here to break balls. Why the fuck should they care if a review is at the top of the page or whatever? You want a fucking movie review, then go to fucking rotten tomatoes. Pajiba is just like Gotti’s hunt and fish club, we march to our own fucking beat.

    That's all I really needed to know. Thank you.

    And, Pookie, you accusing someone else of breaking Dustin's balls? Ever hear of the pot and the kettle, buddy?

    I really don't know what "Gotti's hunt and fish club" is about, but I like it.

    Thats Jonah Hill?.......I thought it was Tom Sizemore after a stint in rehab.
