I was very excited to see the American Reunion movie. I saw American Pie just after college and remembered it was quite funny.
Jim, Michelle, Oz, Heather, Stifler reunite for their high school...
It doesn't hurt that my taste in movies (and often music as well) is pretty similar to Russ's. Even better, though, I think over time he's evolved from very good to great as a writer here at CHUD. If I see his name attached to an article, I make it a point to read it even if I have little interest in the subject. He's top shelf, no doubt.
I'd love to join in this group orgy, but I can't say Russ' writing really stands out to me. Then again, sometimes I think Dre, Devin, and Jeremy only stand out to me for all the wrong reasons. Russ is consistent, but I couldn't think of one thing he's written off the top of my head.
Obviously I don't miss Russ' stuff, I just don't remember it afterwards. But like I said, that's not necessarily a bad thing. Devin is memorable for his evil troll vibe, Dre for his senile rambling, and Jeremy for his monocle and elite vocabulary. I'm not sure Russ has such a hook, which makes him a nice counterbalance.
