So after a rather long hiatus from LJ (well, a long hiatus for me, anyway-which is basically like a week) I am back from my Spring Break

I am so sad that you didn't thoroughly enjoy Unforgiven. Perhaps I'm a bit biased since it was filmed in these here parts, but I find it to be just a tremendously well-put together movie. For one, it's gorgeous (biased or not) and I just thought it was an excellent character study about how a man can never truly escape what he once was.
As for SSMB, I've toned down my playing of it lately, and I still go with my ol' Sheik standby for the most part, as well as Pikachu or Ganondorf. The best new characters for me are Pit and Meta Knight. I usually get too frustrated at playing games on the Intense level, so I don't give those too many tries, though I may end having to if I want to unlock EVERYTHING.
Hahaha, I'm sorry about Unforgiven. I feel bad I didn't enjoy it, too! Especially as everyone loves it. Perhaps I just need to give it another watch. I do agree that the movie is gorgeous. I do love how realistic the settings and costumes are (I'm a sucker for that kind of stuff). However, the problem for me is just the archetypes and different devices/elements that are so typical of Westerns. I have a hard time with Westerns in general...I have yet to put my finger on why. Any Western recommendations besides "Unforgiven" that might change my mind? I really do hate being so biased against a category

As for other Westerns, well Silverado for one. Just an amazing movie that. Click on the westerns keyword at Top Five for more reviews, there are a lot of good ones. The Assassination of Jesse James was also quite great... also filmed 'round these parts. :D
Oooh, really? What is different about Spaghetti Westerns from regular Westerns? In spite of my dislike of Clint's performance in "Unforgiven", I might give those Spaghetti westerns a look.:)
Yeah, haha, I am so excited. I love RD J.R, but it's been forever since he's been in a movie (the last movie I saw him in was in "Kiss Kiss Bang Bang", which I really enjoyed). I know he was in one other recent movie, Charlie Bartlett, but that just looked like such a rip off of "Ferris Bueller's Day Off", I didn't even bother.;)
