Metal Reviews

Yes, it was. Tobey Maguire is such a little pussy, and a terrible actor.

Ahhhhhhhh Tibet aInt Thant bad!!! I liked the spidermans movies. And what's her name! Marry Jane rotten crotch is kinda hot. She is buxom?

Sony has to keep making movies with a certain frequency (an actual part of the contract) in order to not lose the movie franchise rights .. hence the continual reboots of various comic book properties.

I would LOVE to see Marvel regain the spiderman movie rights, along with fantastic four and x-men.

While x-men/spidey will probably never happen, FF may revert at some point.

Took my son to see Wreck It Ralph. Was good.

You should look up the documentary "Last Days Here". All about Bobby Liebling and Pentagram. I bet you'd dig it.

Is it on DVD?
I'll see if I can track it down, thanks.

I watched it on Netflix so I'm sure it's on DVD somewhere.

Saw Skyfall last night.

First off, a half hour of previews is bullshit. Tom Cruise and Arnold are so old that they are caricatures of themselves at this point. The Hobbit looks cool for what it is.

As for Skyfall, it wasn't that great, but it wasn't necessarily bad. It's everything you've already seen and I mean literally the movie was a pastiche of things I've seen in other films, but it did them well at least. I'd rate it a 5/10 no qualms about it. Neither good nor bad. There are worst ways to spend two hours, but there is a long list of other things you could probably be doing instead.

Critically, the Bardem being dressed up like a cop bit was basically the Joker's ploy in Dark Knight, right? And as for the siege ending, how many times do I need to see shotgun shells turned into mines? Like seriously, Burn Notice does it every episode. They did it in an episode of Highlander. It was seriously uninspired. I also think Judi Dench put the shotgun shells upside down, which irked the hell out of me. She put the primer up, so the shot was directed back towards the socket and hence wouldn't shoot down I don't think. As for the chase scene over Turkey's bazaar (I already saw that in Taken 2) and the Shanghai scenes (seemed right out of Dark Knight as well), I just am tired of seeing films made in these places. The whole time I was thinking of how the tax breaks lead Hollywood companies to film elsewhere to avoid the movie workers' union costs. My own personal issue obv. And the repetitive trope of "Bond is old" got old real fast. Plus, do we really need a film that implicitly argues for the continuing of the series? People would keep going to see Bond whether he is obsolete or not, assholes. And the sequencing of him meeting Moneypenny at the end made no sense to me but I'm also not a Bond afficionado. As for Bardem, he was cool, but how much was riding on him being weird because he was gay?

My favorite. Had the poster above my desk in my old apartment. De Niro is such a badass and Bickle is such a classic character. Loved that film since the day I first saw it. I remember hearing about it at the lunch table in middle school, guys at my sister's table were talking about the drawer slide rail. And lo and behold it wasn't an action film at all when I finally got to watch it.

It's a true work of art and every time I watch it I feel like I just got kicked in the stomach. One of those rare movies that forces you to look at things most would rather not see.

You know me I love to read into shit, but the movie presents such a visceral ass-kicking like it literally hits you in your stomach as you put it that it's a hard movie to really analyze the way I do most films. It presents an almost honest account I feel like. There is something to it that when you watch it you just can't shake that really haunts you.

this looks intense and interesting

Argo - pretty good, nice slice of history and Ben Affleck is turning into a decent director.

Stupid Fucking movie and far from the truth. Makes the Canadians look like they don't know what the fuck they were doing. Save your jokes, if we didn't know what we were doing then we wouldn't be here right now.

Didn't see anything anti-Canadian, so unless they changed something? Was told afterwards that the detail about them being turned away by the British and New Zealand consulates was nonsense, the Canadians were furthest away - so I know it's not wholly true.

Skyfall

Anybody who didn't like this needs to get off Sean Connerys dick and enjoy a modern Bond movie.

Nothing really wrong said about Canadians, but the movie makes it so that Americans get all the credit when it couldn't be further from the truth. In fact the Canadian ambassador and other Canadians did most of the heavy lifting. The CIA played a much smaller role than implied in the movie.

All in all, If you take Argo as a fictional movie and forget about the "historical" aspect, it is pretty entertaining.

Skyfall

awesome movie.

Global Metal, follow up documentary to Metal: A Headbanger's Journey, and it's much more interesting, I thought the first one was good apart from lacking more discussion of death metal, or any discussion of doom metal, but this one dives into metal from Brazil, China, Japan, Indonesia, India and the Middle East, there's a very interesting interview with a metal fan from Iran that really does provoke a great deal of thought
