Frank was definitely the weak link when i saw em but Dusty killed it, especially on their cover of 25 Lighters.

me and my friend later pondered over how much of the drunk white Connecticut casino audience knew that ZZ Top had covered a rap song about selling crack.

Their 25 Lighters cover is indeed dope. It's neat that they're so Texas that they're even into Texas rap.

I usually complain about excessive length but didn't feel that either of those films were too long.

The last time I remember seeing a movie with an overture and an intermission in the theater was Gods & Generals on opening night.

God, that was possibly the worst decision I've ever made.

This is why you turn your computer off every now and then instead of "once every shitzillion years." I run into the same problem occasionally.

When I was working in Baltimore, my company's IT director came up from Atlanta to do some equipment upgrades, including putting a poo poo-ton of more RAM in my work laptop. I hadn't shut it off in months and we literally waited for almost two hours before the updates finished.

Because why the gently caress would I not do that.

Well, I have a HTPC setup and watch stuff on my computer all the time and I often fall asleep watching something. Generally not anything I need to focus on, mostly stuff like old MST3K episodes. Also, I seed stuff I download off BitTorrent, and leaving my computer on while I'm asleep/not home is the best way to manage this without making my internet run slow as hell.

Houston rap is one of exactly three things about Houston that don't kinda blow.

Django isn't really overly long, it just has two climaxes and the first one is much stronger making the last act feel kind of meandering.

I rented it on video when it came out and I was like... 8?, and it was just the worst. The impression I've gotten is that it won't bore me to tears any less now than it did then.

There's a director's cut on Blu-ray that supposedly runs almost five hours. I don't think there's enough money in the world to make me watch that, and I have no idea how Ron Maxwell convinced Ted Turner to fund the movie out of his personal fortune.

Edit: 8? Jesus, that movie came out in 2003, you're a child.

I wish I could watch Hateful 8 in 70mm. I don't think there it would even be possible for it to come to Iceland because there is only one theater in the entire country which still occasionally shows movies on film and all their screens are too small.

I was 9 or 10, then, actually. Forgot what year it came out and was too lazy to google. And yeah, I'm 21, I'm probably on the younger end of goons.

I saw the original lineup of Black Sabbath in 2005 and that ruled.

Still kicking myself that I missed the Motorhead/Reverend Horton Heat ticket in Boston in 2008 or so, that would have been a great show.
I saw Ozzy solo a little over a month ago and he was pretty bad.

Although I saw Reverend Horton Heat in...yeah, actually that was probably 2008, and that loving ruled. That was my one and only time seeing them live.

Solving all of life's problems through enhanced casting of Occam's Razor. Reward yourself with an imaginary chalice.

I had a guy I used to work with who used to love to go to Ozzfest and metal/rock concerts. He said the most memorable moment was in...2006? I think? I may be remembering wrong but he said Zakk Wylde was playing with Black Sabbath at Ozzfest and he was really excited to actually see Ozzy sing with Black Sabbath. So it's like day 2 and Ozzy finally shuffles out onto the stage and the band starts playing the opening music to Mr. Crowley and the crowd is going nuts. Ozzy grabs the mic and yells

"MIIIIIISTER CROWLEYYYYY"

And stops and pauses because he has clearly forgotten the words as Sabbath launches into the rest of it. Wylde ran up and started singing the lyrics with Ozzy a few seconds behind, who eventually just stopped singing and started spraying the crowd with water guns or something like that.

The problem of excessive length is only so prominent because modern life is so frantic. If we abandon our capitalist ways any three-hour movie might be noticeably more enjoyable.

I think its kind of just that there are more long movies than good movies. When a movie is bad, a long running time magnifies the issues. When a movie is good, running time is not a factor of quality.

I'm off work the 17th and 18th, so my plan is to marathon A New Hope, Empire Strikes Back and Return of the Jedi during the day on the 17th, see The Force Awakens at night, and then on the 18th, if I like it enough and if it's not sold out, I'm gonna drive like 45 minutes away to the theater that serves food and see it again while eating a dope meal.

Yeah there's a solid decade+ of peanuts that's nothing like the stuff we're familiar with via the cartoons. Charlie Brown's more of an rear end in a top hat than a mope, too. That stuff's great. I mean I like the peanuts characters but their adventures just seem poorly executed a lot of the time, especially in elongated, poorly voiced acted cartoon form.
