Countdown over Peace Sells?  Sheesh.

Municipal Waste is lightweight (though they can play).  If I might plug something I'm tangentially involved with: http://www.youtube.com/watc…  Those guys are true heirs to DRI and SOD.

The production works fine for that album and its songs and subject matter. 

I like some of both.  But with death and black metal both kind of disappearing up their own asses lately (love ya Profound Lore, but would it kill your bands to write one memorable riff, like ever?), thrash is comforting to me.  It has the basic catchiness and song form of traditional metal, but the speed and

The midway point when you can't tell if a band is playing thrash or death or black is, to my way of thinking, as good as extreme metal got.  And a lot of those bands sound anything but weak.  Merciless, Possessed, Dark Angel, Kreator, Sodom, Messiah, Agressor, Electrocution… holy shit, those are good bands.

Thanks, I needed a laugh.

You've got a little something on your… no, other side.  No, above that.  Fuck it, just start wiping your fingers around, it's everywhere.

I want the Postal Service with Page from Helmet to be a thing.

I'm still sitting on my spec script for "Brokeback Valley."  Not sure why Hollywood isn't beating down my door, but Harry Knowles offered me $28 million for the option.

There should just be a show where he tells celebrity stories.  If he's already used the good ones, just hire writers to make up crazy new ones and let Murphy tell them as if they're true.

It's rice-flavored!

Welcome to heavy metal.  Here's your complimentary cartoon-goat beer koozie.

It's not that hard.  I'll transcribe for you:

TROPE JOKE

The painting, I assume.  That's an amazing sequence.

I hope you love it as much as I do.  It's the all-time best Twilight Zone as far as I'm concerned.  What's so good about it is that the twist is really just gravy; if it was a one-room play that ended just before the twist kicks in, I'd love it just as much.

Totally this.  I love the episode and think it's a classic, but the story is really sickening in this inexplicable way - just the right mix of grotesque and ambiguous, and some of the best ideas present in the TV episode are pushed a lot further in the story because there are no limitations to have to stay inside of. 

The opening with Angel Eyes eating soup while staring down that poor soon-to-be-dead bastard is amazing.  Fair to say that "Inglorious Basterds" would be a very different movie without that example to build from.

Now up to 341.  Fuck it, I'll add my vote - 342.  The people have voted, Bobbles, and it turns out you're a moron!

Nah - the show has to end with Raylan finishing the job he failed to complete in the pilot, and killing Boyd.
