Still probably the scariest movie I've ever seen. It's where my name comes from!

That word is always funny in my head and then looks stupid when I actually use it.

They both are cool, but it's kind of like how "Hallelujah" gets a little harder to enjoy every time a hack singer muddies the waters by covering it.

Super lifehack tip: the Big Black station on Pandora will play nothing but killer 80s punk. It's the only online playlist/curator I know of that's totally foolproof.

Can we put a strict moratorium on people using the Unknown Pleasures cover for anything ever again? It's almost as bad as the Misfits skull.

Blade Runners HATE him!

Definitely agree; the scene where Glass and the Native American guy are catching snow on their tongues was actually a nice character moment, and I think some more little moments like that would have quietly fleshed out his character a little more.

The funny thing to me is I consider his performance the least memorable one in the movie. Tom Hardy was so much more interesting (although he arguably got more to work with).

That eerie, exciting feeling of stumbling across the source for a sample you know really well from an industrial song is a unique pleasure.

To be fair, a feature-length C&C cutscene is definitely something I'd pay to see.

The reviewer actually does spend a lot of time praising the technical prowess of this album, he just makes it clear that the message is too big a pill for him to swallow. I think it's a little hastily written and tonally scattered, but this isn't just a one-sided pile on Mustaine.

I just realized this movie is the source of a Skinny Puppy sample I'd been trying to place for like five years.

I didn't really care about this movie, but now I find myself wanting it to do really well just so Duncan Jones' year doesn't completely suck.

I like this new definition of hipster being "someone who might find something racist or misogynist"

Even in a genre where lyrics aren't a major focus, there's a basic level of competency that should be expected just so they don't get in the way.

This feels like my mom got married to a new man who makes me call him Goblin King but I KNOW he's not really the goblin king and IT'S ALL A BIG LIE

It's difficult to create a fun, tight set of gameplay rules that also mesh perfectly with a believable reality, so having an unreliable narrator gives the designers some much needed leeway.

That's kind of a blind spot for me since I never liked Re/Load enough musically to give them a full listen. I do know the lyrics are supposed to be really personal on those albums, though, which usually is a good thing.

Yeah, that's fair. It definitely is a larger issue than this one album, and I think coming down this hard on Mustaine without addressing the rest of the genre is a little misleading, even if he deserves it in this case.
Thinking about it now, it does seem like the best metal lyrics I can think of are the ones that were…

I think early Metallica wins on efficiency, at least; the lyrics weren't particularly creative but they got the point across without being pretentious or jaw-droppingly stupid.
