I'm a massive, unabashed Metallica fan, but I couldn't even make it through half of this album. And just as a little experiment, I listened to St. Anger straight after, and by comparison it sounded like the world's greatest album. That's how bad this is.

Not as much as the Zed's Dead/Eagles album.

"Coroner's report: It's obvious from the outset that this kid didn't just OD. He space OD'ed! God damn you, nefarious space drugs!"

Yeah, that sums up pretty much exactly my experience with the show, but with the added alienation from not being American.

As opposed to the Perfect Strangers Balkinization?

It was pretty much all topical humor. I've seen a few re-runs here and there, and it's like watching a setient time-capsule. I mean that in a good way.

Flagged.

How much fuck Lack of Name?

Deep down aren't we all 25 year-old powerlifters?

Sorry, I will now comb through my life and make sure every fictional thing I like is thermodynamically accurate. I apologize profusely for not having done this sooner.

I got hella-fucked up the first time I watched Astro Boy's first episode. I was 6, and a show that starts with a kid dying, then has his father builds a godless abomination to replace him, fucked my head up real bad.

"Take care of yourself… and each other."

"U Got Ur Mercury In My Mars! U Got Ur Mars In My Mercury!"

Yeah, I seriously could not believe that lyric would be considered for use in any context, in anything, anywhere.

St. Anger would have been 1,000 times better if not for Lars insisting on using that fucking checkerplate steel snare for every. Single. Track.

There isn't a day that goes by without the Xenomorph household crankin' up some 'Tallica, but holy Jesus, I thought there was no way anything could be worse than St. Anger. Way to prove me wrong, assholes.

I like how you kinda get to see how the robots are figuring out how the energy of humans can be harnessed, via that mech covered in dudes in pods that  provide the power for the (I think) lightning weapon.

I mentioned above that I fucking love the Matrix Reloaded, but whoever thought having Laurence Fishburne start a shitty rave was a good idea should be shot.

Yeah, 'The Path of Neo' (I think that's what the game was called) sucked, but I played the shit out of it, just because it was the closest I could get to being the ultimate badass Neo ended up being. I doubt it'll happen but a good-quality Matrix game would be amazing!!!

The Second Renaissance bits were utterly fucking amazing! I'm an unabashed Matrix Reloaded lover, it's probably my favorite action flick (mainly because when I watch it I skip to the first fight with the upgraded agents, to the Burly Brawl, to the Château Mêlée, to the Freeway Chase, then I turn it off) but man, that
