I've not heard a vast amount of their records but what I've heard has been really great stuff.

There's a really good version of Macbeth with Patrick Stewart from a couple of years back, set in an underground bunker type thing, somewhere undefined but oppressive and vaguely fascist in central Europe. The time period is deliberately ambiguous as well; it certainly fits quite well with a post-apocalyptic…

I drew the line at Strippers vs. Werewolves.

The A.V. Club
cultural shibboleths

It was a really, really good EP, too.

Viking metal is basically amazing. I was so, so pleased to discover that it was an actual real thing.

I've been able to watch goddamn Requiem for a Dream more times than I've been able to watch this. I have a couple of DVDs (e.g. Martyrs) that are purportedly even more soul-crushingly horrible, and I'm fairly sure I can consign them to the "nope never going to watch that" pile.

I always thought Cujo was a film about a bear.

I now can't get out of my head that Orens is a currency in some game and I'm going to have to google it.

I'll be back shortly, just going to have a bit of a crisis about both a) remembering this entire ad in detail, and b) it being 20 years old.

I really liked Tron Legacy, primarily because it was the Most 80s Thing Not To Be Made In The 80s.

Minority Report the film isn't bad. I just wish that they'd stuck closer to the short story, which had a vastly better twist, and cast a human being instead of Tom Cruise.

Disintegration is still basically my favourite album of ever; I think I've bought about 4 copies of it over various formats (tape, CD, CD again because I lost the first one, reissued 3-disc all the everything edition).

Heartwork is, for me, one of those rare albums that I think is utterly brilliant despite not otherwise being particularly keen on the genre/band.

I keep reading/hearing the awful Big Sean line as "I’m a dick-girl addicted to you".

I can see why you would rate that your favourite. I've not listened to all that much Dir en Grey (like, one album and a few other tracks here and there) but I can see their style would work really well touring together with Deftones. Were Dir en Grey still rocking the visual kei stuff at the time?

This is the only comment I've understood so far. The entire post and comments thread is like some kind of alternate-universe internet that I accidentally connected to.
