It's fascinating how Chuck becomes a subtle villain. He is so much like Jimmy, both con men, but without the humanity. Jimmy would not truly hurt his brother and even the open with the dying mother reveals another sort of grieving. Jimmy needs some time apart and seems genuinely devastated to learn his mother is gone.

That might be my favorite, too. The title track is my favorite song of the band's, but I also am very partial to Hell Awaits and the bizarre melding of prog(?) and Venom that is written all over that tortured mess of an album.
You really can't go wrong with the first five, though.

They have "Angel of Death" and that more than suffices.

The Motorhead version of Whiplash I will always sing loud and proud!

This was better than the previous episode, which is not saying much. There were some creepy bits about the west coast being demolished and a loss of contact with the outside world. However, the drama drags and any interest is fleeting. This show lumbers along much like it's seldom seen undead denizens.

This interview was about as much of a ramble as the song but not as coherent.

Poor Bob.

Boris Karloff as Frankenstein's Monster.

This is a cool band, reminiscent of MC5 and The Stooges. They are a fascinating missing link in the music's evolution.

I saw this director's take on CALIGARI and found that interesting and respectful of the original source material. This could be at the very least, a good conversation piece. NOSFERATU certainly does not need another remake but I am not lighting the torches and gathering the mob for this one…even if the term "remix"

You Fight The Good Fight, obviously.

Kim really does love Jimmy and it made her (beautifully delivered) speech all the more poignant.

In fairness, James Woods kicked ass in that movie.

Worst film? Have you SEEN Ghosts of Mars?

All I could think while watching this episode was, "Oh great, a group of Ricks!"

Fred Williamson films should have been more fun, then again, "Three The Hard Way" does feature him and that one is probably the most ridiculous of all the Blaxploitation films.

I thought Black Gestapo was a lot of fun. It was of course, really bad taste, but that's probably why I was there.

I miss WW2 games. I think with the technology available now they could make them fairly terrifying.

It carried both messages, the latter unintentionally. As Spielberg himself noted, it was almost impossible not to make these men seem heroic considering what they were fighting for.

The Longest Day is still damned good. Even the equally great, The Big Red One, could not hope in capturing the detail in carnage that Speilberg's masterpiece did.
