I'd imagine they have an overlapping fanbase.

What is considered unaccepably immoral imagery in metal?

There is some in the article to suggest it does meet with resistence from other bands - "Disma was only kicked off the Maryland Deathfest and Chaos In Tejas line-ups after other bands threatened to drop out" - though that only dismisses it. For a general readership, the criticisms are lacking context. What exactly is…

"Cinema still has an unaddressed Nazi problem", because Triumph of the Will and some low-budget film that played at a festival somewhere.

I think the title "Metal music still has an unaddressed Nazi problem" suggests some sort of collective responsibility.

Which isn't neceassarily a bad thing. Of course that's how Gruber would think - and his 'American impression' is pretty funny.

My own view (having left the state a few years back) is that same moderation (usually a virtue) has insulated a lot of the small town folk. There's not much sense of immediacy there, for better or worse.

Give it a few years. The Iowa legislature's been looking to Kansas, looking to Wisconsin, and thinking yep, that's the future. Gutting all our functioning public services.

Our state's politicians once prided themselves on quiet competence.Then it's like everybody decided to collectively go mad a few years back. Weren't Grassley and Branstad sane once?

The UK suicide-prevention group Samiritans released a similar app a few years back - it notified you if your Twitter friends were saying depressed things - but they shut it down amid privacy concerns. I'm not sure if this one will go the same route, with people getting pissed with how it labels them.

Interesting. I know different countries take different approaches to adapting international film to local standards of modesty.

Wrote, directed and starred in a film as a vengeful avatar of the oppressed. You'd have to be brilliant to not have that come off as grating under most circumstances, and in this one it added an inescapable layer of irony.

The southeast Asian style stuff tastes more sweet and milk-y than tea-y.

Being a Juggalo is ultimately a defensible life choice. This is just… man, I couldn't even finish reading the article without stopping for fear of nasueau.

That's a dang good list of films, most of which are better (and better-remembered outside of the Best Picture race) than both Shakespeare in Love and Saving Private Ryan.

My bad. Sorry. It was Saturday for me, too…

I know people in my friend circle who were excited for Lion, which gave us another point of reference and comparison when we watched the more critic-friendly Moonlight. Philomena gave me something to talk about with my mom, and I found I enjoyed it. I definitely wouldn't have seen it if it wasn't nominated. The Oscars…

Yeah it did win 6 Oscars - the most any film has since Return of the King for 2003. That's far form being ignored, even if many Academy voters still couldn't consider it worthy of winning the top awards.

Well, this ought to go over as well as that one headline:
"We love the new Dawes album, and here's why you should, too"
did six years ago. Crap, I've been on this site too long.

Even as a kid, I though the first one was pretty lifeless.
