See, your sarcasm is palpable, obviously, but really, it just proves my point. Some people have decided they'll never respect them again no matter what they do.

No problem. I too was in the "Metallica sucks now" doldrums after seeing how far they'd fallen in the mid-2000s (I defended Load and Reload, I realize my opinion is in the minority there, but there is no defending that shitpile St. Anger, and the documentary and the Napster fiasco were a huge turnoff for me). Then…

See, this album to me sounds like just the thing that should please everyone who thought everything after the Black Album was "nonstop diarrhea" (actually, I thought Death Magnetic was a decent return to form at the time, but this one is even more so). I guess if you're turned off of the band permanently there's no…

Honestly, what can Metallica put out now that will make people happy?

This song is worse then GIMME FUE GIMME FIE GIMME JABADABZA. 


See, other than Hetfield's mic snafu, this performance was awesome, as this version goes to show. The cynics can suck it.

I sometimes wonder if it's worth it to go back and explore that show. I only caught bits of it when it first ran, back when Jessica Alba's tits and ass were all the rage but people didn't yet realize that she couldn't act her way out of a paper bag. I do like later slow-burn sci-fi like The Sarah Connor Chronicles and…

To be fair, he was never "captain", only Commander and Admiral.

We could have had a Mexican Picard. Edward James Olmos was considered for the role.

Finally, some nobody on a website has come forward to bash someone for taking the correct stance because they happen to be famous.

I remember that song. It was damn good.

You know what's been fucking with my mind a lot lately? Billy Joel's old song "Miami 2017 (Seen the Lights Go Out on Broadway)". May have just been right on the nose in terms of prescience.

…or lie ABOUT their dicks.

Probably for the best. Anyone who would use one of these things should maybe be taken out of the gene pool.

So much this. My girlfriend got an IUD and it's the best thing ever. Eventually I plan to get a vasectomy as well.

People are already willing to keep the NSA informed on their health stats and constant whereabouts via Fitbits and EZ-Pass. Now they can transmit their sex lives to the government as well!

Fucking finally: A "smart condom" that tracks your sex stats and hands them over to the NSA so they can poke their prying eyes into EVEN MORE of what you're doing.

Roger Waters - Amused to Death. Hard to believe he made it in 1992.

"You really are obsessed with sex!"
"Well YOU'RE the one who's drawing all the dirty pictures!"

I watched it again as an adult, and it was clear how cringe-humor the whole thing is. Leo is a smug, pompous asshole, and Bob is a legit stalker. It's still funny, but so much of it is just hard to watch.
