A lot of it is too cookie cutter for me to really get into, although their later stuff gets better. Basically, the closer they got to Mr. Bungle-era Patton, the better. Mr. Bungle certainly f***ing owns, as does Tomahawk (another of Patton's projects post-FNM). Moral of the story: Patton is a really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really good vocalist.

Perhaps it's just this specific performance, I don't know.

QUOTE (GoSox05 @ Nov 2, 2011 -> 01:19 PM) Saw The Rum Diary last night. Really liked it. I'm seeing it this weekend... can't wait. The reviews don't look that good, but they weren't good for Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas either, and that was a fantastic film. What they really need to do is make Hells Angels into a movie. That was an excellent book.

Assuming you mean songs that specifically reference drug usage, as opposed to songs that are very obviously composed stoned, these definitely belong in the conversation: If it's the latter, that opens up a whole new bag of worms, but the Desert Sessions Vol. 1 & 2 is up there: Cowards Way Out

I don't understand how any non-Cardinal fans can possibly be rooting for TLR right now.

I don't really give a f*** about college football, but I happen to have the Minnesota/Nebraska game on and just saw possibly the worst rule ever be enforced. On fourth and two, Nebraska tried to convert a backwards pass, but it was dropped by the receiver. However, he batted it forward past the first down marker, and since they touched it last, they got a first down out of it. Holy jesus that's awful.

QUOTE (JoeCoolMan24 @ Oct 20, 2011 -> 02:44 PM) Saw Fight Club last night for the first time. We never finished the movie, but I was not a fan. It was weird and kind of confusing. I already know the twist ending (dumb girls), which just made it even more weird to watch because if he has two personalities, then how are people interacting with both characters are once? It would have made more sense for the rest of the people in the movie to only acknowledge one person at a time. Maybe it was just because I was expecting a movie just about people who started a street fighting club and beat ass all movie and not some twist ending movie about a guy w/ split personalities. I dunno, I just wasn't impressed by a movie that people my age cream themselves over. This post is hilarious. All I'll say about Fight Club (and this post, for that matter) is that it completely changed how I listen to the song "Where Is My Mind?"

QUOTE (farmteam @ Oct 20, 2011 -> 08:13 PM) I can certainly understand not liking the music; there's music you've said you like that I can't get into (most of Ween, for example). But why is the name bad? Because the whole point of punk originally is that it was a counter culture to pop and accepted styles of music. The fact that the pop genre has decided to hijack that movement and its sound for their own benefit annoys me to no end. I don't listen to pop music for the most part, so it doesn't really bug me that people don't like the type of music I listen to. Most of my favorite bands (Ween, Mr. Bungle, Zappa to name a few) aren't an easy listen the first time around, which turns a lot of people off of them. It's a completely different musical experience than that of Fallout Boy/any other radio friendly band.

QUOTE (farmteam @ Oct 20, 2011 -> 05:40 PM) I figured this would be the most common rebuttal, and I can definitely respect that one. For me, like I said, I'm a sucker for anything with a decent melody and lyrics that are fun to sing along to, and a lot of Pop Punk bands have that. I won't necessarily think it's good, but I'll enjoy listening to it. It's the equivalent of watching a crappy comedy movie. You might know it's bad, but still laugh a fair amount. I still maintain that "pop punk" is the stupidest name of a genre possible. Add in the fact that the music sounds like nails on a chalkboard to me, and yeah, I don't have any respect at all for Fallout Boy or any similar band.

QUOTE (bigruss22 @ Oct 17, 2011 -> 11:35 PM) After getting Milkman's PM, yea it makes a lot of sense of what he told him. But, Rick also mentioned on the radio to Morgan that the doctor told him something, so would that matter or is that still Rick trying to find a source he can just talk out loud to. If it's staying true to the graphic novel at all, then I'd suspect he's just trying to find a source to talk to about it. That being said, I can't see them sticking to the graphic novel for all that long... it gets dark pretty quick.

QUOTE (Milkman delivers @ Oct 17, 2011 -> 01:06 AM) I'm pretty sure I know what the secret is after doing just a little research into the comics. I won't even put the answer in here as a spoiler, but let's say that That's definitely what it is.

I don't think it was either. They started off strong with the scene with the horde and thankfully didn't break that up, but after that it seemed like there was a commercial every 5 minutes. I'm all about supporting shows while they're on the air, but if they're going to impact my enjoyment of the show with the amount of commercials, I'm going to do what I can to avoid it.

QUOTE (Milkman delivers @ Oct 16, 2011 -> 09:46 PM) Walking Dead was pretty good, but I could have done without all of the commercials. Hour and a half episode, but about 40 minutes of commercials. I swear at one point they returned from commercials, had a minute-long conversation, and went right back to commercials. Definitely agreed about the commercials. If this continues next week, I'm just going to start torrenting them right after the episodes air. It was absurd.

QUOTE (Rowand44 @ Oct 14, 2011 -> 05:46 PM) I'm pretty sure every pg in the nba could do that. Spoken like someone that never watched Johnny Flynn or Sebastian Telfair play regularly.

Alley hoop? What?

I mean, say what you want about the NBA and Rajon Rondo, but there isn't anyone else in the game today that could do this:

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Oct 13, 2011 -> 10:31 PM) I watch it. I was really close to dropping it, but tonight was ok enough to keep me interested. Season 1 was epic, I kept waiting for season 2 to be as good and it just couldn't get there (though the paintball scenes with Josh Holloway were pretty dope), and season 3 had been rough up until this one. I wish Chang had just stayed a Spanish teach. Episodes where they work him in too much are just miserable. I strongly disagree with you about season 2. I thought it was fantastic. Hyperbole alert: The D&D episode is one of the best sitcom episodes I've seen in a long, long, long time.

After a couple of stinkers, Community picked it back up tonight with an excellent episode. Not sure if anyone watches it in here since there generally isn't too much talk of it, but if you stopped after the first few of this season, give it a shot. It's good.

QUOTE (Brian @ Oct 12, 2011 -> 08:02 PM) The Trip is streaming on Netflix I really enjoyed the Trip. Saw it a few months ago.. a lot of fun. The end was quite abrupt, however. Still unsure how I feel about it.

QUOTE (Milkman delivers @ Oct 10, 2011 -> 11:48 PM) I saw you typing and I was scared you were going to say something to hurt my case So I'm not alone here in being dumbfounded? Not at all. It was as clear as possible.

QUOTE (Milkman delivers @ Oct 10, 2011 -> 10:39 PM) I understand that you've resigned yourself to that being true, but you're playing it off like there was good reason to doubt it at first. There wasn't. I think at this point he's just doing whatever he can to prove his signature correct.

QUOTE (Brian @ Oct 10, 2011 -> 08:32 AM) Not a BB spoiler but... I don't see it. I think he's going to get his, one way or another. Next season basically has to be about Hank tracking him down, and with Gus' death in connection with Tio (former cartel), Hank almost certainly has the pull to investigate Gus' death. And since we all know Gus was videotaping the meth lab, there could be a lot of evidence that Walt was behind it all. Add in Jesse likely eventually figuring out Walt poisoned the kid and gaining motivation to turn on Walt, and next season is going to be some fun.
