I knew it had "Neo" in it, from a recomendation from a co-worker. Saw it anyhow. Decent in my opinion, as excorcisms are always fun. :p

I just watched Ultimate Avengers. It had its moments, made a better Hulk movie than The Hulk. The resolution was sort of weak, people I saw it with wheren't even aware it had resolved. Resolutions in general are rather weak. "I say no." "For no reason given, I'm here." (Iron Man).

Pretty willing to be gnarly, no parachute coming out of every damaged plane. People get f'd up. It doesn't make as much out of the time gap for Captain America.

But the Hulk fight does make up for a lot in the movie.

Sesame Street was good, but appeals only to small kids.

The Muppet Show, however, was for all ages.

they didn't play much from st. anger (thankfully - though frantic is actually half decent live) but they just didn't have the energy that the music deserves. there was something missing.
seeing them a decade ago (or preferably more) would have been a worthwhile experience... but now... meh *shrugs*

Perhaps I shall taste them sometime, as I do like Black Sabbath. Currently, I'm rocking out to Kent, Gjallarhorn, Hedingarna, and, of all things, David Bowie.

Kent's pretty good in my opinion. If you ever check them out, and have to choose an album, pick "Hagnesta Hill" or "Vapen & Ammunition".

Gjallarhorn is Finlandssvensk folk music. Lots of strings, et cetera. I'm trying to acquire them as a taste.

Hedningarna (I mispelt the name in the previous post, as Sonaj points out (I noticed it before I read your post so, näh!)) are a Swedish folk band, I think, in the original conception. However, the band members vary from album to album, as does their "genre", according to me. It varies from peppy folk music with witch-like encantations (in Finnish) to old-timer polka. If you wish to check them out, I think you can sample songs on thier website. "Hedningarna" means "the heathens". Its gets the inner pagan inside rockin' (at least my inner pagan).

Its Swedish. I actually have trouble with the "n" in "Hedningarna". Kinda of clumsy to the English and other tongues apparently. I gotta control myself and not hijack this thread. I'm going to hold off for a bit and see if the thread revives itself. *slinks away*

the first, last, and as yet only dvd i have watched in my own home, now that i have a device, this computer, which incidently is still the only such device i have, capable of showing them, is/was ice age. which was btw, excellent.

it's a mostly furry animation for anyone who'se familiar with it. my one dissapointment is that its creators still felt it neccessary to include humans for story pathose.

i have seen other things on dvd in other places, like stores that sell them, conventions, and other people's homes. but this so far is the only one i've watched in mine.

(and not out of anything against, its just something very low on my roundtuit list)

But dicks also fuck assholes: assholes that just want to shit on everything. Pussies may think they can deal with assholes their way. But the only thing that can fuck an asshole is a dick, with some balls. The problem with dicks is: they fuck too much or fuck when it isn't appropriate - and it takes a pussy to show them that. But sometimes, pussies can be so full of shit that they become assholes themselves... because pussies are an inch and half away from ass holes. I don't know much about this crazy, crazy world, but I do know this: If you don't let us fuck this asshole, we're going to have our dicks and pussies all covered in shit!"
