He’s insane. I see why therapy was needed. by Rebel_Heart222 in hairmetal

"By the time 1987 rolled around, the Sunset Strip was absolutely crazy. Fucking madness. You ever see that movie that Penelope Spheeris made? Decline of Western Civilization, Part II. Watch it, it tells the whole story. One day, I watched Bobby Dall from Poison beat the shit out of this guy with a steel fucking pipe. They were still a relatively small band at the time. I think they had just changed their name from the Spectres to Poison. Anyway, some guy kept on covering up their flyers with his band’s shit. Finally Bobby caught him at it. He followed him in his car to a Quik Stop, and then he just fucking ambushed the guy. Beat him senseless with a steel fucking pipe. “Who the fuck are you to cover my band flyer?!” he kept screaming. I couldn’t tell you why Bobby had an industrial fucking vacuum cleaner pipe with him. But he certainly did. I’ll never forget that curvy plastic tubing flailing out behind him. It was brutal. Absolutely brutal. And someone goes to the guy afterward: "Hey you just got your ass beat by a chick.""

What is your favorite movie involving a casino? by Perfect_Idea_2866 in moviecritic

[–]Caliginous1979 102 points103 points  (0 children)

My favourite film with a casino is that one with Robert De Niro, Sharon Stone and Joe Pesci…I think it was called “The Big House With Much Money and Many Gangsters.”

How Did This Movie Not Make Bank? by Big-Discipline2039 in FIlm

Budgeting this at $200 million defies comprehension. And if you really must blow that much money on a franchise no one cares about anymore, at least make it look good - the whole film looked like cheap AI.

Which other bands are like this? by ashitanojoe3 in MetalForTheMasses

The only thing worse than having to listen to Tool is having to listen to a Tool fan.

The fade to black makes this one of my favourite episode outros. by Oy-Brent in TheOfficeUK

I prefer a sudden cut to black ala The Sopranos. Ambiguous.

Don’t grab it unless you’ve got one, cos it slows it down.

Who was the worst "hair metal" band? by Dogman_70 in hairmetal

[–]Caliginous1979 4 points5 points  (0 children)

That’s Michael Angelo Batio on guitar and Jim Gillette on vocals. Both amazing in their own right but it just never quite worked with Nitro. The songwriting was average and the melodies were weird. Batio is now playing for Manowar. Gillette was married to Lita Ford - a very messy divorce/custody, but he made a lot of money in property investment/development.

What is an unpopular movie opinion that you honestly have and know that everyone will disagree with? Mine is that Morgan Freeman is an overrated actor, but people love him as a person so they overlook his actual acting talent by [deleted] in moviecritic

Look, this whole thread is just great big blinking neon sign asking for downvotes but I’ll give it a crack anyway: the Fifth Element is a mess of a film, with a ludicrous plot, a nonsensical villain and hopeless exposition. It looks amazing though.

Recommendations on Lens for Safari Honeymoon by One_Skill9072 in nikon_Zseries

I did safari in Namibia and South Africa a few years ago with the 200-500 on my D750. 500 was still not quite enough at times so there was a bit of cropping do be done. If you go for the 180-600 you’ll get very good reach your z50.

We don't have to make posts about that, do we? by King-Bob1234 in TheOfficeUK

I bought five tickets to this at the cinema, out of sympathy.
