    I like this. It’s so posty, I wanna pour milk all over it.

    Deffrey Goines commented on the post, 2013 FILM PREVIEWS: PACIFIC RIM 1 day, 1 hour ago

    I believe in GDT. Despite how much of a softball this premise appears to be, I think if anyone can make it great, he can. I think this will be deserving of a (sadly infrequent) trip to the cinema.

    Deffrey Goines commented on the post, IRON INQUISITIONS: WHAT COVERS HAVE TURNED YOU ON TO AN ARTIST? 1 day, 2 hours ago

    When I read the headline, I thought you meant album cover. Now that I know you actually meant cover song, I don’t have an answer to your real question. I’m not a big fan of cover songs, typically. When they’re […]

    Deffrey Goines commented on the post, “BE CAREFULLY”, BY RANDY BLYTHE OF LAMB OF GOD 5 days, 20 hours ago

    Even thought I saw the callback phrase coming a mile a way, and I feel the blaming/directives peppered in there were perhaps in slightly poor taste (one could extrapolate that by calling stagedivers entitled […]

    Deffrey Goines commented on the post, BREED 77 – THE EVIL INSIDE 6 days, 22 hours ago

    It’s interesting to me that you made the comparisons that you did, regarding the vocalist. I’ve only heard this one song from this band, and I don’t know much of Dramain’s work either, but I immediately heard […]

    Deffrey Goines commented on the post, RANDOM ROUNDUP: QUEENS OF THE STONE AGE, WHITE WIZZARD & ADE 1 week, 4 days ago

    I’m gonna go ahead and offer the Debbie Downer-est of all corrections:

    QUOTSA are not back to the same lineup. Natasha Shneider passed away in ’08. While her songwriting contributions probably aren’t anywhere […]

    Deffrey Goines commented on the post, REVIEW: IRON MAN 3 1 week, 4 days ago

    Black/Downey combo inspires a bit of hope that I’ll enjoy this movie. I haven’t really looked forward to a superhero movie for some time. (X-men 3, I think.) I’ll be checking this out for sure.

    Deffrey Goines commented on the post, “NOTHING’S FUNNY” FOR THE DILLINGER ESCAPE PLAN 1 week, 4 days ago

    Slowly but surely, this band is aligning more and more with bands like Coheed and Cambria and Protest The Hero. I’m not condemning them for their transformation. Bands are supposed to evolve. Evolution is great. […]

    Two things:

    First, I love your use of guitar as a verb. I am hereby stealing “guitaring”.

    Second, Decapitated are practically the only tech band I listen to because they are just so undeniable. Bordering on […]

    Somewhere along the way in my nearly 29 years on this planet, I’ve become a surly curmudgeon. I have just about zero interest in any of these except for The Iceman.

    Deffrey Goines commented on the post, 2013 FILM PREVIEWS: R.I.P.D. 2 weeks, 4 days ago

    So it’s Dylan Dog. Ok, I’m ok with them making a potentially decent version of a really lame film that had a cool premise. But I won’t tolerate any talk of it being innovative. Fingers crossed.

      Karl-J replied 2 weeks, 1 day ago

      I have a soft spot for Dylan Dog, but I agree that it would be nice to see a better version done. Both Bridges and Reynolds bring high likability to the table (at least for me), so I’m hopeful this will be decent and not just a bunch of CGI-centric bullshit.

    Deffrey Goines commented on the post, THE MONOLITH INTERVIEWS: ROBIN STAPS OF THE OCEAN 3 weeks, 4 days ago

    Great interview, chief. And I’ll mirror Angel’s sentiment that the Tarkovsky reference is actually a most intriguing aspect. While I haven’t seen Stalker, I love Solaris (both versions), I’ll be checking this out, […]

    You always drop the knowledge in a really fantastic way, man. Good on you.

    John Stanier can do no wrong behind the kit. He is simply incapable of a weak performance.

    I have this in my sleep/asmr playlist and fall asleep to it all the time (which I believe was his intention, based on his history). Great song.

    That picture really highlights how distracting the tattoo cover-up makeup was. In both this and in Bronson, I kept looking at his armpit/shoulder area going “why is it all crusty and scaly looking” and then I’d […]
