Honestly, the only decent thing about "Godzilla" is that Harrison Ford is in it.

For me, the funniest part of the whole movie was when they started shouting names at each other.
"Hey, John!" "What is IT, John?" "Where is John?" 😁
Or that bit with Harrison Ford's mustache and Elvis Presley... "Thank you very much!"

Here's another one for AS Monaco...

Anyway, can a moderator just start a new thread with a poll and then link this one to it? Is that even possible? 🤔 Though, from what I can tell, we probably don't even need to 😁

No, no, wait... the guy you guys are talking about is actually Lars Ulrich...

Kenneth Edwards3 said:I mean, there's no way he's such a huge prog fan that he'd actually make something like that now🙂!

What does that even mean? It's not like I'm some kind of Lars Ulrich.🙂 😁

I don't really know... 🤣 I think I heard it somewhere once...
...
typo 😁 you're probably the expert on this stuff 😛

but hey, maybe we should just switch up the topic 😁

Azgagoth, Shathret, Insahn, Euronymous, Varg... 🙄 😁

They were actually pretty solid... 🙄 🙂

If they weren't half as good without the vocals, then honestly, without him and the drummer, they wouldn't even be a quarter of what they are... 😁
And man, without him, the guitarist would just go totally off the rails.

Andrew Williams said:You think? You THINK? That’s not even a question! If I call you up at one in the morning and ask who sings for System of a Down, you better answer immediately: "It's 100% Serj!"

If it wasn't for him, System wouldn't be half as good as they are. SEEEEERRRJJJJJJ RULLLEEEZZZZ. AM I RIGHT OR AM I RIGHT? I'm right.

I mean, obviously his name is Serj, geeez 🙄 how could you forget that 😁
it’s just those Armenian last names that trip people up... like, he went by Tankian for like six months back in the day, right? 😛

Zachary Kern69 said:By the way, does anyone know the name of the guy who sings for System of a Down? That dude is an absolute beast!!!!

Pretty sure it's Serj Tankian (checked on Google and it's him) 😁

And check this out:

Optimist Or Pessimist

the optimist understands why the world's gone down the drain
the pessimist never bends, constricting thoughts in vain
from the pessimist's point of view there's nothing we can do
as I paint this picture gray and taste the pain
I'll play the optimist
...
if you want to change the world, forget it
the future's not in our hands
if you want to change the world, forget it
the cops already set in
(pessimist)

Garden Of Gray

And live the Politics of Ecstasy

----------------------
Politics Of Ecstasy

I hate you, the cops who turn the screws, I hate everything you stand for
I hate the world we've bred, political cops we've fed,
our fathers left us nothing but a dead world
...
The cops are fueled by greed, political ways obscene,
our fathers left corruption in this dead world
Beyond repair down is despair, our fathers left us nothing
Choking on the puke of their industry, regurgitated propaganda ministry

😁 😁 😉 (plus a bunch of other references where they don't explicitly say cops)

Andrew Williams said:It’s basically the equivalent of three weeks' worth of old horse manure wrapped up in the Star-Spangled Banner. Just pure, unadulterated, mindless patriotism.

Yeah, sure, go ahead and go obsess over Enterprise if you want. 😬

Anyway, honestly? You're better off just sticking with Nevermore... 😁 right, Justin Taylor?...
(I mean, they pretty much just call the US government "pigs" in their lyrics anyway)

swiftmaker20 said:Is there anyone here who actually listened to Nirvana while Cobain was still alive, or did everyone just start listening later on? I stopped listening to Nirvana around '98, but I first got into them around '92 or '93... and honestly, I didn't spend a single year mourning him.

I haven't a clue... 😁

I played them a little bit back in the day on cassette tapes. (Did I mention I still don't even own a CD player? Man, my childhood was rough... I didn't even have the time to sit around crying over Kurt 🙂 damn them all ) 😁

Anyway, In Utero is definitely my favorite album.

dustyscout53 said:If anyone can recall even one single coherent sentence from Natalie Portman that wasn't just a "hello," please post it here. If you do, I’ll shut my mouth for good. Seriously. 😁 😁

"Rafe Spall, you're such a jerk!"

I rest my case...

and he's better off this way... 😉 😁

Joseph Wilson9 said:I have to admit, I haven't heard of this name at all. Is this that "clinjo" guy who jammed with Vai during his concert in Ljubljana a few years back? I actually missed that one because of some stupid mistake by an agency that was supposed to handle my travel arrangements.

Please tell me you're joking... 😲 😎

Voted for Braveheart and American Beauty

I gotta say, I still haven't actually sat down to watch Forrest Gump 😳
Personally, I think A Beautiful Mind is one of those movies that didn't quite get its due. To me, the only thing that really worked was that chase scene and the paranoia at the start... everything else was just meh.

Tinker Bell said:👍 And if Leonard Nimoy were still around... he was such a huge fan.

He isn't the only one, though. 😬

Nobody even mentions King Crimson anymore... and honestly, they still go so hard

For me, it's gotta be Mike Oldfield 😍.

hollowseal33 said:I honestly can't for the life of me remember if Tool - Ænima is an album or just a song... and then I have to try and remember if it's the album title or the track name... 😁 I actually had this cover—I was swapping stuff with a friend from Australia—I gave her this basic one, and she told me, "No, get the one with the eye"... 😁 though personally, I think Lateralus is better than Tool - Ænima. But nobody ever seems to bring that up...

Man, I’ve always loved those covers where there isn't even any text on them... just plain & simple... they're so much more intriguing.
Lateralus is great too, though I think there might be some kind of limited edition version... maybe it's colorful? I don't know, I might have just misremembered something...
