Metal Mike is a class act and Rob Halford is the Metal God. Period.

I shouldn't be coming in this thread anymore because I don't want to see spoilers, but I just had to say I'm very disappointed that I didn't make it out to see Rambo tonight. I've been dying to see this movie for a long, long time now. The good news is I'm going to see it Sunday night with a friend and will post up my thoughts as soon as I can. Cheers to the other Rambo fans on here who've seen it.

Ashlee's hot. Despite what's often "blogged" about her, I've met her before and think she's a real sweatheart. I dig her music, too. Jessica not so much, in either department. Not to turn around and bash the girl's sister, but Jessica's just not my type and I never got the ... hype. I swear I didn't mean to rhyme that. But yeah, people need to give these girls a break already.

This and the Mars photos the other day? Real or not, I need something exciting to start talking about. It begins...
#1185 Re: The Sunset Strip » Star Trek XI - New Trailer Released » 909 weeks ago
Lame trailer. I'm really not a fan of Abrams and his hype machine mentality.
But Winona Ryder's hot.

I'd also go with you if I lived closer. I wouldn't mind seeing them again this tour and I know how it feels because I had to go see them alone last time, too. Just nobody else could afford and I'd just broken up with my girlfriend at the time. Weird time. Whatever, but good luck and I hope you go anyway. I went anyway and had a great time. Don't let it get you down. Do it for the kids.

I can't wait. I'm seeing it first chance I get tomorrow. Oh, here's a better review....
RAMBO
Review By: Mr Disgusting
Rating: 4/5 Skulls
I love that the '˜80s are making a triumphant return and attempting to bring us twenty-something's back to our childhood. Last year we were treated to films like TMNT, DIE HARD and even TRANSFORMERS, while 2008 is set to kick off with the return of John Rambo in Lionsgate's RAMBO. As much as I enjoyed those films, there was one single thing missing from them - the feel of the '˜80s. RAMBO takes the cake as one of the best all-time throw back movies to ever grace the big screen. Stallone, who wrote and directed the film, knew exactly what the film was and didn't do anything to sway from that. Forget modernizing and attempting to improve upon'¦ why fix something that isn't broke.
In Thailand, John Rambo (Stallone) assembles a group of mercenaries and leads them up the Salween River to a Burmese village where a group of Christian aid workers allegedly went missing
RAMBO is your run of the mill '˜80s action movie loaded with guns, explosions and great one-liners. Stallone gives John Rambo little dialogue and enough gusto to carry the movie with sheer facial intensity. Rambo is better than ever and fighting for only one reason'¦ because it's in his blood. No other reason needed. And just like all of the other great action films like ALIENS, RAMBO has an entire cast of Army punks who are your typical tough, over confident jerks who are willing to give up their lives because that's what they were born to do. Once Rambo earns their respect, they team-up and head off into one of the bloodiest battles in the history of 80s action films (remember, we're back in 1986).
Imagine bombs blowing up, peoples legs flying off, children dying, 80,000 head shots, knife gutting and we can't forget a game where landmines are placed in the water and POWs are forced to run through the water as the captors bet on who'll survive. RAMBO wasn't made for you to think, it was made to blow YOU out of the water with insane action and violence.
Although most of the dialogue is laugh out loud funny, and the storyline completely ludicrous, RAMBO is pure adrenaline for your soul. Get ready for one of the most violent rides of your life and for a trip back to the '˜80s when films were made to be mindless fun. John Rambo is back and better than ever.

Wow, I ran in here after reading this over on Blabbermouth. Knew you guys would already have a handle on it 
That's the rumour that I've heard too, good for him.
Sounds like great band communication going on right now. Telling, isn't it? This is the defining quote of the piece, for me.
This is a great band and I'm proud to be a part of it, but it doesn't define me any more.
In other words, "I'm done with this shit." Can you read that any other way?
#1189 Re: The Sunset Strip » Title of new James Bond film revealed » 909 weeks ago
Best soundtrack for sure. I love Duran Duran. Can't get behind you on best film though, despite my love for the Moore era. Not his worst though. Walken and Grace Jones made a badass killer combo.
Roger Moore, in order from best to worst:
Live and Let Die
The Man with the Golden Gun
For Your Eyes Only
Octopussy
The Spy Who Loved Me
A View to a Kill
Moonraker
By the way, by worst I don't mean any are bad movies. Moore's Bond kicks ass.
#1190 Re: The Sunset Strip » Title of new James Bond film revealed » 909 weeks ago
In my own defense, Eon's teased that title before without biting. For the producers who felt compelled to change "Licence Revoked" to "Licence to Kill" because they feared Americans wouldn't understand what "Revoked" meant, I'd be surprised if the mouthful that is "Quantum of Solace" actually sticks this time. If it does ... whatever. Their days of coming up with strong titles ended when the Fleming well started to run dry. Hell, I still remember when "Die Another Day" was "Beyond the Ice."
Anyway, James, yes Dalton is absolutely my favorite. It's funny he gets a lot of hate flung his way, I think it's because, being Bond for only two films and playing the character dramatically different than Roger Moore had before him, Dalton was never identified as Bond by an entire generation the way Connery or Moore or even to some extent Brosnan was. He's got the George Lazenby syndrome, except Lazenby sealed his own fate by bitch talking his way out of a second turn and having the quentessential Bond of Connery come back out of retirement for a special engagement to essentially re-replace himself, leaving Lazenby all but irrelevant. For Dalton, "Licence to Kill" was so dark and so poorly promoted and undersold, going into production during a writer's strike (deja vu), coupled with competition from the likes of Burton's "Batman" and "Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade," unfortunately it ended his tenure with a whimper and not a bang. By the time all of Eon's legal shit got sorted out in the mid-90s, Dalton had walked and left us with the foppish Pierce Brosnan. Now, Brosnan was directed well in "GoldenEye," his best turn as Bond, by Martin Campbell. Since Campbell then returned to direct Daniel Craig in "Casino Royale," it's really up to this second movie to make or break him in the role. The quality of Brosnan's films as Bond overall sucked, and I just never thought he was quite right.
My favorite Bond movies:
"Live and Let Die"
"Licence to Kill"
"Casino Royale"
My favorite Bond girls:
Maryam d'Abo, "The Living Daylights"
Eva Green, "Casino Royale"
Britt Ekland, "The Man with the Golden Gun"
My favorite Bonds:
Timothy Dalton
Roger Moore
Daniel Craig
I like making lists.
