Sucks that the guy had to go through all that. Hope he rests up and recovers real soon.

I didnt like it much when I first heard it, but it grew on me. By the time CD came out, I was disappoint the album didn't sound more like OMG (had avoided the leaks so I didn't know what to expect).
I suspect that the reason it didn't take off had more to do with people blaming Axl for the break up, and less to do with the quality of the song.
I tend to think that as well. Also the movie being not very good didn't help matters much either. Even with Arnie's star power.

Mad max fury road
Possibly the greatest film ever.
Missed it when it was in the cinema. Really wish I'd caught it at the time. Best thing.
It's my favorite film in quite awhile. Especially this year. Hoping Star Wars can go toe to toe with it.
#317 Re: The Sunset Strip » Alien 5 & Prometheus 2 » 509 weeks ago
Wow. So I'm one of the 3 people who liked Prometheus! I didn't know there were any others.
I loved alien too, not so much the rest of the franchise (tho obv aliens was great in its own way - & 3 was hard done by). But Ridley seems to have true ownership of the story so I'll always trust him ahead of anyone just out to make an action/horror/chase film.
My expectations are that I'll believe them when I see it. Ridley's talking like he'll be making alien films for e next 7-10 years which I think is just unrealistic. I hope he does tho cause all most every other film he's made since black hawk down has stunk bar Prometheus.
I'll still try & go see the Martian tho..
I hear the Martian is fucking great. Hoping to check that out in a few weeks too.
#318 Re: The Sunset Strip » Alien 5 & Prometheus 2 » 509 weeks ago
I enjoyed Prometheus as well despite it's story problems. I'm open to a sequel; but Neil Blomkamp's Alien 5 is a little more intriguing to me because it looks to be a retcon of some of the sequels or just bringing certain supporting characters back. I loved the concept art for it too. As for Alien: Paradise Lost it's kind of strange now that Ridley Scott wants to connect everything back to Alien because he wanted the sequel to be a different story dealing more with the Engineers then the Xenamorphs. Like he wanted a few more films before tying everything up nicely to the original '79 film. Originally the sequel I think was supposed to be called, Paradise. Either he wants to shepherd the franchise from here on out and delay Neil's film and his ideas for continuity or other reasons. Maybe he's warming up to the possibilities and both Alien 5 and Paradise Lost will work in both their favors.

I watched every M Night film since the Sixth Sense, but after The Happening I was traumatized. Such a stinker it boggles the mind.
Considering it though...
I'd recommend the new movie. It's certainly a step in the right direction; but not a complete return for the guy. It's going to take time. I think the Happening is a hilarious train wreck; but yeah it's completely disappointing since it's meant to be a thriller.

I fucking love this track despite it being messy at times and not really having a full band in the mix. It's mean, dark, crazy guitars, and a fun listen overall. It's the industrial rock sound that CD was going to shoot for which I really dig. I would of loved to see this song performed live more. It's a shame before Ron and DJ left, that they didn't try to play it live again besides one rehearsal for it in several years.
