Annihilation- Great film. I wish Portman would do more films like this. She's amazing but her resume is real spotty. I didn't really like the ending but there were very few directions for this story to go. I never read the book but apparently they took it in a different direction. The books are a trilogy but I don't see how this story could realistically get sequels.

I know I kind of went into the political thread with that, but I find this stuff is infecting every aspect of our lives

This is my main problem with it. You literally cannot escape it.  They're not even happy with this. They want more of it shoved down your throat. The lunatic fringe has been given a very loud voice and there's going to be resistance to it. Eventually something is going to happen that will cause people to demand a complete stop to it.

A few weeks ago I saw an old woman at a gas station who didn't know which bathroom to use. That's unacceptable. Live a normal life for decades but now she needs an ultra liberal to tell her which door she can walk through to take a shit. All because there's one tranny within a 500 mile radius.

It has to stop.

I'm with you on that one, man. I'd love to have the older version similar to how they played it live early on

Anyone here heard this yet? They dropped it pretty much out of nowhere, and it's a monster, epic album. Much more like Avenged of old, than the simplicity of Hail to the King.

It's a concept album discussing topics such as artificial intelligence and the universe etc. it's very grand and a lot to take in, but once it grows on you, you can hear moments of brilliance throughout

Some stellar drumming and guitar work too
