    GMD Poll: Top Ten Albums of 2021

    no, it's because you list 10 power metal albums every year and still manage to leave out all the good ones (although at least you got helloween right this time)

    GMD Poll: Top Ten Albums of 2021

    15. darkthrone - eternal hails basically any album these guys release nowadays is an exact 4/5, no more, no less. never amazing, never surprising, but always delivering. 14. pharaoh - the powers that be I respect it more than I enjoy it but I could see this being one I'm still revisiting 10...

    The Official Movie Thread

    I get that feeling yeah. I've been reading reviews and I see a lot of people seemingly taking what is essentially a 24-esque paranoid fantasy as an affirmation of their worldview, which is a bit disturbing shouldn't hold that against the movie though. it was pretty great, just not the kind of...

    The Official Movie Thread

    one battle after another: solid 7/10 for me, definitely entertaining but not sure why it's getting praised to high heaven. I'll have to read some reviews and see why people loved it that much

    Albums currently kicking your ass

    @CiG might like this, RYM tags it as melobm but to me it feels more like nu-darkthrone-esque blackened heavy metal. whatever it is it owns, workmanlike bm full of patient, melancholy atmosphere-building.

    meaningless platitudes. passive reflection accomplishes fuck all, certainly not societal change.

    I don't think defending the 2nd amendment is the same as calling for people to get shot but he's said some other heinous shit like justifying the genocide in Gaza. wouldn't have shot him but not a huge fan

    The Books/Reading Thread

    only around a hundred pages in but so far this is a love at first sight deal, hope it doesn't shit the bed. imagine kurosawa's "high and low" as a decades-spanning mystery with a huge ensemble cast. it's one novel in japanese, but the english translation was published in two volumes.

    I vaguely remember his original rise to fame, and even though I've never really agreed with let alone willingly watched kirk he has nontheless become a 'familiar face' so to speak and it's fucking weird to watch him gorily expire in 5 seconds in high-definition video. I'm not a big "speech is...

    The Official Good Television Thread

    I have mixed feelings on it but if you like s01 you'll probably like the whole thing. From my memories of the finale, it sticks the landing something fierce. (To explain said mixed feelings, I think it's pretty good overall but there are a lot of moments where the comedy really does not land...

    Man, that was a pretty weak episode of Dexter. Just when I was starting to think they'd learnt from their past mistakes, they go and repeat them.
