The what's going on in Thrash thread

[Slammed]

I wondered if you'd watched it since I didn't remember you saying much about it. Ok no spoilers.

 

[redfly]

Not sure what I’ve been doing lol. Right now I’m watching Kong vs Godzilla.

 

[Slammed]

I watched the new Mighty Ducks tv series

Oh I also watch Thunder Force, the new Melissa McCarthy movie. It was reviews like "two fat chicks can't be superheroes", "fat chicks making their own movies because no one else will hire them" and "two fat chicks with no life become superheroes is too clichéd" that made up my mind for me. It wasn't the greatest movie, fairly typical McCarthy though, but it was 90mins of switch off brain laugh a few times type thing. And for those who think two fat women can't be Superheroes they haven't seen Jason Batemen's most pointless superhero of them all, Crabman (Rob T is sure to sue!).

The movie does get extra points for the number of times Slayer gets mentioned and while the soundtrack isn't the greatest metal it is mostly metal and one of the songs (during the credits) is a cheesy little number featuring Scott Ian and Dave Lombardo.

 

[redfly]

Cool. I’ll have to watch the credits!

I don’t mind McCarthy, although I fill up quick. There has to be someone really good with her. And that lady with her in this ain’t it. Could never stand her and I’m not sure why she’s this big thing all of a sudden.

 

[Slammed]

Yeah McCarthy is funny at times but other times her comedy really falls flat. I was kind of surprised to see the other woman as the lead role, but then fat chicks gotta stick together in Hollywood! (I think that was one of the other reviews I read ). As much as the other girl is kind of the lead there is a few other characters that hold the show up. Batemen does well, the criminal mastermind does pretty well, the tough as steel bad girl isn't bad either. It's still not much more than a 6, (maybe a 7 for the soundtrack) but it's okay.

 

[redfly]

I’ll probably catch it at some point..maybe.

 

[Slammed]

There is worse ways to spend 90 mins and at least it's not another Hollywood 're-imagining' of something else that was successful.

Interesting how two different sites link to the same interview.

The 1:36min interview


As far as the Blabber article with Jnr where he mentions the new album, instrumentals and prog-metal in the same fucking sentence....well I didn't even open that one!

Oh I'm sure even this is a rip off of something lol.

 

[Slammed]

Oh yeah, it's a piss take of any superhero movie, not overly original, but it's also not Ghostbusters 14: The Younger Generation Now Chase Ghosts.

I like those Ozzy songs

I really skipped that one! I got it for free and I still never watched it lol.

 

[Slammed]

Bloody Sharon!!!
Although I wouldn't mind betting there is more truth to the idea that Holmes played for less than Alex.

 

[Slammed]

I don't think there is a Ghostbusters 14
I don't even think there is a new Ghostbusters, I reckon they just made the trailer and not the full movie. With the hold ups the new movie has had I reckon it's just a big tease

 

[redfly]

Bloody Sharon!!!
Although I wouldn't mind betting there is more truth to the idea that Holmes played for less than Alex.

Yeah maybe.
But also as much as I think it’s cool that Alex played those songs some of those solos needed a lot more work from him. Maybe he just wasn’t prepared enough.

 

[Slammed]

Yeah it could have been that too.
I reckon Alex would have felt better playing his own stuff rather than someone elses, but playing with Ozzy did mean something back then before the internet learned to hate Sharon

 

[redfly]

I can’t remember if this was before or after his stint with Savatage?

 

[Slammed]

The year after according to wiki.

It's still Dave, he can still play the guitar, but it just looks wrong.

I'm not a fan of GoFundMe but Tom's doing well thanks to Gary setting it up.
If the rumours are true and the Kirk Hammett that donated $5000 is in fact ex-Exodus guitarist Kirk Hammett then good on him too.
Blabber commentors are also saying our A league mate Dave Wright donated $150.
