Motley Crüe is even Beavis and Butthead approved, even though they correctly point out that the guy from Danzig could kick Vince Neil’s ass because he’s a wuss. I can’t think of another hair metal band they didn’t shit all over.
Here’s my childhood icons shitting on Poison. The music video scenes were usually on point when it came to what was cool and what sucked. Comedy genius!
“LA Sucks!”

I’m pretty damn pretentious and even I don’t think their music sucks. It isn’t my particular day to day cup o’ tea, but when one of their songs comes on the radio I don’t change the station.
They wrote fun as hell songs and had that energy man.
fucking jazz is the best kind of jazz

Ok, real musicians is a bit much, Tommy Lee was a great drummer for the genre, but that’s about it, are drummer even real musicians? J/k.
Vince was a mediocre singer and Nikki Sixx barely qualifies as a player. Any beginner can play his bass lines, they’re basic af.
Mars is alright. Nothing special.
I thought the movie had terrible dialogue and acting. The girl who played Skylar and Bolton’s bastard were notable exceptions.
Ok they lacked a decent budget but still…the black paramedic going “I’m not about to let Nikki Sixx die on my watch” was so ridiculous it had me rolling, like he was Prince or Billy Idol.
Anyone notice Slash on the couch and Steven Adler on that party, before Sixx Od’s?
Woah hold on, read what I really wrote lol.
I watched it yesterday and, unfortunately, I’ve gotta agree with this. It isn’t a very good movie. I really wanted it to be good but there was just SO MUCH MORE they could do with the material they had.
dt79, my man, I just don´t feel Nikki, for example, knew how to play his bass properly. Maybe that’s why he’s always claiming to be punk nowadays.
But I’m just nitpicking, I prefer simple but good to complex virtuoso shit sandwiches anyway.

I dunno…
I feel that they made Nick Fury the comic relief black guy in this one. Like Marvel was Jackie Chan and he was Chris Tucker in Rush Hour.
They made the total badass Samuel L. Jackson look a bit too helpless for my taste, stumbling along to keep up with Marvel.
Also, he was a spy in Belfast, Bucharest, Belgrade and Budapest? Yeah, I’m sure no one would notice the black american guy in those countries lol.
They always pull stuff like this, and I can’t help but wonder if someone in these studios are subtly trolling us.
Like in the Thor movies when they made Idris Elba play the Nordic god Heimdall.
So they have a black guy watching the door, THE WHOLE TIME, he can’t leave, all while the white guys are partying stuffing their faces and getting shitfaced and chatting up Lady Siff and whatever bitches they have up in that joint, and that’s suppose to be “inclusive”??
yeah right.

Us got rave reviews by and large, and Get Out was even more critically acclaimed, so the reviewer may have felt a need to clarify. I haven’t seen us, but Get Out was a great fucking movie. Loved it.
I was also a fan of them in the 90s as well as Deep Purple etc , but it seems to me that the behaviour of such bands can’t be acurately portrayed in movies, not in the current PC climate, especially concerning sexual practices.
Film critics are afraid to give a good review to a film that depicts rock stars engaging in misoginist / sexist behaviour for fear of coming off as misoginists / sexists themselves.
Ok this sounded ridiculous as I typed it, maybe I’m way off.
And when you consider all the teenage / underage groupies all those bands had, I wouldn’t want any movie talking about that these days if I were Jimmy Page (or Steven Tyler, Nugent, Bowie, etc). It may have been common rockstar behaviour back in the day, but twitter and facebook petitions would blow up on these guys’ faces.
I’m not sure how detailed or accurate The Dirt was about Motley Crue’s antics, I wasn’t there, after all. I didn’t get the impression that they were going light on the more lurid details of their debauchery. There was no shortage of groupie scenes, drug use and no evidence that they were pulling any punches to appease modern PC forces or the apology hunter mob on twitter.
That’s part of what made the movie so enjoyable for me and it was a huge part of the band’s persona. It wouldn’t work as a movie if it was whitewashed and neither would a Zeppelin biopic. Plus it’s not very rock and roll to appease stuck-up assholes who go out of their way to find things to be offended by. Fuck those people. They could probably use a good fucking by an intoxicated egotist who sees them as an object.
I think the problem was in the execution. They did depict a lot of these scenes but at no time did they make me go, “Holy fuck!”. It’s kind of like zombie flicks these days are so self-aware and comedic that copious amounts of gore doesn’t make you flinch.
My point is a reviewer normally doesn’t display the need to clarify his position to such an extent as if he’s afraid of a severe backlash. This is only Jordan Peele’s 2nd movie and the average rating is currently at 79%.
I thought Get Out wasn’t bad and Jordan Peele was a director to look out for. Us, IMO , isn’t a good movie but it doesn’t suck. It is VERY good if you judge certain scenes, but when put together they don’t add up.

Supposedly a Netflix original film. By the guy who made The Night Comes for Us, which was AWESOME. This movie is AWFUL. It’s so fucking bad it makes Captain Marvel look like average. If a pile of crap had explosive diarrhea, this is what would come out.
Do not watch this when you see it on Netflix. Watch The Night Comes for Us instead.
Why would they kick him or try to punch when they have a machete?
Alternate scene title to reflect reality: Guy gets chopped up by machetes.
I didn’t see anyone with a machete in his hand try to kick or punch him first.
A better question would be “why were 20 fuckers in a wide open space attacking him ONE AT A TIME?”.
I really enjoyed this series. I hope they add more. I also remember watching Heavy Metal in high school.
HM is one of my favorite soundtracks. So do you have any favorite episodes of the new series?
The ones that stand out most are the first episode with the fighting robots and the one with the astronaut who breaks off her arm to create propulsion to get back to her ship. The dumbest was the alternative ways for Hitler to die.
I like that they vary in length and are different in animation style and content style.
When I was a kid I loved comic books. When I was in middle school it was horror comics. Heavy Metal was like a horror comic with a sound track. At least that’s how it felt to me at the time. It also reminded be of illustrations by Frank Frazetta (Conan)
