Me. Also watched The Open House. This is on Netflix and has been in my cue for a bit. This one was good and the lead kid (Dylan Minnette) is a great actor. Sure the premise is and has been done before, but the ending was great, no spoiler but the tension was well placed and again the ending, certainly not typical and greatly appreciated by me. The Happytime Murders. This one is hated by the mass populace and not sure why? Who doesn't like muppets cursing drinking smoking and cumming all over the place? Sure its not for everyone but kudos to Brian Henson for dragging the muppets through the gutter on this. Like Who Framed Roger Rabbit meets Let My Puppets Come. Well worth a watch.

Both teams are/should be familiar with cold and snow but if it is a true snowbowl that would at least curb the scoring to a minimum... Still would rather masturbate with a cheese grater than see NE get into the SB again...

That would be best. Sorry to burst bubbles but it was not a good movie. That said in the world of Lifetime melodrama's it was superior. So many things wrong and the editing, good gravy. But I am glad you all dug it and it was nice to see Malkovich in something again. AND Trevante Rhodes is one hell of an actor. This kid needs to be in everything.

I could see this happening for the sheer fact that Goodell would want the geriatric QB battle between Brady and Breeze...

Well I only got 1 this weekend with the Rams and my all LA super bowl is no more... Coming up this weekend we get the championship games. AFC: NE @ KC NFC: NO @ LA Not enamored with any of them, but will go LA & KC. Obviously any team that plays against NE is a favorite. But both games should be high flying.

I concur. It is not a Saw or some other waaaay over the top horror porn or some Paranormal Activity jump scare affair. This one is old school thinking mans horror and gets stuck in your craw forever. I dug it and like your Geoff agree that this was a well made creepy movie. That house they had is as bad ass as they come too, I mean who has a house like that and who do I have to sleep with to get one?

Matthew McConaughey's role in this was classic. His speech about high school girls is so ridiculously funny and the Matt I want to see in many movies.

I was initially going to remove myself from the thread based on the ghoul grease paint freeze frame on the YouTube clip, but I persevered and clicked and was pleasantly surprised by a fairly solid modern metal tune with a grip of Rammsteiney electronic elements tossed in. However older clips are full on screamo grossness. https://www.facebook.com/chontaraz/

Upon further examination I see that the band is now called The End Machine. This too is a stupid name. I thought in first passing that they were just going by the End and even though that was questionable I let it go.

Stumbled on this band trolling YouTube and was smitten from the start. Very nice, catchy stuff. At times just a mellow modern rock band, at times a little Jamarouqui... SHRUG https://www.facebook.com/piquedjacks/ Tell me what you think. I think KarpetRyde will dig them.

Didn't see anything here on this very nice prog metal/hard rock band called Mindlane. Seems they have an LP dropping in February of 2019 entitled Darkest Matter. Here is the single: https://www.facebook.com/mindlaneband http://www.mindlane.se/ Looks like this is the bands 3rd release...

Ah, well there you go. Glad you enjoyed them. I sure do too. The Case Conflict disc still adheres to the staple of the latest however there is a bit more funk bass and some horns to boot lending itself to a more Apple Pie White Trash kind of vibe at times, yet still rather pleasant.

That was a quick grab, curious to hear your thoughts and where'd you DL it from?

Glad someone is appreciating this and you are correct they are a very good band.

Rather liked that Tommy & The Love Tribe. The Suicide Bombers are a dead ringer for this unknown band, even though they are fairly unknown as well.

I too missed this "superstroke" post, very glad they changed the band name as that name was a floater. The song is a good one though and they are all sounding very good together. The songs verse reminds me of an Alice n Chains song but the the rest is a huge 80's anthem, an interesting amalgamation. I am intrigued to hear more and I have always like JP, he is an underated bassist, songwriter and vocalist.

Hardy har har, nice pun.

Both their FB and Twitter haven't been posted on since December of 2017 announcing a 60% off sale... All accounts including the website are up and running at the moment.

Sorry to hear that your sister is not a kind person. I'd say as I may have before good riddance to your boat anchor. No contact for me and my folks or sister in 13 years and my psyche feels great. A great gob of incredibly ignorant selfish people that I am still amazed spawned me. Chin up young man, surround yourself with those that get it and want to get you, you know.

Bumped for the new thread for the bands sophomore release Black Bonus. If you missed this one check both albums out! Pronto!

Some of you may recall the mention of this Finnish hard rock band with its sonic Skid Row meets Slik Toxic meets Ugly Kid Joe meets White Trash sensibilities when I mentioned their debut Case Conflict a few years back... Fast forward and now the band is back with an equally impressive sophomore release entitled Black Bonus. The album just dropped late December of 2018, here is the album cover and track listing and a old video version of track 10 and track 8. Give them a long look as they are very good.

Watching both videos, sound off in the first one of course, and I am still gobsmacked at how tasty KP is. Sigh. And how frickin cool is Vince Vaughn?

Shame but seems standard that no one took a poke at this excellent disc and commented, oh well. If you care I have reviewed it and it should go out soon: Gambles Bride Flesh Released January 21st 2018 (Urban Renaissance Music Group) Review: From the opening chord of track one State of Emergency from the debut long play Flesh from Washington DC/Maryland's power duo Gambles Bride you are hooked, line and sinker. The opener is easily worthy of the cost of admission on its own. A must for fans of Kings X as this track could slip in between the sheets of any KX release and both guitarist Mike Gamble and vocalist Gene McBride could stand in for Ty Tabor and Dug Pinnick if needed. I kid you not. As we move through the disc the similarities to KX stay true and strong but we see Mike and Gene dabble into some more modern sounding hard rock bands they are influenced by in the likes of say Sevendust or the Deftones, I hear 2 heaping handful of Living Colour, maybe even some Fishbone and dare I say some Suicidal Tenancies in there too, but this menagerie of influences are just that, influences and Gamble Bride are 100% original in the 11 hard rock songs presented on Flesh. Hey You, Flesh and Day of Atonement all carry the hard rock torch onward keeping the listeners heart, head and fists a pounding with 2 tackle boxes full of harmonies and hooks, melodies and rhythms to shake anyone's hips and fretwork from Mike that will have the guitar aficionados clamoring to get into Mike's head to figure out how he did that. Let This Be The Last Time and Never Thought "slow" things down a bit and give the listener a taste of Mike and Gene's "softer" side with a pair of arena rockers with a healthy smattering of cigarette lighter love song styled rhythms and poignant heart felt songwriting that would be fodder for many's broken, healing or just plain ole heart. The solo in Never Thought is a standout for me as it plays well with the songs timbre and it is played quite proficiently and pairs nicely with Maurice's synth work. Left Side is another hard rocker that sways between modern hard rock to slower melodic rock to almost arena rock and back, with clean guitar vs distorted and the always present Gene's Pinnick fueled wail tying all the elements together perfectly. There is a definite Tom Morello guitar element in this one see if you can catch it its not that hidden so not to worry. Letters slows things down ever so slightly, but mostly tempo speaking as the guitar work is still distorted and heavy, but Gene's vocal work is as pure as the driven snow and layered in harmonies. The lyrical topic is a bit heavy as can be implied in the songs title "Letters", a man's journey captured in his "letters". Of course where and why he is writing these letters is up for interpretation and only adds to the songs impact. Return The Pain is another poignant hard rocker with a very heavy song topic yet presented in a nice lil hard rock package that you might miss if you get swept up in the tidal wave of the music. Testing Time is a definite modernistic metal tune, but still keeps its hard rock principles with its layered harmonies/vocals and a killer supremely infectious "hit me with the ya ya ya's" vocal. This track is a real dinger for certain and one of my favorites. The disc wraps up with The Ride and Tease, which is just that a little teaser of the guys talking while on a "drive" and fanning through the radio stations trying to find something worth a listen, stopping shortly on song snippets (played by the band themselves) in various styles from country to gospel, finally landing on an alternate version of the bands very own Letters, which they play to the fade out and I must say I'd like to hear the whole tune in the manner they presented it here as it is a great song period but the alternate is just that, I nice alternative to the original. Standouts are a plenty on Flesh, but today Letters, State of Emergency, Never Thought and Let This Be the Last Time are front runners. This disc sits proudly in the Martinsane's unknown but must own collection. Do yourself a musical favor and get your hands on this silver pressed digipac release from Gambles Bride, show them some love so they can make some more music for us to enjoy.
