Kingdom was pretty great! Anyone not having a problem with sub-titles should check it out (it's korean). Awaiting season 2. 

Titans was pretty awesome as well. Figure it's probably not available on US netflix though?

Just noticed The Umbrella Academy was up for streaming, I'll probably give that a shot too, heard good things about the comic. 

I thought Bird Box might've been as underwhelming as a movie can possibly get. Malkovich was good though but that's pretty much a given.

I was re-reading some of the earlier posts in this thread looking for something I remember being posted back in the day. This post aged particularly well  

Ah, come one man! I figured this post would come back to haunt me at some point. Why couldn't you just have left it to die?  

Sadly as Ghost has grown in popularity, my interest has fallen off a cliff. I think I've only listened to the new album 2 or 3 times. It might actually have some to do with Papa3/Cardinal which makes it even more ironic. 

Daredevil season 3 was incredible! Best yet!

Most of my favorute depressing albums are in Swedish,I guess the lyrics hit me harder if the lyrics is in my native language. 

I read Animal Farm a couple of weeks back. Really dug it! Funny coincidence, the other day when I was at a friends home, I saw the book on a shelf, asked him about it and he had just got it but hadn't started reading it yet. None of us really reads books so it was cool that he had recently gotten it as well.  I've been meaning to read some classic "must reads" for years. Not sure what to read next. Any suggestions?

Absolutely, it was just a bad taste morbid joke that I found amusing. Sorry for your loss

I quit watching TWD during the second season. However, I'm still wondering what the doctor/scientist or whatever he was told Rick at the end of season 1? Did we ever find out? Anybody knows what I'm talking about?

Just thought I'd share Carl Sagan's cannabis essay from 1969. I heard about it a couple of years ago but hadn't read it until now. http://marijuana-uses.com/mr-x/

I was fully expecting not to like this album. Thought they were rip-offs, very talented, but rip-offs. Have had a hard time with all the hype but figured I had to give the album a shot. It's good and I think it'll grow on me. Vocals are sometimes too much though, but I bet I can get over it.

Nice surprise!

Oh, I don't use gimmick in a negative sense. I think they're funny and if you don't find Ghost fun, I think you sort of miss the point of it all. I've seen them 4 times I think so I think I know the gimmick pretty well. Slash's top hat is also a gimmick and so is Angus Young's schoolboy uniform IMO. 

The Swedish defintion of gimmick: "Gimmick is a special feature of a particular artist or actor. It is often a kind of plush that can be considered a typical for the artist. Usually it is a part of a kind of humor that characterizes a person. It can be a special catch phrase or a physical movement." I guess it's a little bit different in English?

This surely is sad, however we have to look on the bright side. The rest of the band members really lives up to the band name now..

I wouldn't want to see them live, just a pop band with a gimmick, honestly if McFly wore make up would that make them a metal band? Ghost aren't heavy, the singers voice is not distinctive but yeah they do have some cool outfits to take everyones attention away from the fact the music isn't any good

I don't think anyone's denying that they benifit from their image/gimmick or the fact that they write pop songs. I don't think anyone consider them to be "heavy" either. That's not the appeal. And as Zeppelin said, it's OK not to like them. But they're a growing band and more and more people enjoy it. It's entertainment and they put on a good show, if it's not your thing, don't bother,  right? 

They're like Kiss or Alice Cooper

I always fought u Sweeds where a pretty liberal bunch? 

We got that reputation, but not really anymore. When it comes to cannabis we're way behind and actually very conservative when compared to other similar "western" countries. Sweden's drug policy is abysmal.

I've listened to Danko Jones a lot! Been a fan since around '03-04. IMO the earlier records are the best but the latest "Wild Cat" wasn't bad. Must've seen them at least 5-6 times live in concert, they put on a great show. Danko's a pretty awesome frontman.

Go Canada! Sadly we're probably decades away from legalizing in Sweden.

In preparation for "RDR2" I started watching Godless to get that Western feeling flowing. Great show!

I agree with you guys saying it's Slash's best non-GNR album. I got the japanese version on CD which includes these 2 extra songs. 

I went to reddit the other day and read some amazing info from gaming sites and others who had played it. Just 1 month left.  

Ps4s list of exclusive titles are insanely good. Spider-Man, Horizon Zero Dawn, God of War are all magnificent experiences. Then there's a bunch of others  and even some very sweet "re-masters" of old games. 

Spider-Man is great!

I read that too, which got me to listen to his new solo album. Pretty good stuff!

Likely referencing Slash, Duff and Matt before they got Scott.
