If I'm in the spooky, psychedelic, prog-metal mood. Killer album. Based loosely on the Pink Floyd album.

Woah.

Don't agree? I just think some of their newer stuff has some influences from The Beatles and few other classic bands. Don't think I've ever told anyone I thought that besides now. It's my personal opinion either way. They were one of the first metal bands to really fuse a lot of extreme forms of metal into something somewhat cohesive.

Yeah sorry if it came off a little jerkish. I wasn't really sure what you were saying. They seem more like Dream Theater if I had to give them a comp though. May not be from the same era, but I can't really think of a better one.

I wasn't talking about what they sound like, I just meant they had influences here and there that are pretty obvious. I see the Dream Theater reference but then again I never cared for Dream Theater very much which is why I lost some interest in BTBAM after Colors. It just sounds like you disagree with my opinion which is not really what this thread is about. The first 3 albums sound nothing like Dream Theater. Maybe Alaska, a TINY bit.

I have a love affair with stoner metal.

Omg. Just got back from Spy. I had tears coming down my face. Funniest movie I've seen since Wesding Crashers. Hands down.

"
Jason Statham was a scene stealer but Rose Byrne and Melissa Mcarthy were amazing as well. This movie was crazy funny. Please see it. I could type countless lines, but don't want to spoil any. Man. So good.

Girl with the Dragon Tattoo trilogy - beautifully written & page turner!

The original Jurassic Park is one of my favorite movie ever so I was pleased at the end of Jurassic World after the garbage that was JP3. And WOW at those box office numbers, no one saw that coming at all.

Anyone looking for a new podcast?

Check out the Crabfeast. Hosted by 2 comedians, storytelling based, highly recommended.

I have listened to the Steve Simeone, Nate Bargatze, Nick Thune, Rory Scovel episodes multiple times each. Some great conversations/stories

A couple splash brothers references in here, pretty relevant given the current Finals matchup

Can't stress how good of a recommendation this was.

Kind of pissed I didn't put it off for another few weeks, though. Only been a couple of days since I finished up Season 1 and I'm already jonesin for a new episode.

A few updates on my end.

1.-Saw "Jurassic World" and can't tell if it was good or sh$&. I'm leaning towards the latter.

2.-"What We Do In The Shadows" is an excellent satire/mockumentary. Think "Spinal Tap" with vampires.

3.-"Game of Thrones" finale was excellent. In fact, the season was brilliant. Particularly, the last 3 episodes.

4.-Anyone watch "Power" on Starz? Season 2 is 2 episodes in. I know I shouldn't like it, but I do. Like when my daughter and wife are listening to Megan Trainor. I know my foot shouldn't be tapping. It still does.

5.-True Detective reminder-Set your DVR for Sunday. Season 2 is coming.

6.-"We Are Still Here" is a brutal little horror movie. Acting was 60-70% of what I prefer, but everything else was solid. Worth a watch at least.

7.-Family movie weekend. "inside Out" here I come. Actually, looking forward to it. As "Ratatouille", "Up" and "Wall-E" all made my top 20 in their respective years.

8.-Had a bottle of Bonny Doon red blend 2011 Contra wine. If you're a wine drinker and like blends, I highly recommend it. I'm buying a case myself. It appears you can only get it on line.

9.-Is there still nobody who saw "Spy"? Someone's got to have seen it. You all are missing out.

Cannot believe the money it's made. Wasn't crazy about the movie outside of the FX. Love me some Chris Pratt though.

3. Love Thrones. Once again another shocker or two in a finale.

5. Yes, I'll be interested to see if TD can follow the first season. Gonna be tough MC and WH were fantastic.

7. Looking forward to Minnions. My son loves them and he'll be only 2 so it'll be his first trip to a theater as it opens on his Bday.

8. I'll have to check it out. Also on the blends, if you haven't already, try the Apothic Red. It is delicious. Just had a bottle last night as it was 50 degrees.

Looking forward to "Minions". My daughter saw her first movie at just under 3. Good age to break them in.

Love Apothic. It's the very wine that got me into blends. Prior to that, I was a straight Cab, Pinot Noir, Chianti guy. Apothic is like eating a Hershey bar...smooth...I'm thirsty already :wink:

As I watched the trailer, my face went :blank:

. Was expecting it to be Kingdom Hearts 3, and then the backgrounds started to look familiar. Once they showed Barrett's gatling gun, I freaked out. FF7 was the game that made me go out and buy a Playstation. I was already 20 years old at the time, and had no more intentions of playing video games since I was old enough to drink and go to clubs. I thought I was too old to play video games. FF7 made me realize that I was probably going to be playing video games for the rest of my life. :lol:

Haha so true. I am also a Zin fan. 7 Deadly Zins is great as well as Alghren Zin if you can find it.

7 Zins is another big winner. Never had Alghren but based on your taste, I'm running to the liquor store. You should really order a bottle of this Contra based on your palate.
