The Metal Maniac

Shaggy and brown. It's long enough that I can pull it just under my chin, which is longer then it ever has been before. It's "combed" only in a sense - I try to comb it when I get out of the shower, but it never listens. As a result, it generally looks something of a mess, and I have problems seeing out of my right eye sometimes. Why? Because I hate getting my hair cut (it always, always, ALWAYS looks stupid), I hate being told to get my hair cut (people constantly badger me to cut it, which only makes me not want to cut it to piss them off) and I've been told that it actually looks half-decent on me.

I like them all. I wouldn't say they're fantastic, but they're good films. IDRM has a point about the action in Reloaded - I'll watch just the Burly Brawl and Blade Leapers fight scenes on a regular basis, and JUST those scenes. I'm still unsure why people shit on them so much. I don't know exactly what people expected from these movies, but methinks it was a bit much. of course, part of that is the fault of the hype machine, but still.

I have a 9-piece Tama kit, no-name symbols and heads, except for the one that's Tama, and one which is Remo. Hey fuck you, it was used and I don't play it as often as I should. Oh, and I'm missing a tom stand, so it's really only 7-piece. Hell, I don't even know if I'm counting it right...I've been told that cymbals should not be counted, but I dunno if that's right or what...in any case, I didn't. I like it plenty much, but with a house full of people who are always either watching TV, sleeping, or studying, it's hard to actually ENJOY playing drums, you know?

Whenever Vince busts out "1 2 HEGOTHIMNOHEDIDN'T!"

Surely there is no one stupid enough to believe this is true. Perhaps it should have been re-worded to "gained a great deal of fame because of Cobain's suicide".

I know. I was just trying to be helpful.

I think what he really means is...stop posting.

Any time anyone uses Andre the Giant in Fire Pro D. JESUS. It's IMPOSSIBLE to do anything to him, and if he knocks you on the mat, forget it. One big "oooooh" elbow later, and it's over. ALWAYS. Same thing for Hulk Hogan and his fucking legdrop.

Yeah, but one could easily argue that they wouldn't have had such sales in the long run if he was still alive, because the fact that he died when he did obviously increased his name value, and the value of the band. Well, OK, maybe not easily, because I'm now into a "what if" area, and it's hard to argue "what ifs" because they can't really be proven either way. In any case though, I'd still be curious to see how it sold before his death, and how it sold after.

Yeah, but the general argument against them is that they're only successful because Cobain died. Thus, if their sales were down here, he shot himself and they shot up here, well...that's saying something.

Man, HHH/Austin 2/3 falls dissapointed me the first time I saw it, mainly because I didn't see it for a few days after, and you can hear them calling spots the whole fucking match. You can also watch them play hot potato with the blade for a bit. If you can sit there and go "Now he has it...now he has it in his boot", then there's problems.

Jesus...it's been so long since I've seen that, I can hardly remember half of it... The best is when they turn Burns to dust, then he re-forms, fires Homer, and dies again. The one where they all have nightmares is good too. "It was at that little shop over there..." *nothing but dust* "Oh wait, it was over there."

I think the important question though, is how many did it sell BEFORE he died? That'd be the true judge of their success, methinks.

Uh, no. Unless youve seen a totally different movie called Run Lola Run. Admittedly, I've never seen it all, but what I did see was a far cry from the 3 storylines in a single day premise. I think my favourite is possibly the Cat Burgular one... "So I said, listen pal, your car was upside-down when we got here. And as for your grandma, she shouldn't have mouthed off like that!" "Oh my God! Underage kids drinking beer without a permit!" "I noticed Malloy wore sneakers....FOR SNEAKING!" "Ned! Ned! Ned!" "Well, I'm not much of a leader, but..." "Someone else! Someone else! Someone else!" "I'm someone else!" "He's right!" Or maybe Treehouse of Horror...II? The one with King Homer, and Bart dressed like Alex from A Clockwork Orange. "I've got a story so scary you'll wet your pants." "Too late." *Everyone shifts away from Grandpa* "The doll's trying to kill me and the toaster's been lauging at me!" "You think your dirty socks can stop me? Well...they are making me dizzy..." It's been way too long since I've seen those ones though. I think the best recent one was where Homer was on pot, just for the scene when he's high, and everything's all happy colors and faces like in a 60's cartoon or something, and then he shaves, and rainbows shoot out of his face.

Well, there's Iced Earth...but they're really just faster, heavier Maiden...so I dunno if that counts.

There's other kinds?

Especially cats.

I dunno about Nevermind, but I heard that the re-issues they did after that only got like, a million. I wish I'd known that yesterday though...my and a friend were arguing about Nirvana, and she claimed that they were the biggest grunge band, thus grunge died with him (this was her counter to my "it was just a fucking fad" argument, by the way); they weren't. Pearl Jam outsold them.

True. I demand to know what site you got those from.

Do it up Slayer.

I still say they should've called themselves the WRECKing Crew.

She's joking, right?

You do realize that you directed this comment towards CWM, right?

I assumed that it would be a given that old toys aren't manufactured anymore, and thus I didn't feel I had to point it out. And I think if you could find something that seemed collectible, but wasn't a very popular item, then it might be worth it to collect that, because if there's not many others doing it, then the chances for them being worth money goes through the roof. I would answer the original question of the thread, but I honestly don't know.

Good call. Die Hard was fun as hell.
