    Diary of the dead is definitely worth seeing for a Romero fan and was imo best zombie film he did before he passed away. Rip george. For me it was a creative take on the genre with some fun moments. Yeah definitely George was insightful about the human condition. His films wouldn't have worked without that imo, and thanks for that info. His films definitely had a fun element which people liked including me and I'm guessing you too. Thanks for info re night of the living dead of the dead. May be worth another watch. Re dawn of dead, Tom savini knows special effects so well and George was wise to largely let him crack on with it. The thing soundtrack will definitely check more of that one Re carpenter brut. Yeah I know of song you mentioned and others from free album. Tbh don't listen to it that much which is shame as it's got good qualities. The film I've wanted to see for long time is the 1986 version of the fly. Looks like an interesting idea.anyone else seen this.

    That is really cool, she got to be a part of it. I haven't seen that one though. Night of the Living Dead, yeah, that was the first one I saw. Duane Jones was the lead role, but the whole cast was excellent. Cool thing about that movie is it's public domain, so you can always watch it on youtube or anywhere. Yeah, the original Dawn of the Dead is the best. The remake is not bad; at least they did something different with it, but it's a little too much of people trapped in a mall hanging out, talking... from what I can remember. On the commentary track of the original Dawn, Tom talked about how he'd come up with different ideas for special effects and George would just let him do it because it'd look great or it'd just be fun. There was another part of that commentary too in regards to that scene where the army, local police and a bunch of rednecks are all shooting zombies together. They all start drinking beer and taking pictures, goofing off and stuff like that. The moderator asked George about it, he had this great line: "War is hell until it becomes a party." That stays with me. George was very insightful of human nature like that. Hope you enjoy The Thing soundtrack. Oh yeah? Well, I know that one song of Carpenter Brut's. If you check it out, you'll have gained all my knowledge as well.

  5. https://images.app.goo.gl/ZjMjPCboquXpSdyx7 Megadeth rust in peace cover has always been a classic to me. In fact I can't even remember if I liked this before I started listening to metal. I definitely remember seeing the t shirt a few times and thinking what a cool cover. Also my 3 year old son thinks it's great cover to. I'd got postcards of it in a metal magazine, he insisted it be put on his wall until my wife said no chance. Some people ehh Ok this is rust in peace link. ? Peace sells is another cover that I really like https://images.app.goo.gl/LWKo9zkp8hnbGUzE6

  6. I'm not so sure that this is a metal problem that you encountered, rather than a facebook problem. That site is toxic. People go on there just looking to get on a soap box and put others down. I closed my account there long ago and would rather claw out my eyes than go back.

  8. You misunderstand. Just because you're into the occult doesn't mean you can say you've had sex, Salmo. Don't worry, though - one day you'll meet the right person.

  9. I've always experienced a lot of judgment for listening to very dark or very hard/heavy music, especially with me being female. Everyone thinks I should always be happy and positive etc and that I should like pretty pink things and puppies and bubblegum pop songs. If I listen to metal they worry or discourage it. Many people I know have a belief that metal will "corrupt" me or others I would say that overall I'm not a dark or light kind of person, I live in both sides of the spectrum I think you touched on something real when you said that darkness is beneficial just like light, and that reality has its dark aspects which cannot be avoided I think we live in a society that wants us to avoid certain realities and only focus on the positive ones, but I think that theres a lot that can be learned and enjoyed on the darker side of things, too Many have worried about me due to the concepts that some of the albums that i like are about. But I see metal albums and songs as pieces of art. These aren't things for me to emulate, they are creative works that express a certain emotion or experience. I'm able to keep that separate from who I am and how I view the world, myself and my life. If I go to a horror movie or an art exhibit with extreme themes, that doesn't really say anything about me. I just went and consumed some art. And I view negativity or darkness in metal the same way - as merely some art I consumed Sometimes I'm in a dark place and so I'm really personally vibing with the themes in the music I listen to but sometimes I'm happy or positive and I'm just listening to metal because I appreciate the artistic complexity of it. Or the intensity of the expression Maybe I have a stronger appreciation for darkness and that's why I like metal and horror movies so much, but I don't think it's really something to worry about or analyze too deeply I don't know if I stayed on topic here, I hope I did

  10. Very interesting. I didn't know that was the meaning of "occult". If sex is occult, then I'm a practicioner!!

  11. For me though, it's more like the old Manowar saying, "If it's not in your blood, you'll never understand". The people who were generally into heavy music and a philosophical/individual outlook on life as teenagers are still that way today, twenty years later. Those who are fat and boring today were thin and boring 20 years ago. I'm sure there are people out there who used to live life their own way and who now don't, but I think once the fire is lit, it tends to stay with you through the different phases of life. Take me for an example. I've got a family, house and all the ingredients that should render me a suburban untermensch, like the sorry sacks of shit who pass for my brothers-in-law. But I bring the Mayhemic spirit of atavistic screams to bbqs, while they bring pasta salad.

  12. Metal in many ways rejects the norms of society (though it is worth noting that it has many norms of its own). Breaking away from the herd provides one with an interesting level of objectivity about society that could not otherwise be achieved from within. Just because something is normal, popular, or "light" does not entail that it has any quality or insights to offer. In many ways, the people who deliberately do something unusual or different often have the most to offer and learn from.

  13. To me, negativity is despair, sadness, being manipulated, and toxic relationships/people...but not anger!!! And I think that the vast majority of people have experienced at least some of the above at some point in their lives. Some deal with it by finding comfort in drugs and alcohol, some just learn to live with it, some copy the behavior of those abusing them to in, out of sheer frustration, kick those who are below in the pecking order...and then there are those who find a much healthier way to deal with the shyte life offers you by using the arts as an outlet...in this case metal music! There is nothing negative about metal music...it has never made me feel abused, manipulated, or decieved. There is a lot of brainwashing, toxicity, and abuse going in this at many times screwed up worlds of ours, but if that is what one craves then all one needs to do is to read a news site or turn on the T.V...not listen to metal! On my music blog which due to certain circumstances is a bit dead at the moment, I wrote about goth music, another to many, dark genre. To me darkness is not negativity, it is creativness, self expression -and awareness etc. it is not always but in many cases a very healthy way to deal with life's hurdles etc. The people who are really suffering are those who are so scared of the darkness that they let bright illusions lead them astray!
