    Age of..

    By Laughing Man,

    ..Adaline looks like a terrible film. sad to see Harrison Ford waste his talent like that.
     
    this was just something I observed when I saw its poster while at the cinema to see a far less popular film that I'm sure nobody here has seen nor cares about, Avengers: Age of Ultron. great film. liked it better than the previous Avengers movie, although both certainly fall short of the first one.
     
    interestingly, it would seem that Ultron has decided to take a different route in his plan to fight humanity, as he parked a (presumably stolen) S.H.I.E.L.D. truck in front of the cinema and started making rude hand gestures at people. Iron Man was there too, but I guess he didn't see a problem with this because he mostly just stood around in the lobby and did absolutely nothing.

    Interstellar

    By Laughing Man,

    haven't posted anything here for a while. figured this was worth posting at least.
     
    a couple of weeks ago I got the 3-disc collector's edition of Interstellar. comes in a really nice case with an art book and an authentic IMAX film cell.
     

     
    case 1 - case 2 - case back

    Machine Head

    By Laughing Man,

    I got their new album and completed my collection of their only good ones.
     
    nope, I'm not missing any albums at all. third and fourth albums? what third and fourth albums?
     
    from top to bottom:
     
    - Burn My Eyes
    - The More Things Change...
    - Through the Ashes of Empires (US edition with bonus track "Seasons Wither")
    - The Blackening (2-disc special edition with two bonus cover tracks)
    - Unto the Locust
    - Bloodstone & Diamonds
     
    no, but seriously, this collection is technically incomplete. you couldn't even pay me to buy The Burning Red or Supercharger.

    Children of Bodom

    By Laughing Man,

    after getting a damaged copy, waiting for a refund, ordering another, waiting an unusually long time for it to be shipped, and then finally getting the final piece needed today, I've completed another discography collection.
     
    from top to bottom:
     
    - Something Wild (2008 deluxe reissue)
    - Hatebreeder (2008 deluxe reissue)
    - Follow the Reaper (US edition)
    - Hate Crew Deathroll (US edition)
    - Are You Dead Yet? (US edition)
    - Blooddrunk (US edition)
    - Halo of Blood
     
    also owned, but not pictured:
     
    - Relentless Reckless Forever (I own this digitally. I bought it entirely with free credits I saved up over the summer from an AmazonMP3 promotion a couple years back and I still felt ripped off. I even tried, unsuccessfully, to get it refunded by telling them I bought it by mistake. I absolutely hate this album with a passion and have no intention of ever wasting money on a physical copy. it's bad enough that I've wasted hard drive space on the MP3s. I'd rather just pretend the album doesn't even exist.)

    controversy!

    By Laughing Man,

    so I guess our definition of "controversy" now is "a lot of people talked about a thing"??
     
    I've gotta say, the whole grammar thing is by far the least controversial controversy in the history of BZPower. it felt more like a BZPower fad than it did a controversy, just a bunch of people posting blog entries on the same subject while other people commented on them. unless I missed, like, an entire entry where some kind of fight broke out, all the comments and entries I saw were completely rational.
     
    setting the bar for BZP drama pretty low there, guys. I feel like this entry is gonna end up more controversial than the "controversy" that inspired it.

    Soilwork

    By Laughing Man,

    (originally published 7 October 2014, updated and re-published 30 August 2015, updated and re-published again 25 August 2016)
     

     
    picked up the new rarities compilation Death Resonance last week. kinda bummed that it makes owning the Beyond the Infinite EP redundant by including all of those tracks, considering I dropped $25 to have it imported from Japan and all, but whatever.
     
    from top to bottom:
     
    - Steelbath Suicide (Century Media 2000 reissue)
    - The Chainheart Machine
    - A Predator's Portrait (2003 German re-press)
    - Natural Born Chaos
    - Figure Number Five
    - Stabbing the Drama (US limited edition)
    - Sworn to a Great Divide (limited edition, if that wasn't obvious)
    - The Panic Broadcast
    - The Living Infinite
    - Beyond the Infinite (B-sides EP released exclusively in Asia)
    - The Ride Majestic (limited edition)
    - Death Resonance
     
    still missing the live album they released last year, but then I've never been one for live albums anyway. I'd also like to get the 2011 reissue of A Predator's Portrait at some point, if only for that sweet new artwork and owning the bonus track "Asylum Dance" physically (I bought the MP3 of it off Amazon a couple years back).
