Yeah, there is a certain datedness to the movie that goes beyond the actual time and space the movie takes place in and the special effects. Something about the dialogue, and the casting, and overall tone is just so diagnostic of pre-MCU superhero movies. There's been a bit of a trend to try and recapture some of that camp from the studios lately, but they haven't really committed to it.

Honestly I'm with ya'll on this. disgraceful get some taste.
I'll never be upset to see more Finn-death that's for sure. Single is pretty promising, hope the rest delivers more of that nice punky DM.
Love to see more Tampa rep in here, particularly for one of the coolest albums to ever come out of the city (and that's saying a LOT). The only band to really seamlessly capture that sci-fi atmosphere as well for me is Vektor who are CLEARLY inspired by this album (it's not subtle).
"Accusations that I am a spy are tainted with anti-semitism". To this day I'm really shocked that it just works for everything. Get accused of literally anything and just say "anti-semitism" and the interviewer will just nod as if that isn't a non-sequitur.
This album finally healed the wound that Unspoken King caused in my heart. I speak hyperbolically, but at the same time this really did cement them as more than washed up. It's not that As Gomorrah Burns wasn't "good enough", but they really needed to land the follow up to win my trust back. And frankly, they fucking did, this album kicks so much ass, I don't want to commit blasphemy, but I think it might even be better in spots than None So Vile.
Let me get the obligatory "But I love them all I couldn't pick just one!" out of the way. In all truth though, it's gotta be Reign in Blood for me. I know it's basic bitch answer, but come the fuck on man going from Postmortem into Rain in Blood never fail to make me feel so fucking pumped.
I'm skeptical of trying to put myself on too much of a pedestal for what things I choose to consume, but I do feel with some conviction that I am 100% making the correct choice but trying to only minimally connect with social media for any kind of reason. With full awareness of just how snobby I sound saying this, I see the shit my co-workers and friends talk about from TikTok and instagram etc, and I'm just thinking the entire time "this is not that funny, or interesting" It always feel the anthropomorphized equivalent of a dog's chew toy. " Anyways, enough verbally fellating myself, if avoiding social media is making you feel better and less anxious then stay away from it, but if it's not really working and it's just making you feel isolated from your peers then maybe indulge at least a little. Stay conscious of your usage and don't let it eat into your psyche, but you don't always have to consume the "Best" media at all times, it's okay to eat some junk food from time to time.
