Meru has just become my new favorite film that was released in 2015. Seriously must see!

I've been slowly working my way through David Foster Wallace's Infinite Jest . Three hundred and fifty pages in at the moment. There are some great sections with lucid and brilliantly descriptive observations, but for the most part it's been a depressing slog. I've never given up on a book before, b...

Its about the death of Kurt Cobain. Definitely leaves you thinking. There is no doubt more to that story that what the public was told.

I recall seeing the documentary 'Kurt and Courtney' years ago and feeling the same.

^Yeah, despite the early reviews I was still looking forward seeing 'Jupiter Ascending.' Once it was released and panned across the board I ended up skipping it. I may have to check it out just to see how bad it actually is. I watched 'The Intouchables' last night. A bit cliche perhaps, but entertai...

^Will absolutely add Legend to the list. Thanks for the recommendation.

Favorite film released in 2015: The Salt of the Earth https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OivMlWXtWpY Other films released in 2015 that I enjoyed: Ex Machina Mad Max: Fury Road Inside Out Sicario Mission: Impossible – Rogue Nation The Martian Films released in 2015 that I haven't had a chance to see yet...

As am I.

Kumiko, the Treasure Hunter

This one was a bit odd: Can't say that I'd recommend it, but glad I watched it.

Not sure I've seen Origins or heard much about it, but The Wolverine was better than I expected. I think I may have referenced that incorrectly: the title was actually X-Men Origins: Wolverine, and had Liev Shreiber as Sabretooth. The Wolverine was alright though. Finished watching The Man From Unc...

I'll most likely end up seeing X-Men Apocalypse. Those movies tend to be fun, although I think I skipped seeing Wolverine Origins and X-Men First Class in the theater. Still actually haven't seen Wolverine Origins. I'd heard it was bad. Not sure about Independence Day at this point though. Just watc...

And like Norm mentioned, we got to meet up and put faces to names. And yes, he did get a personally autographed, authentic, one-of-a-kind markuspoop autograph. I'll add that both Norm and his friend, Scott, didn't seem to be murder-y or rape-y at all. So that was good. I'll take that as an official...

Really good/fun show in L.A. tonight. Maynard sad he was fighting the flu, but everything sounded great from where I was in the balcony. Missed meeting the chill (some other time & place perhaps), but I count myself extremely lucky to have met and acquired the signature of the notorious marcuspo...

^Other than Ænema, when do they mention anything about L.A. in their songs?

There's definitely an indifference, but I don't think it's as clear as you seem to think it is, except of course when they schedule a new tour...lol

Ugh. I'm starting to hate myself for being a fan.

WTF!!! Los Angeles gets the shaft again.

^Congratulations on getting tickets Kittaan! I'm sure you'll find someone in need of two.

the chill wrote:Hahaha^ ok 1 SF and 1 LA

Okay, cool. Now that it's settled:

Hey, Junior...can you make that happen? It'd be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

the chill wrote:I actually hope they play 2 SF shows and really get into the groove...

Hey man! Two SF shows?! Really. Two SF shows, followed by two SD shows?! Not cool.

There's a fairly decent sized metropolis about two-thirds of the way from SF to SD that would like some Tool love ya know.

^Along similar lines, I'd never seen "Big Trouble In Little China" straight through from beginning to end until this past summer. The film is obviously dated in some aspects, but it's still great particularly because of Kurt Russel's character. I now wish there'd been a series of movies ab...

These discussions about other music we enjoy are really a treat, primarily because it's so varied.

We're all here because of Tool's music (I assume), yet the other music listed here reveals how different our tastes really are.

Fascinating, illuminating, and always educational. Thanks for sharing.

^Absolutely! Once the new album is released! I imagine it'll be something like this by then.

Thanks for the heads up Norm! I was hoping there would be a NorCal show, so this is welcome news. However, sucks that it's at BGA again in that it's a zoo getting a decent spot. Better than it being at an arena like Oakland or San Jose though... I may have to bag the SD trip now. Harder to justify ...

San Francisco show just announced via Toolband.com. AN EVENING WITH TOOL IN SAN FRANCISCO (JANUARY 6TH) TOOL will be performing live at the BILL GRAHAM CIVIC AUDITORIUM in SAN FRANCISCO, CALIFORNIA on WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 6th. TICKETS for this "EVENING WITH TOOL" (meaning, no support acts) g...
