    Metal Lords

    Black Sabbath does for this film what David Benioff thinks he's doing for "Metal Music". The film is a turd, but when you hear the beginning of War Pigs by those pesky lads from Birmingham, your ears prick up and you start to think... hang on do they have something here? They don't!

Also how historically accurate can a movie be if it has Bjork in it as no-eyes the oracle bird.

    Be kind. So true. I shall first be kind to all by saying I care about people more than I do about movies. If you like this movie, I like you. If you believe that you'll believe anything! Now I'm off to Hater Island where the weather is awful and the people are tiresome. Join me, won't you!

    The emotional and philosophical core of this film is a googly-eyed Live Love Laugh pillow owned by someone who says “awesomesauce” in…
