gid's not dead movie review

warning, if you're a christian you may want to either stop reading or if you have an open mind keep reading, you may find some things i say interesting. i had the profound displeasure of watching this vapid movie recently and i've been in shock since watching it but i've recovered so i'll review it. my first movie review and it's a delightful (ha!) piece of christian propaganda called god's not dead. from the title you know what to expect. i'll do a summery and point out bad plot points. a christian kid enters a philosophy class and the proffeser an atheist tells all kids that in order to pass you have to sign a decleration saying god is dead. first of all no selfrespecting professer of any subject would do this, atheist or not. sorry. second, a lot of christian (and a few nonchristian schools) make students sign a pledge that states jesus christ born of a virgin is god come in the flesh. okay. and it goes on with someone diing of cancer but a pastor helps the person become a born again christian. i've heard many faiths lost because of cancer and stillborn babys. and the film ends with a girl wanting to know more about god...anyway basicly the film makes it impossible to root for anyone. the christians are pushy and preachy and the atheists come off as such assholes you want to punch them. after watching this i stopped and said....is this how they see us? i have always been an atheist, i have never had faith in god or any deity. but i thought some christians were okay with that..guess not. this movie didn't make me say oh repent! this movie made me actually sad and hurt. i felt like a fucking alien. this is really how the christians who are the domenent force in this country see us...that's not good. this film makes me more of an antichristian, sorry god's not dead people. fuck you and fuck your god. the acting was horrible too. it's so overdramatic if calculon from futurama saw this he'd hang his head in shame. i was expecting someone from the movie to yel noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! at any moment. this movie is a piece of shit that should be avoided by atheists unless you wanna be more antichristian and christians because it may influence your beliefs and if even more people think like this i might have to leave the country. fuck god's not dead, god is dead and this movie killed him

death ...for the whole world to see lp

this is death. not that death, the other death. the one very few have heard of until recently. death was a band that existed in the early to mid 70s consisting of 3 brothers who according to the documentary wanted to play pure rock n role. sadly now if anyone mentions them they'll mention that death is the first all black band that could be labeled as punk. which to me reduces the music to a curiocity. it's like a band is the first all girl metal band. fine but are they good? well this band is great. raw and heavy, with quite a bit of melody, this is punk before punk. i love it. sadly they couldn't get a record deal because of the name death. in an age where anal cunt and cock and ball torture are sold at record stores it's hard to understand the drawbacks of this. death? pfft, my band's called satanic dogfuckers from hell. different era...it's a shame they never got signed because this album is fantastic. for some reason that i can't place this reminds me of the crowd. only earlyer. for 74 these guys were heavy as hell and even today this kicks the shit out of most punk bands. this was released in 2009 finally and i think the band did a few tours with a replacement guitarest as the one on the album died. they also released a documentary which talks about the struggles. what they don't mention and i'm a bit perplexed is that wile in 74 this band called death existed and couldn't get a record deal, 13 years later another band called death had no trouble finding support releasing records. i suppose if indi labels existed this band would have gotten signed. which would have been great because this music is fantastic. sadly the band morfed into a christian rock band then a regae band....i'm not kidding. sad. anyway pick this up and enjoy, you'll be glad you did

hail of rage fucking pissed 7 ep

I've been on a record search tonight, wondering what I should review next. I just got the new rf7 record in the mail but I need to give it a few listens first. so here I was on fuckbook when a member of one of the best local bands around happy pill trama posts this 7 inch. she said that you could feel the rage. consider my interest peaked. rage is good. the name was a tad laughable as are most new punk bands and the record title was straight to the point. I thought I'd get basic and raw as fuck hardcore, the kind that got me into this thing. think chaotic dischord but worse musicians. what I actually got was what the kids today call powerviolence, which I consider a laughably stupid name. it's just hardcore punk to me. anyway I was surprised. like with every pv band this band has a lot of tempo changes and some pretty technical (for punk standards) drum parts. and a 2 guitar attack. basic pv, enough to get me in the mood for about 20 beers. but what it didn't have...the rage....nowhere. gone. now when I think of rage the first person that comes to mind is john Brannon of negative approach. that dude's voice is so powerful after the first song oon a na record or live recording I'm hooked and I don't know if I should mosh or punch someone. the fact that no one is usually around is a good thing I think. or bands like fear of god with Erich's evil as fuck vocals. this...this sounds like the singer is annoyed at something, maybe he's had a bad day, maybe the football teem lost or he's behind on a house payment. this doesn't sound like the tortured shouts of a man forced to homeless by the capitalist scum. not in the slightest. don't get me wrong it's better than whoever that band was that did the song punching holes in the world that singer just dispassionitly talked his way through the song (blablabla punching holes in the world, can I go now) but...I just don't hear the white hot rage of 80s hardcore bands. this guy's good but he should change the title of this to slightly annoyed and hail of rage to hail of grumbling. it's a good record, strong musicly but the main selling point is the anger (don't pretend it's not) maybe if they turned the vocs up in the mix and maybe if the producer smacked the singer around a few times with raw meat we'd get a better performance. here's a tip for the singer for this band. when you're about to record, touch a very hot pot with your bare hands. that way you'll make a convincing record

corrupt mind control e.p cd

corrupt is a socalled death/thrash band from my hometown. I knew of them by name I think and so was interested in hearing what they sounded like. however the only thing I could find was a few shitty live recordings. not to worry, they said they were releasing an ep soon....soon? how come I never heard about it? well I can get the new psycho record before it comes out but I can't get anyone around my hometown to actually tell me when they're releasing anything. thanks cunts! anyway I found this and put it on, holy fuck is this good. a little sloppy at first but that's how thrash should be. good production, you can still hear the raw sound but everything sounds good. the music though is straight up old school death metal. no bullshit, this will kill you. everything is as chaotic as it can get and Elliott loves chaos. 4 songs in 16 minutes...great guitars, great drums, great bass, great vocals. honestly it takes a lot to get me into local bands but I'm loving this band. download this thing or get a cd somehow. you need this if you like metal. get it or die!!!
