i just saw "W" the other day. really good film.

i feel like it was probably very representational of what happened in the bush admin.

the only thing that sucks is that it made me feel sorry for bush. like he's a guy who spent most of his life just wanting to party and stuff, and then spent the rest of the time trying to live up to his father.

I clicked "not interested" on netflix just yesterday.

nocigar (April 16, 2009)

i don't care what he wanted to do, hoped to do. i would never feel sorry for that assclown.

i dont know...

i think underneath every 'evil' exterior, there is a real person underneath it, who is either grossly misunderstood, or (more likely), a troubled soul lashing out.

in this case, the director seemed to present him as a person who was driven mad by his failures, and had a severe inferiority complex. all caused mostly by his family.

i'm not defending him really, i'm just presenting what might be a possible reasoning for his awful actions.

badbrain (April 16, 2009)

I always thought he seemed like he'd be a decent/fun guy to have some drinks with, he was just a shitty president. I mean I'd be a shitty president too so whatever

It just didn't interest me. We haven't had enough time to reflect and look back to really absorb everything. I get that it's about his rise to "power" and shit but I don't think it can be seen clearly enough yet.

Also, he's a god damn retard who got to run one of the most powerful nations on earth for 8 years. Hell of a lot better than drawing with Crayons.

apparently this is what happened to Cougars? http://www.myspace.com/greatsolarstance

blanktapesemptybottles (April 16, 2009)

and then this? http://www.myspace.com/mattschneider am I following this right?

Dante3000 (rich) (April 16, 2009)

Looks like that first band is an older one. Said active until 2002...Still WTF Cougars.

ffwoodycooks (April 16, 2009)

i doubt it was representational of what happened in the bush admin, since Oliver Stone directed it.

miniblindbandit (April 16, 2009)

i have not liked anything he's done since jfk.

ffwoodycooks (April 16, 2009)

im not 100% sure if ive seen any that he made after that. i just know he usually uses conspiracies and inaccuracies in his films, which i dont have a problem with. Im just saying his films shouldnt be regarded as being accurate depictions.

LookingForCorpses (April 16, 2009)

Definitely My problem is that most of his films seem to be thought of as factual, when they usually aren't. Don't know if he's to blame or the public or what.

Dante3000 (rich) (April 16, 2009)

Should have been done by Michael Bay.

ffwoodycooks (April 16, 2009)

yeah, i was really looking forward to the scene where Bush rides the exploding tiger through the army of snake people. totally let down when i saw the movie.

blanktapesemptybottles (April 16, 2009)

Chris Chasse doesn't like to stay in bands? Is this what I'm learning?

What are you talking about? RTS broke up. Rise Against he either quit or was fired from. Last of the Believers was just a project he was working on.

trevor905 (April 16, 2009)

agreed

LookingForCorpses (April 17, 2009)

Hope you're agreeing with me and not the other dude. Otherwise, I hope you're not allowed to drive.

Ear rape is not a victimless crime.

Death By Stereo? Hope they don't play at venues with open windows.

why? are you planning to fart?

MattRamone (April 16, 2009)

Death By Death By Stereo.

miniblindbandit (April 16, 2009)

he's ex-death by stereo so that would make him resurrected by stereo. so he's either a zombie or jesus.

MattRamone (April 16, 2009)

Pride and Predjudice and Hardcore.

ffwoodycooks (April 16, 2009)

is that like a comic book or is it as legitimate book? i dont feel like googling.

miniblindbandit (April 16, 2009)

legitimate book. the dude's next one is going to be Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter.

MattRamone (April 16, 2009)

Well he said it was either that or Adolph Hitler, Time Traveler.

CBSrocksteady (April 16, 2009)

Reach The Sky was fucking awesome

sugarfull (April 16, 2009)

hopefully it's not a split single.

BarleyPat (April 17, 2009)

You say that like it's a bad thing

Tom1022 (April 17, 2009)

i can't believe i've never heard this joke before. well done.

Dante3000 (rich) (April 16, 2009)

I'm going to be a dick because this is brought up in every story of this band, Brett was also in Last of the Believers. I get that it's a different band but every fucking article credits Chris with LOTB and not Brett.
BAH.

LookingForCorpses (April 16, 2009)

I got the vibe LOTB believers was kind of just a solo project type thing for Chris; that he did everything and just got dudes to play in it.

MattRamone (April 16, 2009)

Shut up, Dante.

JayTee (April 16, 2009)

Overproduced, bland, moderately paced, rockstar, fucking garbage that would make Unwritten Law's bad shit look good.

But hey that's just me.

Hey_Asshole (April 16, 2009)

United Nations Afire

Mallpunk (April 17, 2009)

So is it still ripping off Rise Against if it contains a member of said band?

lol @ the "bad unwritten law" comment

no bands career is more polarized...haha

Mallpunk (April 17, 2009)

seriously though...it's like a less hardcore and more bland rise against!

LookingForCorpses (April 17, 2009)

Sounds to me like older Rise Against with a bit of Ignite. Less hardcore?
