Nextflix Reviews - Game Over, Man!

3 slackers, Alexxx, Darren & Joel, with airhead ideas but big dreams work as cleaners in a hotel. They get overtime for the evening in the hotel roof bar to cater at the party of a massive millionaire internet celebrity Bae Awadi and use the chance to pitch their idea for an interactive VR gaming suit to him. Things are looking good, Bae likes the idea and orders a cheque written. It's just a shame that a gang of criminals choose this evening to strike, intent in extorting Bae's father's cash. Things go awry and it ends up being a hostage situation but the trio manage to evade capture and set about taking back the building and claiming their investment.

The trio of protagonists are played by Adam DeVine, Anders Holm and Blake Anderson respectively and apparently are all from a comedy show called Workaholics? I've never heard of it at all, so either it never came to the UK or it just went under my radar. This film was cool for a quick late night mindless viewing but I'm not sure I'd bother seeking out the cast's previous work though.

The humour is pretty vulgar and gross out and very silly too and the trio aren't exactly loveable but I actually quite enjoyed the film. It certainly won't make my top film list ever but it had enough laughs and gross out groans to make me think that I hadn't totally wasted my 101 minutes. It's been very badly reviewed on sites like Rotten Tomatoes with a 9% approval rating but I'd say watch it for yourselves and judge it. Personally I thought it had some good unique ideas for some of the situations and some of the violent scenes were surprisingly dark I thought.

I wanted to say that it's like Die Hard mixed with.. but then I couldn't think of a gross-out, daft comedy to compare it to and I'm not sure if it's because I haven't watched enough modern comedies to find a comparison or if it's just unique. I suspect it's the former.

I did a little research into the actors backgrounds to see if I'd seen them on anything previously and found that DeVine was the voice of The Flash in The Lego Batman Movie and Anderson has a small part in Scouts Guide to the Zombie Apocalypse which I reviewed recently HERE.

Geek Tee friday - Marshal Law

Check out my other Geek Tee BLOGS

So I don't have a great deal of Geek shirts as most of my many, many shirts are Heavy Metal related and to be honest I have sooooooo many I really shouldn't buy any more. This though, this shirt gets a bye as I could not resist it. I never even knew they did Marshal Law shirts so as soon as I saw this I had to send me money. It was pretty cheap priced as well, like £11 incl. P&P I think!! Total bargain to my mind.

Marshal Law is not a hero, he hates heroes, he hunts them in fact. In the future in the city of San Futuro, a post earthquake big one San Francisco, he is a lawman. In the war heroes were genetically engineered as soldiers, now the conflict is over traumatized super powered war veterans roam the streets, many in gangs causing mayhem. It's Law's job to take down the rogue 'heroes', a job that he relishes.

Marshal Law comics are "a satire on the superhero genre as well as a deconstruction of the superheroes of the Golden Age and Silver Age. The series is characterized by its extreme graphic violence and nudity, and Mills' skewering of superhero conventions and US government policy and society.

Created by Pat Mills & Kevin O'Neill, Marshal Law 1st appeared in Marvel comics Epic line, before moving house 1st to Toxic! a cult but short lived UK comic then Dark Horse then back to Epic again for a 2-parter. He has also crossed over with characters such as The Mask & Pinhead from the Hellraiser movies. There was talk for a long time about a Marshal Law movie but nothing seems to have come to fruition and he's not featured in a new comic since 2002 and that was just a cameo in 2000AD. Mind you another old Toxic! comic star Accident Man recently came out as a movie so there is still hope I guess. I'd also love to see him be reprised in comics for the current generation used to all the superhero blockbuster movies. Law Vs. Thanos would be a laugh, the Marshal would probably stick the Infinity Gauntlet right up Thanos' forbidden zone with a couple of nukes attached and I bet he'd find an inventive way to do in Deadshot!

   

To Boldy Watch - Part 2

So next on my trip through the Trek universe I'm gonna watch the animated series. A customer in my old job gave me this as a present which was very nice of him, but I've never really got around to watching it yet. That changes today.

This series dates from 1973-74 and was made to meet the demand from the fans after the original series ended in 1969 and I suppose it tided people over for a while before the motion picture series started in 1979. Most of the cast from the original voice their animated counterparts except for Walter Koenig (Chekov) although he did write an episode. There are also a couple of characters added to fill Chekov's role on board the Enterprise. Apparently this was down to budgetary reasons and originally Nichelle Nichols (Uhura) & George Takei (Sulu) were going to be voiced by other actors but Leonard Nimoy (Spock) refused to do the job unless the original actors were employed as he felt they were essential to the ethnic diversity of the 23rd century.

It ran for 2 seasons and has 22 episodes and is as close to the original series to my mind as it's possible to be in regards to story style and characterisation. The animation is quite basic but it's of it's time really and isn't distracting from the entertainment of the stories. Also the format gave the writers more freedom to be creative, allowing for more alien looking other races rather than just rubber suits and more freedom of movement for them too. I've got to say I don't recall seeing any of these cartoons back in the day at all. Apparently they were shown on the BBC but I don't recall that at all.

Similar themes are explored to those of the original series as they assist planets & beings in danger and often get into scrapes themselves with strange forces trying to take over their ship. You get the familiar races from the show, Romulans, Klingons, Vulcans. The Klingons aren't as scary or menacing here though almost as if they are played for laughs judging by the strange voices of them. Tribbles return too, that's the trouble with them always popping up when you don't want them! Also Harry Mudd pops up to cause trouble. He's a character I remember from the latest Discovery series who I didn't recall from watching the original show. I probably did see him before in the original series but just forgot, it's been a while. Hey that's part of the point of going on this Star Trek marathon, (or Trek-trek if you prefer!), to remind myself of the old series I loved and catch up with all that I've missed or simply forgotten. My highlight involves Mudd as he infects the crew with some 'love crystals' which makes for a pretty funny episode for sure!

So in summary if you love Trek and haven't checked this out already then I definitely recommend it, it's a little different to the original series in some ways but is close enough I think for fans of the original cast to enjoy.

Nextflix Reviews - Scouts Guide to the Zombie Apocalypse

Want to know what to 'watch next' on Netflix? Check out my Nextflix Reviews

I saw this come up a while ago on Netflix and kind of pre-judged it, I thought it would be low budget, badly made rubbish but I am glad I was way off with that assessment as it's actually pretty good. OK it is daft, of course it is, the clues in the name but it's actually pretty funny with some good action and special effects. There are a few laugh out loud moments and some gross out stuff. 

So the local unpopular, cos it's soooo uncool, scout troop are off out on a camp. The scout leader gets infected early leaving just the 3 teenage boys in camp. Ben & Carter sneak out heading to a party, they are planning on quitting scouting soon anyway as they don't wanna lose their cool cred now they are getting older and want to get with girls. They only stuck around this long for their mate Augie who feels betrayed. I don't know why I bothered mentioning that who watches these comedy horrors for character story anyway? Really all you need to know is that it's 3 scouts and a cocktail waitress they meet up with running away from zombies A LOT and killing them in funny & inventive ways in an effort to stay alive.

The zombies are pretty fast and strong but seem to concentrate on throwing our heroes around more than biting them which helps. Animals are also affected by the virus too which you don't see very often in zombie films, there is one scene here that if not played for laughs would be very scary in a serious horror. They discover that the air force are going to bomb the town at 3AM and want to warn the people at the party before the zombies arrive there or the bombs get dropped on them. Lucky they have all their scout training to be prepared for the zombie apocalypse.

Scouts forever!

Nextflix Reviews - DevilMan : Crybaby

Want to know what to 'watch next' on Netflix? Check out my Nextflix Reviews



Back in the early nineties I remember getting into Manga movies. I don't remember where I 1st learned of them to be honest. Maybe I saw an advert in a magazine or perhaps the awesome adverts featuring the music of Celtic Frost came as a trailer on a video shop rental or something. I do recall the 1st one that I got that opened the floodgates for me was Urotsukidōji, The Legend of the Overfiend. My interest in them never went overboard I have maybe 10 VHS in my collection but I never went beyond that. I actually had a Devilman video but it's been years since I watched it and as I have quite a lot of videos and no player anymore I don't know if I ever will!! One thing I do remember or maybe I mean don't remember is that the person who turned into Devilman didn't spend a load of the time crying. 



The story goes that devils are set to reclaim the earth from humanity by possessing and transforming them. Akira Fudo is told of this coming conflict by his childhood best friend Ryo Asuka who has the knowledge to get someone to take on a demon without losing their soul at the same time. At a nightclub Ryo creates the conditions to let the demon Amon into Akira without losing his humanity which is symbolised by his need to cry a lot?! At the same time other patrons of the club get fully possessed by demons and Akira/Amon aka DevilMan destroys them all. That's episode one and then over the next 9 episodes the demon possession plague grows and spreads with DevilMan fighting tooth & claw to try and stem the tide. As Akira when he's not fighting demons he has a bunch of school friends where he's in the track team and a long time crush Miki. Demons soon begin to threaten his friends and family and he has to protect them whilst trying to keep his demon nature secret from them.

Personally I didn't find myself connecting with the characters that much but I enjoyed the many demon fighting scenes although it was a while back since I watched it really and I can't say it was really that memorable. The ending was a bit of a surprise but I can't spoil that so I won't say anymore about it now.  I'm not sure how to summarise really, it was OK but certainly I didn't find it compelling exactly, it was just something to spend a late night watching just so I could tick it off my view list. Thinking about it now though with the intro here I am tempted to dig out a video player and go back over my old VHS Mangas. Actually thinking about it, I think the correct term for the movie versions is anime whilst the comic books are called manga. I'm just used to calling them Manga as that was the company name that bought out the videos. I'll do a blog about it if I get around to doing that at all.

Nextflix Reviews - The Alienist

Want to know what to 'watch next' on Netflix? Check out my Nextflix Reviews

Set in the late 19th century in New York it stars Daniel Brühl as  Dr. Lazslo Kreizler, the Alienist of the title. What is an alienist you may well ask, it's the name used at the time for a psychiatrist, as it was supposed that the mind was 'alienated' from a person's true nature by madness and an alienist was meant to realign them again. Assisted by his friend John Moore (Luke Evans), police secretary Sara Howard (Dakota Fanning) and Marcus and Lucius Isaacson, brother Detective Sergeants with the NYPD, he seeks to understand and bring to justice a serial killer who's been killing and dumping the bodies of 'boy whores'. Early signs point to it being someone rich with power and influence, someone who has many of the city's corrupt police force covering up for him. Utilising new techniques for the time such as psychology and finger printing the team set to find the criminal despite the efforts of some in the force trying to block them. The story also features real people from the era such as Theodore Roosevelt, 26th president of the USA, who was at the time New York City police commissioner. It also takes inspiration from true crimes with a letter sent from the killer to a victims mother being very similar to that of one sent by Albert Fish to the mother of one of his victims. 

This 10 part series is based on the book of the same name by Caleb Carr and reminds me of Ripper Street in it's feel and theme but has  one long story arc rather than each episode focusing on a more individual story. Also with it's historic criminal procedure themes it reminds me of Mindhunter another Netflix programme I saw quite recently.  I must admit this starts out seeming like it would be great but dragged a bit I felt over it's 10 episodes and I don't know if I missed something along the way but I couldn't fathom the motives of some of the characters at all. Still an interesting watch if you like period detective/crime dramas. The author has written a follow up book with these characters so time will tell if that will be dramatized for television also. I'd probably watch it but am not actively awaiting it with bated breath.

Nextflix Reviews - Pandemic

Want to know what to 'watch next' on Netflix? Check out my Nextflix Reviews

The world is ravaged by a pandemic outbreak that has 5 stages of progression. At the 5th stage victims become mindless murderous savages. The story begins inside a safe zone where Dr. Lauren Chase (Rachel Nichols) is receiving instructions on a mission outside the zone she is being sent on.

Two teams are sent out looking for non-infected survivors and also a possible cure. This is Lauren's 1st mission outside the safe zone with her team. She is the team doctor but her lack of experience in the field could potentially harm the group as they travel out by bus looking for non-infected people in an urban area where they encounter desperate & mostly dangerous people suffering from various stages of the infection. Chase has more than just the official mission objective on her mind though, she has her own agenda and a secret she is keeping from her team. They soon come across the other team's bus with all but one of it's crew on board dead with no sign of the last member. Then slowly but surely her team whittles down in size, losing their bus along the way. Despite that though she still ploughs on with her own mission when any sensible person would be considering only their own survival.

Also stars Alfie Allan (Theon from Game of Thrones)

Much of the film is in 1st person, shot from the helmet cams of the team members. This idea has been used in quite a few films now and can often be quite jarring with the picture shaking around and everything filmed in near total darkness but it's actually done pretty well here with some gritty & visceral fighting sequences. In some fights the perspective moves from camera to camera which also works quite effectively to convey the chaos and panic of the life or death melee. It also provides a couple of nasty point of view scenes which I thought were pretty well done.

Overall I thought this was a pretty decent movie with some good ideas and action sequences, well worth checking out I'd say if you like a bit of horror.

Nextflix Reviews - Temple

Want to know what to 'watch next' on Netflix? Check out my Nextflix Reviews

Why is it that tourists, adventurers, archaeologists, whoever never listen to the locals in these movies anyway? Well I suppose that is the trope isn't it, they have to ignore the locals advise about never venturing into a place or we'd have no movie at all!! It reminds me of that comedy short in the style of a horror film trailer called "Hell No!" The sensible horror movie where the protagonists don't go onto the moors or read the dark tome they've been warned against. I'll post the video here if I can find it.

The particular advise ignored in this film by 3 American tourists in Japan is to not visit a deserted mountain temple. A bookseller refuses to sell them a book about it at 1st, another person tells them it is an "unlucky" place, then when they reach the village beneath the temple in the mountains they are told what happened to a previous visitor there. He came down again holding his eyes, no not covering his eyes, holding them in his outstretched palm.

Surprise, surprise they still go anyway and the story is told within a framework where a very much worse for wear survivor of the night is explaining what happened to the Japanese authorities. The film is only 1hour & 18 minutes long and I think it takes 40 minutes to actually get to the temple. Then a few things happen in the shadows and there's some crying but it just seems to be over really quickly with out much being seen. There's what I guess is meant to be a twist of sorts but it's so obvious when it happens that I didn't even realise this was meant to be a clever reveal at all so there's no pay off at all. In summary, this isn't very scary at all, there's precious little for gore fans but at least it's short and I have seen a lot worse. There is just nothing in it to propel it into top recommendation status. Bland and unmemorable.

To Boldy Watch - Part 1

OK a guy named Allan Swain posted in the Geek Asylum group on Facebook that "it would take roughly 23 days (556 hours) to watch all of the television episodes and movies in the entire Star Trek franchise, as they were aired on television or released in the theatres (this does not include director's cuts, added scenes, remastered episodes, or any other modifications - but does remove commercials)."

These are the figures according to him, (I am far too lazy to fact check!)

Television Series
The Original Series
79 episodes x 50 minutes each = 3,950 minutes

The Animated Series
22 episodes x 23 minutes each = 506 minutes

The Next Generation
178 episodes x 44 minutes each = 7,832 minutes

Deep Space Nine
176 episodes x 43 minutes each = 7,568 minutes

Voyager
172 episodes x 43 minutes each = 7,396 minutes

Enterprise
98 episodes x 42 minutes each = 4,116 minutes

Discovery
11 episodes x 45 minutes each = 495 minutes
Total = (531 hours / ~22 days)


Movies
The Motion Picture - 132 minutes
Wrath of Khan - 112 minutes
Search for Spock - 105 minutes
The Voyage Home - 122 minutes
The Final Frontier - 106 minutes
The Undiscovered Country - 110 minutes
Generations - 118 minutes
First Contact - 111 minutes
Insurrection - 103 minutes
Nemesis - 116 minutes
Star Trek (2009) - 127 minutes
Into Darkness - 133 minutes
Beyond - 122 minutes

Total = (25.25 hours / ~1 day)







I recently watched and thoroughly enjoyed the Netflix series Star Trek Discovery, go read my review of it HERE. So that's 1 series and 495 minutes already done, although I think it's got 15 episodes not 11 so perhaps Allan did these calculations before that series ended but that's cool as it means I am even further along my Star Trek journey than I thought!! I'm not quite at Warp Factor 5 but that's 1 down at least!

I already own the box set of the Animated Series which I haven't watched fully yet, so I'll get cracking with that and post updates/thoughts/reviews as I go.

   

Nextflix Review - Star Trek : Discovery

Want to know what to 'watch next' on Netflix? Check out my Nextflix Reviews

I always liked Star Trek as a kid and sci-fi and fantasy generally and watched a ton of it but I must admit to getting out of the loop with it. I grew up and entered my drinking years I suppose you could say and with the freedom of going out and partying I lost interest in what was on the gogglebox and the programmes I used to enjoy. I caught a few episodes of Next Generation, Deep Space 9, Voyager but it was no longer must-see TV for me. Now I've slowed down with things from that chapter of my life (yes I'm getting old and past it), and since my redundancy I have a lot more free time on my hands and I'm going to see if I can track down and catch up on the shows I missed. Hopefully they'll be on Amazon Prime & Netflix* otherwise I may have to look for bargains. I will try and make a blog diary of it on HERE as I go.

(* I have since found most of it can be viewed on Netflix, yay!)

Anyway this new series Discovery is set 10 years before Kirk and the Starship Enterprise. The main character is Michael Burnham (Sonequa Martin-Green) apparently Michael is a unisex name now?! Never knew of a woman called Michael but it could be in the future I guess!? She starts as 1st officer to Captain Philippa Georgiou (Michelle Yeoh) on board the U.S.S. Shenzou but after things go awry during an encounter she ends up in disgrace and finds herself by chance on board the U.S.S. Discovery. Starfleet are now at war and as the series progresses she discovers more about the Discovery's mission and more about it's vital role in that battle. 

Discovery is staffed with lots of interesting characters and it's cool getting to know them as the series progresses although there are plenty of twists and turns that you may or may not see coming and later in the series there's a big upheaval that shifts things quite significantly. Also no character is safe, it's not the Star trek of my youth, people die, named characters, not just guys in red shirts. Apparently there is swearing too which I must admit I never even noticed it myself but that's probably down to my own normal 4-letter word heavy vocabulary. 

Star Trek during it's 50 years of existence has often been about progressive thinking, foreseeing technological changes and spearheading social change with it's message of unity on Earth and in space. It's often credited with having the 1st interracial kiss on US television with Kirk & Uhura in 1968 although that's not quite true. In this series there is a gay couple something that could never have happened back in the 60's I doubt. I wouldn't be at all surprised if we get some transgender characters in the not too distant future and that's a great thing, I doubt I'll be around in another 50 years, although it's possible, it'd be interesting to see how much it changes to stay current with the society of it's time and what things are on it possibly foreseeing what's to come.

Film Review - Wonder Woman

I am a sucker for a superhero movie and especially those with DC comics characters as I am a big DC fan. I won't disparage any Marvel movies cos they've all been pretty decent but it annoys me all these Marvel fans that slag off the DC movies. They have a different focus with their films, more serious, not trying to be buddy movies and comedies. I was really hopeful that Wonder Woman would be a success, otherwise all the DC naysayers would've jumped on it as they always do. So I went to see this at the cinema with high hopes and I was not disappointed and in fact I was pretty delighted as this film got practically universal appraise. So now I have it on DVD too as I have to keep my super-film collection as up to date as I can 👸 (I was looking for a smiley and this one looks a bit like Wonder Woman)

As mentioned before in my Wonder Woman blog Diana and her tribe of warrior woman, The Amazons live on Themyscira. She is born of magic, the youngest person on the island, shaped from clay by her mother Hippolyta and brought to life by a thunder bolt from Zeus. It is her destiny to battle the evil god of war Aries if he ever returns as he is expected to do some day. Isolated on their island though they do not realise that war has encompassed the world of man beyond their magically hidden borders. They are alerted soon enough when Steve Trevor, an american spy working for the British crash lands into the sea. Diana rescues him just in time for boatloads of pursuing Germans to emerge through the magical island obscuring fog. After a battle where some Amazons die and the Germans are all eliminated they question Trevor and Diana becomes convinced that Aries is abroad in man's world and is determined that it is her duty to go out and put a stop to him.

So Dianna accompanies Steve to man's world during the end days of WWI, the armistice is due to be declared but General Ludendorff who she determines to be Ares and his scientist Dr. Maru have plans to prolong the war and even perhaps win it with the creation of a new terrible poison gas weapon. 

There's plenty of action and a dash of humour as Dianna is out of her element and unfamiliar with the way man's world works, the role of women in this era not being like it is today, I think they'd only just got the right to vote at this point in time in the UK. As you can imagine the top brass won't listen to her and no one believes in ancient Greek gods anymore. Eventually Diana with Steve and a small team of his friends go to Europe to face the enemy head-on in some great action sequences and end up confronting Ludendorff who is planning to drop gas and Ares finally appears for an epic battle.

Nextflix Reviews - The Villainess

Want to know what to 'watch next' on Netflix? Check out my Nextflix Reviews


So I'm going to start reviewing any interesting films and/or TV series that I discover on Netflix as so many people are always asking, "Hey what shall I watch next on Netflix,?" and I normally forget what cool things I've watched. So if I make posts about it from now on I can remind myself can't I? 

So 1st up is the film The Villainess which is a high action, violent martial arts rampage of a movie. The opening protracted ultraviolent sequence plays a bit like Hardcore Henry meets Oldboy. In 1st person mode our heroine, (at least I think she's more of a heroine than a villainess to be honest, although she certainly is conflicted), plows her bloody way through a multitude of gangster looking types with guns and blades. We (or she) switch from this perspective after she gets her head smashed into a mirror. The rest of the bloodbath (and the film) then ensues in 3rd person mode. 

In the aftermath of this slaughter she is caught by a shadowy organisation, perhaps government sanctioned and trained by them as an undercover operative. A spy/assassin kind of akin to the film Nikita. She is found to be pregnant and has a baby daughter which she raises inside the organisations prison like training camp. She makes friends and enemies there and she eventually gets let out, the idea is she has to give the organisation 10 years of her life then she'll get her freedom. 

From then we see how she deals with life once she is released into the world and she tries to create a semblance of a normality for herself and her daughter whilst doing the agency's bidding and also being the focus of their machinations. Throughout we are shown flashbacks of her history and what led up to the initial bloodbath the movie started with and things from her past begin to catch up with her resulting in a clash between her new alliances and her old ones which doesn't leave very many survivors.

The action is fast and nasty and there were a couple of points that had me exclaim, "Ooh steady on there film, that was a bit much!"

All in all a very enjoyable, bloody, violent, action packed hit as far as I am concerned. It's a South Korean film, released in 2017 and has subtitles so if you're one of those people who don't like them it may not be for you.

DC Exhibition: Dawn of Super Heroes

So, I'd seen the ads, I'd seen people's posts about it on Facebook and I decided that I had to go and see it for myself, so off I jolly well trotted to the O2 at North Greenwich at 12 O'clock today to go and see the DC heroes on display. And jolly glad I am that I did cos it was fab. 

Click to enlarge

The venue was pretty quiet today which was nice, I could take my time poring over all the cool vintage art from 80 years of comics action. All the great names I knew from my collecting days and even a fair few I'd not heard of were on display. I was fascinated with the way it was put together with annotations in the borders and with the lettering and page banners etc all applied on top of the drawn page. You could see the alterations made as well and penciled guidelines. 

I love the older comics with their hokey stories and dated notions of romance, they have a kind of naive innocence of a bygone era that always tickles me.

If you are more interested in the movies rather than their source material then you shouldn't be upset as there are a wealth of props, models, costumes, concept art and storyboards from all the DC hero films and even some focus on the old 60's and animated Batman shows. The display rooms were divided by characters with focus on the more recent crop of movies. So Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman, Suicide Squad & The Justice League all got plenty of coverage. I would have liked a Green Lantern dedicated room as well but with the unfair negative feedback that movie got there was no chance of that!

Upon entering the exhibition you can get an audio exhibition guide which was easy enough to use and gave some fascinating insight into the comics world. My only real gripe was the lighting which was very muted. The info plaques were black with the white text on them in pretty small font and it made them hard to read. I also missed a load of the audio guide number prompts probably due to the lack of light also. (Although I am not sure if that was the fault of the light's dimness or my own!) Perhaps I was too enraptured by the art to notice the numbers.

Another small gripe but probably only specific to old bums with flat feet like me was that there could've been a few more seats to park weary butts in for a while.

Anyway, in summary I thoroughly enjoyed my couple of hours and thought it was excellent value for money. If it sounds like your cuppa tea the exhibit runs till September the 9th.

I love the stories of H.P. Lovecraft and the dark beings of his Cthulhu mythos but I also like a laugh and this cute Cthulhu shirt is great, especially when juxtaposed with my big ugly hairy mug!

I need more Lovecraft geeky tees for sure though. One is not enough really but I am trying to be good though as I have a blooming mountain of heavy metal shirts already.
