Thanks bud! That's very nice of you to say.

I have written reviews (movie and album) for over 25 years in some form or another...never professionally though...mainly because I don't wanna watch (or listen) to garbage which you'd have to if you'd be doing it professionally! :D

The good old days!!

I can't go quite that far back but all I need to do is go back about 10 or so years...T-Shirts at shows were either 20€ or 25€ depending on the design... Now I'm seeing them at 40€ to 50€! I mean what the heck?! It costs what...5€ MAX to make one...it's crazy.

I think on the last two gigs that I've been to...Slayer's final show back in 2019 and Judas Priest's show 2018 the shirts were 35€ a pop and I did NOT buy one becuse I thought they were too expensive...and now...holy moses!


Here's a picture of Bruce Dickinson's recent solo tour merch in the US:



80$ for a hoodie!??!?!? 80  :twitch:

Don't know really...It does seem bit odd as both Geddy and Alex have been saying they don't want to bring Rush back...

And seeing the ticket prices from 250$ up to 1000$(!!!!) I am smelling a bit of a cash crabbing rat here...

It is possible indeed....and considering that it happened right after the Mozilla update it's quite possible that a change there made it happen.

But yeah I'm back to normal now, although it does seem that I had forgotten to put down the password of one internet casino I frequent...might have to reset my password on that one at some point.

THE PACKAGE

On the eve of a major treaty between the USSR and the USA a army sergeant Gallagher is ordered to transport a prisoner to the US. Once they land he prisoner escapes and Gallagher is blamed...but he soon discovers that the prisoner wasn't who he thought he was and accidentally involves himself and his ex-wife in a very sinister plot and are forced to go on the run and at the same time try to prevent an assassination of a high profile target.

Gene Hackman and Tommy Lee Jones star in an end of the cold war era action thriller that doesn't really let you take a rest. And both do a great job, especially Gene Hackman, who wasn't your average action star.

Director Andrew Davis already here proved that he can direct great action thrillers even before his masterpieces The Fugitive and Under Siege. The script is well written and has enough twists and turns to keep you entertained and on the edge of your seat.

Something of a forgotten gem of the late 80s this one.

THE SEVEN UPS (Courtesy of Typhon!)

A tough cop squad in the NYPD is doing some routine stakeout when one of their own gets killed by a crew that is targeting mobsters for ransom. The leader of the squad Buddy (played brilliantly by Roy Scheider) makes it his mission to find the ones responsible.

The movie starts out bit slowly setting the scene but then it explodes into one of the greatest car chases of the 70s! This has some of the same realistic grittiness that The French Connection had, which is no surprise as some of the same creative forces were behind both films. And even the main character Buddy is based on the same character that French Connection's Cloudy was based on..Sonny Grosso, who worked as a creative consultant/writer on both films. And both are loosely inspired by actual events.
Also producer Philip D'Antoni wanted William Friedkin to direct this one as well but he wasn't interested in doing another so similar film so D'Antoni directed this himself.

The car chase is rather phenomenal and most certainly the main focus point of the movie. And what is spectacular about it, it doesn't feature loud music or fast edits (which seem to be the way car chases have been done in the past 20 or so years) but long shorts and only engine and tire noices as the soundtrack...making it a very immersive experience.

The movie isn't as intense or as brilliant as The French Connection but it's clearly a gritty tough 70s cop action flick...and I have to say I am ashamed that I have never seen this before!

That can be true. Although in this case I am not 100% sure that was to blame though...as Firefox also updated itself so it is possible something went wrong with that....

Either way it is now mostly sorted...

What this prompted though was for me to go through all my passwords and copy them into a new notebook while discarding the non functioning old sites and what nots so it'll be easier to find the right ones...

This was somewhat abnormal..


I installed the new CCleaner Pro version and ran it through. All went well and it cleared my internet temp files and cache and cookies and what nots...

Well after doing that my Mozilla wouldn't allow me to login to anywhere anymore...including the Community...always said I have a problem with my cookies.

Only option left was to completely uninstall my Mozilla and reinstall...well that's when things got really annoying. As it seems that Mozilla does back up your bookmarks but NOT your saved passwords!
So now I need to manually re-login into everything! Thankfully I have all my passwords written down in three notebooks. But it takes time finding the correct ones...

Major annoyance! I still do not know what the CCleaner did (as I have done the same clean dozens of times before with the free software) now to so royally screw up my Mozilla...

I am afraid to reinstall the CCLeaner if it'll do the same again...however now I did create a mozilla account where it should (!!) back-up all my data including the passwords.

The new CATHEDRAL vinyl just arrived today!




The clear vinyl was limited to 100 copies only and all were sold out on the day of the release so I was very lucky to get my hands on one!

This is most likely the last ever "new" track released by Cathedral. This was recorded during the Last Spire album sessions but because of it's length (29min44sec) it wasn't put on the album...they recently found the recording and thought it would be suitable for a stand alone release!
So the album only contains that one track...split in to for the vinyl.

It is some epic doom for sure!

The track is called SOCIETY's PACT WITH SATAN!

Ah yes...I had a feeling this book was talked about somewhere! But it deserves a thread of it's own I think.

Literature / New OZZY OSBOURNE memoir book.
« on: October 11, 2025, 05:45:49 AM »
A new Ozzy book called LAST RITES came out this week and I bought a copy as I got a good deal on it!

The book is written by writer Chris Ayres who was behind the previous Ozzy books I Am Ozzy and Trust Me I'm Dr. Ozzy.

But again (as with I Am Ozzy) it is written (and presented) like it's Ozzy's own work...which to me is Hilarious and takes me back to the way Ozzy has pretty much always worked taking full credit of someone elses work.

The book starts off at the No More Tours II and the events that followed.


I'm looking forward in reading this one as I am sure (as it is based mostly on Ozzy just telling stories to Ayres) it'll will have some hilarious moments along with rather dire ones too.
