Some Kind of Hilarity
I am enjoying the hell out of Some Kind of Monster, the hilarious Metallica documentary that documents the heavy metal legends as they record a new album and go through group therapy. That the movie is a fine documentary on its own is no surprise, the directors Joe Berlinger and Bruce Sinofsky being behind Brother's Keeper, one of the greatest documentaries of the last 20 years. Monster really can be enjoyed on many levels, even a little sympathetically. You can't always have a ironic little smirk on your mug. It's hard not to chuckle at all the scenes of these servants of Satan getting in touch with their feelings. We are truly still awash in the Self-Help age.
My favorite scene is still the one where all the guys are writing lyrics together.
The slightly fey and stringy-haired guitarist guy:
"How bout this one guys: 'My life style determines my death style.?'"
Heavy, dude...

ahhhh.... the music of my childhood. Along with alice in chains and megadeath. I think the last two have fallen a little bit into obscurity.
