THE DAMNED THINGS — what are they? Why are they? These are questions NO ONE ever asks. And yet, here we are…

9 wee years ago, Scott Ian - guitarist, beard-man and co-founder of legendary thrash metal outfit, ANTHRAX - took a meeting with the lowly Joe Trohman (also a guitarist, and a co-founder, of the band FALL OUT BOY). While Joe had no beard to speak of, he and Scott hit it off, and started making songs together. Weird, right? Well, they both love THIN LIZZY, and catchy, dirty rock ’n roll music – and doggone, they we’re going to make some of that greasy stuff!

Venom

Such a shame. Venom had the potential of being a completely badass movie. Except that it’s not. But still, it’s not as horrible as some other reviews have made it out to be. It’s just kinda dumb.

Tom Hardy stars as Eddie Brock, an investigative reporter who is trying to bounce back from a scandal but ends up acquiring an extraterrestrial parasite called Venom. The two of them don’t get along... Venom because he doesn’t like being called a parasite, Eddie because he doesn’t like turning into a lacquer-black monster with huge fangs that rips other people’s heads off.
