Some kind of wonderful

I'd highly recommend (for those of you who haven't seen it) to run out on Tuesday and snag a copy of the excellent documentary "Metallica: Some Kind of Monster." I got mine today ... the commentary from filmmakers Joe Berlinger and Bruce Sinofsky alone is enough to recommend a purchase. The second disc has almost 40 minutes of deleted scenes, along with other film-related gewgaws. Great stuff and don't gimme that lame excuse of "Oh, I don't listen to Metallica" or "Heavy metal music makes a boring film." Stow it. This is a riveting account of famous people falling apart and somehow finding it within themselves to snap to and pull it back together.
Go rent/buy it. You'll thank me later.
(Insert quick headbanging and triumphant devil horns here.)

  • I'll thank you now! It was a great movie, and as I write I am rocking out to St. Anger. Never would have bought it if I hadn't seen the documentary.
