i profiled deftones — a band that grew up in the age of numetal but always managed to transcend it. thirty years later on the eve of the group’s tenth record release, they are experiencing a late career renaissance .

oh man seeing the Limey as a teen was a real moment for me being introduced to Stamp — such a great actor with the most intense eyes . rip king.

if theyre near me i lean over and say “hey can you do me a favor and stop talking” and it makes any companion im seeing the movie with very uncomfortable . worth it though.
I normally don’t curse on here but I’m sorry I have to let lose. Movie theaters are gonna fucking DIE if they don’t do something about people who don’t close their goddamn jaws during the movie. You’re not in your living rooms. You’re in a theater that people paid good money for.
