Battleship Pretension the website is dedicated to being a destination for those seeking worthwhile opinions on current releases, be they foreign, independent, studio pictures, theatrical, home video releases, etc. From its meager beginnings in Los Angeles, Battleship Pretension has amassed a worldwide audience and readership.

The vibe I got is that Vulgar Auterism was less like poptimism and more like the attempts from the past few years to critically rehabilitate Nu Metal.
I’m on board with rehabilitating bands like Deftones, Slipknot and (early) System of a Down but if I start to see people going to bat for Coal Chamber and Powerman 5000, I might gag.

I original “auteur theory” developed by French film critics was about genre directors like Hitchcock & Hawks.
What was the last actually popular movie from Michael Mann?
Well, I think vulgar auterism was hoping to rehabilitate Mann’s older stuff too.

David, my initiation to pickles came from the German dish “rouladen.” It’s basically a thin-cut steak, slathered with traditional mustard w/ a few bacon strips laid down, then a pickle spear is placed at one end and it’s all “rolled up” like a pig in a blanket. Then slow-cooked in broth or gravy. Delicious!

A hidden pickle! I’d feel betrayed!
