2. Your musical influences include Deftones, early Nine Inch Nails, Tool etc.

3. You are down to do crimes in Japan

Remember that film Black Rain? It's funny how certain movies are big at the time of release and then kind of get forgotten about.
"There's nothing wrong with U2. As far as I'm concerned, I've stolen from Larry Mullen's career for years. Without Larry, I wouldn't be able to stomp and sing, it'd be difficult. I mean I owe debts to the Bhundu Boys, Larry Mullen, Stewart Copeland. They're good players, and they're great songwriters" - Gary "Reni" Wren, drummer, The Stone Roses reunion press conference, 18/10/2011

"I'd just like to put on record that that's bobbins" - Ian Brown, singer, ditto

I remember the film.  3.3 stars (i th?nk)

Didn?t some guy get bur?ed in cement or something to that effect.  Actually that?s the only thing i? recall from the film.  And the title was a bit misleading too ? as there wasn?t actually any Black Rain.  Racist bastards

Andy Garcia was ambushed and killed in front of Mickey D.

The black rain refers to the colour of the rain after the atomic bombs were dropped.

A pretty good film actually.  Rented it from the video store back when video stores were a thing.

I think we watched it when stationed at Ft Polk around 1990 or so.  Literally remember nothing about it other than the title and possibly the cement,  and i suppose that it was a decent movie.

I do remember it, and it kind of deserved to get forgotten about.  Not one of Ridley Scotts better films, notwithstanding a strong cast.
