There will be beards in this film. Beyond that, nothing will be worth watching.

I always thought that a movie based off of Blood Mountain would be awesome.

...But Crack the Skye is close enough.

Followed by The Wall perhaps.

am i the only one who gets that mastodon dont take themselves seriously? this (if it gets made) will likely be corny and bad as hell, but i doubt mastodon would have it any other way.

I would watch it. only as long as the band are the actors so i can laugh about how bad they are at acting, divinations was not a well acted music video.

No, in fact I don't understand why so many people think this band is serious, they have never struck me as pretentious at all. I definitely picture this being a comedic B-movie.

I make sure that I use the word pretentious when I talk about other bands; this way people believe I REALLY know my music.

Mastodon is just 4 guys having fun playing metal. They aren't trying to be Pink Floyd or The Who. They just wanna have fun. So let them make this movie. I'm all in favor of it.

It's funny... so many comments about being "pretentious" and making a movie not being a good idea... You guys are all missing the the point. These guys obviously don't care what you think. They are going to do whatever they want. This is what makes their music great....

No, their music is made great by terrific songwriting and composition. Not crappy movies.
