  5. I dunno, with the OT, you at least had a sense of time passing. We never felt that Luke didn't earn it or that the force was handed to him on a silver platter.

  9. I'm waiting on an EMU Proteus 2000, and I'm really excited! I'm seeing a lot of people say it's dated and geared towards hip-hop, but I'm looking forward to seeing what kind of stuff I can wrangle out of it in a very different context.

  10. Y'all just need to stop whining and wait for the 35th anniversary rerelease. I guarantee you they'll find previously undiscovered sources, and Schindler's List will sound better than ever!

  14. Well, S2 was certainly better than S1. At least it had an engaging (if confusing) plot and more characters among the crew, even if they often were only fleshed out quickly before the plot needed them to be (i.e. not long enough in the case of , which as a result felt rather gimmicky). The visuals and effects are still all over the place, with the camera flying around upside down and constantly tilting every way, just because it can. Tilly is still likeable and amusing (in small doses) and still way too over the top and thus often just annoying. The writing is still all over the place, to the extent that by the time the finale came along I could barely remember half of it and couldn't tell if many things were just poorly handled plot strains or gaping plot holes (although I suspect it's the latter in many cases). I was especially confused by Po at the beginning of the first part of the finale, but apparently that refers to Short Treks which I was completely unaware of until just now. The pacing and (deliberately?) clunky plotting confuses because characters constantly show up out of nowhere without explanation, sometimes wth no apparent way of getting there at the time (e.g. Sarek and Amanda near the end of the season - I don't think they were holograms). The ultimate solution to the TOS timeline problem caused by the Discovery's existence seems superficially epic, but also highly implausible. The Discovery is still and ugly ship, although the Enterprise is gorgeous. The show's main draw is perhaps Anson Mount, who makes a phenomenal Pike. I have no idea how a third season is supposed to continue from here. Going along with the Discovery seems a bit like a cop out, and also would remove one of the more engaging aspects of S2 (i.e. its close relation to elements directly connected with established canon), although I suppose it has to happen. Personally, I'd be much more interested in another Enterprise/Pike season. Oh, and S2 actually had some good music.

  15. The thing is, Rey seems so unusually powerful, it seems highly unlikely that the force never manifested in her before. I think it's only common sense to question that.

  16. I'm 100% positive they will change the story in Ep9 to make her that yes. And I will laugh. So her personality traits are she's too nice? She believes her parents care about her because she's so nice and forgiving. She believes Kylo can be good because she's so nice and forgiving, which is utterly pathetic because about a day before that, she witnessed him murder his own father, brutally wound her friend Finn, and she even fought him in a lightsaber duel... Even what people describe as her faults are actually positives. She's too nice...

  17. Can someone please tell me Rey's motivations? It's not her parents because she admits to knowing all along that they were losers who abandoned her. So...is there any reason for her to be doing anything she does? Could someone perhaps describe her personality? Does she have one? Can someone describe her character?

  19. So to you, if a film is two hours long, the story has to take place during two hours in the world of the film? There cannot be any jumps in time?

  30. Listened to Dragonslayer by Alex North for the first time in a while. Of course a score this robust and layered was bound to cut up in a 1980's movie ,of all places, but thankfully we have the whole musical story preserved on album. Alex North often used dissonance as a natural part of his vocabulary rather than a simplistic way of saying "Something evil is afoot!" (see Leonard Bernstein's Symphony in C, I think it was), and the dissonance here, while in its more extreme weavings spells out danger and intensity in the way only an old-school dude like him could, often speaks to a certain level of journey and adventure. There are a lot of times where the music slowly lurches forward, sitting on a particular mood for an astonishingly long period of time for a film score. This score to me is a great musical analogy to a hiking trip, filled with moments of uneventful walking, occasional moments of fear and adrenaline (ever see a mountain cougar stare at you from 100m away?), and the occasional blissful explosion that comes from stumbling upon a beautiful sight. Just when a track starts to lose interest, he'll throw in some bizarre, funky figure with very different orchestration, the result being a score that deftly juggles your ear between fatigue, complacency, and satisfaction when North provides your craving ear a different flavor, very astonishingly balanced. Definitely not album for track highlights, and I highly recommend listening to this one start to finish as a compelling, jagged mood album.

  31. The scene they have in The Last Jedi portrays them as brother and sister way better than any of the other movies. It's like John Williams wrote the theme for it three decades beforehand!

    I think it could've been told better, for sure, but there are more problems with Return of the Jedi than that.

  37. And they were much more interested in the '73/'77 period. A podcast/book/article on Williams and/or Spielberg's early years by Thor Joachim Haga would be greatly welcome and appreciated! BTW, the first episode is now available on Apple Podcasts and Spotify. Give it a listen!
