Wojo 2,453 Posted August 30, 2012 Share Posted August 30, 2012 Nah, last time I was in there, a hair half the length of my forearm was coiled between the bun and the meat, and any sound description of the hair and the workers behind the counter would get Don Imus fired, and it will be my life's regret that I didn't raise hell. I'll never be in that corner of Virginia again but that's hardly the point, that should have been the invitation to raise a scene. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoeinAR 1,949 Posted August 30, 2012 Share Posted August 30, 2012 Nah, last time I was in there, a hair half the length of my forearm was coiled between the bun and the meat, and any sound description of the hair and the workers behind the counter would get Don Imus fired, and it will be my life's regret that I didn't raise hell. I'll never be in that corner of Virginia again but that's hardly the point, that should have been the invitation to raise a scene.several years ago I had gone to a birthday party for my friend Lea. Afterwards on the way home I stopped at Arby's and got a Jamoca shake. I asked them to make me a new one because the one they gave me had what appeared to be a fly in the bottom. You could see black through the mostly white cup. they had no problem, the new one she gave me exploded when she tried to hand it too me. both the counter girl and I got covered in the shake. The cup was defective and I guess she squeezed to hard. They made me a third, didn't charge me at all. It was funny as hell. I couldn't get mad. I've had soda in cups do that before but never with a shake. I ended up taking a 2nd shower when I got home.As a rule I don't like their food but I do love the jamoca shakes.Oh and the fly ended up being a piece of brownie or oreo cookie.

Delorean90 42 Posted August 31, 2012 Share Posted August 31, 2012 Watched this awhile back but don't think it was ever mentioned here. Looking forward to eventually seeing this documentary:[media=] Oh, seconded. I don't know if this will be in my area any time soon, but I'll be keeping an eye out for it. From what I've read, Reeves seems to have taken a fairly balanced approach to the topic, even as his interviewees seem to run the gamut of extreme and moderate opinions. I'm personally a defender and lover of film, but I appreciate that the digital format is improving and certainly has many benefits. The problem lies in the corporate efforts to push film out of the picture entirely, when they both have strengths and weaknesses to be embraced and used for their own merits.

Koray Savas 2,251 Posted August 31, 2012 Share Posted August 31, 2012 Streitenfeld is a great composer.You go around saying things like that on a Williams-Board? Do you have no standards at all??I said it years ago when he first started writing for Ridley, been continually defending him since.Streitenfeld is a great composer.Examples, examples! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZI_2N4ydfDc[media=]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hNBq-kkiUMALooking through all his stuff on my iTunes made me realize I never listened to The Grey, which I know Rich gave high praise too. Check out Welcome To The Riley's only if you like any of the stuff I posted above. It's a short little score in his usual style. Speaking of which, he's got a very distinct one. Could hear it immediately between A Good Year and American Gangster. He's great with combining electronics and orchestra, much like Powell, but with a much more quiet and rhythmic overtone. He's very good. I hope he finally gets to write a score for someone besides the Scott family. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crocodile 7,983 Posted August 31, 2012 Share Posted August 31, 2012 After a bit standard second trailer, this third one makes me excited again:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rsuWiutfkxk&feature=player_embeddedDon officially quit the business? That's a shame - The Matrix is one of the most original scores of the last twenty years and a real masterpiece.Yes! And even if you don't like his JP3 score, it is a work clearly done by someone who knows something about an orchestra.Karol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chuck 154 Posted August 31, 2012 Share Posted August 31, 2012 There's a Jack Ryan movie in the works with Chris Pine as the titular character:It's gonna be directed by Kenneth Branagh (who is also the film's villain) and also co-starring Keira Knightley & Kevin Costner. Jack Ryan will be brought forward from his Cold War origins to post 9/11, but he is still gonna confront some nasty Russians. It will be released December 23, 2013.Anyone know what a good Jack Ryan movie before? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trent B 337 Posted September 3, 2012 Share Posted September 3, 2012 The Hunt For Red October is my favorite Baldwin film and is great, anyone who has NOT seen it yet should.

Delorean90 42 Posted September 4, 2012 Share Posted September 4, 2012 Agreed. The vibe of the film is also fantastic, thanks in large part to Jan de Bont's superb cinematography. Basil Poledouris's score hits the necessary thriller tone, but with plenty of heart and often with a convincingly nationalistic touch. One of my favorites.

Brónach 1,301 Posted September 7, 2012 Share Posted September 7, 2012 This is not what I wanted to talk about, but all right.George Lucas is a weird individual. Of the stuff he's done that I've seen, I like the script for Empire Strikes Back and I like Star Wars, as well as his script aportations to the Indy trilogy. And that's about it.About Rodley Scott: I like The Duellists, I love Alien since young and Blade Runner since I first saw it at 16. I heavily dislike Gladiator and was bored to death by Kingdom of Heaven at the time. And I'm basically just taking a piss thinking on Gladiator.

Somewhere there's a person who thinks G.I. Jane is the only good movie Ridley Scott has ever made. Like I said, I'm not in a mood for bizarro world.
