This theme (which I agree with the YT comments, sounds like an adapted version of the 90s animated theme) is dominated by that wonderful driving ostinato, like Robin Hood Prince of Thieves. Starts at 1:42 and appears again at 10:23. But I think it’s great, and it certainly qualifies for a darker style Superman type theme as rumors suggest for Kamen’s early ideas. I don’t have the disc, but I’ve heard the liner notes aren’t too helpful either. This may be a dumb question, because grant you, I only listened to the first disc and skimmed the second, but does this ostinato and theme appear elsewhere in the score? Again, my lack of familiarity may have caused me to miss it.

Okay, so I keep coming back to this score, because the End Credits are so damn cool! And they’re not on the OST, so if you want ‘em, you gotta get the LLL. Fine,but… The End Credits don’t represent the score!!! I keep scanning through the score, wishing and hoping to find the same driving textures and motifs, but they aren’t there. X-Jet has the motif, but it’s buried under synth. I clearly don’t know the history of this like many of you. Is it possible this suite was assembled from an early rejected score that Kamen recorded? Or demos? This is maddeningly frustrating.

THE ORVILLE - Show Discussion
Andy replied to #SnowyVernalSpringsEternal's topic in General Discussion
Yes, if she can get them, sure. If not, she should do the Orville. It's a steady gig. I'm just spitballing, but she probably wants a role of her own, and not one that is dwarfed by writer/producer/actor/creator McFarlane. But if she can't get that, well... that's Hollywood. -

THE ORVILLE - Show Discussion
Andy replied to #SnowyVernalSpringsEternal's topic in General Discussion
Well, the way I see it, she’s not a star and should take what she can get. And if that’s the Orville, she should do it. She’s lovely, and talented, but she’s over 30 which makes her 90 in Hollywood years. Her ship sailed with the GI Joe role and the failed Wonder Woman pilot, which I only connected her with after seeing her on the Orville. -

QUARTET RECORDS ANNOUNCES: UNCOMMON VALOR (James Horner) (Remastered) 2024
Andy replied to Amer's topic in General Discussion
Samples sound great. I had written this off assuming it was a Commando clone, but no, there's much more to it. This just shot to the top of my list! -

Oh nice! I never got the Intrada. -
@Nick1Ø66 Hawk is definitely on my list! Thanks for the clips, it looks craptacular! Jack Palance looks like he’s having a jolly good time hamming it up. Conansploitation movies looked like they could be made for very little money, a little rotoscoping, convincing poster art, and boom you’ve got a movie.

Temple of Doom is celebrating 40 years in 2024
Andy replied to Edmilson's topic in General Discussion
Yesssssss all of that. Like Empire, the film has great cinematic contrasts. The clean polished nightclub, the jungle, the supersaturated reds and shadows, and the blinding daylight of the finale, making their escape from darkness literal and joyous. -

Deathstalker (1983) Oh this is ridiculously fun! Antihero Richard Hill wears a blonde wig the production designer got at a Halloween store. The story is so thin, there’s nothing to get in the way of all the fights, rotoscoping magic effects, and oh yeah tons of nudity. This is a Conan ripoff done right. Deathstalker does indeed battle a pig headed monster like in the poster. Oddly enough, this came out the same year as Return of the Jedi, and the monster in the film looks a bit like one of Jabba’s Gamorrean Guards. Lana Clarkson plays Deathstalker’s woman. A Valeria to his Conan, she holds her own with a sword, and fights topless, but with a cloak bearing it all, as though she stepped right from the pages of Heavy Metal. Come to find out, the actress as sadly murdered by Phil Spector in 2003 at age 40. This is the first of four in the series. I understand part 2 is the best regarded. This was a solid 8/10 for stupid sword and sorcery entertainment. I laughed.

Maybe. But this (absolutely awesome) photo from Joe Sikoryak via Lukas Kendall’s blog tells a different story from the same time. This is an early Trek convention photo from 1974. The thing that struck me, beyond how amazing these costumes are, before anyone called it “cosplay” (God, I despise that term), is that most of them are female. And fairly attractive by conventional standards by the looks of it too. I guess they’re still what people would call Nerds, but if I were the right age in ‘74, this is exactly where you’d find me trying to meet the Rand to my Kirk.

“Comfortable” Yeah, let’s go with that.
