This is a nice clip to show to someone who thinks they don't know Mancini: And the new Williams & Co Supergroup Peter Gunn has a new trailer:

I'd like that, not least because I'm already doing playlists with trailers and commercials and automated light dimming when I have movie nights with friends, and I'd like to integrated the actual feature film with that. Only I've still got several issues with that: I haven't found a player that can play ripped Blu-rays smoothly and with full audio pass through and proper remote controls (on Linux; but when it comes to these things, any video players I've seen on other systems usually fare worse) (I can play downloaded multichannel videos just fine, but I'd really like to preserve the original compressed streams from the discs) I'd want full rips without re-compression, and ripping all my Blu-rays (about 800 now) would take dozens of terabytes of space, and then I'd have to double that to have a backup in case something goes wrong (because see next point) Ripping Blu-rays is incredibly slow - seems to take at least an hour for an average film. The limit seems to be the drive speed, and pretty much all drives seem to be equally slow (2x seems to be the usual speed for video Blus, the "video" suggesting that there's some sort of deliberate hardware throttling involved to inconvenience ripping) And when I finally transition to 4K, these problems will only get worse. -

Tried wiping it with a microfiber cloth, and with water. The problem persists on all players and at the more or less same location of the disc. No visible marks on the surface. It has to be some degradation inherent to the material or pressing. -
Sold.

Every time. Always broken at the same spot on every player. Two Sonys, one Samsung, and an external computer drive. From what I remember, I've had it happen with The Departed, Wall-E, Cloud Atlas, CE3K, and now OuaTitW. Some basically break down altogether at some point in the film, other go all stuttery and garbled for a while (so that the player software hangs and only reacts to button presses every 10 seconds or less). With CE3K I had to skip several minutes, OuaTitW has at least half an hour that's unplayable. There was another one I can't remember now. And who knows how many that I haven't discovered yet… -

I'm getting increasingly unhappy about spending money on Blu-rays since more and more of mine have been dying. The latest was Once Upon a Time in the West. Always in the middle of the film - must be either related to the layer change or to the radial distance of the affected part. I keep spending tons of money on films only to randomly have them fail in the middle of watching them (sometimes with friends). -

But at least you can tell that it's not the original title (because it's not in English). -

Yup. That's German titles for you. Sometimes nowadays the German titles are even in English, but still different from the original English ones. For example, Taken is called 96 Hours in German. Took me years to figure out they're the same film (I've never seen it). -

Marian Schedenig replied to Quintus's topic in General Discussion
Wikipedia lists that under "The following songs were recorded during the same set of concerts and later released as B-sides". The album is compiled from two (!) concert tours, so while the album is pretty much maxed out for a single CD release at 76 minutes, there's bound to be lots of stuff from the tours that wasn't included, even if it was released separately. As Fart mentioned, your best bet for getting more of those is probably one of the full live concert releases - they have tons of those, so many that it's become hard to keep track, but they're usually (? or at least often, I've lost track) worth it. My father had the Four Flicks DVD box that contains four separate full concerts, all from the same tour, and while there's naturally lots of overlap between them content-wise, they're still worth having. As for Flashpoint, the list of separately released tracks also includes Gimme Shelter, presumably with Lisa Fischer (she's listed on the album for backing vocals), and those are usually outstanding. Several full concert releases include the song with Fischer (and I'm lucky to have caught one myself in Vienna back in 2014), but I'm not sure now if there's one on CD? -

The Flashpoint album has two extra non-live tracks, but aside from that, as Fart explained, it's compiled from live performances of existing songs. Of course, with the Stones, you could always add multiple discs of extra tracks from live concerts or discarded studio material, but as far as I'm aware, the album as presented is in no way "incomplete". -

No, the suite takes about 20-30 minutes, depending on the version and performance. Having not listened to it in so long: What's wrong with it, specifically?
