  1. Is he? Looking him up on IMDb, I've seen one of his films: Der Bockerer, a 1981 drama about an Austrian butcher standing up to the Nazis during their regime not such much out of principle (he's too naive for that), but more out of personal spite. We saw that in school; I remember director Franz Antel being a highly lauded Austrian film maker during my youth and up to his death in 2007 (he was born in 1913, like my grandfather, who if I remember correctly went to school with him), mostly based on this film and I guess a few he made afterwards - before that, he was mainly known as the director of countless sex comedies since the early 50s. Gerhard Heinz's filmography looks very similar (though I can't see in this endless list of any of their earlier films overlap), except that he seems to have stuck with the sex comedies even after Bockerer, when Antel had finally managed to rid himself of them. They collaborated on three sequels, the last three films of each of them (I haven't seen those). The only other filmography entry of his I recognise is two episodes of the famed weekly documentary series Universum, which has been showing on ORF (the Austrian national public TV station) every Tuesday since 1987. According to Wikipedia he's also written Schlager songs earlier in his career. None of that makes it sound like he's particularly distinguished or well known. Where do you know him from?
  2. "Fuck sympathy! I don't need your fuckin' sympathy, man, I need my fucking johnson!" - "What do you need that for, Dude?"
  3. Effects shots, certainly. Some of the real shots are surprisingly ugly, despite the split diopter bonus.
  4. Yes, I've mostly stuck to the suite myself. But partly I think that's because it's an album condensation of the full scores that's very long on its own, but at the same time presents only a fragment of the full scores. My hope is that the complete scores might present a better listening experience on their own by being both shorter and more coherent individually than the longer full season album.
  5. That would have been the cheaper option for me, actually. And without the expected customs hassle.
  6. I've always assumed it's an intentional orchestration effect. I like it.
  7. I doubt there's 7 billion "normal" people anyway, for any sufficiently exclusive definition of "normal" (which is usually the point of the classification).
  8. It was a series of commercials that all used music to great effect. This was the first (and best) one: I have Previn/Tortelier, but I should probably try out some others as well.
  9. Sorry to cause angst! I was worrying about it before you mentioned it. CDs seem to be very un-Mondo anyway. From what I understand, they're primarily about vinyl and maybe digital music, and only offer CDs on those rare occasions where they actually have exclusive physical content (rather than doing an LP version of something that already existed on CD - which I believe they do?). This is reflected in their shipping options, which confused me a lot: There's a "Vinyl Only Shipping" option and there's "DHL International Shipping", which is significantly more expensive - but "Vinyl Only" also uses DHL for international orders, and it was available and even pre-selected for my CD-only order. I checked my order from last year and that also used vinyl shipping (for only CDs), so I figured that works and chose it again this time. And I think I figured out what it actually means: Physical music for Mondo is vinyl. They sell vinyl (=music), posters, and collectibles. If you order anything other than music, you probably have to select DHL, but if you only order music, you can use the vinyl option, because whoever set up the shipping configuration believed that any and all music they sold would be on vinyl. Because the signed one was more expensive (was it?) or already sold out or you simply didn't want it?
  10. No joke, I'm already worrying about that. Given how quickly this sold out, I wonder if there's any chance of Mondo bringing it back? Apparently they have a new batch of Oppenheimers coming up, but I don't know if that's because the first one was limited and they're doing a second run, or if they simply hadn't pressed as many copies as their licence allows.
  11. "Why do I fall in love with every woman I see who shows me the least bit of attention?" "Well, technically speaking, the operation is brain damage, but it's on a par with a night of heavy drinking. Nothing you'll miss." "Sand is overrated. It's just tiny, little rocks." (Take that, Anakin) "Meet me in Montauk."
