Jerry Goldsmith - City Hall (2023 Varese Deluxe Edition)
Marian Schedenig replied to Faleel's topic in General Discussion
Careful with that album, it may be disintegrating, along with Presumed Innocent. I checked by discs, the Williams looks fine, but the Goldsmith has a notable spot (hard to see, only visible if I shine a torch on it). I've got both of them FLACed anyway. -

The "(Fill in the Blank) Has Died" Thread
Marian Schedenig replied to John's topic in General Discussion
That bit of trivia is mis-quoted, mis-researched, and mis-calculated all over the internet. I've everything from "Titanic won an Oscar and the Lord of the Rings films won a total of 11 Oscars" to "throughout his career, Hill won a total of 11 Oscars". Still, in the spirit of your original comment, having acted in both of the only 11 Oscar winning films of our lifetime is a nice entry in any portfolio. -

Hill was the only actor (so far) to star in two films that received 11 Oscars. -

Plenty I suppose. It's their standard source of income (along with ticket sales and plenty of official grants, I'm sure), and that pays for the house, the organisation, and the choir, among other things. I've been a member for the previous two Williams concerts. Wouldn't have been necessary the first time (because those two concerts took a long time to sell out), but the initial tickets for Vienna II were gone within a few hours. More opened up later, but if you want to make sure you get a good seat, you should probably pay the fee and have two separate browsers open when tickets go on sale. I'll probably queue at the ticket office. First time I was there hours before, and it wasn't until 7 some more people showed up. Second time I got there around 7 and found a few people already queueing.

This looks fascinating. And I wish I hadn't watched it.

Sad. I haven't seen Hill in much (though I want to). First in TTT (and the ROTK), where he managed to give Theoden as much depth as was possible in the relatively short time he gets as a character. I've later seen him in Titanic (a couple of striking moments, but otherwise underused) and The Ghost and the Darkness (I only remember that he was in it, and good). And apparently he was in I, Claudius and Valkyrie, though I don't recall him there. -

The "(Fill in the Blank) Has Died" Thread

I don't mean I was expecting to see them lead the six o'clock news or anything like that, but they're both significant enough figures that I would expect to have seen reports of their deaths and obituaries in online news websites. More recently, those are the kinds of reports I would have been first alerted to by Twitter (at least before Musk came along and fixed it). I read about Andrew Davis the other week (but was abroad, so didn't come here to comment about it). I think it was even in the local news. Davis made what I think was at least at the time a widely observed and highly regarded performance of RVW's Tallis Fantasia in its original setup - three string ensembles positioned apart at Gloucester Cathedral: His BBC Symphony cycle of the RVW symphonies is I believe regarded as not the best, but a very solid package at a good price. And it also includes a very fine recording of the Tallis Fantasia. -
