Monstrous Movie Music

23 April 2011 - 05:16 AM

I see that Monstrous Movie Music is offering scores from some classic SciFi movies like It! The Terror From Beyond Space, This Island Earth and more.  I see that you can pay via PayPal, but they also suggest that you can email your credit card info to them. Even splitting info into separate emails that sounds crazy to me.

Has anybody ordered from them?

I had never seen the video.  They were certainly playing the correct theme as Persis Khambatta gets her hair cut off.

The Star Wars Saga in 3D Returns to Theaters Starting 2012!

Though we'd heard rumors about the Star Wars saga making a return to theaters in 3D for awhile, back in January the man behind the curtain, George Lucas said the quality and success of Avatar's 3D presentation was "a new impetus to make that happen." Nine months later and USA Today has officially announced that Lucasfilm will reprocess the entire film series in 3D and release them in theaters starting in 2012. The Phantom Menace will be the first film to hit theaters and Heat Vision says that will happen in the early months of 2012 with the remaining films released every following year in chronological order.

If Lucas is employing the same technology and time dedication that James Cameron is utilizing for the 3D conversion of Titanic (also being released in 2012), then I don't have a problem with the three dimensional upgrade (and I'm going to put the kibosh on anyone saying "I have a bad feeling about this."). Lucasfilm spokeswoman Lynne Hale says, "The process is really extensive, and we want to make sure each of the films gets the attention it needs, so we're not ready to talk about the release patterns of the other films."

Though Heat Vision has already pointed out a timeframe for the 3D release, USA Today says the season of release is undetermined simply because they don't want to be forced to rush the 3D conversion to meet a deadline. As far as the release in early 2012, it would be nice to have something to look forward to in the dead box office months from January to mid-April. After all, the special edition re-releases of the original trilogy in 1997 were released chronologically in January, February and March of that year.

Since the 3D conversion is in the hands of John Knoll, visual effects supervisor for Industrial Light & Magic and co-creator of Adobe Photoshop, I'm not even close to being worried about the conversion. My issue personally stems from the fact that they're starting with The Phantom Menace. I think audiences should experience the Star Wars saga exactly as it unfolded through history starting with Star Wars (no, I won't call it A New Hope) and finishing with Revenge of the Sith. Oh well. Will you give more of your money to George Lucas for Star Wars in 3D?

Seven Years in Tibet was played during the pairs skating last night.  Anybody hear any other JW during the winter games?

Leith Stevens

I am a big fan of the old 50s Sci Fi flicks and really like some of the music the Leith Stevens composed for movies like Destination Moon, War of the Worlds, When Worlds Collide and others.  Are there any releases of these on CD?
