Daddy-O in the theater, age 26.

Same here... On the cinema it was probably E.T. But before that I think I saw Superman on the television and maybe Jaws and 1941 too.

I think Joe first heard Williams in Lost in Space.

Star Wars minus Williams

I had an absolute pleasure of sitting down for a chat with Abel for our modest but ever expanding website Films On Wax (our "late" Charlie Brigden runs this operation). We talked for the most part about Penny Dreadful and the scoring process. It was my first, so be gentle! Karol

When's the part where the camera slowly zooms in on Alex's mouth - Maximilian Schell style - as the transition to spoken English takes place and everybody's universal translators kicks in? It's a cool moment.

"I'll...be...right...here."

Jaws 1975 in a Cinema and I was only seven!

I've enforced a blanket ban on trailers for two years strong now. It really works! Without a doubt I'll be the only one here who doesn't watch the Star Wars trailers.

You just posted that my favourite ever film sucks... Bad form !!!!!! Dated FX ? It was made mid 80s, it has that vintage 80s FX look. I love it. The Alien queen is my favourite animatronic puppet. A genius Stan Winston creation. The marines are cardboard cutouts ? Most definitely not. Hudson is 200 % awesomeness... so is Vasquez... Hicks gets his moments to shine. Bishop knows when to make his mark. Even Gorman, I have to feel for at some point. The Ripley-Newt dynamic is excellent. Real character development here. Horner's score rushed ? This is the second best rush-job I've ever heard (Lost in Space is my fave). It's the score that turned me into the score-nut I'm today. Horner blew me away with his action motifs and super exciting finale and that score still rocks my world today. The film was awesome in the day... it has only improved with age, especially when I compare it to all these soulless action extravaganza's I've watched in recent years. Cameron never ignored the character side in his films and that's why his films are (remain) great. Aliens gets 8 out of 5.

For comparison's sake, here's the pic from Matt C's link:

Well... here's to us.

Hardly the most ridiculous thing to have happened in the show. Nothing worth freaking out over.

Just downloaded it and had a quick listen. Sounds better than the last "effort". Hoping for a big gig in Dublin next summer.
