  1. Interesting choice. Á propos for this very board, i would think.
  2. Another good question is how they choose their potential victims. Someone who illegally downloaded 'How to steal a Million'? They had to know if it's illegal material in the first place. If the files aren't named 'Whitney Houston's Greatest Hits', it becomes all rather muddy...
  3. What would these 'cents' look like in CoolEdit's pitch tool? I only can lower or speed up the 'pitch ratio' there...
  4. Hook, TLW, and 1941 beg to differ. Watch 'Leviathan', 'Warlock', 'Rent-A-Cop' or 'Inchon' and say this again with a straight face.
  5. I personally think it is an excellent film, but I appreciate why you would think that. I've only seen it the once and I think I'd struggle to sit through it again. I don't think it has the vital rewatchabitity factor. It was a great experience as a new film on the big screen, but I haven't purchased the dvd and probably won't do either. I feel the exact same way about Batman Begins. Well, it's a movie about a man in a bat costume. There ought to be more interesting things on your filmic agenda or you'd have a credibility problem. That's if you're over 16 years old...
  6. Considering the competition, i throw 'Defiance' into the ring...the 48-minute Sony Classical CD, not Paramount's 128k mp3's....
  7. 'Cassandra Crossing' is no score that will please the occasional Goldsmith buyer. It's very tense and has one of those great 70s minor chord 'love themes'...which aren't in the highest regard, nowadays.
  8. The circle closes and the Horner bashing starts. Hallelujah! At least Bruce Broughton did up-front appraisal of Horner's scores...he liked 'New World' and 'Braveheart'. And this is on record ('Soundtrack' magazine, i. e.). Maybe some of you could name all those giants of musical erudition who seemingly despise Horner?
  9. What for? To get a pre-fabricated reply by 'Brandi' or 'Muffy' from customer services? The best chance to address this is via the forthcoming Bozereau interview and i suspect he won't be helpful, either. Because if they would admit that they screwed it up, they had to replace the widely sold set. You judge yourself how likely that is...
  10. Since the parties involved only can say for sure there are certain differences in speed, but not if the Concord box has it wrong or the old mixes, i see no point in being 'enraged' prematurely.
  11. The point of the music isn't to satisfy the peculiar desires of individual film music fans, but to serve the film. Since nearly every review of the movie seems to have lauding words for the score, it did that just right.
  12. Now i finally know what this sonar ping is all about. Great find. The precision and attention to detail is staggering.
  13. The last thing 'Total Recall's music is about is this slight main title.
  14. Complicated or not, he really could lose some of his redundant action music licks...
  15. Or about being 'entertained'. And some people are entertained by everything. Which is the reason films like 'Indy VI' or 'Mummy III' are like they are...
  16. There are insurmountable quantities of really great music of all kinds waiting out there...and people haven't got anything better to do than cower before their stereo and listening to background percussion?
  17. If he really feels like defending such junk, there's no way a law-of-physics argument can convince him otherwise. With so many movies with irritating computer effects, there really should be an CG-Rating: 'Don't see this film when you are easily offended by bad computer-generated scenes which defy any common sense'. This rating was initiated by 'Van Helsing'.
  18. Option 2, without the shadow of a doubt. Although i'm one of the individuals who couldn't care less about percussion cues, uninteresting snooping-around music or 30 second cues - it was not all gold Williams produced here...minor sound anomalies are my biggest gripe. And seemingly some intro's and endings seem a bit abrupt, as if they've used CoolEdit's fade-in option. But if that has something to do with the condition of the mastertapes we don't know for sure.
  19. It's exactly the same as with the 'Map' cue i mentioned...on my AKG's i clearly hear a kind of volume drop in both instances, for the lack of a better word, as if another source was mixed in, which hasn't quite the same stereo field as the one before. It's only noticeable on headphones, though.
  20. Can't hear that .I have good headphones The trumpet wanders from the left side to the middle....at 30 seconds, everything seems to be ok again...
  21. Why on earth is there a slight sound dropout at second 23 in 'Map - Out of Fuel'? If you use headphones, it's very obvious...
