  1. That was my first ever Blu purchase, and it does indeed look stunning.
  2. no! Let me explain something. The correct answer to an "either/or" question is not "no." Wojo: "Should I do option 1 or option 2?" king mark: "no!" Wojo: Isn't it obvious? Do neither.
  3. Reminds me of a couple of my Amazon orders this year that got stuck in a "black hole" in Dallas and got scanned in 2 or 3 times before finally getting out to me.
  4. I fully intend to watch all of Lost at some point, for Giacchino's scores if nothing else.
  5. Imposserous! Preposterous! Inconceivable! I'll be picking up the FSM release, and I'm REALLY glad to see it's set at 10,000 so I can be comfortable holding off until after Christmas. Hope Home Alone is still around then too.
  6. I love Galactica start to finish. Season 3 is probably the weakest season overall, but it picks back up nicely in S4. I've only seen the complete first season of Lost, just bits and pieces after that, usually finales. I don't think I ever mentioned that I did watch the first ep of Sherlock a month or so ago, streamed on PBS's site. Absolutely wonderful, all the praise it's getting is more than earned. I'm waiting to pick it up on Blu before watching the last 2 eps.
  7. Composers are getting to write proper themes in TV way more than film these days.
  8. Absolutely, there's a reason they're classics. Charlie Brown would be my favorite of the two. I've gotten quite fond of the recent Patrick Stewart version of A Christmas Carol. Might try to catch the whole thing this year.
  9. A Christmas Story. It was massively overplayed for many years here in the US, but it's still the best pure Christmas movie.
  10. Blume was kind enough to make that for me a while back, a freebie with an anti-PotC signature image I asked for. Just thought it was a good time to whp it out.
  11. Richard Harris was wonderful in the first movie, still the definitive Dumbledore IMO. But you can tell he's ill in CoS.
  12. I don't think I've ever sat down and watched the whole thing start to finish, but I was always strangely fascinated by this when it was making its first TV run:
  13. I never expected them to have Gandalf just disappear and reappear without explanation, as in the book. So this doesn't surprise me. Maybe they'll go ahead and film the White Council bits, if they can get Christopher Lee back. Sylvester McCoy as Radagast is confirmed there too. No Tom Baker as Beorn though. Bummer.
  14. It's not a particularly great or even good score on its own, but it is interesting as an intellectual exercise to hear some early Williams drama work as he was refining his craft.
  15. Woo hoo, top 10! That and the little green tag under my name make all the years of toil worthwhile. Thanks for taking things over Jack, and I also want to send a huge thank you to Andreas for all the hard work that he put into the board and the site, often under great financial pressure. This place would have vanished a long time ago if it wasn't for him.
  16. I just get cover art from SoundtrackCollector.com. It's usually pretty good quality.
  17. There's a theme that's in both Stargate and ID4.
  18. Family Plot, Black Sunday, Spacecamp, None But the Brave, and The Poseidon Adventure. I fully intend to get Home Alone too, once I have the money.
  19. "I see dead threads." My opinions haven't changed either. Including my criticism of Williams as an album producer.
