Alexander would burn cities to the ground if they didn't surrender.
Sound familiar?
But, if they " bent the knee" he was relatively benign.
 
Napoleon was seen as a liberator and champion of human rights in his initial years of rule. He disbanded the Italian Ghettos, where Jews were forced to live.
Sound familiar?
Both despots, ALL despots , share one universal trait; they do not tolerate any dissent or opposition.

Amoeba Records is having a Gofundme drive.😰
'Thank you', Generalissimo Newsome.😠😡

I loved it because my childhood hero was finally treated like one.

Apparently I am a minority here. I think the score showcases a good example of writing brilliant music for a film.

I ordered my CD using an amazon reseller. It should be a regular CD **knock on wood**

I collect many things Godzilla related. And every Godzilla score. It's just that important to me.

How can anyone think that a person who believes it is her " birthright to rule the 7 kingdoms"
is a benevolent character?
She was always in contrast to Jon which made the ending even more tragic

Right#
Fans wanted a " happy ending" where two unelected monarchs rule over their kingdom - after taking it by  force , and massacring thousands of innocent civilians.
This isn't a fairy tale for children

Are people still complaining about Daenerys? I thought it was as well-handled as it possibly could’ve been, and the best part about the last season.
 
If they’d laid any more breadcrumbs about her ultimate fate it would’ve been labelled too obvious and predictable.
 
I genuinely think a lot of people were just upset they’d been rooting for a self-aggrandising genocidal maniac for the majority of the show. Which was the entire point.

In the books, the Daenerys story could very well be (or could have been) a "the signs were all there and have been building up, everyone just jumped on the wrong boat that already sank once" deal, but as it is in the series, it was more of a "no matter how much you try to be a good person/ruler and be better than your forebearers... you'll just... snap one day and go evil kookoo because your daddy was mad and evil too." as I saw it.

I don't know answers.
Who does?
 
Superman always acted out of noble motives. Whatever he may be perceived to be, one thing he is not, is crazy. Yes, he was responsible for incurring a lot of damage, in both MAN OF STEEL, and SUPERMAN II, but he did to try to protect people from something far worse.
Daenerys, on the other hand began to believe in her own invulnerability, and that was the beginning of her downfall. Even when she got taken down a few pegs, and ended up among the widows, she still believed in herself, and I admired that, but she was never going to let it rest, there.
Her pride and overreaching ambition got the better of her. She's the quintessential example of good people doing bad things, for what they believe are good reasons.
 
 
I don't think so, Mike. The seeds were sown right back in S1E1, when her brother suggested that he'd use her body to get back the Seven Kingdoms. Daenerys then stood back and let Khal Drogo murder her brother, when she realised that he was no longer any use to him. She was never a woman without ambition.
Whatever Cersei was up to in King's Landing, had it's mirror image, in Daernys. 

Who is the professional film music critic; me or you?😁
TSS is one of the most overrated films of all time.
Check out ESCAPE FROM ALCATRAZ to see how it's done( you can read my article on the film in CINEMA RETRO)!

Kevin Conroy is the best Batman since the 1990s.

That's too much, Bruce, even from you.

Kevin Conroy! 

BATMAN RETURNS, is the best Batman film, by a country mile, but, for me, and because of where and when I saw it, BATMAN will always be the most significant Batman film.

You can't have a " great " score if more than 9ne composer works on it!😉

I hate live recordings with a noisy audience.
The recent Hans Zimmer collection only had applause on a few tracks.
The wonderful c9ncert recording of GOJIRA was also sans spectators.
Thankfully!!!!!!!!

Does anybody else get a Danny Elfman vibe from " Witches Dance"?

That's a great OST.

I hope the business remains afloat

By and large, i still feel very satisfied that i have this box since ten years (and for a great price, too) and never would exchange that for a 10+ yer wait just to have a few minor grievances fixed.

...except for the full version of DESERT CHASE.

Unpouplar Opinion: the Concord Indy box set was a good release that just had some problems, nothing crippling.
