Nice guess, but that one was alreadly solved my man! Alien Resurrection. This little one wasnt though.

I have never had a problem with Tom Cruise, I think he is a fantastic actor, I have seen every film he has ever been in, and he was always good. I like so many of his films, Cocktail, Born on the Fourth, Risky Business, Rainman. If you put any person under extreme scrutiny, such as TC has been, you will find cracks. He is just a guy after all, he can make mistakes, but they are amplified by the media. That's the price you pay for being in the spotlight of media, but he surely didn't know it before he got involved.

Ok let's clear this up; From The Study of Orchestration by Samuel Adler ANVIL (ANV.) This instrument simulates the sound of a blacksmith's anvil. It was used quite a bit in the late nineteenth century, especially by Wagner in Das Rheingold and also by numerous twentieth-century composers like Varese, Bloch and Foss. It is a large steel block struck by a metal hammer. Any like object, such as a small section of rail-road track can be substituted for it if an orchestra does not provide the manufactured anvil.

Believe me, I did not forget sexy. Oh wait thats a line from Taxi Driver.... I mean, Believe me, I did not forget the Nightmare Before Christmas, I just havent seen it. I saw that spirally thing and knew it was a Tim Burton film.

Hey Joe.

All of them, in one go? I can do most, the rest is the artists fault for being lazy, incompetent, whatever LOL Goldsmith: Star Trek:TMP, Legend, Williams: E.T, The Phantom Menace, Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone Newman: Road to Perdition Horner: Titanic Zimmer: Gladiator, Shore: LOTR Kamen: What Dreams may Come, Iron Giant Elfman: Spiderman, JNH: Unbreakable Silvestri: Back to the Future, Forrest Gump

The only legitimate, and respectable "techno" remixes of a film theme I know of are Now we are free. from Gladiator, and My Heart will go on, Titanic. Although there are plenty of film score samples used in rap, electronica etc. Never Jaws though, to my knowledge.

"Just get in the car, Butthead" "Who you calling a Butthead, Butthead?" Best BTTF. line. ever. But "Get the hell out of my car old man!" is a close 2nd.

A bit of both.

shutup Merkel, who asked for your two-cents? just kidding Ted and Alex, grow up boys. Or if you want to take it outside, lets arrange that.

You can kick and scream about it all you like Alex, doesnt change my opinion. And no, I'm not 12, but I'm inclined to think you might be, defending these films in the manner you are. They are only films, after all. Just films. They Possess as much profundity as you give them. 2001 means little to me.

Mine is . Conclusive, the film is rubbish, It is Rubbish! Kubrick would agree. The same could be said for Citizen Kane, and that was a boring load of tripe too.

Stop picking on Joe, you assholes, you scum, or you have will me to answer for.

First time around, I would have agreed. Give it another chance some day, hopefully in a great home theater set-up, and possibly under the influence of something, and you might see things differently. Worked for me. I can't remember why or what, but I do know that the film blew my mind the second time around. I hear you . But I really don't need to see this film again, I "got" it. The points and message are obvious and ham-fisted, tedious. But if I was 12, I sure would have found it fascinating, and it would mean something to me. I don't deny that many people find some resonating meaning in this film. In my view the film means nothing, and comes to a ridiculous and ultimately pretentious and invalid conclusion.

Jack, are you fond of the notion that you might be the next Williams? Sorry, that position is already filled.

2001. I wanted to like it, but really, what a snore. Give me Full Metal Jacket, The Shining or A Clockwork Orange any day.

GOMP.

One of my favorite commentaries is Se7en. David Fincher drops the F-Bomb about 300 times. Even Brad Pitt seems a bit thrown by it. I will check out ST:Generations, thanks John Crichton. As a tangent, does anyone else have commentaries they particularly liked?

Placing value on your time again Ted? tut-tut, time is all too relative. In the bigger scheme of things, it doesn't matter. I appreciate your faux-humility for what it is.

The title of this thread gives me an existential headache.

This thread is horrifying, and I ain't JW.

But you sure entertain the notion, think you are the smartest guy in the room. Sometimes being a know-it-all is justified. Not in your case though... Thinking about, and understanding, are quite different things.

No-one has hit the jackpot yet! Yep, Mr.B, you only get one shot.

I would love to hear JW commentary on Angela's Ashes ! That is a film that would reveal his perspective about life, if he did that instead of being Mr. Diplomatic.

Haha! nice Blumenkohl.
