    Yes. You would not know it from jurassic park, but dern can be dead sexy. She was dead sexy in JURASSIC PARK, too.
  2. Mr. Brown
    But I see his point, as far as the theater goes.

    VERTIGO DCP, but still amazing. Picture quality was excellent. So was the sound. Seems like they cleaned up some of the damaged bits of the score? I've seen this both on film and digitally projected. The digital projection was the superior viewing experience. However, when ever I see a film in DCP, I always think back to what Tarantino said:

    J.J. Abrams thought it was coo7.

    Yeah. I think I liked the original when I saw it in high school. Haven't watched it since, and have no real interest in the sequel. Plus, adding A DAME TO DIE FOR to the title was a bad decision. Sounds tacky. Fitting, I guess. They should have just named the film A DAME TO DIE FOR, rather than SIN CITY 2: A DAME TO DIE FOR.

    I'd say he's much closer to Charles Bronson than Steven Seagal. Yeah, I'd lean more towards Bronson, too. Neeson doesn't act lobotomized like Seagal.

    Is Pharrel Williams related to John?

    I don't think the animation segment was made to exclude or push away religious viewers. It wasn't a direct attack on religion. It laid out facts and historical events, with the moral being that viewers should learn to think for themselves and be more open-minded. That's how they portrayed Bruno, too. I think that's all that Tyson and the producers can ask for, and perhaps that's the essence of COSMOS. I liked the part of the ending, too, where Tyson said his encounter with Sagan didn't just confirm that he wanted to be a scientist, but also showed him what type of person he wanted to be like. The context being that Sagan bothered to take the time of out his schedule to meet up with some kid from Harlem and to make sure that he had a safe ride home. That said a lot about Sagan, as a person. I bet you'd be hard-pressed to find any celebrity in the film industry, for example, who would take the time to do that.

    I'm hoping for DRACULA. Heard him play parts of it live in 2009. Great score, in my opinion. What other Williams scores haven't been released? Or, at least, released properly? THE REIVERS? Haven't heard much of that score.

    I like the new Studio Canal logo. I think Desplat did the music. Fit well in front of TINKER TAILOR SOLDIER SPY, too, as it sounds similar to some of the music in that film: Then this, from New Line, which just sounds nice to me:
  12. Mr. Brown
    I feel the same way. I've never really been interested in much of Silvestri's work, but the music for COSMOS was great. Full of emotion and excitement.
  13. Mr. Brown
    Just finished the first episode. Terrific stuff. I liked how the show was updated for 2014, while still paying great tribute to Sagan and the original series. Entertaining and educational for people of any age. They did a nice job with this one. Looking forward to more. A sacrifice, but well worth it, as you pointed out. On a mainstream network, it'll be seen in more homes, I hope. I'm hoping teenagers sit themselves in front of the TV for this one, rather than for episodes of GLEE or THE WALKING DEAD.

    For any New Yorkers here: Film Society at Lincoln Center is playing a restored 35mm print of LAST YEAR AT MARIENBAD, starting today and going through the 13th.

    It just didn't "click" with me. Do you get what I mean by "click"? When you listen to film music and it feels right or it doesn't. It's hard to explain. I can see why he added those vocals, a nearly tribal sound in the score. Maybe to suggest something in relation to being human or being on Earth. Something to hint at the human race and its history, which was absent from 99.9% of the film. His music for space was nearly nothingness, but his music for Earth was full of life. Overall, GRAVITY was a film that isolated the viewer and took the viewer away from the world they live in. By the end of GRAVITY, those vocals were nearly reassuring... but I don't think they were appropriate. I don't even think this score needed to be in the film, anyway. I won't say that Price and the GRAVITY team didn't put some thought into the music. I'm sure it was crafted in a very clever way. But, at the end of the day, I just felt it didn't belong there. I felt it wasn't very interesting to listen to. I would have rather heard the deafening silence of space and the sound of nature on Earth.

    Not a very good score. Especially during that final scene.
  17. Mr. Brown
    Vilmos Zsigmond should shoot a Bond flick. Get him away from "The Mindy Project" for a while.
  18. Mr. Brown
    The music during the final scene of CLOSE ENCOUNTERS OF THE THIRD KIND ("The Visitors/Bye/End Credits" from the OST). Gorgeous piece of music.
  19. Mr. Brown
    No hate for The Lost World? That film had some pretty serious issues, too. Karol Pete Postlethwaite and John Williams's music couldn't even save that flick. Awful, awful, awful film. Compared to that, JP3 is excellent.
  20. Mr. Brown
    I was hoping they'd just reboot the series. I don't know if it could be any worse than JURASSIC PARK 3.
  21. Mr. Brown
    I don't know if it's "a masterpiece", but I think it's pretty good. I thought Deakins' photography was excellent and helped to set the mood of the film more than the characters or the plot. I look forward to seeing the TV show. I like Martin Freeman.
  22. Mr. Brown
    Yeah. I don't know why I wrote Richard Harrison. Rex Harrison's wife was mentioned, though.
  23. Mr. Brown
    Shame that Deakins isn't involved. That doesn't make or break the film's potential, though. Especially not at this point. I'm still hoping Newman comes back to score. I'm confident that Mendes and Logan will come up with another decent, Bondian story.
  24. Mr. Brown
    Good point, Koray. These days, I rip the music as lossless files to my PC and put the CD on a shelf. Occasionally I'll go back to the booklets. Reissues like this are nice for the people who missed the opportunities to buy the music in the past.

    Clouzot's "Le Corbeau" -- I'm wishing Criterion would release this on Blu-Ray, although they did a fine job with the DVD. Clouzot had some balls, considering when and where he made the film. Resnais's "Last Year at Marienbad" -- My second viewing of the film and I still don't know what to make of it. Powell's "Peeping Tom" -- Pure creepiness mixed with the type of sets and cinematography you'd expect from a Powell production. Comparable to Hitchcock's PSYCHO, in quality and content.
