    Disco Stu got a reaction from Suro-Zet in Joe Kraemer: “I haven’t scored a single mainstream Hollywood movie since ‘Rogue Nation’”   
    I agree, I largely found Gold’s scores annoying.  He certainly had his standout episodes (like “Heaven Sent”) but mostly he was too overbearing

    This evening I’m watching some “silver age” Treehouses of Horror and season 12’s is one of my favorites. My personal favorite joke: when ghost Homer is given 24 hours to do one good deed to win entry to Heaven, Marge has a list of house chores he could do and Homer responds, “Whoa whoa, I’m just trying to get in, I’m not running for Jesus”

    I'm getting deja vu because I think we've had this conversation before, but Andre Previn recorded a very similar album 20 years earlier with the great opera singer Leontyne Price that was much more successful.  She changed her style to suit the material better.

    If they’d done something big you’d all post some cynical stuff about Disney squeezing more money out of the franchise.

    Yes TolkienSS is willfully twisting himself to misinterpret everything Bear says in as negative a light as possible

    Exploring Haydn's music, you find so many wonderful pieces in less famous little corners of his massive output.
     
    This piano trio in F is a pure delight.  I love his especially athletic allegros.

    I know of two times, both conducted by David Newman last August: at Tanglewood Film Night and at the Hollywood Bowl.

    Yes.  And Fargo embodies both the irony and the tragedy of the story.  And Hudsucker is wonderful, the whole score not just the Khatchaturian adapted cues.  And True Grit!
     
    I just love the way Burwell reflects and comments upon the unique tones of the Coens films.  A great underrated director-composer collaboration!

    Very late to the game here but I started playing Jedi: Fallen Order over the weekend (on Series X) and am quite enjoying it.  No one told me it was a platformer!

    I like this arrangement of the Chopin "Winter Wind" etude for piano and orchestra.  It's a light touch, with the orchestra mostly there to add color and emphasis to the piano.  It works!

    If it was a joke, I like the specificity of picking February 3rd.  Does it have a significance to Chewy, like is it his birthday?  Or was it chosen at random to sell the joke?
