    FC4L got a reaction from Tiburon in THE LAST JEDI - Score as heard in the movie thread - SPOILERS ALLOWED   
    Sucks you went and saw a different movie than I did.
     
    The ENTIRE chase through the salt mine to "Here They Come" had me grinning ear to ear. AMAZING and fit PERFECTLY.
     
    So much hate coming from those who wanted BIG answers to their own made-up questions is hilarious. The film was damn good and threw every expectation you had for it out the window. That is why you hated it and no amount of whining about it will convince you that your own failings are what skewed you experience watching this film.
     
    Rey's parents are exactly who she tells EVERYONE they are in The Force Awakens - NO ONE. It's right there 2 years ago.
     
    Luke ignored Yoda and Obi-Wan and still acts like he always had. He failed Ben so he ran away. If you don't like his reasons for doing so then blame J.J. for creating the scenario to begin with.
     
    Sometimes the best laid plans fail, you know, like Han trying to hide out on *Gasp* Bespin. Finn and Rose' plan came pretty darn close to success. 
     
    Phasma - if dead- goes out like a warrior unlike that punk bitch Boba Fett.
     
    Amazing movie. Going again tomorrow and likely will see it more in theater than I did The Force Awakens. 
     
    I nearly fell out of my (crappy new D-Box seat, designed in Quebec) seat when that happened. It was as bad as losing my dog. Just ouch. Beautiful, yes, but heartbreaking as well. But wow, what a way to go fooling everyone and giving Kylo a taste of what he'll never become.

    Seems like 7/8 of threads right now are all Last Jedi. And while I eagerly await it's arrival on my doorstep, The Post was just nominated for the Best Original Score - Motion Picture Golden Globe. So it must be pretty good.

    FC4L got a reaction from ocelot in The day Hans Zimmer turned John Williams into ‘Christmas sounds’…   
    All new versions of James Bond movies play with the orchestration of the main theme to some extent. What's your point here?
     
    And further, Man of Steel (Like Batman Begins) is not a continuation of the Christopher Reeves Superman franchise - unlike Superman Returns was. Why not create a new Superman theme?
     
    Hilariously, the use of both the old Batman 1989 and Superman 1978 themes are a direct result of DC making BAD superhero movies and trying to win back movie goers in an ever lasting failed attempt to compete with what Marvel built up properly over numerous films through multiple years. DC wanted Batman V Superman to be what The Avengers was and crammed so much garbage and bloat into it just to say "Haha, we did it!" only to fall flat on their face. Suicide Squad was a disaster. Wonder Woman was average but that's because it had little to do with Zack Snyder and Gal Godot was the only real good thing about BVS (even if horribly jammed into it). Justice League making less than $100 million on opening weekend, regardless of what old themes are recycled in the score, is a clear indication that Warner Bros. DC movie people don't know what they are doing. Meanwhile Thor: Ragnarock is delighting audiences and making money. Thor 3. When Thor 1 was a small film that got some mixed reviews. Marvel took their time to build their universe and work out kinks. DC just wants Avengers type returns from movie 2 and continue to make, at best, average films. So now going back in time to re-use themes that are iconic and classic just for the sake of drawing people into their mess makes them look even more desperate.
     
    For the record, I like the Hans Zimmer Man of Steel theme. I like his work on the Nolan Batman films even if they are grossly overrated in and of themselves. I like quite a bit of Hans Zimmer's work and Danny Elfman to, for that matter. Each have their place in the world of film music. It is quite possible to like BOTH Elvis and The Beatles, afteral. I just continue to laugh at DC for screwing up their superhero universe so badly while I eagerly anticipate Black Panther (who???) next year!

    FC4L got a reaction from Will in CPO Sci-Fi Spectacular   
    Well I'd not call it really Sci-Fi but a lot more Space Inspired as the selections were much more classical than what you or I might consider Sci-Fi but the concert was fantastic. Guest conductor John Morris Russell was energetic and entertaining. Clearly a man who does what he loves and loves what he does.
     
    My first live performance of anything from CE3K and the first 5 notes gave me chills. By the end I had tears. Just closed my eyes and I could see the mother ship ascending back to the universe. 
     
     
    The Imperial March played with passion and almost a bit of anger. You felt every beat of it.
     
    Anakin's Theme - another first live performance for me - with such warmth from the cellos I'd never experienced from the recordings. 
     
    Capped off with The Jedi Steps and Finale. Still amazing how beautiful this selection and then Rey's theme are given it's the 8th Star Wars score from 1 magician. 
     
     
    The other Sci-Fi selections were Also Spoke Zarathustra to open the program. Again chills. Then before the intermission the 3 main Star Trek themes - TV, Motion Picture and Reboot.. 
     
    While I didn't get as much Sci-Fi as I might have thought or wanted I did, after choosing this concert over a WWE Raw House Show, get both Rick Flair and Jerry "The King" Lawler entrance music live!
     
    *Note* Videos are not from tonight's performance, but the same conductor.

    FC4L got a reaction from Taikomochi in Star Wars Battlefront 2: Will there be unreleased music?   
    Lego games are actually good. They are well thought out and full of things to keep you playing. I finished Force Awakens 100%. Though if you don't find the Lego asthetic interesting then they won't be for you. But compared to Battlefront the Lego games are Ferrari's racing shiny pintos with lots of flashy chrome.
     
    Heck the Lego game even knows the difference between the correct Falcon turbolaser sounds and the dumb noise JJ changed it to for absolutely zero good reasons. 
     
    Also, the Lego games tend to have some JW easter eggs in them as well. Though he's yet to be made a playable minifig as far as I'm aware.

    Looks like the same dull boring gameplay that made the last game garbage. Nice visuals but running around a tiny map with no cover just trying to blast everything gets old EXTREMELY quick. Too bad Star Wars games have turned into this sort of boring shoot-die-respawn-repeat-repeat-repeat-repeat grossly over expensive nonsense. Wkae me when a game with actual story and substance arrives. I'm going to guess that will be Lego The Last Jedi.

    What I meant was the first (well 3rd) Battlefront game was a boring, representative, run around a small map trying to get more kills than you get killed. Wave after wave of respawns. No actual tactic. No true skill. Just run and strafe and shoot before you get shot. I was bored playing the first level befire I was even finished playing the first level. But oh look, you get to be grossly over powered "heroes" and pay more money for a few more levels because they didn't feel like selling you a complete game in the first place.
     
    This new game looks like just more of the same. Class levl characters because you know in war you can only ever handle 1 type of weapon. Going back to the prequels which everyone seems excited about because the game is new but just yesterday were reminding the world how much they hate George Lucas and the crap he came up with after losing his mind in making those films.
     
    That story mode will almost certainly be just cut scenes between levels to give players some sense of satisfaction for completing missions rather than just ending a level and going back to the select screen. The gameplay won't change other than this new, suddenly the entire galaxy is full of strong powerful females, character will have her own special "hero" traits.
     
    I didn't buy the last game until this past Boxing Day for $25. I feel ripped off. Played maybe an hour and doubt I'll ever play it again. Battlefield/front games are such nonsense they aren't worth my time at all.
     
    And no idea why developers who can't be bothered coming up with an actual good game system would somehow be given access to music never before released and then find a creative way to use it. That's too much work with zero financial pay-off that is all these games are about now. I pre-ordered Red Dead 2 and can't wait for a fully fleshed out amazing game.

    Found seating information for the main floor at least.
     
    Rows are A to W, front to back.
     
    Seats in the center are 1xx starting stage right to stage left. So row A 101 is the front row isle seat at stage right. and row A 116 is the front row isle at stage left. There are 16 seats in the middle from row A to T and U, V, and W narrow. Seats row A 8/9 would be front row dead center.
     
    The stage left side has EVEN numbered seats starting a 2 on the center isle and climbing to the wall. The stage right side has ODD numbered seats starting at 1 on the center isle and climbing to the wall. The sides go out 11 seats then clinb and fall depending on the row as you go up the rows to V. There are no seats in row W on the sides.

    Now on the re-sale sites there are tickets listed for row A but no specific seat numbers. This is puzzling to me so I think I will contact the CSC to find out why this may be. 
    Also, a general idea of the different pricing for seats based on location. Note! This is NOT the actual pricing for the JW concerts but gives an idea of which ares are more "desirable" and therefore will cost more.
