This quote from The Guardian's review summed it up for me:
 
"One of the very first scenes shows characters slaving away in the desert, earning a pittance by scraping scraps of meat from a giant, long-dead carcass. This is either a complete coincidence, or someone at Disney+ is a little more self-aware than they should be."

This continuing trend of 'trailer-ising' classic movie themes is really fucking lame.

This is fascinating and something I hadn't really considered before.
 
 

Musical references to the prequels were few and far between in the Disney films so it's great that Holt is finally able to pay tribute to... Hans Zimmer.  

You... what?

I like Warwick Davis as Willow, he has a charm that overpowers any limits to his acting abilities.  That said, he was an awful quiz show host.

Had a weird urge to revisit this... and it's one that I seem to appreciate more with each, admittedly sporadic, listen.
 
The battle waltz stuff and the Honor theme are all great but I do love the darker, melodramatic material for Commodus' antics. Am I Not Merciful? is a fantastic cue.

I've never seen Willow and don't know anything about it other than Horner's music. But this trailer seemed like it was on the good side of modern entertainment. And Warwick Davis is so damn likeable.

Better Call Saul Season 6 (Part 1)
 
The best show on television keeps getting better.  These 7 episodes are full of intense moments, top notch acting, incredible cinematography, and unpredictable and satisfying writing.
 
Can't wait for Part 2 in July!  What a ride!

RIP Ray Liotta

Rightfully will be remembered first for Goodfellas, but I'll always think first of the family movies he did in the 90s that I liked a lot as a kid: Operation Dumbo Drop and Corrina, Corrina.  Footnotes of his career for most people, I know.

I listened to Snow Falling on Cedars the other day and I thought it was a bit too depressing. However, the "Snow Angels/Can I Hold you Now?" combo is one of my favorite emotional moments by JNH, alongside "Malcolm is Dead" and "Central Park".

Best thing he's done, IMO.
 
"Stick to what you're good at" springs to mind.
 
 

 
Not as creatively expansive as the sequels, or Powell's concurrent animation efforts, proved to be but I always find myself coming back to this for its smaller scale charm.
 
The almost 7-minute finale of The Water Recedes / Mammoths / With The Herd / Into The Sunset is what I mostly return to. Always coaxes a smile... and very often a tear.
 
This is also the first film that I took my little sister to see at the cinema so the music holds a very special place for both of us. She is not a film score maniac like me but she still cries when she hears it. 

Is that cut at 0:14 in the second clip for real?
