  1. Check back on that other site you asked on
  2. "But you don't understand, Osgood! I'm a man!" "Well, nobody's perfect"
  3. "Don't look now, but there's one man too many in this room, and I think it's you."
  4. Thank you and you're absolutely right, I know if she were here that she would understand and be supportive of my wanting to go. While I still hope a performance in London is announced in the meantime, I might have to at least hope my family understand that one of these performances is something I have to attend.
  5. Hearing it made it into some adaptations is a relief, but it really needed to be in the film to at least show the audience things aren't right. It certainly could of helped with those controversies.
  6. On the one hand the last time I saw my mum she said about going away for a family holiday, to which I said I wasn't interested as my primary goal was saving to get a mortgage and that only after I'd got one would I consider going abroad for a holiday. With her passing away my family have been on two trips abroad both of which I didn't go on because of my focus on saving and this pledge I'd made to my mum the last time I met her. I still haven't got a mortgage yet and so I'm completely torn as Williams hasn't shown any interest in returning to London, that this concert is possibly the last chance I could have to see him perform because honestly how much time does he have left? And so as much as I want to see him I find myself in this incredibly difficult position and hope that before tickets go on sale next year that a performance in London is announced that I can go to instead and that I don't have to break my word.
  7. Also I'd like to address one of the films biggest controversies - the banquet scene. In the film the characters are presented with a selection of....unusual plates, now an audience that is perhaps ignorant of the cuisine of India would take this as being the norm. Snake surprise, eyeball soup and chilled monkey brains are so readily enjoyed by the guests that someone who doesn't know that Hindus are primarily vegetarian wouldn't think twice about what was happening on screen. Now this was such a big problem that the film was banned in India for some years because of it. But in the script there was a scene following the banquet that would of clued audiences in - Now I don't know if this follow up scene was filmed but if this brief exchange had happened during the banquet instead it probably could of helped inform the audience that things weren't right, and certainly delt with one of its biggest controversies.
  8. While it might not be considered a great score, it's been highly praised here and honestly as much as I give it the ol' college try it just doesn't click. And that's the score for TROS, even in its OST-FYC combined form the music does nothing for me. No matter how many times I listen to it I get nothing from it. And I don't think it's a case of my feelings about the film coloring how I feel about the score. While I don't like TLJ there are plenty of things I do enjoy about the score and can get something from it. But with TROS the music is just blah to me.
  9. Sorry my bad. For some reason I was conflating the two. If the dna and midiclhorians are a side project do you think it could be an origin for Snoke instead? Like I can see this show ending with a tease in regards to that side of things. It ending on a redhead in a vat or Snoke in a vat with dialogue from the Emperor over the final shots before the credits roll.
  10. This show continues to be great and I'm honestly looking forward to the remaining episodes! That rendition of the X-Men theme over the credits of episode 5 I'm hoping is on the soundtrack release. Which I think is coming? I noticed in episode 6s end credits that it said the soundtrack was available on Hollywood Records but Google so far only brings up the main theme being released as a single, so presumably something will get released once the series is finished. This latest episode I was particularly struck by Alison Sealy-Smiths performance. It really felt like she was able to flex her acting chops in a way that the original show might not have allowed her to.
  11. Strange my viewing was almost sold out! That 30th showing was one of my most memorable cinema experiences. It was the first time seeing it on the big screen (got another chance a couple of years later), but something odd happened, I felt validated for finding it funny. Which might sound weird but after having spent most of my life showing it to people or talking about it and no one else seeing the comedy it was so relieving to be in a room full of people who were all laughing at the jokes. I also remember I was wearing my brand new Star Lord jacket (based on the full length one he wears at the start of GOTG) and sitting next to a kid that couldn't have been older than 4 with a extra large drink that was almost as big as him and hoping he didn't spill it over my expensive new coat! Yeah if they weren't going to release this in the summer hopefully they'll do a special anniversary showing! Did you manage to watch Frozen Empire yet?
  12. Watched this (for the second time) in the cinema last month. And gotta tell ya that's the best way to see it. It's interesting to hear that the reviews where positive, I've always heard it was poorly received or at least that was the impression I got. A general sentiment is Willie's really annoying, which I agreed with, but after watching with an cinema audience and everyone laughing at just how over the top she is it clicked into place that that's the point of her. The juxtaposition between not only her and Indy but Marion as well makes her more memorable, that she's not just a copy of Marion and a completely different character who arguably has something of an arc in this film. Then there's of course Short Round, the chemistry between Ke Huy Quan and Harrison Ford comes through their performances so naturally. That you really feel that Indy cares for this little pickpocket. Also like the film the score was something that I only really appreciated after the various leaks had been combined and @rubisetcie put out their version and it was in this most complete form that I have been able to really enjoy it. As for what I'll do, well an Indy marathon (of just the first 3) and probably a revisit of the scores as well.
  13. Deadline are reporting that Tarantino has decided to drop this and do something else as his final film.
