[The Official Pop and Rock Music thread]

I've been listening to a ton of Grateful Dead. Any Deadheads around here?

[Scenes where actors are supposed to be dead but you can see them move or breathe]

In the original IT tv mini series- Richie goes back to the Derry library as an adult and Pennywise is up on the second floor. He throws balloons down that start bursting blood over everyone. There are like 3 or 4 people that have to not react to balloons popping in their faces. 

[What's The Last Book You Read?]

I finished The Brethern by John Grisham. His books are my go-to for beach reading.

[What Is The Last Film You Watched? (Older Films)]

The People Under The Stairs

 

A Wes Craven horror film from the early 90s.  The movie never really figured out its tone.  Now I finally get the Simpsons Treehouse of Horror gag with Bart having a brother that lived in the wall.

[What's The Last Book You Read?]

Some interesting behind the scenes material in this book as well.

[What's The Last Book You Read?]

I didn't realize it had been that long again!  Have the forums changed since then?  The formatting looks strange on my browser.

[What's The Last Book You Read?]

Currently reading The Black Box by Michael Connelly.  I've never seen the Bosch Amazon show but I've heard good things.

[The "(Fill in the Blank) Has Died" Thread]

Roy Horn of Siegfried and Roy fame has died.  He was 75.

[What's The Last Book You Read?]

Sycamore Row- John Grisham

 

A sequel to his first novel.  Good to see those characters again and as always it's compulsively readable.

[What's The Last Book You Read?]

Neverwhere- Neil Gaiman

 

He has such a passionate fan base.  I keep giving him a try and I'm starting to understand his world.  

[What's The Last Book You Read?]

Judith and Garfield Reeves-Stevens ghost wrote all his Trek books.  I'm guessing his input was along the lines of "Kirk is a superhero! Go write something."

[What's The Last Book You Read?]

I haven't read Timeline yet.  I would probably work my way through his other books first before I'd read the pirate book and Dragons Teeth.

 

 

I started reading one of Shatner's Star Trek books last night, Captain's Peril.  All of the Star Trek novels are hit or miss but the Shatner books are usually entertaining enough.

Have you read his pirate book?

I did.  Very in the vain of Pirates of the Caribbean, simple straightforward story.  Dragon Teeth is kind of the same way.  They are both were super quick reads for me.

[What's The Last Book You Read?]

It wasn't too bad.  It was a step up from his John Lange days but its not close to his classic Crichton stuff.

[What's The Last Book You Read?]

Started A Case of Need by Michael Crichton today.

[Soundtracks, Compilations, or other recently purchased Music]

I've been ordering a lot of stuff recently, stocking up I guess.  I just received The Sum of all Fears, Days of Thunder, and Searching for Bobby Fischer.

Williams, Horner, Goldsmith, Elfman, Giacchino

I probably have Giacchino ahead of Elfman, but thats pretty much my rotation.  

[Ludwig Göransson & Joseph Shirley's THE MANDALORIAN (2019-present)]

Any chance these scores get a physical release?  It's great having everything on Spotify but I'm old fashioned when it comes to collecting my scores.

[What Is The Last Score You Listened To? (older scores)]

Total Recall.

Nice idea to have a sale, getting new music can be a nice mood-elevator in these crazy times.

 

Also, all the CD pressing plants are closed now, so the only new titles coming out in the next month will be anything pressed and approved before they closed.  And once they open back up, it will be a while until new titles are ready to go... we are basically due for the slowest summer in specialty label film score releases ever

Good time to stock up on titles I've missed.  Hopefully we get some other companies offering up deals.

[The Official La-La Land Records Thread]

Cool!  I'll have to order something.

[What is the last Television series you watched?]

I'm taking advantage of the free month CBS All Access is giving to watch Picard.  I watched the first episode tonight, gotta listen to some podcasts about it before I move on.

[The Mandalorian SHOW discussion - Spoilers Allowed for all aired episodes]

Brian Posehan and Horatio Sanz were in the first episode too.

[The Mandalorian SHOW discussion - Spoilers Allowed for all aired episodes]

Amy Sedaris was the lady fixing the ship.  This show uses a ton of comedians for some reason.  I wasn't a fan of the other bounty hunter either, glad he got killed off so we don't have to see him again.

[The Mandalorian SHOW discussion - Spoilers Allowed for all aired episodes]

I was not annoyed about going back to Tatooine.  I enjoyed seeing the Cantina and the pit droids.  I think Tatooine should have played some role in the sequel trilogy as well.  Not to get into a Rise of Skywalker conversation but it did not really make any sense why she went back to the Lars homestead in the end.

 

Glad you are enjoying it Jay!  I love this show so much.  I'm sure it will be a huge topic at Star Wars Celebration in August, assuming it doesn't get cancelled.
