YES.

Nah, I like TOS.

@Andy ascending, frantic whirling “oh shit” nail biting, action ramp up clusters.

The Star Trek box was announced in... August? Earlier? I was about to say that was not a BF title but then I didn't remember if it was or not.
 
Which was good because that was certainly not an impulse purchase for me.

Some people might not realize that I'm a Star Trek fan.
 
If anything Wrath of Khan has become slightly underrated. Search For Spock is probably a more "mature" and subtle work and seems to get rated a little higher that TWOK for that reason. But then people also cite Stealing the Enterprise as the standout track. And it's amazing. But it gets it's clock cleaned by Genesis Countdown.
 
Even without the whole section on Regula One and the in the Regula caves (which puts the score into a whole other crunchy scary gear) you have all of the big set pieces that Horner is just having so much FUN with. Or at least he's letting us have so much fun. And it all wraps up with Epilogue which is to this day one of my favorite Star Trek tracks of all time.
 
OTOH on TSFS you have tracks like The Mind-Meld and Returning to Vulcan (LP version, thank you) and TSFS has a melancholy wistfulness that mostly wasn't called for in TWOK. The expansion gave us Sunset on Genesis and Genesis Destroyed which are standouts.
 
I just think of them as one big score and then I don't choose.

No it didn't. I think the highest highs (and Hawkeye had some) were probably Falcon and the Winter Soldier. But I didn't like the show overall. I think all of the MCU-TV have at least 50% good stuff. They just either don't hold together or they aren't memorable. Heck, there was a lot of She-Hulk I liked a lot.
 
Hawkeye wasn't the greatest but it was almost always good. Just do THAT.

I still adore that line.
 
Every time I watch Smith and Gillan I can't help but think "They're both BALD!"
 
The most understated regeneration. And probably my favorite. Tennant's is up there just because it's so amazing to go from crying at Tennant to cheering at Smith. Brilliant.

My goodness. It’s not that I forgot how great these are, it’s just that when enough time passes and you listen again you remember how great they are. 
 
What else is there to say, so I’ll just put out an esoteric moment that I adore from Enterprise Attacks Reliant.  There’s a little bit when Kirk is waiting for the Reliant to show up to fire on it, and it appears to flicker out of a screen of static for just a second. Horner scores that blip with a dark blast of sinister brass.  Just goosebumps that the picture was locked with enough effects for him to add that little touch. 
 
 
 
And then all Hell heroically breaks loose. 
 
is it fair to say that Kirk’s theme is almost underrated?  It’s so jaunty and cocky. 
 
 

Yes, by now they're heading into manufacture for these titles. But one of the labels (might've been Intrada) said at one point that sometimes when they revealed stuff early, they started getting e-mails from people asking to pre-order. It probably boils down to: if they start revealing solid details earlier and earlier, it starts to turn into a scheduling mess and probably customer e-mailing mess when someone gets their grail and decides to try to purchase it early.

Yes, of course. On a screen of any kind.

Oh, thanks. Now THAT will be stuck in my head all day.
 
 
 
I was always rather charmed that this theme was the last that was played for 11.

Thank you, Simone.

Yeah, right, and my best friend's sister's boyfriend's brother's girlfriend heard from this guy who knows this kid who's going with the girl who saw Ferris pass out at 31 Flavors, last night.
I guess it's pretty serious.

You're certifiable, @Tallguy, you know that?
YOU'RE CERTIFIABLE!

Titanic should have had an intermission. Not just cause it's hella long but also because it feels like the kind of movie that should have one.
 
Intermissions should be a thing again, dammit. It's funny, I would think it would be the theater owners objecting (the logistics have got to be nuts in a multiplex) and the Artiste Throwbacks like Tarantino Remembering How it Was.
 
We watched A Haunting in Venice.
 
1) I loved it. I love Branagh's Poirot. I get that he's not fat. But this particular iteration, post war, retired, very weary. I liked it. The supporting cast was good, as they're supposed to be in this type of film. It wasn't quite the "cast of a thousand stars" that the previous two films were. Michelle Yeoh was unsurprisingly good. Tina Fey was surprisingly good.
 
2) We watched it at home. There were bathroom breaks, dog interruptions, we stopped to back cookies. I said "This is why I like to watch movies in the theater." I was rebuffed. Then I saw this thread this morning. Perfect timing.

For what it's worth, for my own film nights I adhere quite strictly to Lorelai Gilmore's movie night rules:
 
Except for the toilet break rule. But I do try to do toilet breaks (when requested) at fitting moments in films.
