  1. Did I miss something? I thought this was pulled as Perseverance hadn't obtained the proper clearance.
  2. I agree, this is kind of why I came back here. But I just don't have the freaking time. I have a half-written review of Gremlins that's been sitting open for days, plus other stuff I need to listen to. The other reason is, I just can't afford them like I used to. Gremlins was one I had to make time for, but I've seen so many releases like 1941 go past because I didn't have the cash. Not a complaint as times are hard for everyone, but a reason nonetheless. Thankfully I'm getting Wolfen for christmas!
  3. The Pops Britannia suite of JANE EYRE. "The Return" is maybe John's finest hour.
  4. This is a good opportunity to put a new good-at-acting actress as Arwen and then digitally replace her in the Special Edition. Unless...
  5. If I remember correctly, an early incarnation of DINOSAUR was supposed to be like that, and would've been produced by Phil Tippett and Paul Verhoeven.
  6. I'd love to see a film about the dinosaurs. No humans, no talking, no subtitles. Dinosaur survival, a pseudo-documentary.
  7. It's a great box, but on the other hand it kind of sucks that scores like THE DAY THE EARTH STOOD STILL are only available if you pay $200.
  8. If we're going to books at any time, put my name down for A SONG OF ICE AND FIRE.
  9. I love having physical items (especially LPs), but I also like the Kindle and don't have the space for books. Also, due to shipping mainly, if the labels went to lossless downloads I would be happy.
  10. And a lot of it is usually down to how good the director and editorial guys are at telling the story, visually and audibly. I can think of a ton of moments where it could be described that we're "told how to feel", but the most successful of those are when the characters and story have been given enough audience investment that it becomes augmentation rather than direction.
  11. I asked what the forum thought of Morricone, it replied:
  12. Heh, that sounds lovely. I am even more looking forward to this film (I thankfully have preview tickets). Hopefully I can see WAR HORSE at the same time.
  13. While I think he has a point with scoring as a whole, I don't get why he's going at Williams. Surely there are worse things in Hollywood scoring than his approach. Is this just because he works with Spielberg? The man has a petty dislike for SS to the point where he keeps going public and it makes him look like a jerk.
  14. I love this movie. It's such a unique approach, and as you say the finale works well, especially with that haunting epilogue cue from Horner.
  15. Did he maybe also say which movies will be represented in this box set? All of 'em?! 1-6, all the Manfredini scores.
  16. I got you the first time, I have no idea. My comment was a joke, Mark Banning is a cover designer who doesn't always do brilliant work.
  17. Of course Jazz is American, however Belgium has a big jazz scene. Also, I acknowledge the works of Bill Bailey.
  18. Of course Tintin should have jazz, he's from Belgium!
