Haven't read the book for a while, but
was Arya revealed to be a girl so early in the book?
-
Superman on both. If this were "best" I'd pick CE3K over Superman for movie. Hook is last in both categories.
-
I beg to differ. There is no scene in the book where Legolas heroically swings on spider-web like Tarzan to save Evangeline Lilly from being the lunch of a monstrous spider, with Thorin (now renamed Giimli) shouting "That pointy-eared *****!".
(also, someone should really screencap that Wrath of Khan "humour is difficult concept" subtitle...)
-
Maybe if the books were written in a form better-suited for adaptation he wouldn't have to put bunnies or ringwraiths or Orlando Bloom in them.
BTW, every report I've read complains about the 48FPS.

Earth to Asgard is the second half of the end credits, after the album version of Thor Kills The Destroyer and the Foo Fighters song.
Unfortunately, very few of the film versions made the album IIRC.

This set is the worst thing ever MV should be ashamed of himself, letting John Williams near it was a recipe for disaster, everyone involved should be ashamed of themselves and quit the soundtrack-making world forever. Still, it's better than it would have been if Varese had done it.
That bad?

Yep. When you get your copy you should just throw it straight in the bin, I mean the CD case will be cracked anyway.
The worst thing: no acknowledgement for Angela Morley. Makes my blood boil.

It's okay, his head survives. Futurama told me so.

I only like the Raiders one when it's on the end of the overture, ala the DCC.

I believe her!

Must be a printing error. Mine is labelled correctly.

INTRADA Announces:
THE RED HOUSE
Composed by MIKLOS ROZSA
Conducted by ALLAN WILSON
Performed by ROYAL NATIONAL SCOTTISH ORCHESTRA
WINCHESTER CATHEDRAL CHAMBER CHOIR
Intrada's latest release in its Excalibur Collection features the premiere of Miklos Rozsa's complete score to the 1947 film The Red House. The unique combination of the 1940s and the film-noir genre provided Rozsa with an opportunity to compose some of his most stunning film scores. The Red House is one of the greatest of these scores. Full of passion, action, and drama, the score has only previously been released in suite format. Kevin Kaska reconstructed the entire score from scratch, ensuring strict adherence to Rozsa's original orchestrations and resulting in a CD of the complete score running over an hour. In all of Rozsa's extensive body of work, it is no exaggeration to state that this score contains some of the most compelling music he had ever composed and it is an honor for Intrada to announce this on what would been Rozsa's 105th birthday.
Starring Edward G. Robinson and based on the novel by George Agnew Chamberlain, the story tells of a crippled farmer who, after his daughter brings home a suitor, attempts to keep everyone from a mysterious red house located on his property. Of course, madness and murder prevail.

Retail Price: $19.99

This is awesome news, it's such a great score. For a sample, listen to the suite on Charles Gerhardt's album Spellbound: The Classic Film Scores of Miklos Rozsa. Great stuff.
-
Birth of a nation is an obvious one, the same with Potemkin, at least where editing is concerned. Triumph of the Will also. The Jazz Singer. Kong certainly, especially for us as it contained the first ever real film score.
More recently, Star Wars, Pulp Fiction, Raiders, Jaws, The Godfather, The Searchers, Goodfellas, Se7en. Altman's movies like M*A*S*H, Snow White and Toy Story, T2.
Could go on forever really in different categories etc.

From the liner notes of The Deluxe Edition:
Ironically, with the incredible popularity of both of his previous Omen scores, The Final Conflict came to theaters at a time when releases of orchestral film scores as soundtrack albums were becoming rarer. The Final Conflict was released in 1981 and, par for the times, was not accompanied by a soundtrack. It wasn't until five years later that Masters Film Music took on this score as its first release to be distributed by Varese Sarabande Records.So, in a nutshell, it's Giorgio Moroder's fault
-
I think a big factor in this would be international distribution, both brick and mortar and online. LFL are going to want this in stores and are unlikely to sign up a limited edition online only deal. Which I think is probably part of why it's prohibitively expensive for the labels.

Loved the episode, greatness.
Brill: Tyrion's scheming, Varys' speech, Brienne, the hilarious attempted consumation (and Margaery's tits!), and well done with Theon - I used to hate him, but that little scene with him and his pops was really well done. The dinner scene with Cersei made me audibly boo her. Good stuff!
Boo: Loras really is a twat, and his hair is annoying.
Next one looks good. I can honestly say that this is about the only film/show where I don't care about the music. The underscore is certainly bland, but I think that's a good thing as it can just be background ambience to the dialogue etc. It's usually ok during the bits it needs to be, but I love the show so much I find it hard to really care.

Synth? Paging Dr. Goldsmith...

I liked it a lot when I first saw it, but haven't been able to watch it properly since, which is a theme with every QT movie bar JACKIE BROWN.

The RCA has the take log in the back of the liner notes. Also, if you're going to trust anyone, Matessino is that person.
-
What a lovely release.
-
It's been confirmed it's a 7.1 upmix of the previous 5.1.
-
Landa by a hair. Ledger's Joker is amazing though (lol Nicholson).
-
-
For me, it's because it's the original tracks. Some sounds were rerecorded for the 5.1 mix (notably, for me, the sound of Brody's gun at the end) and while it may seem anal, those sounds are as ingrained into my childhood as deeply as any notes of John and Jerry's music.

They should just scrap The Hobbit and adapt Watership Down instead.
