  1. Please stop posting before you embarass yourself further. I think it's probable that they simply parted ways because Kasdan, was probably used to now directing his scripts himself, after BODY HEAT in 81 and THE BIG CHILL in 83, and preferred to continue that route.
  2. I certainly wouldn't turn down some shared bodily warmth from her.
  3. Fortune and Glory. I dig that cue so much that I happily put it on my ripped version with the dialogue intact.
  4. I really wanted to like YUMA, but it seemed so, well, average. Fine if it was in the 1950s, but when we have so few westerns today, wasting such a great cast on such average material was a shame. Especially since James Mangold is a pretty accomplished director. It doesn't help that I also watched NO COUNTRY FOR OLD MEN the other day, which is an incredible western.
  5. I agree with Mark, in that a lot of people are being a bit too harsh. I mean, sure it sucks some fantastic cues aren't on there, but we're still getting an amazing wealth of stuff. The DCC edits, again, with the extra tracks on Disc 5 people are always going to make their own versions, and surely any self-respecting fan already has a copy of that amazing disc, so I don't see that it's much of a problem. To be honest, I think we're lucky we're getting this much. Perhaps we will get the complete ones later down the line, but treating this as some sort of conspiracy where Williams, Bouzerueu and Lucas are sitting at home listening to their complete scores while laughing at the fact they'll make us buy it again in a few years is a pretty negative line of thought in the light of what music we are getting. For me the glass is certainly half full, but the way a lot are talking, it sounds like the glass is half empty. I wouldn't like to have been around when the SW Anthology came out. Hell, at least "Return To The Village" isn't mixed with the Last Crusade end credits.
  6. Is this post in response to anything? It's kinda like randomly here. But anyway, I would put the Stone and the Beatles in the same playlist if each band didn't have a numerous amount of great songs. In the end, they're both classic rock. It's because I'm a moron and I didn't read your post properly; I thought you did put the stones and the beatles together. I just think they're so diametrically opposed, they don't really fit in my eyes. Y'know, it's like Coke and Pepsi. Rarely do the two go together.
  7. Thanks. I was kind of inspired after being at a bookshop last week and flicking through the Indiana Jones Journal. Well, that and the track "Spalko's Dossier."
  8. I love collecting scores, and there's still tons out there I want to get, expanded or otherwise. As long as people are writing good scores, I'll be collecting them.
  9. Okay, I decided to put together something for the work-in-progress KOTCS expanded score. Let me know what you guys think.
  10. TOD. As bad as the sound quality is on the TLC boot, it's still vaguely listenable and has no sound effects or dialogue echoes. Whereas the boot of TOD pretty much sucks.
  11. I've been going around the complete STAR TREK: NEMESIS again. I still think this is a really underrated score, and I wish the alternate "A New Ending" made it into the film.
  12. I don't have the Blue Box, I still have the Rhino, but it's been good enough for me since I bought it five or so years ago.
  13. I can't imagine putting the stones anywhere near the same playlist as the beatles.
  14. Empire Magazine reviewed it in their latest issue (the Star Trek one) but the review gives barely any information that couldn't already be taken from the press release. They gave it five stars, though. I guess that's the first official review.
  15. If Bond girls' talent was any real barometer of quality, there'd be very few good ones to choose from.
  16. I'd like to know the answer myself. I only have the CD version but I'm assuming it's the cue name for the extended part of "The Well of the Souls."
  17. It's a strange instrument used to create an alien sound, created and played (I believe) by a guy named Craig Huxley/Hurley. Featured heavily in STAR TREK - THE MOTION PICTURE.
  18. I liked a lot of SPIDER-MAN and SPIDER-MAN 2, but the relationship between Maguire and Dunst was snoozeville. Maguire's Parker was very good, but Dunst's MJ was terrible, and to have someone so unlikeable, or even average, as the woman you (through Parker) are supposed to fall in love with kind of kills the film in certain terms. SPIDER-MAN 3 was unbelievably bad.
  19. They could still save money on composer fees because he could do it all himself.
  20. I organized our Halloween shenanigans for my workplace, and ran BRIDE OF FRANKENSTEIN, JAWS and THE THING over the course of the day. Great way to pass the time while being bored at work.
  21. The film version of ALIEN's main title gives me the creeps. As does "Humanity (Part I)" from THE THING. Favourite is a hard one, but it'd probably go to a Goblin one. Either the main title from SUSPIRIA or "L'alba Dei Morti Viventi" from DAWN OF THE DEAD.
