My 2-disc DVD of PATTON arrived, yesterday, so was listening to the score on disc 2.
It's so good, that I have listened to it twice, today.
How this meisterwerk lost the Oscar to LOVE STORY, I'll never know.

A QQ regarding PATTON.
Is the score on the audio channel of the DVD (the channel on the documentary, on the second disc) complete. If not, what's missing?
It runs for approximately 32 minutes, which doesn't seem that long for a near three hour film.
Just wondering
-
(big sigh) It's 'Dance Of The Witches'
-
Hmm. 'Sex In The Desert'.
90 seconds ago, I'd never heard of this show. Now, I want to see it. Badly.
-
Got home today, and lo and behold, my package was waiting for me.
Two 2-disc DVDs of PATTON (including the score on a separate audio track), and EMPIRE OF THE SUN.

Didn't The Orb do a song called 'Little Fluffy Clouds'.
Did Gilmour guest on that?

I've not heard Wilson's remix of WET DREAM, but any Wilson remix is well worth listening to.
What he's done for Yes, King Crimson, and XTC, is astonishing.
I wish he would remix some Floyd. I'm getting a little bored with James Guthrie's style.
Heck, I'd take Elliott Scheiner over Guthrie.

I like all his movies. Well, I never saw the Piranha one
PIRANHA 2: FLYING KILLERS is not at all bad, actually.
The female lead is a proto-Ripley, in both looks, and character.

Agreed.
Did they try to get Furlong back, for DF?
It would have been at least watchable, with him.

Wh... Where's Mexico?

He was the "inspiration" behind DF, he co-wrote the story, and he co-produced it.
He's just as guilty as the rest of them.
If box office is anything to go by, then, yes, he's still successful.
Artistically, though, he peaked with THE ABYSS.

I've ordered this release and look forward to checking it out; I remember liking the previous edition. I guess I should see the movie at some point.
The film is beautiful.

'Isabelle Comes Back' is fantastic, and it sounds great on the 5.1 iso.

Brilliant. Utterly brilliant.
Well done, sir.

Who gives a single shit what some director, who was past his prime 17 years ago, thinks about anything?
DARK FATE, anyone?
-
Well, I've had a wee look, and... yes, it's still BRAINSTORM

It's not bad, but I'll always prefer ON AN ISLAND.
ABOUT FACE is his best solo effort.

John Barry's ON HER MAJESTY'S SECRET SERVICE.
Phenomenal.

It was the longer cut. I wasn't sure which one to see so went with this one. Did I make a mistake?
It's THE ABYSS, so... no
Both cuts are great, but the extended cut (the one with the waves) changes the emphasis of the ending.
I happily watch either cut.

Most live albums used to be collated from various performances on one, or more, tours.
It was rare that a single entire concert was released.
Nowadays, all sorts of concerts are recorded and filmed for release.
Entire box sets are dedicated to a band's entire output from a particular era (case in point: King Crimson).
At least FLASHPOINT sounds better than STILL LIFE

Question: I'm looking to buy Flashpoint by the Rolling Stones, but am I correct in saying that, for some stupid reason, a complete album was never released? They seem to have recorded more stuff that was only released as b-sides, whatever those are.
FLASHPOINT is a live album. It documents (in part) the Steel Wheels/Urban Jungle tour.
The full concert can be found on STEEL WHEELS LIVE, released in 2000.

Thanks, @Thor
As I said: it comes from a lifetime of listening to music, getting to know what "sound" producers choose to employ.
To respectfully disagree with my illustrious JWfaner, I am not a genius, I merely have a "good ear".

At least another movie, that allowed Karen Allen to shine.
Have you seen UNTIL SEPTEMBER, and THE PERFECT STORM?
She's good, in both.

Sure, I'm just saying if you're a DP who also directs, you're sure to be very opinionated on directorial issues, and depending on the director and the project that can get you into trouble...
... like Peter Hyams and 2010.
Apparently, the suits said that it was too dark.
Peter Andrews, on the other hand, always lights impeccably
What is the last piece of classical music you listened to?

Given the opportunity, he writes very nice music.
