Naïve Old Fart

I'm happy with what I have. I have what I need, and I don't miss what I haven't got. I would like more, but I'm in no hurry to acquire it. I am content, and that means more to me than fretting over missed opportunities involving CDs (CDs! Geez Louise).

"Let's try another idea that doesn't involve your ten year-old sister joining the army!"

"Can't do it, Sally."

"This will not stand, man. This aggression will not stand."

"Life moves pretty fast. If you don't stop and look around, once in a while, you could miss it."

Fool of a Took! It's John Barry.

Ooh! St. Pat's Day. Time for some Donnal and Connal

It's the 40th anniversary of ABOUT FACE, this year. 'Let's Get Metaphysical' is fantastic.

I know it's not a movie quote, but... "Use of a sw-what?"

"You like my hair? I had it done, Clint Eastwood style. You see OUTLAW YOSEY WALES? Hey, hey, what a flick."

Also, the orchestra was significantly smaller, on II.

INVASION OF THE BODY SNATCHERS is dark, magnificent, gripping stuff. Denny Zeitling's score is brilliant.

Agreed, Alex. I find HANNIBAL a much more satisfying watch, than THE SILENCE OF THE LAMBS. It has a streak of dark humour that runs through it, and it looks better.

Let's get this over with, can we? I've just seen Daisy Ridley.

Agreed. The sound - even on the Blue Box - is still "small". Imagine II and III with the LSO.

@Richard Penna, and @Tom Guernsey, which Jerry concert was that? Was it the 70th birthday, at Barbican? As for Jerry not having a Spielberg, or a Lucas, Jerry had Joe Dante, Franklin J. Schaffner, and Robert Wise. That's not too shabby, is it? Frankly (and not to get blasphemous, here), I'd rather have one STAR TREK: THE MOTION PICTURE, or one PLANET OF THE APES, than a lot to Spielberg or Lucas collaborations.

"You know, I write film music, as well." "Hey! That's my line!" "Sorry, Len."

"THIS WILL NOT LOOK GOOD ON A RÉSUMÉ!"

My favourite 10cc will always be HOW DARE YOU!, but I'll give this a spin.

Well, what is it, baby? Spitz, or Swallows?

Sadly, what it doesn't end with, is Oliver Reed.

Damn good choice! Even though the recording is almost 41 years old (!), it still sounds as fresh as a daisy. I don't know if recording it direct to 2-track was intentional, or not, but it sure helped.

Scott can direct GLADIATOR 2 (is it really going to be called that?), as much as he likes, just as long as he doesn't expect me to watch it.
