Agreed, @Thor. It reminds me of the cover of HERGEST RIDGE... only not as good. -

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. -
Your favorite re-arrangement of Devil's Dance?
Naïve Old Fart replied to Jay's topic in JOHN WILLIAMS
(big sigh) It's 'Dance Of The Witches' -
Upcoming Television Shows (and general TV chitchat)
Naïve Old Fart replied to Jay's topic in General Discussion
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. -
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.

Who gives a single shit what some director, who was past his prime 17 years ago, thinks about anything? DARK FATE, anyone?

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

What Is The Last Film You Watched? (Older Films)
Naïve Old Fart replied to Mr. Breathmask's topic in General Discussion
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 -

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.
