  1. Oh, no. Its definitely not more serious. HANNIBAL is supposed to be funny, but I don't think that SOTL is. What I find funny about SOTL, is its obviously po-faced approach to the subject matter. It just makes me laugh. I'm sorry, but I can't explain it more adequately.
  2. So...you didn't find it "fiercely intelligent", Alex? Would you compare it to LA HAINE?
  3. I think there's something wrong with me, because I find SOTL to be one of the funniest films I have ever seen! It's not chilling, it's not frightening, it doesn't make me feel awkward, or uncomfortable. It is a genuinely funny film. All this "Chianti" crap, just makes me laugh my head off. HANNIBAL has its faults, but it's the vastly superior film.
  4. Richard Rodney Bennett. I have not heard the Craig Armstrong OST.
  5. FAR FROM THE MADDING CROWD I'm listening while I wake up, and potter around my flat, making a cafétiere. Oh, wow, this must be the most "English" OST that I've ever heard, by, probably, the most "English" of all film composers. This will be going into heavy rotation, on my CD player. I like it
  6. Speak, now...or forever hold your piece.
  7. Movie? JURASSIC PARK. Score? No contest. THE LOST WORLD shits all over the original, from a very...great...height.
  8. Isn't that one of the functions of art? To re-interpret itself for a modern audience, and to make it seem relevant to "today"?
  9. QOS plot in 25 words, or less: Bond still pissed at being betrayed by Lynd>discovers secret organisation called Quantum>sets out to kill Greene, who had Vesper blackmailed>on the way, meets Russian bird also out for revenge>Bond and Russian crumpet discover plot by Quantum to control the water, in Bolivia>tasty bit of Russian stuff kills the man who killed her father, and Bond - in effect - kills Greene. Sorted!
  10. BLACK SUNDAY is by John Williams?! Thanks for that!
  11. I'm probably in the minority, here, but I love NILSSON SCHMILSSON, A LITTLE TOUCH OF NILSSON IN THE NIGHT. and THE POINT. He belongs to s small bunch of talented, yet tragic, singer- songwriters, that includes the likes of Laura Nyro, and Judee Sill.
  12. On Classic FM, they do. Way more than is absolutely necessary!
  13. I hear you, dude. I feel the same way about THE SWARM, XANADU, CAN'T STOP THE MUSIC, HONKY TONK FREEWAY, THE HINDENBERG - all pure Cheddar, and all pure-gold, guilty indulgences!
  14. No!!!!!!!! I like the (magenta, is it?) colour-scheme. Just bear in mind, Fal, that you are up against the single greatest film poster artist, who ever bestrode the face if the Earth (the second is Richard Amstel, and the third is John Alvin).
