    Only guest on Little Fluffy Clouds I know of was Joni Mitchell, who features in a sample talking about her childhood taken from an interview she gave.

    And with today being Mancini's 100th birthday, let me again point to where I think its syncopations originate:

    Top 10, maybe even top 5 Silvestri for me. Nobody could do glorious Synclavier stuff like he did! Film is also a huge nostalgic favourite, one of my earliest cinema memories (partly shot in Norway, no less!).

    Another great album (my cover is different), but again -- it's from 2010. He hasn't released anything since RATTLE THAT LOCK in 2015, except that Ukraine song and another song with his daughter.

    I hated what they did to John Connor in Dark Fate. They really did him dirty on that movie, only to replace him with a bland character and a new renamed Skynet. And what the heck was that awful Terminator getting married and having kids or whatever?
     
    Never finished that piece of crap, and never will. Screw this franchise. I'll act like T2 is the canon ending of the Terminator saga and everything that came later was a nightmare Sarah Connor had while they were hiding in Mexico.

    I kinda like Salvation more than T3 tbh. Salvation is flawed but I like that it at least tried to do something different. From T3 I love the truck chase, but aside from that that movie is crap.
     
    Genisys is pure and complete dogshit.

    I've never seen it, I meant I like all the films Cameron has directed
     
    It is depressing that every single time anyone makes another Terminator movie, they ignore every sequel that came before it and do another direct sequel to T2, and that they are all bad films in different ways.  At least the Sarah Connor Chronicles TV series was decent, and the ending of T3 was kinda cool.  Salvation and Genisys though, yikes.

    Apparently Steven Wilson, who recently remixed Richard Wright's Wet Dream (recommended - check it out on your streaming service!), is now remixing David Gilmour's debut album.

    "David Lynch’s adaptation was disappointing. It was missing the power of Herbert’s novel. Villeneuve’s films are much more convincing. The characters are sketched out, they are very identifiable. It’s pure cinema. I speak regularly to Denis, filmmaker to filmmaker. We record our conversations, like Trufaut and Hitchcock." - James Cameron

    A 1957 film with Elizabeth Taylor, and Montgomery Clift, Gone with the wind like.
     

     
    It's included  in the 100 essential film scores of the 20th century.

    It holds a special place in my heart because it was the first soundtrack I've ever heard (I mean as an album, apart from the picture) and the reason I'm now a film music lover.
    I also think the Love theme is my favorite love theme ever! (more even than any of Williams's love themes)

    A few more and I’ll stop. Promise.
     
    Doctor Who: Part 1/6 - Invasion of Death. First in an interminable 6 part serial starring Jon Pertwee as the popular Time Lord. This week, five minutes of plot are crammed into an entire episode as Jo and the Doctor traipse around London, slowly revealing clues about the pending invasion and leading them to the head alien being poorly revealed in a badly executed zoom shot during the closing cliffhanger.
     
    Doctor Who: Part 4/6 - Invasion of Death. Padding episode of an interminable 6 part serial starring Jon Pertwee as the popular Time Lord. This week, Jo and the Doctor get stuck in a maze solving clues that are entirely irrelevant to the plot and outcome while the Brig is driven around in his jeep and shouts at Benton.
     
    Star Trek: Enterprise. Previously unseen pilot of be unpopular Star Trek prequel starring former Tory MP Jeffrey Archer as the deceitful captain of the federation's first deep space exploration ship. This week Captain Archer offends the Klingon Chancellor and then lies about it leading to life imprisonment on a frozen asteroid prison where a shape shifting alien ensures he doesn't escape.

    Deal or No Deal: creepy uncle figure Noel Edmonds introduces a special edition of the popular dim witted gameshow as a a selection of uniquely stupid members of the public open boxes in an attempt to win the popular Kent seaside town.
     
    Quantum Leap: previously unbroadcast pilot for the popular time hopping drama series sees the avant garde Irish novelist leap through time and help avert happy endings. This week, Beckett ensures the wife of a wealthy oil baron drowns in the pool after being caught embezzling money from her husband's business.
     
    Deep Space Nine. "The Weakest Link". As part of Star Trek's crossover season, Anne Robinson travels to the Gamma Quadrant to awkwardly hurl poorly scripted insults at unsuspecting members of the Founders as one by one they are voted off as the weakest link.
     
    Star Trek: The Next Generation. In an all new crossover episode, "Silicon Avatar Part 2", the crew of the Enterprise must race to stop the crystalline entity and Data's evil brother Lore from destroying the peaceful Na'vi.

    Charlie Brooker, now of Black Mirror fame, used to write a fake tv listings magazine called TV Go Home (it’s online and very funny). According to my Facebook, 11 years ago, I went through a spate of doing my own. Sorry/not sorry for repeating them here. I don’t think these have dated too badly aside from the ones which are clearly references to much older shows. I’d definitely watch the Murder, She Wrote one. Why hasn’t anyone made that yet?!
     
    High Concept: Brand new high concept sci-fi show in which an improbable event occurs, the reason or outcome of which never gets aired due to being cancelled midway through the first season as the audience quickly realise the writers haven't a fucking clue where the plot is going and stop watching.
     
    Dexter, She Wrote: Prequel showing the early life of Jessica Fletcher during which serial killer Dexter Morgan shows a young Jessica Fletcher how to get away being a mass murderer and frame seemingly innocent people while visiting nieces or nephews.
     
    Jeremy Kyle: Intervention! In a twist on the classic formula, Jeremy Kyle is put in front of an audience of mocking peasants as members of Kyle's own family are brought on to confront each of Kyle's own personal failings as the audience jeers at him like a monkey in a zoo. Followed by  Jeremy Kyle's Little Brother. Dara O'Briain asks Jeremy Kyle's little brother how Jeremy must be feeling about the vicious mocking he has just received while watching Jeremy Kyle weep uncontrollably in gloriously lo-def CCTV footage.
     
    The Culture Show: Lauren Laverne compares the growth rates of Bacillus anthracis and cyanobacterium Synechococcus while discussing a new production of the Cherry Orchard starring a small tub of Activia.
     
    Torchwood Late Night: Spin off from the unpopular sci-fi show. Episode 3/13 "The Shagging". Human dick machine Captain Jack Harkness must copulate with every human in the greater Cardiff area in order to prevent an alien invasion of some sort while the rest of the team go looking for a less conspicuous van to drive around in.
     
    Whicker's World. Episode 3/6 The W(h)icker Man. This week, globe trotting documentary maker Alan Whicker visits a Scottish Island with surprising results.

    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
