    Naïve Old Fart reacted to The Illustrious Jerry in STAR WARS Custom Covers thread   
    It's obviously a farce, but it was too perfect not to make when you consider how similar the shot is to the LLL release of Saving Private Ryan.

    Clint Eastwood's despairing melancholic elegiac Letters From Iwo Jima definitely makes a powerful anti-war statement.
     
    Nice theme too!

    One thing I remember finding odd about the movie is how much of a goof they made Fred Haise out to be. He knocked up his wife accidentally, vomited on the  way up, substituted country music on the tape player for fun, made a crude joke about eating dead rhino ass, couldn’t understand how Swigert figured out the math for oxygen consumption (or something) and somehow forgot there were three people aboard instead of two. And there’s probably more that I’m forgetting. Altogether, it’s a little much.

    His more experimental stuff no, but for his typical drama score there's plenty of orchestra, just usually not a very big one.
     
    In this case, it might just be a critic who's not into scores thinking 'music = orchestra' without really listening to it.

    Night Shift is pretty good, though Michael Keaton carries that one.

    I'm referring to the "Classical" concert hall. It would make a nice concert piece:
    Korngold - Violin Concerto in D major
    Williams - "Stored Memories", tone poem for Orchestra (based on A.I. Artificial Intelligence, motion picture)
    Intermission
    Rautavaara - Symphony No. 7, 'Angel of Light'

    Because someday he might end up scoring a Star Wars movie

    RONIN is a superb film and one of the best of the 90s.
    @Sweeping Strings, don't forget Jonathan Pryce, Natascha McElhone, and Michel Londsdale.
    It's such a multilayered film, covering loyalty, obedience, obligation, and loneliness. It fairly zings along, thanks to a smart script, assured direction, good performances all round, sweet cinematography, and crisp editing, courtesy of Tony Gibbs.
    It's been described as "An existentialist car chase movie, with the occasional fag break", and, for the best part, I wouldn't disagree.
    If you haven't seen it, do so!
    One question: what colour is the boathouse, at Hereford?
