Naïve Old Fart

Ok, guys; hands up all those who saw all three of these films at the cinema, on their first run.

If you read the original LP notes, you'll know that there was a conscious decision not to have music playing over the earthquake sequences. IMO, this was a wise decision for two reasons: 1/ it allowed the sequences to "breathe", and to create their own impact, and 2/ it's unlikely that any music would be heard over the Sensurround effects.
 
 
@TownerFan, are there any samples?

Re:the thread title; I can say, with complete confidence that it either will, or it won't.

Nemesis? Nemesis allowed is not! Is CD forbidden!

You are right, Amer. I remember reading that CE3K would be a 2LP set. When it got changed to one LP, and who made the decision to reduce it, it don't know.
 
 
That's four places too low.

If it's not too late...happy Thanksgiving, everyone.

Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow. One of the most fun blockbuster scores of the past 20 years.

My revised statement  

James' book of poems SENTENCED TO LIFE is very good. I'll miss his dry wit. The caricature of James, on SPITTING IMAGE, is funny.

The best Endgame is this Endgame
 

Became a fan of Clive James when I was younger. Watched his talk show with my dad ("And now, Margarita Pracatan!"), remember his programme in Hong Kong in '97 and loved the man's wit. When I was at uni I saw him sat on the steps of a church near BBC Broadcasting House alone and was thinking of going to him to say how much I admired him and get an autograph. Felt it best to leave him alone and then read in a book years later how he didn't mind people stopping him as such...still regret not going up to him. He'll be missed this side of the UK. 

"Christian Bale is the villain in the latest James Bond film NO TIME TO DIET"

I've always liked FIELD OF DREAMS.

Before you die, I promise you; you will like more.

How film scores used to be...

That's scientific, hehe! I tried to make it sounds more like the Demastered Return of the Jedi OST. It really was my reference, so it took me few hours to achieve it.
 
So yes, it's far less muddled!
 
It's not a miracle, because the source is still the CDs, but it's now very enjoyable.
 
 
 

Is it April 1st?

Bernard Hermann is better than everything. Fact!

Better!

I still have the original release on Vinyl. One of my favorite Williams! 

I doubt any director who would inflict pain on the public in the form of four AVATAR sequels, for his own amusement.

On both sides of the ...
 

 

I definitely don't want to paint myself as a luddite. Many innovations in tech are good (and I enjoy taking advantage of the ones that appeal to me or that I can afford). 5G is going to be great, the continual improvements in smartphone cameras are remarkable, and I'm excited to see foldable iPhones next year. But many are also disturbing in how they undermine your privacy in unseen ways, or make it easier to create and distribute fake things that are meant to look real. (Yeah, deepfakes, I'm looking at you!) In my old-soul way, for example, I would happily trade away more innovations for more privacy.
 
I also despair at how tech is making working lives harder, not easier, for a growing segment of the labor force. The gig economy (as administered by the likes of Uber, Amazon, Fiverr...) is not designed to let people make a decent living, it's a race-to-the-bottom-style approach to squeezing people for their time or talent that we as a society were supposed to moving away from. I worry about the kinds of abuse Crispr and other gene editing technologies will see, and genetic engineering in our food supply is very troubling to me. More than once on these pages, I've shared my thoughts about Marvel movies, which make me fall in line with old-soul Scorsese. I still find it weird and unsettling to see A-list stars and directors doing Netflix movies, or to see the Netflix release date next to a theatrical release date on the same poster. I have no clue what Fortnite or Tiktok are (other than that Kesha song)--and I have no interest in learning about them. I like reading words on paper more than on a phone and I miss the smell and feel of newspaper ink. And speaking of smells-- remember what a real leather car interior used to smell like? Leather interiors these days are pathetic compared to bygone days (unless maybe in expensive cars that I wouldn't know anything about). How many ways does Amazon need to come up with to get packages to you? (First it was your mailbox or front porch. Then your office, then your car trunk, then by drone, then Amazon lockers, then inside your garage or front door...) Amazon's dash buttons are ridiculous innovation. Google Home can bark like a dog... who the hell needs a device like that? What does Facebook portal do that a tablet could not? And I definitely don't appreciate how Alexa and Siri are probably conditioning people to be less civil in how they interact with other people, since you don't ask them to do things, you tell them ("Alexa, do this"... "Hey Siri, do that"), just like one would do to a servant.
 
These kinds of opinions, in the aggregate, would be the musings of an old soul, I'd say. I'd be curious to know how many of these your wife agrees with, Jay. Or what she would say makes her an old soul.

Anyone else miss Jay?

Never Surrender: A Galaxy Quest Documentary
 
A very entertaining and thorough coverage of the development, filming, post-production, release and the film's cult status over the past 20 years. Everyone involved with Galaxy Quest gets interviewed, as well as a few ST actors and filmmakers (like Damon Lindeof and Greg Berlanti) gushing about the movie. Some very funny and touching remembrances of the late Alan Rickman too. There's a definite Trekkies vibe throughout the film too.
 
A must for fans of the movie. Even if you're not a fan of the movie, you'll likely see it in a different light after this.
