Alien v Predator or AvP Requiem?

Picked up Thin Red Line, which I wanted but was a tough pill to swallow at $60+.

What horror scores does Varese have in perpetuity? That would be a good start. I also wouldn’t put it past them to start issuing individual “complete editions”/“deluxe editions” of the Scream movies based on what was released in the box a few years ago.

My spouse was the same way. It definitely doesn’t have a hook-y concept with the first season, but I think it was a lot more interesting dramatically - what the characters go through - and thematically as well.

Russian Doll ruled so I’m looking forward to the showrunner’s take on Star Wars.

This looks rad.

Yeah, their e-commerce site made some updates and there was an unexpected issue where new releases were unable to be purchased. Those two albums were throwing errors for about two hours on Tuesday.

WAR HORSE

I always prefer whatever works best musically. With most scores I own, I don’t have an intimate knowledge of the movie and probably have never seen it at all. If a film version is full of hacky edits or extraneous loops, give me an album version every time.

A filmmaker can leave things open to interpretation or not by choice. In this case, I don’t think an argument is there that anything in Barbie is subtext. It’s a movie for tweens and it wears its morals on its sleeve, often even telling explicitly instead of showing. The only variable is the sociopolitical baggage - or the chip on their shoulder - that each viewer brings in .

I can only talk about what I’ve seen @HunterTech and @Stark talk about on a Discord server, but I believe this is what’s up:
one has the BSX release (purchased 2/2021) that HAS those two tracks on it, despite what the back cover said.
one has the BSX release (date purchased??) that DOES NOT have those tracks on it, matching the back cover.
Now the website has been updated to mention those two tracks, despite the fact that the back cover appears unchanged. This would be the first time that those two tracks have an “official” title, hence the reference to somebody making up titles for them in 2021.

I understand what you’re saying, Ed, but I think the read is all wrong - the movie never posits that women are perfect, and is all about the expectation or facade of feminine perfection being eroded - the world is a much less perfect place than it seemed at the beginning, and the Barbies and real life characters reconcile the frustrations of that and learn to cope on their own terms.
As for Kens, the movie puts on a very broad display of toxic traits, the kind of thing you would typically see in any movie that has a Jerk Boyfriend or something like that - and says that those are wrong. It’s the Kens play-acting the bad habits they picked up from the real world in a comical way. It doesn’t say that all masculinity was wrong. If pop megastar Shakira is saying that the buffoonish mistreatment of the Barbies is the ideal of being masculine, there’s no hope for her and I hope she can find solace in her millions of dollars.

When he ripped it in 2021, the titles weren’t on BSX’s website. The titles he has are slightly different.

8 hours ago, LB Makes Stuff said:
Hey, I’ve got a question about this cue or insert or whatever.
At the very beginning of the credits, this random (we’ll just call it an insert for now) insert opens them up. I’m curious to know if anyone is aware of the origins of it and if it really was written to open for the song that plays after.
it’s the first 18-19 seconds of the video below.
it does sound like something Walker might have written to ease into the song - instead of cutting right to a saxophone blast! -
She watched a different movie with her kids than I watched with my kid, I guess. Ken’s character was a stereotypical lout for the third act as he emulated what he saw in the “real world,” but he had a full arc, broke free and ended at a place of freedom to do pretty much anything he wanted (except hook up with Barbie).

I rewatch things so rarely that there’s no value in the cost or physical space of owning something on a disc for me. I’m happy to stream or rent, or buy a cheap digital copy if it’s something off the beaten path. I think the only discs I’ve bought in the last four years have been, like, old holiday specials that are only available for my kid to watch on disc.
-
Ditching content exclusivity and licensing some titles to other services is a great way to make some money in streaming, which is bleeding bleeding bleeding.

I got today’s email. Might poke around for the sale, but I think o have everything I wanted from LLL.

He did War of the Worlds - hard to get more malevolent than that.
