  1. This is even sadder when you know that he died from another form of cancer, one of the more insidious illness. He really one one of Hollywood's few good guys. R.I.P.
  2. Speaking of which......24 cans of beer in a slab/24 hours in a day. Coincidence???? Hmmmmmmm
  3. Thanks a mint, Charlie. I've wanted to do this one myself.
  4. What's the point in announcing a "world tour" if they haven't yet organised "world tour" dates? I still think some people think that a world tour includes ALL 50 US states and not just most of them. It's not really a world tour if they just go to Europe and England only.
  5. Not a musical sound but I hate hearing the "Wilhelm scream"
  6. I ordered my copy of the The Right Stuff the other day and now it's sold out. Got mine just in a nick of time.
  7. The Right Stuff. I've been waiting for this one.
  8. Now this is indeed extremely sad news. A very beautiful woman who had a very public battle with cancer although her loss was not unexpected. However, perhaps it will highlight the insidious nature of cancer. RIP Equally sad that her death is being over-shadowed
  9. If I am not mistaken I think a lot of people are comparing the music of Star Wars to CEOF3K. To me that's like comparing apples to oranges. They are two totally opposite scores. Both scores are brilliant in their own right but what I enjoy most about Close Encounters, musically, and like most others, is the The Visitors/Bye/End Titles. It is just magical. I can't recall any other movie that relied so much on the music to carry the audience to the end of the movie with the limited dialogue there was. Because I prefer the 1980 Special Edition version of the film I have also edited the Boston Pops "Space and Time" recording of the CEOT3K suite (with the "Inside The Mothership" cue) into The Visitors/Bye/End Titles track for an alternate listening experience. And with all this talk about the music I feel compelled to track down the orginal CD and the Charles Gerhardt versions too. This score is worth 5 stars in my book.
  10. BLASPHEMER!!!!!!! Burn, motherf*&^%r, burn. (insert evil emperor style laugh here)
  11. I watched the movie Hannibal last night and realised some of the music heard in this film is also in Kingdom of Heaven. It is heard a couple of times during Hannibal, once at an concert/opera and again just after where Insp Renaldo Pazzi is shown the reward for finding Lector. Does anyone know the name of this music and is it an opera?
  12. They all know Michael is too smart to put himself in a situation where HE can be killed. So since they can't kill him they can destroy him by killing the person whom he loves the most, Mary. He says he's spent his life protecting his family and when he loses Mary Michael is in effect dead from then on. That's just my take on it.
  13. This is a question about the movie which I have been wanting to ask for years. At the end of the film Michael survives an assassination attempt on the steps of the theatre but the assassin misses Michael and Mary is shot instead. But years later I got thinking. What if Michael wasn't the real target? What if Mary was the intended target? Does anyone else believe Michael was never the intended target?
  14. Sad, another big man of comedy gone. R.I.P.
  15. I'm looking for track lists to the following: Yared's Troy Ice Age (complete) Beetlejuice (complete) (50 tracks) Thanks
  16. Very sad news indeed. I mainly knew him because of Witness, Mosquito Coast, The Bride and Ghost and while I couldn't appreciate his music as much as I do others I did have some of his music. I especially enjoyed Witness and found it to be a really great score. It's even more sad to know that we have lost another much loved composer. These last 5 years have seen some the loss of some great names in film music. R.I.P.
  17. Yup. Once again. Nothing exciting there. yawn
  18. She didn't have the greatest movie career. She was more a stage actress. That's not the point though.
  19. It is strange, and often sad, that the smallest thing can have the biggest impact. No one would have ever thought that such a simple skiing accident, that I am sure happens so regularly on every ski slope, would cause someone to lose their life in the way Natasha lost hers. My sympathies to Liam Neeson and their kids, Joely Richardson and the Redgrave family.
  20. What should you do? . . . . . . . . . REJOICE. It was such a crap film.
  21. And use his own money? You have to be crazy or Mel Gibson to do that. Yeah. We don't want Mr Spielberg going down the same road GL did by wasting good money on characters like Jar Jar Binks.
  22. I have the Region 4 4 disc set and even though it states it has the isolated score I haven't found it so maybe it didn't come with it. But that was one of the reasons why I bought the 4 disc set in the first place.
  23. Fan of: Movies Star Trek TMP through to First Contact (Not seen Nemesis and don't remember Insurrection). Scores TMP, II and III only TV Series Classic Trek (TOS) and The Next Generation only. Waiting for the new movie though. Looks poo hot.
  24. Fifteen years ago we weren't entering a severe financial crisis. Wasn't there a big recession in the early 1990's? In Australia there was. It was the one we had to have otherwise we'd have become a banana republic.
