Well, whattaya know, Season 2 is much better than Season 1. And if you don't believe me, I got proof! Metascore Metacritic Raised By Wolves S1: 64% Metascore Metacritic Raised By Wolves S2: 84%

I thought you guys love a good James Bond movie? Sure, Tenet doesn't have the humor, but that makes it so Nolan.
-
Sounds good! Must check this out.
-
Yes, but the photo ... It seems Nolan doesn't care for authenticity. Nolan's Oppenheimer is holding his cigarette in the right corner while the real one was holding it in the left corner.

Did Nolan make a mistake?

We were over from the moment you said Platinum beats Tubular Bells, Kamakiriad beats The Nightfly, and Two Against Nature beats Aja. That's just contrarian nonsense and you know it!

They are both evil! And yes, Pet Shop Boys are evil too! So are Bon Jovi, The Smiths, Guns N' Roses, Aerosmith, U2, ... Goddamn '80s!

Yes drummer Alan White has died. He was 72.
-
In the series 'Confession Time': Michael Stearns ... Yes, that's right, I'm not a fan. Especially not from his "warm floating in space' music, which is too New Agey for me, his darker floating drones are okay. I'm going to guess that Thor loves him while Richard is lukewarm about him. Even looking at the guy tells me that it's not for me.

Ari Aster's Disappointment Blvd, a surrealist horror set in an alternate present, is reportedly 210 min. long.

Christopher Nolan's Oppenheimer has wrapped filming.

Instruments you don't like hearing in Orchestral Scores.

I know what you like, Bruce. Here: Would this track work on the beach scene in Chariots Of Fire? Discuss!

Talking about Chris' Rickenbacker bass ... I've never heard him play that hard ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nCJYWXBN35o

I expected you would say "Close To The Edge isn't bad but it pales in comparison to Tormato". I guess today is a good day. Hehehe, 'edgy' opinion. My favorites would be Fragile, Close To The Edge and Relayer. Going by the reviews over at Prog Archives, I'd say Relayer is a fan favorite.
-
That's what I mean. Film is a visual medium, after all. And he played (experimented) with 'pace' like Spielberg and many others can't or didn't. And he did it with such self-assurance! He wasn't scared of the audience's impatience.
-
Underrated? Proggers love Relayer, Richard. Sure, a few complain about Moraz' jazzy influences, but what do they know! To them I say: Stick to ... All kidding aside, I'll say Relayer is more loved than Tales Of Topographic Oceans. Of course, Close To The Edge is their masterpiece. I don't think Vangelis wanted to repeat himself by playing in another prog-rock band. Been there, done that!
-
Ridley Scott about Vangelis and Blade Runner: Hey, that's what I always say! Hey, that's what I always say! (about his Nemo Studios period being the best).

I was one of its 'underraters'. Focussing entirely on the story, I was not impressed. I didn't find it shocking, tense, surprising, entertaining or anything. Then, after having already seen it a couple of times, I decided to watch it in the same way I watch 2001: ASO or Ridley Scott's The Duellists. Meaning, I was going to fully concentrate on the storytelling instead of the story. And this time, I saw the light. Suddenly I was sucked into the world of Dr. William Harford and the film became a trip (just like 2001: ASO can be a trip). Kubrick is probably the best storyteller the world of cinema has ever known. Talking about The Duellists (1977). If ever there was a movie that is massively underrated! It's baffling how close Ridley Scott came to Kubrick's visual storytelling capabilities. Just concentrate on the 'how', not the 'what', and you're in for an intense experience.

True, the general public was less critical for the movie than the movie critics were, but I thought the OP was talking about public reception, like the scores on IMDb.
-
And deservedly so!
-
8,6/10 on IMDb is not underrated. Everyone loves it to death.
