Never listen to scores. I watch a film if I’m interested in the story or the director or the actor or the music. I’m the judge if I like a film or
not.
I can't watch every movie to see if I will like it or not. Therefore sources like RT or IMDb can be very useful. I don't think I've ever loved a movie that only scored a 3/10 on IMDb or 25% on RT, so why shouldn't I rely on those tools? Of course, if it's a movie from a favorite director of mine then I will watch it no matter what RT or IMDb are saying. But some unknown movie on Prime or Netflix? You bet I'm gonna check the scores!

But given how much it cost, it wasn't a success
A weird thing to say since figures show it was a success.
But, yeah, haters will be haters.

Yeah well Avatar 2 made more than a billion and it doesn’t make it good. Just because a film is a financial failure it doesn’t mean they aren’t worth watching.
2001 ASO and Blade Runner flopped.
2001: ASO was the second highest grossing movie of 1968, not much behind Funny Girl.

Only 6.3 at IMDb.

I don't quite consider it a song (there's not enough singing on it for that), but aside from that I might agree.
I prefer Side A.

STRAIGHT TIME is a woefully underrated film.
I have it in glorious DVD quality!

I couldn't stomach that movie.

Haven't seen Clean And Sober but I do remember his role in Raising Arizona.

Here's Emmet Walsh as Dustin Hoffman's parole officer in Straight Time (1978) from Ulu Grosbard. As some of you might remember, Ridley Scott actually wanted Dustin Hoffman to play Rick Deckard in Blade Runner and I think this scene with Emmet and Dustin might have something to do with that.

Rest in peace, captain Bryant. I think he knew all along that the Deckard who was sitting in front of him was a replicant.

No, Trevor Horn's Echoes: Ancient & Modern

Echoes, Richard! Echoes!

Is it classical? Is it electronic? Is it pop? Or is it simply a merging of everything, as the title suggests? Dudley employs choir, orchestra and electronics in a fascinating hybrid style for this 1999 concept album.
Pretty good, Thor. Very enjoyable. Love the recording as well.

Why can't we have real colours?
Those are reserved for romantic comedies. This is horror sci-fi!

Listening to Echos right now. Every track (all covers, I think) is sung by different artist ... Meh ... It's not good. Sounds like background cover versions for restaurants or H&M.

Alex, have you heard PRODUCERS?
'Made In Basing Street' is really good.
No, not familiar with any of this. Are we still talking about Trevor Horn?
To be clear:
The Age Of Plastic > Adventures In Modern Recording > Drama

I never thought about there being a person there either. Interesting.
Yes, bare-chested and jeans.
Anyway, who knew Trevor Horn has a new album?

Will The Sun apologize if the new James Bond turns out to be Daniel Radcliffe?

This means the end of Bond.

There's even a guy deflecting bullets with a light sword. This has to be the worst franchise ever.

I find, it rather starts off like Beethoven's famous "Mondschein Sonate".
Listen again to the intro, especially to the harpsichord. It's vintage JW! Steve was a John Williams fan!! I know it!

Steve Harley had two big hits in the '70s.
This one (Sebastian) starts like a vintage JW score.

Hundreds of thousands. Anyway, my tried-and-tested method seems to work for me. At least it spares me from the stinkers out there. I've learned over the years that it actually works better for me than a film recommendation from a friend. That doesn't mean that I rely on other people and critics to make up my mind about a certain movie, as you kinda keep on insinuating. It's just a selection method. If you can prove to me (by giving examples) that what I'm doing is wrong then I'm curious to hear it. I'm not talking about financial flops that are actually good or even great movies. I really don't see the correlation between that. No, I'm talking about scores! Ratings! BTW, it only works when the rating are low.
