We can only hope that Leonard Slatkin and the Detroit Symphony Orchestra will record JW's First Symphony together with the remaining concerti under the NAXOS label (come on get a move on with the Clarinet and Trumpet concertos)!!!!

Personally I'd love if it was a Horner title not previously released on LP or CD....like "The Dresser" (1983), "The Stone Boy" (1984) or "I Love You To Death (1990)

Considering the context of the scene, this endless loop is… disturbing.

It is a goal of mine to try and make this happen.

That's happened to me a few times. Godzilla movies kinda went off my radar for a few years between 1998 and 2003 until Godzilla vs Destoroyah aired on SBS and that jump-started a franchise renaissance for me that hasn't ended since. Same with Star Trek, I grew up loving it, but I think sometime from 1998 onwards (even missing Nemesis at the cinema), I lost interest and couldn't be arsed about it, but at some point in the mid-2000s, I ran into people here like Hitch who helped rekindle my interest through the old Quote Wars and decided to seek out all the Special Edition DVDs of the movies and became more devoted than ever.

Many Bothans died getting me this photo.

Spy Hard.  The best Bond song never written!  Even Bill Conti is having a great time parodying John Barry.

Got my discs this morning.  I've never been happier

There's as much chance of getting Kate Bush than there is of Barbara Broccoli hiring John Williams!

He'll probably get The Buggles to re-unite for the theme song

They send shit out to customers now?  Do you know if it's top-grade shit as I'd love to get some?  Alma's been on my house about trying to get good shit for her roses!
