Marian Schedenig 8,210 Posted August 4, 2009 Share Posted August 4, 2009 It definitely sounded like it in parts, yes. Otherwise, after one listen, it's solid, but doesn't really seem to stand out among Poledouris' bigger scores. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Diego 21 Posted August 4, 2009 Share Posted August 4, 2009 So finally iTunes Mexico opens up and surprise, surprise, it sucks. It has only 3 Jerry Goldsmith albums for example (btw, is First Knight any good??). Anyway I did find Men in Black for about $7 dollars ($90 pesos) and considering it's out of print, it's not a bad price for 256kps mp3s, so I got it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maglorfin 196 Posted August 13, 2009 Share Posted August 13, 2009 Hey guys, I need your help. Here's my current SAE wish list:- Heavy Metal- None But the Brave- FSM: The Print Archive- Spaceballs 19th Anniversary- Blazing Saddles- Star Trek (Giacchino)- Twilight Zone- Captan Nemo and the ... (Angela Morley)- Under Siege- Honey, I Shrunk the Kids- Nausicaä Symphony- How to Steal a Million/Bachelor FlatSince I of course don't have enough money to order all at once, I'll have to split the order into two or three orders, one each month. My question is predictable enough - which CDs do you think I should get first? Some of them are also limited and may sell out if I wait too long ... So please help with your advice, I'll be most thankful. Thank you in advance! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Richard Penna 3,695 Posted August 13, 2009 Share Posted August 13, 2009 Man, Honey I Shrunk the Kids is still around?

Koray Savas 2,251 Posted August 14, 2009 Share Posted August 14, 2009 Wouldn't that mostly be edits and repeats of the same material?That was my first reaction, especially since I thought my GDM release was the complete score. Looking back it only says expanded, but it's approved by Morricone as the definitive edition of the score. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wojo 2,453 Posted August 14, 2009 Share Posted August 14, 2009 2.5 hours of Once Upon A Time In The West?! Per IMDB, the longest version is the Italian clocking it at 175 minutes. That's 2.92 hours. A 2.5 hour score would leave room for 0.42 hours of silence, or 25.2 minutes. I don't remember that movie being scored wall-to-wall like that.

That's 47 mins of silence. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
