robthehand 3 Posted August 19, 2006 Share Posted August 19, 2006 With Superman I couldn't put my finger on what was wrong, it just sounded weird. Like half the sound effects were missing or something. It doesn't make it unwatchable (for me) but it always irritates me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It doesn't make it unwatchable (for me) but it always irritates me.the sound is all wrong, some new guy rebuilt a new sound into the DVD, stating the original was too far gone, well bullshit, his sound is even worse, than no sound at all.

Chris ChrusherComix 46 Posted August 21, 2006 Share Posted August 21, 2006 Yes, Lifting Susan from The Fury ALWAYS gives me goosebumps... which is why I was the only one on this board way back in 2000 clamouring for its expanded release before Varese gave us that godsend of a deluxe set. However, none of the Fury scares me... I love it too much! Haha! (Also, the death on the Carousel with the Carousel is the album version, but it is closer to the film version. The film version HAD the carousel. The alternate version is represented on the "film version" disc because it was the original way Williams composed it. The true film version is unreleased, though the album version is close enough - the film version is more choppy.)And The Abduction of Barry is right up there too. Two of my favorite cues too. Also, in CE3K, when the ships come over the mountain and the orchestra blows up, that would wake the dead, and possibly soil the pants of the non-Williams fan who had that blasted in their ears when they slept.Funny note about The Abduction of Barry... when I had pet frogs in the house, they all started croaking when it played! And every time I played it! Quite an odd anomoly!But in terms of pure freaky-@$$ $#!t, nothing beats Images from 1st to last track. It is kooky! And certainly scary in a dark room! Far more than any othe Williams score!-Chris, Wondering why Stefancos aged and looks like Goldsmith.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John McClane 1 Posted August 25, 2006 Share Posted August 25, 2006 The Temple of Doom.It's not the scariest cue, but someone has to name it, huh? The choir from Duel of the Fates isn't bad either. I kind of expected someone more to mention it. But obviously The Fury and Jaws must be included.I'll have to watch my sealed copy of the Superman DVD someday.How do you watch a sealed copy?You open it. 8O Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pixie_twinkle 48 Posted August 26, 2006 Author Share Posted August 26, 2006 When Chuck Norris goes into the sea he doesn't get wet, the water gets Chuck Norris.Chuck Norris sleeps with a light on.

John McClane 1 Posted August 27, 2006 Share Posted August 27, 2006 It's bizarre how the English Chuck Norris fact website has never been updated, while the Italian blog receive many new facts every day. I'm sure there could be so many English funny stuff to add...Like this one:The phrase "Made by Chuck Norris" is imprinted beneath the surface of China.

Mr. Breathmask 555 Posted August 27, 2006 Share Posted August 27, 2006 I don't think DotF is scary at all.The "Korah Rahtahma" whispers maybe, but even those are just, well... ominous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr. Breathmask 555 Posted August 28, 2006 Share Posted August 28, 2006 I'm listening to The Mothership from CE3K now. I love how it starts out as this scary piece, where you don't know what's going on, and then slowly, it turns into something beautiful and majestic.Such a wonderful score. I'm going to have to listen to the whole thing again soon.- Marc, who needs to get CE3K on DVD. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr. Breathmask 555 Posted August 28, 2006 Share Posted August 28, 2006 Double yes on the last one. My last viewing of the film left me shattered. What an experience. All the more powerful if you consider I was watching a centerscanned, dirty, scratched, overexposed, noisy bootleg VHS tape of the original cut.It's just that the whole multiple versions thing has kept me off from purchasing it so far. But I saw the Columbia Classics edition at a store recently. Looked mighty tempting... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ollie 1,059 Posted August 28, 2006 Share Posted August 28, 2006 I still have my Criterion Laserdisc boxed set.I believe the current DVD is the only version that has been released on DVD. It's just been repackaged.This is truly on of Spielberg's best films and one of Williams' best as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John McClane 1 Posted August 28, 2006 Share Posted August 28, 2006 As I like the CE3K score a hell lot, I gotta admit I've never saw the movie.Damn, there's sooo many great movies out there to purchase on DVD and watch...Oh, my poor wallet!
