I've been ordering for $100+ (and even slightly over $200, including shipping) for many years, and until perhaps year ago, I never had to pay customs fees since after I got Varese's Spartacus set (when that came out).

Which means if your parcel had any virus droplets; its probably dead by the time it reaches you. And delivery guy probably wears gloves so....

So no. People could catch COVID-19 by touching contaminated surfaces or objects – and then touching their eyes, nose or mouth. 1977 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well his gloves could very easily have the virus on them too, from his interactions with other people and places. Also the virus can't have a "life span" or be "dead" as is not a living thing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard Penna 3,692 Posted April 8, 2020 Share Posted April 8, 2020 I've had some deliveries recently, and I just dispose of the box quickly then wash my hands. I assume that everything originating from outside the house has Covid-19. On a more positive note, I've been buying a load of scores recently. In all but one case it's because I saw the film pre-lockdown. Pet Sematary Doctor Who Series 12 Brahms: The Boy II The Invisible Man Underwater (I tried it based on Beltrami's attachment, and it has its moments) Plus The Call Of The Wild.

Naïve Old Fart 9,533 Posted April 20, 2020 Share Posted April 20, 2020 Oh, that Mastermind! There was a very popular TV programme, in the UK, called Mastermind.

Bespin 8,483 Posted April 20, 2020 Share Posted April 20, 2020 Well the fun of this game was to test the intelligence of the other player, whoever played the guesser and the master. To play with a computer, who can’t fail, is without any interest. I also had this « modern » version too. Probably one of my favourite child game. Millenials are probably not enough smart to have played this game. And so I became a computer scientist... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marian Schedenig 8,193 Posted April 20, 2020 Share Posted April 20, 2020 The master only needed intelligence to make sure he set up the black/white codes correctly according to the rules. And if he didn't, that was a pain in the ass to verify. The only freedom the master had was to pick the initial code and the order of the black & white pins - and all of those were best chosen at random. It's like using a Rubik's cube with two players, where one player's only task is scrambling the cube and then watching as the other player solves it.

crocodile 8,017 Posted May 14, 2020 Share Posted May 14, 2020 Jay is not incorrect @Bespin. It's like beginning your Williams collection with Star Wars and Close Encounters for Williams. In other words - this is how you do it! Managed to save up some money this month (everything is getting cancelled anyway) and there's not much you can spend it on anyway...so... time for some soundtrack shopping! There are some gaps in my collection that needed filling. And I need to make sure our beloved labels stay in business so I can have more Horner and Williams! First there's the splendid new Williams from Intrada (that I might get before the end of this week, hopefully): And then there's the La-La Land sale: Karol - who might pick up some more after payday in a couple of weeks (Goldsmith stuff, to be more precise)...

I only know Twister score from the movie and I was told the sound mix doesn't do it much favour. And yeah, low stock. As for Dances, I only have the original album and having recently heard the expanded Legends of the Fall (which seems inspired partially by Barry), I am suddenly in a mood to revisit this.

Jay 37,367 Posted May 14, 2020 Share Posted May 14, 2020 Oh you're in for a treat then re: Twister, it's a really good action score that's easy to get into. One of Mancina's best People seem to be in two different camps about Dances, some thinking the OST is enough, and the expanion only adds more repitiion of the main theme, some thinking the whole score is wonderful and don't mind any repetitiousness. I'm in the latter camp, I just love it all. NOTE: while it's nice to have all the bonus tracks on disc 2 after the end credits finish, I personally find the entire double-CD to be a bit of a fatiguing experience if you listen to ALLL of it like that. For me personally, I listen to just the main program, from disc 1 track 1 until the end credits, an ignore all the bonus tracks after - i didn't even copy them to my portable version of the score. The main score is perfectly assembled, and covers everything you need. Amer 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crocodile 8,017 Posted May 14, 2020 Share Posted May 14, 2020 You know what, I very rarely listen to bonus tracks. Unless they're really unique (Binary Sunset) or there are some cool suites (like HP's children suite) I generally only stick to main program. The bonus stuff tends to be more like deleted scenes on Blu-ray. A curiosity, something you check out once or twice. I'm looking forward to checking out both of those!
