  1. One of my favs, and possibly composer's best. JsARCLIGHT, unfortunatley I'm not from the Bay Area so I can't say whether or not the show still exists. It sounds interesting though (makes me long for that stuff here in FL). Radio is...unique here.
  2. Yep, I do. Like I mentioned earlier, its mostly a mix of Film scores...but classical has been creeping in more and more lately. Gustav Holst's 'Planets' Suite was really what got me rolling.
  3. The majority of music I listen to are film scores, along with a healthy mix of Classical and Jazz. They all seem to work off of each other. Jerry Goldsmith, or Alan Silvestri are probably my two favs, but there's been a lot of good stuff I've heard lately by older composers like Bernard Hermann and Miklos Rosza.
  4. I've always been an admirer of Arnold. There is a non chalant view he has on life that is both arrogant, and refreshing at the same time. After seeng Davis' rally the other day, I think its almost safe to say Arnold has a startlingly good chance of winning. Predator, Total Recall, and True Lies really strike me as his best films. Terminator is great (2 & 3 included), but the previous three really let him do what he does best. Most of his movies are fun. Dirty, guilty, and wholesome fun. Fav. One Liners: Total Recall: "Consider this our divorce" [said as he stares into his dead wife's eyes] True Lies: "Here is my invitation" [then detonates an entire shed of useless matter and foils a quiet escape] "Let the hooker go, she has nothing to do with it." [As terrorists kidnap both him and his wife] "I'm going to be killing you pretty soon." [after being asked what he plans to do under a truth serum] Predator: "Stick around." [After throwing a machete into a guerilla soldier who must have been spotted by Arnold's set of rear eyes] "Knock knock." [kicks down door and launches a grenade from his M16 into the gut of a man who could be a father] Seems anyone in Predator can become a politician (Blaine, Billy, and now possibly Dutch!)...Mr. Wethers anyone?
  5. After finally reading that synopsis, it is confirmed. Paul Anderson is an abomination to any and all project. Those character descriptions are some of the most cliched nonsense I've read. Gee Paul, I wonder where you got the idea for a female protagonist? Hmmm! I wonder Stan Winston isn't on board either, which sucks.
  6. I am a VERY big fan of collecting film soundtracks. And, this eclectic taste has forced me to buy CDs again . Lately, I've been trying to get some hard to find stuff by Jerry Goldsmith (Gremlins, Alien, etc.). All this roots to my passion for classical and jazz (since a lot of film scores really represent where we are musically as a culture today). Oh, and because most "professional" music is pathetic these days.
  7. Considering how insane the project made Bret Ratner, and the fact that he almost quit directing has ruined my enthusiasm for this. Personally, Christopher Reeve nailed both roles so well that I will loathe any remake of it. Shayamalan is a smart guy, I doubt he'll be suckered into this.
  8. I agree. While I resent the idiocy that was killing off Hicks and Newt, the rest of the movie is extremely enjoyable. Acting is certainly top notch, and returns to the style of the first. I think it was just a tad too bleak. There's a good film trying to break out in there. Maybe the new cut by Fincher will rectify some things.
  9. Now, THAT is the starship Enterprise. Accept no substitutes I'd love to get one of those and give it the battle scars from 'Wrath Of Khan'. Too bad I don't know how lol.
  10. All those features are very very cool. However, I feel robbed of one (although it could still be added). That is, the isolated score for the first film. It lacks a CD release, and the older DVDs featured an ISO score. Here's hoping they add that! PS: This should be available in a trilogy form which omits the fourth film. Just thought I'd drop my critisiscm of the film--excuse me, flick.
  11. I say Hollywood should shut down for aobut five years. No new movies, no new anything...just re-tool the thought process. Because, this is ridiculous. Almost as bad as Brendan Fraser being tapped to play Dirk Benedict's character in the upcoming A-Team movie.
  12. Just watched 'Alien' the other day. It ages quite well. Now, it seems more restrained and psychological when compared to the dreck that most of today's horror movies have become. The excellent score by Jerry Goldsmith, while extremely butchered, adds to its eerie majesty. I can't wait for this release. Screw the other two. Marvel's winning streak could come to a streaking halt.
  13. "To the moon TDK...to the moon." What a lousy outlook for the game. I was a staunt supporter of Battlecry (still am, its a fun little title), but this just doesn't make any sense. They're really trying too hard to impress people. The multiplayer idea is novel...but would have worked better in the Macross saga (20 people duking it out in Valks is quite the tease). Really disappointing
  14. Varese Sarabande Homepage Alright since no one posted to say they wanted to know, I'll just put it up for ya. click on their "Soundtrack Club" button and its the first title listed. Its expected to sell out quickly and know that it WILL NOT be re-printed.
  15. Still the same, obscure member who rarely posts you can't really lose that double O thing.
