    I think you're confusing the words "humor" and "psycho" again.

    I would like to go to a comedy gig with you so that you could explain to me all about the humour and why a joke was funny.

    another thread off topic. oh wait this is maintitles.

  14. The insults thrown around here with such regularity make this place look like the Thaxton ridden board of FSM at times.


    BACK on topic. I thought some more:

    THE GOOD: "The Great Escape". Again, aside fro mthe few short cues on the Varese site, I bought the 2CD club set iwhtout having seen the film (since rectified -- very good movie) or having really heard the score.


    THE BAD: The Ron Jones Project: Into the Brave Night. Bought this based on his ST:TNG and "Ducktales" (and of course some "Family Guy") work. Sorely disappointed. Wrote a thing on it earlier in the Now Playing thread.

    Quite so. Also, there's more to life than worrying about threads going off topic, shocking as that may seem.

    I'm shocked it seems shocking to some.

    You could look at it like this: it keeps the thread alive.

    A recent completely blind purchase is Michael Small's The China Syndrome. It was an impulse buy and I hadn't listened to any of the clips Intrada had made available. I was intrigued to hear what had been composed and then rejected from a great film. A film that really benefited from the lack of music!

    It sounds a bit daft but it's a great opportunity to listen to some music that just wasn't right for the visuals (word is from people who listened to the music that the decision of the filmmakers was correct.)

    "The Mutant" over at the FSM messageboard has been adding back the cues to the film to see how they would have sounded/looked in the film (http://www.filmscoremonthly.com/board/p … ;archive=0). I had a quick listen to the cue "Ticking Time Bomb" and it sounds as though the music alone will be one of those experiences that are sometimes euphemistically called "a difficult listen" and may fall down on the side of a bad blind buy.

    [EDIT: The track "Meltdown!" is a much more action-oriented cue - but still sits uncomfortably with the mood of the film.]

    I'll be listening to it later tonight.

    As did I - and it arrived this morning. Though the Mount Pleasant customs stamp said 26th September - and SAE said it shipped on the 21st September.

    Ah, the nostalgia!!
