I can barely believe how nasty people are on this board towards Varese. Varese has in the past released a ton of superb film scores. Without them our collections would indeed be much smaller.



" Varese has in the past ....."

For some of us who started with Varese in 1978 ..... the VERY DISTANT past!

Well, guess I'm one of the few who think this looks pretty good, it's the only one of today's releases I'll spring for, although it'll take a week or two to put the cash aside. The usual hatred is expected big grin but, damn guys, they have to sell some albums.

Luckily, I do not think you are one of the few. I too am looking forward to this. I just don't bother to waste time responding to the tiresome poster here (just waiting for his twin to post he is not buying it as as well). I do not think the relative handful of strident not-buyers are ultimately representive of much at all. As SchiffyM has pointed out, the fact that the one-note wonders have the right to post does not grant them the right to be taken seriously.

NK


I too think it looks good and will be picking it up. The grumpy old guys can wallow in their misery for all I care. Keep the great releases coming Varese!




" ..... grumpy old guys ......."

Does Varese give a senior citizen discount? big grin



Yea, but not if they're whiners. Looks like you're SOL! big grin

How could I not share this quote from the new issue (#81) of FILMS OF THE GOLDEN AGE magazine, by Greg Mank & Tom Weaver, closing out their article, "Evolution of a Horror Star: The Lon Chaney Jr. Timeline," to wit:

NOVEMBER 2011: Ron Meyer, longtime head of Universal, appears at the Savannah (Georgia) Film Festival and admits, "We make a lot of shitty movies. Every one of them breaks my heart . . . One of the worst movies we ever made was WOLFMAN. WOLFMAN and BABE 2 are two of the shittiest movies we put out." A 2014 Los Angeles Times article lists the 2010 THE WOLFMAN among the most expensive flops of all time.

I don't get the flak that 2010's Wolfman gets; we recently discussed it:

http://www.filmscoremonthly.com/board/posts.cfm?threadID=109976&forumID=7&archive=0

And looking at Universal's list of movies from 2010, surely that honor should have went to the awful "Robin Hood". But I guess that made enough money not to be considered a turd. wink

Yikes! What a relief, for a minute there Preston I thought you meant the 1941 classic! wink

I never saw the new WOLFMAN, (you can tell it's the reboot because there's no space between WOLF and MAN, though I hoped the context would also make that clear,) so I have no opinion of my own to express. If indeed anyone has a higher opinion of the film than this Universal kingpin, possibly that's because studio execs sometimes equate box-office with quality, or lack of same. Mind, I say, "Possibly." It's also possible that this guy thinks WOLFMAN was, as he said, a movie de merde.
