| This is a comments thread about FSM CD: Marathon Man/The Parallax View |
| |
|
As you may have guessed - what with you lot going on about it - I finally got around to watching the DVD again.
magnificent film.
The music with the film is just perfect.
On its own, on the CD, its good, I find it evocative of the film, but Im not yet convinced it works so well as an isolated listen. Perhaps I will change my mind after more listens.
Luuuuuurvved the Weisse Engel scene again.
Luuuuuurvved the torchure scene again and Olivier's dialogue
On the DVD Ive got the finale yet to see.
So far Bruce, I dont see any continuity rough edges. The mugging was, as stated by someone earlier, by the two agents of Szell, and clearly was a way of getting Babe to trust Elsa more after going through the ordeal together and getting her more close to him.
The only moment for me that was a little questionable was the moment where the valet brings the wrong suit to his room and deliberately leaves the door to the wardrobe open. If that then meant that the assassin in the cupboard was then free to come out silently to creep up and attack Roy Scheider it wouldve made more sense, but the garotte attack itself was later, after the visit to the jewellers and the cafe bomb scene, and when RS is back in his room that the attack happens and the assassin is seen opening the door of the wardrobe, which is clearly closed. Possibly the earlier valet visit was designed as a tension red herring to make you think something was coming at that moment but it turns out to be nothing.
and allardyce was right, that scene where they break into his bathroom - true gruesome horror.
It mightve been two nazis henchmen come to get him but the attack on the door hinges and the force on the door it could've been an unseen beast from hell!
I also luuuurrrve that scene where "creepy" gets his local street hoods to break into his flat and they all pull guns on janeway. Classic moment.

.
one problem with that theory: Babe had not even contacted Doc yet, Doc wasn't in NY and there was no way to predict he would come see Babe.

Hoorah at last, someone cracking a "safe" gag.
About time Doctorplesman, we've waited days for someone to break the ice.
Now one has broken through, hopefully this will lead to lots more safe gags, because we just havent had enough on this thread, not by half!
Vote safe - you know it makes sense!
Hey Miguel, I think this was at least the third time I've played with the "safe" quote here... believe me... everybody should have done it by now... and I'll gladly do it over and over again, no problem!

You should take better care of your teeth.

Allardyce: You should take better care of your teeth.
What are you trying to say, Allardyce, that doctorplesman has bad teeth, what?!!
How do you know? He may have really nice teeth??
Ask him how often he brushes his teeth?
Uses floss?
Does he have an electric toothbrush?
And which toothpaste does he use?
Being a doctor I would imagine - with his years of medical training - teeth care is something a professional such as he would take very seriously. I mean, you're hardly likely to buy into the whole concept of good health, looking after yourself, body is a temple, food in moderation, balanced diet - and then completlely abandon your teeth, are you? That's like endlessly polishing your car and letting the underside rot, isnt it? A little pointless.
Quite honestly, I think your last post is a case of GOCIAGQFFBATIU Syndrome - Guilty of Cramming In A Good Quote For Fun But A Tad Inappropriately Used ! (ha ha just funnin ya)
Now can you please find better quotes in future?!! Or we will send round the FQUES - Film Quote Usage Enforcement Squad.
Methinks we should send this thread to a dental hygiene company. Could be a good advertisemnt.
Oh, I forgot. Is it safe?

Well done. We need more safe gags. And more safe gag crackers.
P,S And by the way, how are your teeth?
I think it is safe to say that my teeth are very fine, thanks for asking ;-)

Does anyone else's CD "distort" on track 22 ("Chase Part II")?
There is distortion on mine at 00:10, 00:22, 00:34, 00:37-->49 approx.
I quickly searched the site but couldn't find anything on this. The booklet mentions limitations of the source tape for "The Parallax View", but not for "TMM".
The imperfection isn't too intrusive, but if it shouldn't be there, I'd like to return it.
Many thanks if anyone can let me know if my CD should be returned...
Nope, that's how the synth was recorded on the multi-track.
