What makes a science fiction film worse? Ones placed entirely in spaceships, or ones that focus on ambience, world building and long pointless scenes in alien space casinos?

633. Hurdy Gurdy, asking Graham Watt "the tough questions" after the latter's cock up on the posting front in "Do You Regret Selling or Trading Off Stuff?":

"Did you get into a teleporter machine with another FSMer or two Graham, and become some hybrid disaster of science?
"Has your ear fell off yet?
"Vomed your lunch back up to re-eat?"

634. Dr Smith, in "Do You Regret Selling or Trading Off Stuff?, advising that ancient Boomers sell their unwanted score CDs because it's later than they think:

"I think collectors should consider their life expectancy when deciding how many CDs or LPs to hold onto. If you are over 70, it may be time to be realistic about whether you have the time to listen to all of the music you already have. The online market is pretty fair and efficient, so you can always buy back something if you change your mind. But holding on to many hundreds of CDs for purely commodity fetishist reasons seems a bit outdated at this point."

635. Jim Phelps in this very thread, riffing on the stylings of a certain world leader:

"Sidebar: 99% of my posts merit inclusion in this thread, but my incredible humility prevents me from putting them here."

Commodity Fetishist would be a GREAT name for a band.

636. The 50-year-old virgin daring to pump some silicone into JJH's sagging Name Those Chesticles thread before it got locked by the finger-wagging Olde Garde.

Who is Olde Garde, Josh? I believe you have a daughter and Lukas has twin daughters.

I loved Cagney and Lacy. They were smart, savvy women.

(And I did not hit the report abuse button.)

Just an fyi Josh, I didn’t hit the report abuse button either. You can verify that with the admins if you’d like. I don’t wag my finger by the way. I use it to express my opinion which I did civilly yesterday.

637. BillCarson, pithy truth teller, in "Top Five Bond Movies, Bottom Five Bond Movies":

"Bond free zone this side please. wink
We are intellectuals over here. Lol.
The Bond lunatics have already made gen disc a no-go zone of Bond spam."


I especially liked the "We are intellectuals over here" part because of how factual that statement is.

So right.

It's been a slalom exercise on the "General Discussions" side in the last few months, trying to steer clear of the neverending Bond & Barry threads. Total craziness. If I didn't like Bond beforehand, I like it even less now.

638. Thor, with a well reasoned argument for the collaborative arts with a post he probably wrote in isolation in "Studios of John Williams and Hans Zimmer":

"Indeed. Do people have the same issues with John Lennon and Paul McCartney writing songs together? Roger Waters and David Gilmour?

"Zimmer is from a band background, and has applied that to his film music process. Some are predominantly solo, some are semi-solo and some are pure, band-like collaborations.

"The old, romantic notion of a solo composer doing all the work, in some kind of isolated ivory tower, is dated and absurd. Heck, even the most solo of solo composers usually have orchestrators, mixers and other personell, in addition to the musicians bringing their own takes on the material.

"Film and music are collaborative artforms by their very nature, and film music certainly is. We should be evaluating the end product, not the process."
