An all day chat?! That would be a challenge. A "chat-a-thon" perhaps?

Just popping back to the board for a moment after some time absent to say that I hope to be there for at least some of the time, but I won't make the 9pm kick-off.

I was an hour and a half late, but when I joined I think you'd spoken about John Williams' amazing sprightliness, then we went on to composers' health (Ennio working out at his gym), George Burt's book "The Art of Film Music", how (and if) our parents' choice of music formed us, parallels between popular culture ("pop" music) and film music, director Jerzy Skolimowski (THE SHOUT, and my favourite, DEEP END)... gosh, so many other things which I'm sure the others will fill us in on...
Oh, and above all, our very special guest star, MULLENDORE!!!!! ("The name's Mullendore, Joseph Mullendore.")
Thanks for hosting, Thor. My liver hasn't had such a bad time since the last time.

I don't remember anything, I’m still inebriated.

Ah but then I couldn't have played the Token American, something I've always wanted to happen! Either way, tremendous discussion all 'round. And a bloody good job of discussing Banshees without spoiling anything. Oh and how does it feel not having existed for 13.8 billion years. Sort've puts thing in perspective vis-a-vis three of us from last evening's party having corresponded at this place for a whole 25 years, hmm?
BANSHEES still sounds like film that is NOT my cup of tea (I have a problem with dialogue-heavy films in general), but between the discussions in the chat, as well as various feedback from colleagues, I should really watch it just to be on top of things.
But glad you enjoy the role as "Token American", Howard. I sometimes think you might get frustated when your many references to your 'personal cosmos' (baseball, The Twilight Zone, old US television or films etc.) don't get the feedback you want from the rest of us -- as we're either too young or too European to catch it. But I dig it anyway!
