379. nuts_score in "Howard Shore Ornette Coleman Naked Lunch":
"On note of Coleman's passing, I'm going to hop aboard the Jim Phelps-train. I love the works of David Cronenberg, Howard Shore, and Ornette Coleman. I love Naked Lunch. It's a truly bizarre film, perhaps one of the most bizarre made if one were to look at it from an audience or marketing perspective (Who was this movie made for? Me? I'm simply glad it was made). And the score is one of a kind. This one also lead Shore to work with the Master Musicians of Jajouka on a later score: The Cell, which is also my favorite work by Howard Shore. Most of his Cronenberg collaborations I would be happy to place behind The Cell. Crash, A History of Violence, The Fly, and Naked Lunch being his strongest efforts.
"Coleman had a hell of a career, and really was the key force that made me regret giving up the alto saxophone and jazz composition when I was younger. If I had encountered his music when I was in my teens I think my life would be much different. But enough with the regret, I want to celebrate the great artist that passed this recent day. Has anyone here heard his more recent Sound Grammar album? It seems I have just caught attention of it in reading about his passing today, but it sounds like one hell of an album."

This exchange:
Spinmeister:
"Beltrami builds this suitably portentous atmosphere in "Voyage to the Bottom of the C" and "Under the C" that climax with a succession of ominous chords one only naturally expects to resolve in a decrescendo, but instead he slams down the lid as if though his mother had just walked in on him watching porn on his laptop."

382. Yours truly, channeling Harry Moseby in "Night Moves-Michael Small":
"It's impossible to imagine a film like Night Moves being made today. With an ending as bleak as that, with the female lead decapitated(!) and the hero both figuratively and literally adrift, today's producers would confiscate the film, recut it, and reshoot it so that in the inevitable sequel Harry Moseby would have to "avenge" her death by going after the "real" killers and at movie's end, "find happiness", all to a wildly-praised Hans Zimmer drone. It is to puke."

Praise that brief era of "the cinema of disillusion."

And Melanie Griffith was "underage" when she did the nude scenes.
Body double.

Which is the same name as a very cool movie in which she also appears.
Exactly.

I haven't seen that movie in ages.
But I remember that the brunette was an absolute knockout.
Yowza!
Best movie-use ever of "Relax".
Deborah Shelton!!
Supreme style-over substance De Palma. Substance is overrated anyway!
