517. Paul MacLean, in "Taxi Driver, your thoughts", believing that those who like the film Taxi Driver shouldn't like it as they do, or at least not too much:

"I find it a mildly interesting character study, but not a great film. I feel it gets undue praise[...]"

FSM is now fully engorged?

I'm not sure that's even possible for the majority around these parts.


And which parts would that be?

518. Micki Moreau, also in "Taxi Driver, your thoughts", proving that film and film music can sometimes be just a way to earn a living [emphasis in quote mine]:

"Honestly, I am not a film buff per se. This one has been on my radar for a very long time, and I also do not get to watch a lot of movies because of my busy schedules over the years. Between filmmaking, scoring independent film, acting, directing etc."

Haineshisway unknowingly questioning his own comments after I copy and pasted a previous quote he wrote himself.


* On another slightly more alarming note, I've had three e-mails this evening from people who are experiencing some skipping problems on their Man Who Would Be King CDs. Of course, I immediately opened two copies and have played them on two separate players and have had no problems whatsoever, so I'm hoping it's just a random thing. If it's more widespread than that, then the pressing plant will have to repress discs only and enough to cover whatever problems there are. It's not the master, since the two copies I've played are fine. Hopefully, this will be limited to perhaps just those few people - that's my prayer anyway.

If it's a larger problem, it will be dealt with swiftly, I can assure you.

* I may be misreading the intention of "If it's a larger problem, it will be dealt with swiftly, I can assure you. Hopefully, you meant that when we found out about the issue that affected some players but not others back in 2010, that we moved swiftly to be proactive. That's what I hope you meant but it's hard to discern tone on discussion boards. smile There was no predicting who would have the issue and who wouldn't. It was weird. In any case, the pressing plant did a new pressing within three or four days and anyone who ordered through us was sent a replacement disc and all vendors were also sent replacement discs. Since we had it so quickly, most of our orders included both CDs.

*I apologize for not being more clear, I should have put it in quotes. I wasn't commenting on the issue but quoting you from the other thread. I thought that would help answer the OP's question.

*Oh, that's my post from when it happened - that makes sense now - and yes, quote marks or saying that would have been helpful smile

520. Hurdy Gurdy and Randy Watson's acidpiss exchange in "The Unholy Trinity (Marco and Tristan Beltrami)":

Hurdy Gurdy: "I couldn't care less either way, Thor.
It's been going on in Hollywood (and life) forever.
It's just that it 'upsets' a small contingent around here (who also worship at the altar of Beltrami), so I wondered if it still bothered them (mischievous emoji)."


Randy Watson: "I thought the only one who gets upset about these kind of things is the village idiot with a hard on for Brian Tyler and who can only communicate in silly catchphrases. But considering the Big Beltrami Fanboy hates basically everything in the world, I guess it doesn't surprise he gets upset about these kind of things."

**********

Compiler's Note: Call me old fashioned, but shouldn't there be a third Beltrami in order to form an unholy trinity?

Yeah we've reached a new low if spelling/grammar errors merit "Favorite FSM Posts Over the Years."
Sometimes its a spelling error, sometimes its an autocorrect error I didn't notice while typing.

He needs the engorged FSM to give him a waver. I think we may need bow-wow chicka-chicka bow-wow music for this...

I save it for special occasions.
Plus no point in being sophisticated when I'm trying to fit in here.

521. Lokutus, all but certain, but still not taking any chances and covering his bets (but not the needed $262.00) in "Goldsmith- Pursuit/Crawlspace (Kickstarter)":

"I'd say the chance is about 99,99 % for the CD.
Saving 0,01 % in case the world ends in the next 6-9 months.

"Only 262 USD needed."

522. SchiffyM's spot-on autopsy of El Spielbergo's tepid Amazing Stories in "Your Favorite Amazing Stories Episode & Score?":

"The series was generally regarded to be a disappointment. I have to say that the problem was that a lot of the episodes were based on stories by Steven Spielberg.

"This was a time when almost everything Spielberg touched turned to gold, and he (fairly publicly) seemed to believe that any tiny wisp of an idea he came up with while brushing his teeth would – when elaborately produced – be a hit television episode.

"The trailer for this show, with huge production values and the John Williams theme, made my mouth water. But it only took a few episodes to realize that there was no there there, no stories, no twists, just big directors and a lot of money spent on nothing.

"What would happen if a kid fighting at the Alamo somehow wound up in modern day?" Well, nothing, apparently.

"What if a grandpa told his grandson that a train of ghosts was going to show up that night and take him away?" Well, a train of ghosts shows up that night and takes him away.

"There are episodes like "Mummy Daddy" and "Hell Toupee" that are half-hours apparently created entirely to justify the pun titles.

"Spielberg overestimated his ideas, or underestimated his audience.

"Have you ever seen an old SNL sketch where Jon Lovitz plays an aging, obnoxious Picasso who scrawls things on napkins and gives them out as gifts ("Go to college on me, sonny boy. I'm Picasso!") (It's here: https://www.nbc.com/saturday-night-live/video/portrait-of-the-artist-pablo-picasso/2868073) That's what "Amazing Stories" felt like.

"Some terrific scores, though. And "The Mission" is one of my favorite Williams scores of the 80s.

The scariest things to come out of either Spielberg's or Lucas's mouths are, "I have an idea".

523.  Sir David of Garland in the R.I.P. JOAN RIVERS

“She spoke very bluntly about how poorly women are often treated in professional life, including her own, and for that I'm very grateful.”

MML because I could read that either way!
