524. BornOfAJackal sticking it to the DUNE films in "Dune, Lord of the Rings, Star Trek":

"The latest Dune movie is about as corporate-scrubbed and thematically shallow as the worst of mega-media-corp cinema. I don't think anybody cares about the further adventures of House Atreidies if they don't even know what the spice Melange is".

525. Solium, Justin Bog Roll, and Kev McGann's assorted posts in which they talk box office bucks instead of artistic merit as a barometer for success in the aforementioned "Dune, Lord of the Rings, Star Trek":

526. Jim Phelps picketing for Halloween Awareness in henry's thread about something:

"Is Halloween a holiday? I never got the day off from school for Halloween on a weekday, nor have I ever been paid as a public school employee because it was Halloween."

I like that you are emulating my style in this thread. "Learn from the master", I always say.

527. Hurry Gurdy, Thor and CindyLover arguing over the definition of an “outer space movie”.

Thor: I wish John Williams would have scored an outer space film!

And before you say "hey, waitaminute!", let me specify: I'm not talking about space operas, but rather films that are set more or less exclusively in space and pontificate on our human condition in some way. Films like 2001, INTERSTELLAR, the ALIENs, EVENT HORIZON, AD ASTRA etc.

Hurry Gurdy: Spacecamp is set in space

Thor: If only.

CindyLover: Technically it is for the last act.

Thor: Yeah, but it's mostly earthbound, and it's certainly not the tenor I was looking for anyway.

I'd ask you to step outside, but I can't see the door through my eyebrow.

We are quarreling like the loathsome Gallagher brothers of Oasis, using Oasis as our vessel, and doing so in an amusing manner that makes it eligible for inclusion in this thread. It's more "meta" than even FSM's Thor could handle.

I don't know why it made me laugh, but in the GADFLY SHOSTAKOVICH thread I just ressurected, a 2022 post by JeffM:

"I keep seeing this as THE GHASTLY SONVABITCH."

There has been a slew of "I misread this as..." posts recently. Seems our lonely hobby is packed full of aging, blind, not-by-choice bachelors who can't see (nor hear) the Holst for the Williams (or the numerous composers for the Horner).

529. Sartoris undermining his own Goldsmith assertion by post's end in "Scores Similar to Goldsmith's Planet of the Apes":

"You are right Joe, and that's when you listen to such dramatic music cue that you realize that Jerry Goldsmith remains the most cinematic film composer of all time (imho). Unsurpassed, unequalled....except by John Williams, Alex North and Leonard Rosenman (imho once again).."

530. Thor in the “Who's your dream woman?” drawing a line with necrophilia.

Well, the childhood/young adult crushes of mine, previously mentioned, still stand. Courtney Thorne-Smith, Winona Ryder, Natalie Portman. The last one, Kirstie Alley, would of course be hard to "go for" these days.

531. Thor...again...this time replying to Sartoris (Europe's Gen Z Bud Abbott) in "The Sand Pebbles...Again":

Sartoris:

Thor: "Wow. Are you sure you're all set with SAND PEBBLES releases, Sartoris?"

534. Hurdy Gurdy succinctly getting to the heart of the matter in "Goonies, Lawrence of Arabia, King Kong":

"It's quite sad to read these has-beens hitting their socials to try a drum up support (and another pay-day) for these sequels that nobody wants to see (for films that were crap in the first place)."

535. Prince Damian and Advise & Consent discovering hidden subtext worthy of Sigmund Freud in "What Could Have Been, But Never Was (Thank God)":

THEN I'LL SEE YOU IN HULL (2000)
Directed by Danny Boyle.
A group of British Star Wars fans agree to meet in East Yorkshire to attend the premiere of the long-awaited new Star Wars film and to indulge in an epic comic-book-shop crawl, but the disappointment that is the Phantom Menace causes long-existing tensions among the friends to resurface. Johnny Lee Miller; Ewan Bremmer; Kevin McKidd; and Minnie Driver as "Jedina." Special Appearance by Ian McDiarmid as "Daft Old Man" and Kevin Smith as "Kevin Smith." Soundtrack features songs by Radiohead; Blur; Aphex Twin; and Moby.


Prince Damian: 'Jedina '? Is that supposed to be a star wars fan's wet dream. A cross between Jedi and Vagina? Asking for a friend.

Advise & Consent: "Its pronounced Je-DI!-nah."

537. Octoberman gearing up for his special "Octoberdog" month with a double triumph first in "To Start a Nerd War":

"But if one doesn't give away CDs once in a while, then the personal attacks will be too obvious!!!"

https://filmscoremonthly.com/board/posts.cfm?threadID=119373&forumID=7&archive=0&pageID=74

...and then laying a creep to rest with a eulogistic post in "Hey, Whatever Happened to [MIA Board Member]":

"With all due respect, Joan, there is a big difference between out of "sync" and unfocused, purposeless malice.

"Your perspective might be different if you, yourself, became characterized as "boils and scabs".
