I'm reminded of Marina Sirtis (Troi) talking on stage one time about reading scripts for "Star Trek: The Next Generation": "Bullshit, bullshit, bullshit, my line..." Looking over the new posts in the thread... Bullshit, bullshit, bullshit, no quotes by me, bullshit, bullshit, bullshit... ;-)

627. Scott Bettencourt, with a cultured, funny, interesting and above all, human post on the side of the board where so few ever are in "First Record You Bought of Any Kind": "A 45 of Jay and the Americans singing "Walking in the Rain," which I didn't know was actually a cover version of an older hit. "And more importantly, I didn't understand the difference between 45 rpm and 33 1/3 rpm, so I was baffled as to why the single sounded so weird on our turntable. "Tom Townsend-related footnote. Before she passed, I learned that in her youth my mom had worked at an establishment called "Sally Fowler's Tea Room." Since it was in Hyannis Port, and apparently Whit Stillman's dad worked for JFK (if I'm remembering correctly), I wonder if the name inspired the "Sally Fowler Rat Pack" from Metropolitan." https://filmscoremonthly.com/board/posts.cfm?threadID=159020&forumID=1&archive=0

631. Thor, now "one of us", meaning that he sounds like a wise Silver Ager, in "Oscar Nominations 2025": Complaints from Challengers fans incoming... "It's coming right there. When I -- for once in a blue moon -- agree with 'general consensus' about CHALLENGERS being the best of the year, it's overlooked, of course. Shame. "I find those score nominees excruciatingly boring and/or irritating. There are some good bits and bobs in THE WILD ROBOT, but the rest.....nope! "I just don't see what people see in Bertelmann. I can like a good textural score once in a while, but he just keeps churning out anonymous drones time and time again, and people seem to LOVE it. Baffling. Same is true for THE BRUTALIST. "EMILIE PEREZ and THE WICKED are just empty pap to my ears. And they're musicals, so they have no business being in this category. "THE WILD ROBOT is mostly boring, but as a I said, has a couple of good moments. "On the plus side, there are two nominations for Norway in other categories -- one for the script for THE BRUTALIST, the other for the documentary NO OTHER LAND." https://filmscoremonthly.com/board/posts.cfm?threadID=159051&forumID=1&archive=0

632. Justin ToBoggan in the weather thread talking about the recent Florida snow. Because No one can bitch about snow better than a Branch Floridian. ----- "Well, it snowed here. I don't care what the weather sites may say, I can tell you that the snow on the ground -- the literal snow on the ground and not some phrase -- was two to three inches here in Panama City, FL. "That includes vehicles. In the midst of the snow falling, people were out in the icy cold playing in the snow, dragging small boats with people in them, and one guy with a lawn mower that was dragging somebody in some kind of chair by a rope. "I especially hate the cold because I hate the cold. It's why I'll NEVER live any further north than I am right now. Fuck that. "But I especially hate it because I live in my car. These last days have been pure hell, including -- because of the non-stop snow and icy cold weather -- over forty hours I could not get out. I stopped eating early Tuesday before the snow came in, so I would not have to go to the bathroom, which at most times would have been impossible. I had barely any water and no place was open, so for two days I starved for the most part. "I was constantly cold. "If not for some hand warmers I was given as a Christmas present, I think I would have gotten frost bite and lost some toes. "I don't have a camera, so I can't take photos, but to paraphrase Buzz Light Year: "Snow. Snow everywhere." "And yet somehow, birds, cats, squirrels, and homeless people who never experienced snow and were unprepared, lived. "Proceeding the snow for about two hours (only flurries during that time) was hail. But hail the size of small ball bearings you find in pens, so no damage anywhere. "It looked like we were up north. No exaggeration. Go to images.google.com and enter: snow "Panama City, FL" "Today marks the first day I have been indoors (and online) since Saturday of last week. All those songs, films, and TV series about how magical snow is, and yadda, yadda, yadda, fuck snow. Fuck snow SO much. There's nothing good about it. It's fucking cold. It's fucking snowing, Everything is fucking wet while is dries forever. It's a bitch to get off things, especially if you have to drive. Car crashes. Death and destruction of wildlife and plant life. Fuck snow a thousand times over." https://filmscoremonthly.com/board/posts.cfm?threadID=92656&forumID=7&archive=0&pageID=26
