666. Nicolai P. Zwar sarcastically (or just Germanically) counting down the seconds in that f*cking Jerry Goldsmith Companion Book thread.

"It's doable!

"Time Remaining in 2025:
8 months 26 days
38 weeks 4 days
270 days"

Oh, sorry, Jim, he edited and corrected the title and I missed he corrected it and posted the corrected one.

Originally it was not "Titles", it was "Titties".

667. Thor pointing out just a few of zooba's Bobby Deerfield threads over the years in "Grusin's superb Bobby Deerfield needs a cd release":

"No one can fault your enthusiasm, zooba. Your memory is another matter. You've done about 20 threads on BOBBY DEERFIELD over the years, many of which call for a CD release. Here are some:

BTW, I've never seen that film, nor do I recall it ever being shown on television.

668. Bill in Portland Maine with a singular expression of birthday congratulations for composer Bill Conti as well as a hot take on his choice for the United States national anthem in "Happy Birthday Bill Conti!":

"The only time I ever got mad enough to write a nastygram to a record company was when Geffen refused to release the soundtrack to "The Right Stuff." Unbelievable. Not even after he won the Oscar for it. Sure, Conti's re-recording three years later was terrific, but missed some cues I loved from the movie. What a masterpiece. They should swap out our current national anthem for Conti's theme. No lyrics to mangle. Everyone just stands and gets a lump in their throat.

"Also he has a great first name.

"With the benefit of hindsight, I now know beyond all doubt that my brain was hardwired from birth to adore Bill Conti's musical sensibility and style, varied as it was. And to have them merge with some of the best movies ever made in the best possible way, well...he's in the pantheon.

Happy birthday, Bill."

Aha. We're in the "it's shipped!/it's being processed!/ Nothings happening!/ It's stuck in transit/ it's gone to the wrong country/ tracking isn't working/ postal service has lost it/ where's my parcel/ I think the neighbours got it, I'm sure I heard it playing next door/ it's here?/ It's here!/ Haven't listened to it yet/ sounds great!/ Something sounds wrong to my ears/ what have they done?/ they sent the wrong discs/ what's the next release " phase of this thread.

It's like the good old days. Good times.

670. haineshisway almost not making it about himself until the last sentence in "Fake Miscreants":

"I mean, he/she even AFTER revealing the "I got you again" and I'll be back doing it a different way, still tried to lie and play the victim. It would be more than fun to expose this piece of crap. I remember his/her/its last thing when he/she/it was trying to ID music from Turkish movies - I even think I may have been the one to ID it. Maybe I'll try and find that thread."

Fake miscreants? I prefer the real ones. wink

"The internet has provided a megaphone to batshitty antagonists who in saner times would've been stoned by local villagers."

673. Prince Damian and Tall Guy, respectively, and their British one-two punch to the same post in "To Start a Nerd War":

If it's not Peter Mayhew in the costume, is it really Chewbacca?

Please discuss.


Please don't, move along.

674. Doc Loch, set up nicely by BillCarson, in "Fake Band Names":

Doc Loch: "The Law.

"(As in, "I fought the law and the law won.")

"I had a friend in college who was in a group called The Law. They put out an independently produced album and then were served notice that there was a group that had the rights to the name. They were facing the realization that they would have to pull all the albums, come up with a new name for the band, and repress them. Then one of the guys came up with the bright idea of just adding an "N" on all the album covers and labels. So they became The Lawn."


BillCarson: "Did they sing about mowers and shears and weedkiller? Lol

Doc Loch: "Mowers and weedkillers and shears -- oh my. No, I don't think they sang about these, but I suspect there was a fair amount of grass at the recording sessions".

675. zooba, repeating yet another of his own threads in "Mainstream Directors Tackling Big Screen Musicals":

TackTheCobbler: "Also, deja vu? I remember this exact same question being asked here a while ago…

"Indeed, it was. Here’s the thread where the question had been posed before (also started by Zooba)"


https://www.filmscoremonthly.com/board/posts.cfm?threadID=146026&forumID=1&archive=0

zooba: "It is confirmed. I evidently have truly lost my mind. And congrats to you Tack! You actually beat Thor to the punch this time. Cheers! With all the wonderful responses from that old (2021) thread, we can surely now close down this one. For those who are new to it, please feel free to continue to contribute if you like. Thanks.

Zoob"

676. Yavar Moradi talking about Jerry Goldsmith, but only after plugging his podcast in "Under a Minute Cues":

"I'm sensing a theme in this thread... I think Jerry Goldsmith was better than anybody, at packing very short cues with both emotion and thematic development. I've lost track of the number of times on The Goldsmith Odyssey where we've pointed out even a 15-18 second TV cue of his, which somehow manages to brilliantly incorporate two or more thematic ideas and effectively vary/develop them. (I recall one of two unreleased-on-CD cues from his great Twilight Zone score "The Big Tall Wish", for example).) And he can produce so much emotional effect with these short cues too! From much later in his career, that choral finale cue he wrote for Mulan (again, left off the commercial CD album) just sends chills up my spine while watching the film. Such a great culmination of her theme in such a new setting/treatment near the end of the film...and it's under a minute."

679. Roger Feigelson, who knows a LOT about these things, expressing what those who paid for a Goldsmith book they're likely never to receive fear in The Jerry Goldsmith Companion thread:

"I contributed to this and like many of you, frustrated not to have gotten what I paid for. As a business person, here is my deduction. And you won't like it. As we know, this thing is not only ready to go to the printer, but a sizable amount of crowd-sourced edits incorporated. This thing can go to the printer any time. And we saw the extraordinary amount of money raised. Finding a printer should not be a problem. So why isn't it printing? From a business perspective I can only reach one conclusion -- the funds were repurposed for something else. The book could only happen if it was done through a Kickstarter, so if those funds are gone there's no way to print the book without replacing those funds. And if funds could only happen by doing a Kickstarter in the first place, how would they be replaced without doing another Kickstarter? I don't have an answer, but I deduce that that is the true hold up. Which means I am resolved to not get this book unless another funding source is found".

680. Ibelin, inadvertently providing a "life and how to live it" guidebook in just a few sentences in "Are You Guys Rich?":

"I know someone who was funding his entire lifestyle with plasma donations for a while. He was donating his plasma every two weeks or so and made several thousand dollars a year. He was living an extremely frugal lifestyle and the donations barely covered his living expenses. He didn’t have a job."

683.
BK aka hainesaway, displaying almost EVERTON FC supporter-like Bitterness (and mangling English) towards 'Goldsmith Til I Die' Yavar in the Intrada CHAIRMAN Kick-Starter thread.

By: haineshisway (Member)

At exactly the three day (72 hours) mark now, $57,125 from 675 backers. 78.25% funded.

$15,875 to raise in the last three days seems completely doable, IMO. Multiple past campaigns have raised more than that amount in the last three days.

Back the campaign here for only $20 for the base tier (hi res audio download w/ PDF notes, or CD edition with free US shipping), a substantial savings off of the eventual retail price!

"Noooo, you're not a cheerleader for Intrada in a way that you aren't for anyone else. smile Are you part of the team now, because you keep using the word "we."
