162) OneBuckFilms in "Are Film Score Fans a Scary Bunch?":
"From what I've seen, as film score fans, I've found us generally to be nice people.
However, we can be extremely opinionated, stabbourn, nitpicky and sometimes we get into "holy wars" about various indsutry issues or how scores should be presented.
We are great in person, but can be scary on occasion online.
We are extremely picky about things, but this comes from our passion for the music.
We are opinionated, but that comes again, from our passion for the music.
I'm also a Star Trek fan, and have found the same thing in Star Trek fandom.
For those who share our passion for the music, this passion, and the heated arguments are embraced and understood.
For outsiders: the context would not be understood. We're probably pretty scary as a group."

INTRADA announces ESCAPE FROM ALCATRAZ
Phelps (inadvertently?) reveals some very personal information about his background:
"I LOVE this stark, spare Jerry score. In fact, it evokes childhood. That is, if your childhood was spent chipping away from the air vent grate in your bedroom to escape the sound of your parents arguing in the next room. Whoa, too much personal info..."

Laurent is great and an utterly top bloke.
I know exactly what he means - his taste is more for french and italian composers like morricone and cosma, rather than, speaking generally, the more prominent action-led pulsing american scores of recent years. Being european - until next year - iam the same.

166) Mr. Marshall and Graham Watt in "Composer You Love in One Film Genre But Not Other":
Mr. Marshall: "Read the thread title .....
"Composer you love in ONE Film Genre..."
Graham Watt: "Do not speak to ME using the imperative, Mr Marshmallow. I admit I committed a small error in my understanding of the feat, but YOU, in your scolding clarification, have hurt my feelings. And you don't like anything by the composers you mention outside those somewhat restricted limits?"
Graham's use of infantile wordplay is so obvious, yet brilliant in its simplicity. I wish I'd called Marshall "Mr. Marshmallow." In fact, I would have done so years ago, but I tend to be "an American person, therefore I don't think things like most collectors think them."

What Mr. Wattage fails to note is that he responded to not one, but two of my posts. He made the same mistake TWICE!

Yes it is, thats true. But if i spelt it right, what ammo would you have to pull me up.
Kids eat them here but i dont.
Coffee shops even put them on top of poncey hot chocolate now.

169) BillCarson, also in the Don Trunick thread:
"Like a few people on here, im still reeling from this.
I remember the good old days - not that long ago, maybe ten years - where he used to post fairly regularly on the morricone board - gary and henry and Addie too - it wasnt the busiest board but a lot of knowledgable posters. And in morricones words above, Msv and their famous musicography was such a passion for Don and he was like an honourary member.
Like you guys said, Dons generosity with both time, information and cd favours was legendary. And as tom pointed out, he rarely if ever asked for anything in return. Mind you, he had everything!!! I know when i lost my job a few years ago, a few days later some compilation cds arrived with stuff i didnt have that he had painstakingly selected and done for me. A kind, kind man. A lesson for all of us, Even when someone was a bit of an a**hole, he summed it up with "we dont have much in common". That was about the most brutal he got!
I did an interview with him a few years ago an extract of which was published in mftm. Some of you may have read it but i will see if i can dig it out - seems appropriate to put it here to add to what people have said.
No second deaths, as they say - keep their memory alive!! !"

Ah yes. I often think of Don still. His kindness and helpfulness made a lasting impression on me. Im glad Henry scanned and posted that interview so Don's words are on record there for everyone.

167) filmusicnow in "RIP Steve Jobs":
"I will shut off my Power Mac in mourning for one day. R.I.P. Mr. Jobs. I've owned five Macs (including the aforementioned Power Mac) and two iPods over the span of nearly 23 years, and I got into Macs because they were user friendly. The loss of Steve Jobs at Apple is kind of like when Walt Disney died. He certainly knew how to "make it better than it already was".

Good but not as good as my "Resolved: Steve Jobs is the Devil"
