243. Thor in 2004, expressing the need for purchasing season-specific clothing in "Speaking of Clothes":
"What's even more amazing is that I bought a new leather jacket yesterday as well! What a coincidence! There was this particular one at "Carlings" that I've been wanting for a long, long time, and yesterday I finally decided to buy it - as spring is approaching and I didn't really have any cool spring jackets in my wardrobe (in fact, I didn't have any spring jackets at all)."
244. Zap "Street Fighting Man" Brannigan in "Tragedy at Universal: some UMG master may be lost":
"Also, do we really think Universal would make a public announcement if they'd lost Oliver Nelson's SIX MILLION DOLLAR MAN scores? There'd be rioting in the streets. Or they just wouldn't tell us for some other reason."
This one just made me chuckle my little socks off, from INTRADA/THE CONVERSATION thread on t'other side.

"Ah yes, this is just the sort of introspective film music conversation I come here for. The joie de vivre, the unabashed enthusiasm, the precise (yet never cold) appreciation of a score's technical merits...it's all there, and in a mere 7 words"
246. The secular tag team of Jehannum and solium taking down that God person in "Notre-Dame in Paris on Fire"; with the kind set-up assistance of TacktheCobbler:
TacktheCobbler: "Looking at pictures of the aftermath of the fire with my mother and sister, it’s equally miraculous that the altar was virtually unscathed (not even the candles were melted). They’re not particularly religious, but they were given the impression that divine intervention was involved as far as the altar was concerned."
Jehannum: "He must be a very selective firefighter.
solium: "That's some selective divine intervention too."
248. The Jehannum Trifecta comes to a glorious finish in "Space 1999- Total BS!":
"I was a little kid when I saw this programme. Don't you think that's the best thing to be when you watch a series like this? Instead of a jaded, pedantic, semi-intellectual beta nerd, I mean."
LOL, I missed that response. I wasn't saying William Shatner to clarify the actor, Gene Siskel said "Kirk, William Shatner...". I wrote it that way because I thought it was redundant too.
252. The insane detail in which Spinmeister and Oldsmith anal-yze the soul-killing blandness that was and always will be SPACE:1999 in the aptly-named "Space:1999- Total BS!" This is what this show's *fans* think about it!
Spinmeister: "Bain's lazy Susan into the camera doesn't come out of nowhere. It's in direct response to Landau's head swivel. It's all about building momentum to a visual and audio crescendo.
"Imagine the sequence instead with a static forward shot of Landau, then a static forward shot of Bain, and then the static title card with the music being the only element leading the call to action and adventure.
It would be dull as can be."
Oldsmith: "Yeah, Landau looks from slightly off screen to Bain. She looks from him out toward us. The difference is, he moves his head while she swivels her body."
Terrifying. And complete and utter madness. It's impossible to imagine the fans of, say, "L.A. Law" anal-yzing that series to this extent.
