"He'll be back soon, reminding us how Earnest, Hemmingway was, how Great, Gatsby is and how many Woody's, Allen got for underage children!!" Why, from THIS very thread, no less. Even Tall Guy, that CannySir of Comedy, gave it the thumbs up! Can't remember the scribe. Work of genius though.    Posted:   Sep 26, 2020 - 11:54 AM     By:   Jim Phelps   (Member) 448. The Mutant and Nedmerrill in "Can You Tolerate Dialogue Excerpts in Soundtracks": The Mutant: "No. No I cannot. If dialogue excerpts were a person I would strangle them with my bare hands and then gouge their eyes out with my thumbs." nedmerrill: Beautiful words! Nice to find a passionate soundtrack enthusiast." https://filmscoremonthly.com/board/posts.cfm?threadID=141665&forumID=1&archive=0    Posted:   Sep 27, 2020 - 8:29 AM     By:   Solium   (Member) 449: ZardozSpeaks speaking harsh truth to OnyaBirri in the “Can You Tolerate Dialogue Excerpts In Soundtracks?” OnyaBirri : So did you guys also hate the recitations on the Dark Shadows soundtrack? ZardozSpeaks: Most of us don't have that, Onya. That is pre-'75-Spielberg. https://www.filmscoremonthly.com/board/posts.cfm?pageID=2&forumID=1&threadID=141665&archive=0    Posted:   Oct 10, 2020 - 7:40 AM     By:   Jim Phelps   (Member) 450. Adam B.'s 32-years-late attempt to improve Midnight Run's box-office take in "Masters of the Air, Spider-Man, Star Trek": "Bad language is the only reason Midnight Run is R rated. Why not tone down the cursing and get a PG-13? Won't the film pull in more money at the box office? It's a terrific film but I'll never understand why they feel it's necessary." https://filmscoremonthly.com/board/posts.cfm?threadID=141776&forumID=7&archive=0&pageID=1&r=912#0    Posted:   Oct 10, 2020 - 7:43 AM     By:   Jim Phelps   (Member) 451. Three different FSMers coming to a consensus about an FSMer's appearance in "What You THINK We Look Like": Just because he draws picherz so well, I always thought Solium had total hippie-hair.

Haineshisway in "Rosemary's Baby - La La Land": "I was one of the first he told he was doing the sequel. The publishers came to him and he decided to do it because he was always uneasy with the brilliant ending he wrote to the original book. I think he felt he needed to atone for letting the devil live and probably flourish. I don't know if he meant it as satire, and it was generally not liked - he sent me a copy the minute he got them and I read it in one sitting and I have to say, I enjoyed it just because I really like his writing. I was on to the ending instantly, the minute he had one of the characters watching The Woman in the Window - I just thought, why would he mention such a movie arbitrarily. He got amusingly annoyed with me because I actually knew that film (he felt most wouldn't know it or wouldn't think about it), and then he really amusingly got annoyed with me when I guessed roast mules within an hour. And I was not helped by the Internet or cheating - I just was going crazy trying to figure it out and couldn't and then I just closed my eyes and let the letters form themselves and it just came to me and I called him immediately. He laughed and then hung up on me. It was really funny. Two minutes later he called back and said, "If you're such a smart Jew who is Alisa Rosenbaum?" Then he hung up again. I called him back and said, "Too easy - Ayn Rand." Then we just laughed and laughed. He was really happy to hear I enjoyed it, and I think it hurt him a little that the reception to the book wasn't good." https://filmscoremonthly.com/board/posts.cfm?threadID=88892&forumID=1&archive=0&pageID=1&r=262#0    Posted:   Oct 11, 2020 - 6:41 PM     By:   OnyaBirri   (Member) 452.

Usually it ends up with Watto sh@gging the leading lady or director's mistress AND getting drunk with the lead actors!! We often 'laugh and laugh' about that (up-stare/smile/reminisce). Is BeeKay on any dollar bills over there?    Posted:   Oct 12, 2020 - 3:58 AM     By:   Jim Phelps   (Member) Do you think that the underscore to this incident was as moving as the music that George Duning wrote for him in "The Partridge Family?" I'll let you decide that for yourself: 453. Haineshisway in "New Kritzerland: The World of Suzie Wong! Complete": "Something I really didn't appreciate way back in 1971 was that Mr. Duning's music beautifully underscored ME in at least two of my several episodes of The Partridge Family. Wish I'd met him. His Star Trek scores are my favorites of all the Trek music." https://filmscoremonthly.com/board/posts.cfm?forumID=1&pageID=2&threadID=95976&archive=0    Posted:   Oct 13, 2020 - 7:30 AM     By:   Solium   (Member) 454: Intrada reminding us Woke culture started in the 90’s.

Maid Marian (Mary Elizabeth Mastrantonio) is a feisty, independent female who initially disdains Robin and manages to be an empowered woman until the very end, when she becomes a traditional damsel-in-distress. https://www.filmscoremonthly.com/board/posts.cfm?pageID=1&forumID=1&threadID=141611&archive=0    Posted:   Oct 13, 2020 - 11:58 AM     By:   Jim Phelps   (Member) Completely OT: solium, you really should do that thread where you claim that people listening to a few select old things and not bothering with new music is a sign of dementia.    Posted:   Oct 13, 2020 - 5:08 PM     By:   Solium   (Member) Completely OT: solium, you really should do that thread where you claim that people listening to a few select old things and not bothering with new music is a sign of dementia. Well to clarify its not just a disinterest in anything new, but a disinterest in old favorites too. I think anyone over 50 has experienced this in their own lives.    Posted:   Oct 13, 2020 - 5:58 PM     By:   Jim Phelps   (Member) Well to clarify its not just a disinterest in anything new, but a disinterest in old favorites too.

Oh, the sweet irony.    Posted:   Oct 21, 2020 - 4:50 AM     By:   Jim Phelps   (Member) 455. Tango Urilla, playing the Vargas-from-Thunderball card in "Science: Brits Who Don't Like Tea": "I'm British and drink neither tea nor coffee. I've never had a pint of beer and I don't like alcohol." "Mr. Litefoot, does not drink tea, does not drink coffee, never drinks beer, does not like alcohol.

Turner in "Jerry Goldsmith's The Last Castle Intrada 2020", whose experience reminds me that yes, bad things also happen to people who aren't me. "I remember the day this score was released. Its the only copy on the shelves. It had some kinda weird security contraption on it that required a tool to remove. The young lady at the register nearly broke it in half trying to take it off. She cracked both the front and back of the jewel case. And when she did it, she paused a bit, looked at me a gave me a smirk. I'll never forget that." https://filmscoremonthly.com/board/posts.cfm?threadID=141918&forumID=1&archive=0&pageID=1&r=365#0    Posted:   Nov 11, 2020 - 11:18 AM     By:   Jim Phelps   (Member) 457. dragon53’s Charles Durning trivia in “Star Wars, Mission Impossible, Veteran’s Day”: ”TRIVIA---Veterans Day trivia. Charles Durning was nominated for two Academy Awards and appeared in movies including THE STING, THE BEST LITTLE WHOREHOUSE in TEXAS and TO BE OR NOT TO BE. In World War II, Durning served with the 1st Infantry Division, "The Big Red One", that landed in the first wave on Omaha Beach during D-Day. Durning said, “I bent down to tie my shoe – and the guys in front of me and behind me were killed instantly in a Nazi machine gun ambush. I was the only one to survive. In order to get out alive, I had to kill seven German gunners." “In the Battle of the Bulge, a German soldier with a bayonet stabbed Durning eight times. Durning killed the German with a rock. After being captured, Durning survived a massacre of other POWs and later helped identify his dead comrades. For his valor in combat, Durning received the Silver Star, Bronze Star, three Purple Hearts and the French National Order of the Legion of Honor. “Durning said about his combat experiences,“For years afterward, I wondered why my life was spared while they died. I have empathy for any man who fights a war and survives...That’s why I never starred in any war films. I have lived through the tragedy and heartache – I don’t need to pretend on-camera or act like a hero. “A source close to Durning said, “Charles was a very proud soldier. But he said he would rather be remembered for entertaining people than for the wartime horrors he experienced.” https://filmscoremonthly.com/board/posts.cfm?threadID=142084&forumID=7&archive=0    Posted:   Nov 11, 2020 - 12:15 PM     By:   Bill Carson, Earl of Poncey   (Member) Good, worthy choice jim.    Posted:   Nov 12, 2020 - 5:10 AM     By:   jackfu   (Member) Good, worthy choice jim. Absolutely, I second that! Thanks Bill, Jim and especially Dragon! I'm always amazed at how often it turns out that the real-life heroes aren't necessarily the gung-ho types, but the regular folks. And it seems so many of them even downplay their heroism. My favorite role Durning played was "Friscoe" in Sharky's Machine. When "Sharky" snipes about always wondering where it all went when the upstairs toilets were flushed, his classic reply later on was to the effect: "You're right about it being a cesspool, Sharky, and every time somebody makes waves, I get a mouthful!" - we can probably relate to that at one time or another in real life.     Non-Film Score Discussion: Favorite FSM Posts Over the Years    << < 77 78 79 80 81  > >>  Go to page:  1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 32 33 34 35 36 37 38 39 40 41 42 43 44 45 46 47 48 49 50 51 52 53 54 55 56 57 58 59 60 61 62 63 64 65 66 67 68 69 70 71 72 73 74 75 76 77 78 79 80 81 82 83 84   First Post    General Discussion • Trading Post • Non-Film Score Discussion  Profile • Preferences • Community Rules • Help/Contact • Search Board You must log in or register to post.   Go to page:  1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 32 33 34 35 36 37 38 39 40 41 42 43 44 45 46 47 48 49 50 51 52 53 54 55 56 57 58 59 60 61 62 63 64 65 66 67 68 69 70 71 72 73 74 75 76 77 78 79 80 81 82 83 84
