ScoreKeeper Lauds FSM's New 14 Disc Box Set of Ron Jones' Music From STAR TREK: THE NEXT GENERATION!!

Published at:  Aug 31, 2010 7:38:47 PM CDT


Greetings! ScoreKeeper here toasting the soundtrack savants over at Film Score Monthly for their latest and greatest gluttonous collection of fabulous film music...or in this case, television music.

Scores...The final frontier. If you have even the slightest interest in film or television scores then you are certainly aware of the Brobdingnagian influx of music that is being unleashed on a near daily basis. All the major labels continue their battle for our hard-earned dollars and we're left reaping the rewards. There are so many highly-revered titles coming out, my due diligence struggles to keep up with them all.

The next bombshell is the fifth box set release by Film Score Monthly. I'm a huge fan of their box sets and have the previous four in my personal collection (FSM Box-001 "Elmer Bernstein's Film Music Collection," FSM Box-002 "Superman: The Music," FSM Box-003 "MGM Soundtrack Treasury," FSM Box-004 "Miklós Rózsa Treasury"). Today, FSM announced that they are releasing an unprecedented 14 disc box set including the complete scores for forty, that's right...forty episodes of STAR TREK: THE NEXT GENERATION (1987-1999) all composed by Ron Jones!













This limited edition box set (5000 copies) features sixteen hours of complete scores from forty episodes aired during the first four seasons of STAR TREK: THE NEXT GENERATION including bonus tracks from Jones' "The Best of Both Worlds" and two computer games, "Starfleet Academy" (1997) and "Starfleet Command (1999). The audio samples sound exquisite as is usually the case with Film Score Monthly releases.

This is truly a labor of love and a life-long wish fulfilled for album producer and Film Score Monthly founder Lukas Kendall.

The online liner notes are available HERE.

For more information including a list of episodes contained on the disc, audio samples from selected tracks, and pre-ordering information visit HERE.

Autographed copies were available to the first 100 buyers but those have quickly been snatched up. If you would still like to get an autographed copy of the set for yourself, Ron Jones will be at Dark Delicacies on September 19th at 2:00PM to signs copies of this new box set. Pre-orders for autographed copoies are also being taken for those living outside of the Los Angeles area. Check out the web site for Dark Delicacies for more information.

    Guys, they FIRED Jones for NOT making white noise!

    by drath

    You idiots dismissing Jones because Trek music all sounds alike have no idea what you're doing. He was the guy fighting to have more adventurous music in Star Trek. He scored the Borg two parter, possibly the only episodes people remember the music from (and until now one of the only Soundtrack albums sold for Next Generation). What music was worth remembering from ST:TNG was made by him. Maybe you lot remember him better for scoring Ducktales, but I guarantee you that it's big a news (and a big FUCK YOU to Rick Berman) that he's getting this treatment.

    by daggor

    His music was full of synth flutes and windchimes and crap. The more generic music in the later, better episodes of ST:TNG was more appropriate, and is more iconic.

    Drath, You Are-

    by ironhorse

    right on the money. ST:TNG lost some great talent over the years that negatively impacted the music, visual effects and later cinematography. Ron Jones' ST:TNG music was fun, energetic and creative. After season four his absence was clearly heard for the worse. Compare his Best of Both Worlds soundtrack to Dennis McCarthy's ST:DS9 series opener Wolf 359 music. No comparison. Imagine if Jones would have been the composer instead? Not knocking McCarthy so much as I am Rick Berman. Still, after Jones was gone series Trek music became extremely constipated.

    Glad to see his contribution is finally being acknowledged. Suck it, Berman.

    I thought it was just creepy dead silence over those weird tan colored sets, seen through that shitty vhs picture quality, except for those little musical bits that play real for two seconds to signal it's about to cut to commercial. This show is just damn unsettling to watch for me for some reason.

    ... the opening theme music that Jerry Goldsmith composed for STAR TREK: THE MOTION PICTURE as the theme and leitmotif for the TV show STAR TREK: THE NEXT GENERATION. Really good idea. Goldsmith was always very good for Star trek, a franchise that was very close to his heart. He had even been inicially chosen to compose for the TOS, but he had a busy schedule and couldn't accept the job, and his friend and collaborator Alexander Courage got the gig instead.

    Batman TAS Score

    by kentucky colonel

    La La Land Records have (had?) a great two CD set of music from Batman TAS, and there is the soundtrack to Mask of the Phantasam, too. Both reside on my CD shelf and in my Zune. Recommended!

    Some facts

    by lenonn

    1. The reason Sulu is on the final disc is that disc holds the soundtracks for two computer games that Jones scored: Starfleet Academy and Starfleet Command.

    2. Warners is evidently the one holding up a volume two of Batman The Animated Series music.

    3. An X-Files four disc set is being worked on as we speak - all music from throughout the run of the show - current estimates place it's release at later this fall/early this winter.

    TNG was shot on film,

    by return_of_fett

    It was just EDITED on video tape. Also the effects were rendered at 480i. Same with Voyager and DS9. I'm assuming the effects could be rendered at 1080p, but I don't know that for sure. They may have to be redone as they were in TOS, which would be fine with me.Apparently there was a test of 2 episodes recreated in this way to see how much it would cost, but I don't know what the verdict was.I am Quite sure Paramount will eventually do this for all 3 shows edited on tape, but it may be a couple of more years to get better penetration of Blu-ray in homes. They're not going to pass up that cash cow even if it costs them up front. It's not just about Blu-ray, they need them for rebroadcast in HD as well.

    The animated series (essentially season 4 of TOS), followed by Enterprise. Again, I'm totally fine with this. Althoguh I like TNG, it just rings a little hollow to me compared to some of the other shows. and I really hate Wesley Crusher. I had pretty much given up on Voyager midway through season 2 though.

    TNG

    by rogueleader66

    Well, don't get me started on that one. It had some good episodes, but for me, overall, it was.....meh at best. I absolutely HATED Wesley Crusher, since when does Roddenberry need to pander to kids? If he absolutely had to do that, at least make it an APPEALING character. Wesley was not appealing in any way. Arrogant whiny little fuck. Sure he was smart, but so fucking what.Anyways, I gotta a bit off there. I feel that over the course of...what was it...7 seasons? They should have had many more top quality stories and for me they were just average at best, with the occasional stand out. Frakes is another one, he is a terrible actor. His character was also lame. Passed up promotion after promotion, holding out for the Enterprise. Lame. He ends the show 7 years later in the exact same place he started.I could go on and on, but I can't lol. Suffice to say, TNG in the end is just a big disappointment for me. Could have been great, but winds up being just ok.

    Roger Ebert's Great Movies essay on APOCALYPSE NOW

    by colonelfatheart

    Francis Ford Coppola's film "Apocalypse Now" was inspired by Heart of Darkness, a novel by Joseph Conrad about a European named Kurtz who penetrated to the farthest reaches of the Congo and established himself like a god. A boat sets out to find him, and on the journey the narrator gradually loses confidence in orderly civilization; he is oppressed by the great weight of the jungle all around him, a pitiless Darwinian testing ground in which each living thing tries every day not to be eaten.
    What is found at the end of the journey is not Kurtz so much as what Kurtz found: that all of our days and ways are a fragile structure perched uneasily atop the hungry jaws of nature that will thoughtlessly devour us. A happy life is a daily reprieve from this knowledge.A week ago I was in Calcutta, where I saw mile upon square mile of squatter camps in which hundreds of thousands live generation after generation in leaky huts of plastic, cardboard and scrap metal, in poverty so absolute it is impossible to see any hope of escape. I do not mean to equate the misery of those hopeless people with a movie; that would be indecent. But I was deeply shaken by what I saw, and realized how precious and precarious is a happy life. And in such a mood I watched "Apocalypse Now" and came to the scene where Col. Kurtz (Marlon Brando) tells Capt. Willard (Martin Sheen) about "the horror."
    Kurtz is a decorated hero, one of the best soldiers in the Army, who has created a jungle sanctuary upriver inside enemy territory, and rules Montagnard tribesmen as his private army. He tells Willard about a day when his Special Forces men inoculated the children of a village against polio: "This old man came running after us and he was crying, he couldn't see. We went back there, and they had come and hacked off every inoculated arm. There they were in a pile, a pile of little arms. . . ."What Kurtz learned is that the Viet Cong were willing to go to greater lengths to win: "Then I realized they were stronger than we. They have the strength, the strength to do that. If I had 10 divisions of those men, then our troubles here would be over very quickly. You have to have men who are moral and at the same time who are able to utilize their primordial instincts to kill without feeling, without passion, without judgment." This is the "horror" that Kurtz has found, and it threatens to envelop Willard, too.
    The whole movie is a journey toward Willard's understanding of how Kurtz, one of the Army's best soldiers, penetrated the reality of war to such a depth that he could not look any longer without madness and despair.
    The film has one of the most haunting endings in cinema, a poetic evocation of what Kurtz has discovered, and what we hope not to discover for ourselves. The river journey creates enormous anticipation about Kurtz, and Brando fulfills it. When the film was released in 1979, his casting was criticized and his enormous paycheck of $1 million was much discussed, but it's clear he was the correct choice, not only because of his stature as an icon, but because of his voice, which enters the film from darkness or half-light, repeating the words of T.S. Eliot's despairing "The Hollow Men." That voice sets the final tone of the film.
    Another crucial element in the ending is the photojournalist (Dennis Hopper) who has somehow found Kurtz's camp and stayed there, stoned, as a witness. He blathers to Willard that Kurtz is "a poet-warrior in the classic sense" and "we're all his children." In the photographer's spaced-out ravings we hear disconnected snatches of the poetry he must have heard Kurtz reciting: If you can keep your head when all about you . . . I should have been a pair of ragged claws, scuttling across the floor of a silent sea. . . ." The photographer is the guide, the clown, the fool, providing the balance between Willard and Kurtz.
    Why has "Apocalypse Now" been so long bedeviled by rumors that Coppola was not happy with this ending? At the film's premiere at Cannes, I saw the confusion begin. Coppola originally intended to show the movie as a 70mm roadshow with no credits (they would be printed in a booklet). But the 35mm release would need end titles. After he was finished filming on the huge set of the Kurtz compound, Coppola was required by the Philippine government to destroy it, and he photographed it being blown up. He decided to use this footage over his closing 35mm credits, even though (this is crucial) he did not intend the destruction of the compound as an alternative "ending" to the film. Alas, confusion about the endings spread from Cannes into movie folklore, and most people thought that by "ending" he meant all of the material involving Kurtz. In the 20th anniversary DVD release, Coppola patiently explains all of this once again.
    In any event, seen again now at a distance of 20 years, "Apocalypse Now" is more clearly than ever one of the key films of the century. Most films are lucky to contain a single great sequence. "Apocalypse Now" strings together one after another, with the river journey as the connecting link. The best is the helicopter attack on a Vietnam village, led by Col. Kilgore (Robert Duvall), whose choppers use loudspeakers at top volume to play Wagner's "Ride of the Valkyries" as they swoop down on a yard full of schoolchildren. Duvall won an Oscar nomination for his performance and its unforgettable line, "I love the smell of napalm in the morning." His emptiness is frightening: A surfing fanatic, he agrees to the attack only to liberate a beach said to offer great waves ("Charlie don't surf").
    There is also the sequence where the patrol boat stops a small fishing boat with a family on board. A little girl makes a sudden dash, and the jumpy machine-gunner (a young Laurence Fishburne) opens fire, wiping out the entire family. It turns out the girl was running for her puppy. The mother is not quite dead. The boat chief (Albert Hall) wants to take her for medical treatment. Willard puts a bullet into her; nothing can delay his mission. He and "Chief" are the only two seasoned military men on the boat, trying to do things by the book; later, in a scene with peculiar power, the chief is astonished to be killed by a spear.
    For me the most remarkable visuals in the film occur when Chef (Fredric Forrest), one of Willard's crew members, insists on venturing into the forest in search of mangos. Willard can't stop him, so he joins him. The great cinematographer Vittorio Storaro shows them as little human specks at the foot of towering trees, and this is a Joseph Conrad moment, showing how nature dwarfs us.
    The rock 'n' roll soundtrack opens and closes with "The End" by the Doors, and includes disc jockeys on transistor radios ("Good morning, Vietnam!"). The music underlines surrealistic moments, as when Lance (Sam Bottoms), one of Willard's crew, water-skis behind the boat. It also shows how the soldiers try to use the music of home, and booze and drugs, to ease their loneliness and apprehension.
    Other important films such as "Platoon," "The Deer Hunter," "Full Metal Jacket" and "Casualties of War" take their own approaches to Vietnam. Once at the Hawaii Film Festival I saw five North Vietnamese films about the war. (They never mentioned "America," only "the enemy," and one director told me, "It is all the same--we have been invaded by China, France, the U.S. . . .") But "Apocalypse Now" is the best Vietnam film, one of the greatest of all films, because it pushes beyond the others, into the dark places of the soul. It is not about war so much as about how war reveals truths we would be happy never to discover.
    In a way I cannot quite explain, my thoughts since Calcutta prepared me to understand the horror that Kurtz found. If we are lucky, we spend our lives in a fool's paradise, never knowing how close we skirt the abyss. What drives Kurtz mad is his discovery of this.
    Note: In my original review of "Apocalypse Now" I quoted the French director Francois Truffaut: "I demand that a film express either the joy of making cinema or the agony of making cinema. I am not at all interested in anything in between." Coppola's joy and agony are revealed in "Hearts of Darkness," a 1991 documentary by Fax Bahr and George Hickenlooper about the making of "Apocalypse Now," with personal footage and journal entries by Coppola's wife, Eleanor, who made secret recordings of Coppola expressing his doubts and discouragement as the project threatened to swamp him. http://tinyurl.com/33vyt5e

    Desson Howe's review of THE NIGHTMARE BEFORE CHRISTMAS

    by colonelfatheart

    If Christmas is in jeopardy, if Santa Claus is being forcibly prevented from his annual duties, you can be sure the kids will pay attention. And since Tim Burton's animated fantasy, "The Nightmare Before Christmas," is such a state-of-the-art wonder show, you can be sure the adults will be engaged too.
    This brilliant combination of stop-motion animation, three-dimensional sets and superbly imaginative graphics, brings animation to new peaks. Burton, whose inventive, delightfully haunted mind put so much zest into "Pee-wee's Big Adventure," "Beetlejuice," "Batman" and "Edward Scissorhands," has done it again.
    Here's the story: Jack Skellington, Halloweentown's Pumpkin King, is bored with his annual duties -- arranging the usual scares and surprises for Halloween. When he chances upon Christmastown, a far cry from his own world, Jack decides he can run this tinselly convention himself. After boning up on things Christmas (he even tries to study the holiday in algebraic terms), Jack dons a white beard and red coat, harnesses a team of ghostly reindeer and heads for the rooftops of the world. While Jack does the yuletide rounds, his pumpkin townsfolk hold the real (and thoroughly disconsolate) Santa prisoner.
    Concerned parents can be assured that, ultimately, things will be put right. Jack will realize who really ought to be stuffing himself down these chimneys, and that you're supposed to give presents that charm -- not petrify -- the children.

    Speaking of scaring kids, it's hard to assess how the very young will receive this. To this grown-up reviewer, Jack and his Halloweentown collection of strange friends are oddly charming, from the (literally) two-faced mayor to the trick or treat trio called Lock, Shock and Barrel. And when he delivers icky presents to children (such as a severed head, or a striped snake that swallows Christmas trees), Jack (with whom the viewer identifies) is genuinely unaware of his transgressions. If Jack's a bad skeleton, he's an innocently bad skeleton.
    The best thing about "Nightmare," obviously, is its visual world and -- behind that -- 10 great songs composed by Danny Elfman (who collaborated with Burton for "Batman" and also wrote the theme tune for "The Simpsons"). Burton, a graduate of the Disney factory (he worked on "The Black Cauldron," among many films, and made a memorable short called "Frankenweenie"), fills the movie with unforgettable compositions: Jack's poetic posings against the moon, for one thing, are aesthetically stunning.
    Burton also creates Grimmly personable characters. Jack is a mischievous, skeletal Beau Brummell in his pin-striped, spider-webbed suit. His faithful dog Zero is actually the ghost of a dog with a glowing, jack-o'-lantern nose. Jack's love interest, Sally, is a rag doll who can disengage her body parts at will by picking the thread that holds her together.
    With Burton, there's a sense of a bad-boy genius at work, as if Oscar Wilde had been raised on E.T.A Hoffmann, the Brothers Grimm and the expressionistic German films of the prewar period such as "The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari." He never raises his work above the heads of children -- which is true of all his work. He pulls adult minds down to the surreal darkness of childish imagination -- where the real nightmares are. But through Burton's eyes, these dark dreamscapes aren't bad places at all. In fact, they're quite wonderful. http://tinyurl.com/2agw2ss

    Variety review of ESCAPE FROM THE PLANET OF THE APES

    by colonelfatheart

    Escape from the Planet of the Apes is an excellent film, almost as good as the original Planet of the Apes. Arthur Jacobs' production is marked by an outstanding script, using some of the original Pierre Boulle novel characters; excellent direction by Don Taylor; and superior performances from a cast headed by encoring Roddy McDowall and Kim Hunter.
    In the previous film one will recall that the world seemed to be ending in nuclear holocaust. Something that trivial never stopped a good writer, so this film opens with Hunter, McDowall and Sal Mineo arriving on earth in a space vehicle.
    After about half of the film's literate, suspenseful, delightful and thought-provoking 97 minutes, the story emphasis segues from broad comedic antics to a rather horrifying dilemma. Eric Braeden, scientific advisor to US President William Windom, suggests that, if indeed in our future apes would subdue humans, why not remove that distant threat by aborting the life of the child of McDowall and Hunter?http://tinyurl.com/2dxesgd

    Even after Wesley had left, the show just never did it for me. The writing, IMO was just too inconsistent and so many times it felt like 50 minutes of buildup to a quick resolution. I hated that.To each his own, if you liked it Sixies, that's cool, I know many people enjoyed the series. Don't get me wrong, I am in no way saying the show was 7 seasons of lame, not at all. Every season had some good episodes, but for me, the good ones were outweighed by the bad ones. Overall TNG was a mediocre, sometimes wonderful but mostly disappointing sci-fi show.

    Man, I love APOCALYPSE NOW. Damn good article. I'm especially glad that Ebert brought up one of my favorite scenes --specifically, when Clean takes out the villagers on the sampan as a panicking woman makes a quick dash towards a suspicious barrel followed by the heart-rending moment when Chef discovers to his horror that the basket contained only a puppy. After Willard shoots the injured woman, in one of the most memorable freakouts of many freakouts, Chef sobs, "Fuck you! Fuck you! Fuck them!" I recall being astonished at Sheen's superb performance the first time I saw the film only to be utterly BLOWN AWAY by Brando's incomparable performance--which made Sheen's look run of the mill in comparison.This is quite simply one of the best movies ever made. However, APOCALYPSE NOW REDUX was--imo--a terrible mistake. Like the Director's Cut of AMADEUS, the longer version actually manages to ruin a classic film with bloated, clumsily paced scenes best left on the cutting room floor.

    by rogueleader66

    Having been a D & D player for a long time, it portrayed Dragons as I knew them from the game....as intelligent creatures, capable of more than just mindless destruction, who could communicate with man and sometimes work side by side with him. Say what you want about the film, but it gave me something I wanted but had never seen in a Dragon movie before, for that, I can be forgiving of its shortcomings.

    "Liked" and "Rob Cohen" are not words you see mutually associated in any phrase i might write, unless there's a "Not" in it somewhere. I really detest that miserable hack! Fucker never made a good movie, never! And really, if i had been a D&D fan, i would hate DRAGONHEART even more.As for TNG, i think you are too harsh on it. While i'm not exactly a fan of the show, and i really know little of it other then what i saw from scatered episodes form different seasons, the thing is, the show was anchored in one of the best fictional creations in american TV history: Captain Jean-Luc Picard. Any actor inthat role would had looked good, but then they had the masterstroke to hire Patrick Stewart to the role, which in hindsight must have been one of the most genious decision in american filmed entertaiment. Picard and Steward are the core and heart of the show, and no show can be bad with such a thing form which everything revolves around. And from what i understand, the show does have some really outstanding episodes which can match in quality some of the best stuff from the original show. I don't find it hard to believe.

The man put into words some of my own thoughs about the movie, and he partially describes why i love so much that movie and why it's one of my top 3 favorite movie of all time. And what Ebert said about his quote from Francois Truffaut comenting of what he wanted from a film should ring true and to the core of the soul of any real true movie geek. Definatly, any and all movies i love they do present in them both the passion/love and/or the agony of filmmaking. Truffaut said it as it is. I call that a movie having a soul. It makes all the difference. It's what seperates true film quality from false acessements of "good" from lazy self-indulgent movie geeks with little to no standards.

    Wow, not a Cohen fan I see. So you didn't even think that Dragon The Bruce Lee Story was good? Anyways, regarding TNG...I do not deny that Stewart was awesome as Picard, nor have I ever said the show was a giant fail. They had some very good episodes that do match the quality of TOS.....SOME..(The Inner Light may be one of the best written and well done episodes in ST history). It's just that for me, it was not enough. Like I already have said, the show overall was ok, not terrible, but far from what I would call 7 seasons of quality entertainment.

    BB--The REAL One

    by le vicious fishus

    Talk about shades of gray... There are many alternate reality fictional tales, but I'm only familiar with ones that step backwards quite a way. EX MACHINA is notable in that the BIG DIFFERENCE between our world and that fictional world is *SPOILER* THE GREAT MACHINE, who(partially) prevents a comparatively very recent catastrophe. Great series (and I'm only on issue 16 or so)!

And seriously, if no one has, Moore's SWAMP THING run is the ONLY time a damn comic book has EVER creeped me out. There is some messed up, creepy stuff in there. Plus, the introduction of John Constantine, and the total (and totally awesome) reinvention of who/what Swampy actually is.

    Moore's SWAMP THING was a thing of beauty (HAW HAW). Seriously, though. Who can forget Swampy's final confrontation with a much changed Matt Cable and his valiant descent into the badlands and--ultimately--hell? This was real, graphic horror of a kind rarely seen (and, never, I think seen so magnificently pulled off in a comic format up to that point). And the "American Gothic" storyline. Brrr. So friggin' great...

    Gilliam is not just good at directing girl children. The kid in TIME BANDITS is great. Gilliam is simply very good at directing children as well as adults. And if you read the coments made by actors, all of them are in awe of gilliam. With one single exception: Lena Headey. but then again, she doesn't seem to be a praticullary smart woman, since he claimed that Zack Snyder is a better director then Gilliam after her work in 300. That woman has some serious mental problems. Yeah, too bad that she wasn't the first choice for her role in THE BROTHERS GRIMM and Gilliam acepted reluctantly because his first choice was Samantha Morton. Guess what, Morton is by far a much, much better actor then Headey. Deal with it, shallow empty headed girl! God, what an ass Lena Headey must be, and i'm not comenting on her shapely ass, but she as a person. Hardly a brainiac, that's for sure.

Only insult and injury. And not just fairly, but lots. Worst then CLASH OF THE TITANS, which is saying something. At least in CLASH, bad that is it, there's moments where nothing is happening. In the other movie, there is not a single minute where a very dumb stupid shit is happening. Asking me to have fun with such stuff is just asking too much from me. I don't need that dumb shit to get my entertaiment, there's plenty of proper good movies around for that, thank you very much.

    The original girl, who at first backed out, was able to do it in the end. Unfortunately, her backing out caused me to not invite another girl, the Laurel to her Hardy so to speak, to drive the 2 hrs into town for the other role. So I had to work fast and use a girl who works at the location I was using (she was once a tv news reporter) as the other actress. Unfortunately, she was only available for 15 minutes. But she was a pro who learned her lines fast and acted them well, so I was able to pull off the initial, important scene I needed to setup the rest of the short. I got lucky, what can I say =).

    boy that takes me back to the days as a kid you'd watch anything just because it was on in the afternoon and there were no cartoons on any channel. Never really Liked Borgnine but Silvers was/is awesome.

    Although Borg-of-Nine's awesomosity went way up for me when I saw him on that today show saying that the secret to him looking so much younger than 93 (he whispered in the host's ear knowing the mike would still pick it up) is that he masturbates every day. I think they cut to a break after that. Respect, respect.

    Vades, skimmed over your argument in the Titans back. You make some good points, although I did not see the film, but as stated before, based on all I have heard from you and others, It isn't worth my time. Besides Bland Worthington sounds like he gave the same perfromance he gave in T:S and Avatar, so If I wanna see that, I'll watch Avatar again.Caught up a little on last nights events.Ted...i was also a hard core D & D player for many years, also did the spy thing, wester, and sci-fi RP games. ALl fun, but D & D is still tops.Wow, Purple Rain, I saw that like 5 times in the theater. I really liked that movie, and the music was Prince at the top of his game. The stuff he did after that was kinda....bad, but PR was a damn good film IMO.

    Read Nick Fury:Secret Warriors #19, last ride of the howling commando's last night.

    That issue had so much better dialogue, fully developed characters, action than Stallones attempt at recapturing the glory of 80s action flicks.

    This issue also showed the brutality of combat, personal sacrifice and what a true band of brothers are. Not the fratboy buddys image Stallone went with. Along with the crappy dialogue.

    If you miss the Lee Marvin, Burt Lancaster, Steve McQueen movies of old, pick up Secret Warriors #19.

    Ok, here is a little lesson for those of you who may have missed

    by rogueleader66

    Jaws....may appear to be about hunting a killer shark, but guess what? It is a totally character driven film. The "talking" and "family stuff" is there for a specific reason. The movie is driven by the three main characters and how they deal with the situation they are in, each in a different way. They all have different motivations for hunting this shark, thus making them all the more interesting. We care about these guys. Take away the "talking" and "family" stuff and just have three guys hunting a shark? Lame to the highest degree.Ever see Deep Blue Sea? Yea well guess what, that's what happens when you don't have character development. Did anyone give a shit what happened to ANYONE in that movie? Nope, because you did not give a damn about any of them. Some movies may not need you to care about the characters, but Jaws does, because that is what the movie is about, those three guys, not the shark.Class dismissed.

    Titans was what happens after my dog eats tinnsel during the holidays. The result is glittery shit. The original is loved for it's flaws but the new one was ruined. The whole conception of the quest is tucked. Why change what worked, and what was essentially irrelevant. The plot is merely a device to deliver the action. Guy wants girl and sets off to win her favor. Done. Moving on. THE NEW ONE FUCKS THIS UP, thus creating an inforgivable shit pile no amount of fx could justify. Discussion over.

    Bag, his probalems don't have as much to do with character motiv

    by return_of_fett

    As they do with things that don't happen in the film. I don't mean character moments that have been hacked out, I mean things like "Perseus never even uses the scorpion sheild. He uses some other sheild to see Medusa's reflection".See, now that's just plain WRONG. He DOES use the scorpion sheild and in fact it IS the sheild he uses to see Medusa's reflection.MY problem with that scene is "How the fuck does a scorpion hide sheild have a reflective interior?". That would seem like a valid complaint. MY complaint happens in the film, his doesn't.That would be like me saying "I don't understand why a purple dragon swoops down out of the sky and kills the Kraken. That's just lazy writing." See what I mean? Attack the film for what it actually DID, not for what you mistakenly remember it doing.

    by macready452

    is when Brody is on the phone early in the movie and his wife and kid are talking in the background. It is such a real moment. They don't fade the secondary conversation away to focus on the "important call". It creates a REAL world feeling in the movie. The wife and kid don't just go away. They are still there, still important. THAT is why the movie is so good. It seems small but it is one of the most significant scenes in the film for me.

And, fuck, has Chop ever been busy lately!As for TITANS--never was a big fan of the original, so never really interested in the remake. The storyline was always pretty shitty imo, which is just astounding given the literary richness of Greek mythology. Start TITANS all the fuck over, I says, and let Neil Gaiman write the fucker with a completely different plot.

    Easily Gaiman's best fiction since SANDMAN.It concerns a convict named Shadow who becomes immersed in a conflict between older, mythological gods/beings and newer, technologically based gods/beings. That's all you need to know (anything else would potentially ruin it for you, Mac).NO ONE since Milton has fictionally synthesized and breathed life into so many mythological beings from so many cultures as Gaiman has between AMERICAN GODS and his SANDMAN books. Such great dialogue; such great characters; such a fucking terrific story.READ it!

    Mac, if you're like me, the fact that the protagonist is named Shadow will bother you for about 20 pages or so...but it'll pass.

    You may consider giving SANDMAN another chance. The first 7 issues or so are shaky, particularly as Gaiman tries to integrate his vision into the DC universe. But from issue 8 on, it's pretty much pitch perfect (and gets better and better imo).

    One problem I always have with comic books or graphic novels is that the artwork has to grab me first...and I'm really kind of fussy about it. SANDMAN art seems adequate...not a big hurdle, but not a huge enticement either.

    I've read Pullman's HIS DARK MATERIALS. Thoroughly enjoyed 'em too. Too bad they screwed the pooch with THE GOLDEN COMPASS. At least they got Iorek the bear right. Speaking of Gaiman, I just read ELSEWHERE that Eric Kripke (the man behind SUPERNATURAL) is trying to get SANDMAN developed as a television show. The good news is that one of his 'conditions' is that it must have Gaiman's blessing or INVOLVEMENT, or he'll drop it. Coolness. Flicka---I'll second the notion that you really gotta give SANDMAN another chance. I wasn't a huge fan of a lot of the art, but it changes from storyline to storyline, and some of it is really freakin' gorgeous later on. And damn, the writing is just so incredible that it really doesn't matter what it looks like. There's a reason it's so beloved so many years after the last book was written.

    But hey, I can't check all that because remember my tale of woe about losing all my uninterrupted runs of Sandman and other Vertigo titles from water damage?

    ☆☆RETRO-RIGHT-BRAIN CINEMA☆☆™

    by six demon bag



    ESCAPE FROM THE PLANET OF THE APES
    1971.

    Directed by Don Taylor.

    Starring Roddy McDowall, Kim Hunter, Bradford Dillman, Natalie Trundy, Eric Braeden, and Ricardo Montalban.

    The second best, by far, of THE PLANET OF THE APES series of films is now nominated as a possible Pantheon inductee at AICN. I can hear the snobbier of The Pedalbackers sneering from a safe distance. Certainly, it might seem out of place sitting next to PATHS OF GLORY or, even KING KONG, and it'd obviously seem out of place as an inductee preceding the original classic, but, make no mistake, you're gonna induct far less worthy titles over time. Odd to dismiss it out-of-hand, considering this is the era when genre pictures with any iota of "depth" are routinely acclaimed.
    How do you continue to sequelize a concept when the previous film (the truly ill-conceived
    BENEATH THE PLANET OF THE APES) ended with the destruction of the planet? Well, when you have time travel and paradoxes as a given from the beginning, you can do almost anything, but no one could've predicted what the film-makers would do, when they turned the whole kaboodle on its hairy head.
    OK, you can nit-pick this plot specific, if you want: Genius ape "Milo," played by James Dean's BFF Sal Mineo, somehow found one of the U.S. astronauts' spaceships out in The Forbidden Zone and had time to get it in working order while the gorillas were smacking down on skinless mutants. It's a throwaway explanation, and in the history of sci-fi silliness it's really no more preposterous than invading peoples' subconsciouses and building M.C. Escher architecture there. As an excuse to get "Zira" and "Cornelius," the hippie chimpanzees from the first, only briefly used in the second, back to 1970s America, it works, and the opening shot of three astronauts poking out of their escape hatch, removing their helmets to reveal furry chimp faces, was a shock nearly as bold and exciting as the first sight of gorillas on horseback in the first film.
    Blockbusteritis has brainwashed us into expecting sequels must perpetually up the ante, action and thrill-wise, but ESCAPE takes the less-used route and unexpectedly ups the ante in a whole 'nother way. Stranding apes among humans, as opposed to astronauts among apes, positions the film as a more traditional invading-alien/monster movie, but, while mixing in elements of romantic comedy and political thriller, writer Paul Dehn preserves - enhances, even - the racial-political philosophy of Rod Serling's concept. A return to the concept of misunderstood monster, as classic an idea as Frankenstein's Creation or The Wolfman, updated with a contemporary wardrobe and modern concerns. Women's equality, racial prejudice, political dishonesty, pacifism, even, ethnic cleansing. Heavy issues, deftly embraced by a film about talking apes. More skillfully handled here than even in the magnificent first chapter, which got a little preachy in its third act before recovering with a terrific ending.
    ESCAPE's an original twist on the classic immigrant tale, as well. The Other is fascinating as long as it wears our tie-dyed dresses and drinks our "grape juice plus" - as long as it assimilates. Once The Other challenges our preconceived notions of superiority, however, things get quite a bit dicier. All of this without once resorting to shouting, "Hey! Look at me! I'm an apartheid metaphor over here!" With Eric Braeden's conservative government bureaucrat as the villain, representing an entire generation's distrust of the establishment in the pre-Watergate era, the ape characters become, for the first time in the series, really, heroes for the audience. The jeopardy they're in becomes unbearable. Their ultimate fates, horrifying.
    This one is emotional heart of the whole saga. And, considering the saga in question involves actors slumming around in plastic prosthetics, its effectiveness is surprising and rewarding for those who are willing.
    ★★★★☆ ¼

    (4.25/5)

    Sixies, we're on the verge of seeing the Republican Party, a version of which that has embraced aggressive ignorance and extremism as "the mainstream," reclaiming at least the House of Representatives. The people who'll vote in the midterm elections won't care about oil rigs or wars or anything, they're concerned either about their (lack of) employment or the fact that a half-breed illegitimate black Muslin is pretending to be president of these here United States. Right now, America is so in love with its own demise, it's willing to put a more extreme, volatile and stupid edition of the party that largely created the multitude of messes we're in back in power.

    The Tea Party is actually destroying the Republican Party

    by stabby

    in the long run. The racist reactionary values that fuel the Teabaggers are representative of its demographical makeup being mostly white old heads. Young people do not care about Socialism/Communism, are not homophobic, are much more accepting of brown people and are not as cynical about the possibility of government by the people working for the people.

We sat her down together and told her effectively that the school drug programs were teaching her bullshit about weed and that most of her friends' parents, at least the ones we knew, all smoked weed...She cried a little and had a "there's no Santa" moment, then she got over it and we never had a drug problem with her after that, because she knew we would be strait with her about other drugs...

A lot of 'em were things like 3-D collages he put together & photographed, things like that. They are ART.

    by colonelfatheart

    when Brody's on an "important" phone call. It's not just that the domestic details in the background aren't really in the background, Michael is talking to Ellen about going out on the water or something, thus establishing early on that the Chief is not doing this simply out of duty, but to protect his family. What elegant storytelling.

    by macready452

    I always admired that choice with the 2 conversations. I'm sure there are plenty of examples. The other kind of similar "choice" like that is in Reservoir Dogs. The scene when Mr. White and Mr. Orange go to the bathroom to clean up, smoke and try to figure out what is going on. QT intentionally leaves the camera at the far end of the hallway. Harvey and Steve are freaking out down the hall and through a doorway and we (as the viewer) are left 20 feet away from the scene. Only after watching the movie 2 or 3 times did I find myself saying, what the fuck, I wanna BE IN THERE. It is this desire he fills the viewer with just by simply keeping his distance with the camera. It drives you crazy with anticipation and tension.

    Only bad thing right now is my sister is not speaking to me. I wrote her a pretty scathing email a few days ago after she, once again, tried to tell me how to behave on Facebook. First off, she is younger than me, second off, I said nothing wrong, and third, she has done this one too many times.So I wrote her an email telling her I was pissed off and instead of acting like my mother, be supportive and back me up instead of always telling me what NOT to do. I invited her to a little birthday thing for me for next weekend, and all she said was she couldn't make it. It may sound odd, but I could tell just by the tone of her email that she is pissed at me. Too bad.Anyways, enough of that nonsense, it's time to go!!!!! I'll be back sometime later pebrews.Peace and chicken grease/

    If Palin was Elected

    by le vicious fishus

    I'd organize large "Pee Parties" in which members would urinate and defecate and vomit upon Palin effigies. And in 2014 and 2016, Democrats would win again in a landslide, thanks to the Pee party efforts.Seriously, it's hard for me to believe that the majority of this country's population can seriously consider a party who are motivated and (increasingly being led by) tea baggin' nut jobs who scream "communist" and "socialist" without a clue as to what either word means.We Americans are fickle as hell as a collective (and we have a VEEERY short political memory).

    by tedkordlives

    I guess because it's so universally lauded, my kneejerk reaction was to dislike it. Honestly, I've never read any of it, and it's here on the shelves for me to read for free. I like Neil Gaiman's novels, but the art in Sandman just puts me off. Also, as I've said, I'm more of a tights n fights kinda guy for the most part. So, in summation, the art and the heaps of praise are probably the two factors that keep me from reading or enjoying it.

    In one of the early issues of the book. It was about same time death was introduced.

    Serial killers convention issue was funny as it had panels for the attendees to participate in and a rule that had to be followed: No killing 3 days before or after the convention (Or something like that) within 50 miles. Course someone couldn't fight the urge.

    I won't give you any grief. It really picks up at the end of the first trade, with the 24 HOURS story...that is some MESSED..UP...SHIT in there. And as for the art...Kelley Jones, Michael Kaluta, Charles Vess, Bryan Talbot, Jill Thompson, and Mark Hempel all contribute later. There is some GORGEOUS stuff. I'll admit I don't like a lot of the stuff early on, especially the Sam Kieth issues.

After correcting my situation I proceeded to chase, tackle and begin the process of removing the kids jeans(who the fuck wears jeans to gym class). Only after the teacher forcibly rmoved me from the kid did I realize just how gay trying to take a dudes pants off was. Blind rage is a hell of a thing. Anyway...enjoy your tilde.

    by leo54304

    This weekend at my second job, one of the girls said she and boyfriend were going to have pizza. We started giving her shit, that pizza really meant sex. Asked if she liked her pizza with extra sausage, if she liked pizza in the morning, etc.

    So the codeword for some of us at work for sex is now pizza.

My step daughter used to be a huge Twilight fan, but we had her watch Interview, and she came to us afterwards and said "yea, Twilight sucks"...mission accomplished.Just have to throw in my 2 cents on the vasectomy thing...it has ZERO effect on sex drive and ummmm...other stuff, I know because I am snipped, and trust me, no effect on anything.Pizza...is like sex, even when it's bad it's still pretty good.On that note, here's to a good Friday!

    I do not get the love... but then I always kind of despised Dudley Moore. I think I would have been OK with the first movie if I hadn't seen the sequel... that is one of those instances where the sequel was so bad, it actually ruined the FIRST movie for me... well, what wasn't already ruined by Liza Minelli...

    I hear ya on that, a bad sequel can ruin a good movie. Atrhur 2 was pretty damn terrible. It doesn't help if you don't like Dudley Moore either. But for me, the first is comedy gold.Regardless, you must see Fright Night, you'll like it.

    PINOT SUGGESTIONS... etc...

    by scarywaitress

    Wyatt, Sean Minor, or Fleur de California are the ones I sell that would be good to find (all about $15-$18 retail.) The Sean Minor is the most California-style (lush, ripe fruit, darker color) and the Fleur is the most French (pale color, more bright red berry/strawberry fruit.) As an interesting comaparison, try them side by side... at the very least, you can see what kind of Pinot drinker you REALLY are... because unless you're a geek, only one style will probably do it for you... and it's a good thing to know when you ask a wine geek for help. Wyatt is in the middle of those other two extremes... none of them are oaky. I'm not into oaky Pinot (what's the point? Pinot is all about nuance, you load it with oak it might as well be Syrah...) A step up to $30 will get you Owen Roe Sharecropper's Pinot... David O'Reilly is the shit, yo. Gorgeous, nuanced, no real discernible oak... just delicious. An opened bottle doesn't last half an hour in our house. Pinots I don't sell that are still damn good: CALERA (Josh Jensen is a god,) Ramsay, Bearboat (well, it used to be, haven't had it in a couple vintages,) and Stephen Ross. For shop recs... Sparrows in Hoboken is great (one of my best accounts) but for price, Wine Outlet in Secaucus is really cheap. They don't carry a TON of my stuff, but they will order it if you ask. There's a GREAT little mom-and-pop store in Maplewood, and another small outfit in Tenafly (if you ever go north) called Wine Ventures, they're a trip. If you're looking for a good place to eat out, btw, Bin14 in Hoboken is AWESOME- small plates, you can taste lots of things with their 2oz pours- and the Turtle Club is amazing too, new hip young owners with fucking incredible food made with no real kitchen, I shit you not. Just some hot plates and a microwave... you would not believe it. If you ever want to go, shoot me an email... if you tell them you know me, they MIGHT actually be nice to you (the managers like me, go figure.) PS, they're pouring the Sean Minor Pinot at Bin14.

    Rogue,,, if you're into pink and a little sweet,

    by scarywaitress

    Maddalena is good... but if you want to expand your horizons, find the rosé section and pick something from Spain or France. There is a ton of great pink wines out there. Just FYI, Spanish rosados tend to be fruitier... French rosé will (most of the time) be less sweet. FYI to all Pebrews: Dry means that the FINISH (the aftertaste, right after you swallow) is not sweet. It does NOT mean not fruity... you can have a wine that has lots of ripe fruit flavors that is still dry... also, dry does not mean better. Anyone who says so is a snob.

    by rogueleader66

    Much better in 3D, you forgive the lack of a really good story and cookie cutter characters, and can even deal with Bland Worthington. It's still good without the 3D, but a much more immersive experience in 3D, you really feel like your on Pandora.That being said, now that Cameron has dazzled the world with his 2 1/2 hour tech demo, I hope he steps up and writes a really good story for the next Avatar movie.

    by tedkordlives

    Including my personal holy grail-a comic I've wanted to read since I started reading comics, but has always been too expensive: "What if Wolverine killed the Hulk?". From the original What if series. It had a light stamp on the cover that read "Do not sell" or somesuch, so I got it for a buck. Eh, it was ok. I actually preferred the backup story, "What if the Fantastic Four never was?"

    It's taken me a couple of days to get up to here, and God knows I've got too much work on. Maybe it's just cause I went overboard on disproving it.

    On that note, I had a bunch of things I wanted to say to Rogue, but he's out now, so...

    Yeah, with Fuzz - I guess it's all about your perspective - if that had come out first, everyone would have said it was fantastic, and then Shaun came out they would have said it was even better - not the general "Fuzz is good (no not you Fuzzy), but it was disappointing compared to Shaun" consensus. Like the "Sequel/remake/prequel ruined the original" thing, it says more about the observer than what is actually being observed. The original didn't change. The people did.

    Does that make any sense?

    I thought one more sounded fine. But her woman parts are out of order. Had a few miscarriages, last one being ectopic, where she had to have one tube removed.

    So the odds are against us. We call our daughter "miracle baby" because out of the 9 years we've been together, we've never used birth control.

    ...I slipped on our stairs once. We have the kind with turn, so I dropped straight down a good four feet before landing and catching a wooden stair under the ribs, and another across the thigh. I didn't know you could whack a leg that hard and not break it. When the bruising finally showed up it was this swirling bloody purple color from hip to thigh. I don't know what the hell I did to it, but I limped for weeks.
    I hardly noticed the rib pain at the time, but that ended up hurting longer and being more annoying in the long run.

My mom gathered my bro and I into the hallway to sleep. She let us go to the window for a minute to look outside. I imagined it would be like a tornado. Instead it was a lot of trees thrashing around and sticks flying in the air. When we go to Myrtle Beach every year (which was badly hit), the condos we stayed at all had "Remember Hugo" picture frames on the wall with photos of the damage, or they were just cute little cross-stitched remembrances.I always thought it was named Hugo in honor of the Charlotte Hornets mascot. Didn't realize later these things were named way early when they're just tropical storms.

    Not sure when my present is arriving, I think she wants to surprise me lol.Speaking of Anakin, I'm not sure about the immaculate conception, but in Palpatines speech to Anakin at the opera in Episode III, he spoke of Darth Plagueis and his ability to influence the midichlorians to create life. I am not a big fan of the whole midichlorian thing, but that would explain Shimi not knowing how she got pregnant. Palpatine probably had something to do with it, and she may know him, but alas we will never really know.Did you wanna talk Star Wars or were you just making chit chat?LOL...Sorry had to use the Groundhog Day reference.How's it going Vades?

    Padme was 12-14 in Ep I

    by d.vader

    And highly educated. Still, weird but interesting and "alien" form of government. As for Plagueis' ability to create life, and the fact that he taught his apprentice (Palpatine) everything he knew, yes it's implied Palpatie created Anakin, hoping to make the ultimate Sith apprentice. It also explains his fatherly attachment to the kid. Note the scene in Ep III when Palpatine finds the burnt out Anakin on the shores of Mustafar. Palpatine bends over and tenderly touches Anakin's forehead. It's the most human we ever see the evil Sith lord. Maybe the only real moment of compassion he's ever expressed.

    Palpatine

    by rogueleader66

    Vades, I was thinking the same thing as I typed my earlier response, that is truly the only human moment Palpatine shows, everything else was crocodile tears.Cheeses, Anakin had to lose his hand at some point, if you recall the end of Jedi, when Luke lops off Vader's hand to reveal it is mechanical, then to look at his own fake hand and that's when he realized he was heading down the same path as his father. Had Lucas not included that (in Episode II), he would have truly been executed by every SW fan alive for leaving out such a huge detail like that.I agree though about Anakin in Episode I, that was too much pandering..."Luke blew up the Death Star much like his Dad blew up the droid control ship...see they do the same things, follow the same path". Now the hand thing held much significance, whereas the droid ship/Death Star thing was just a silly thing to further the whole Anakin/Luke parallel destiny stuff.

    Lucas did a lot of good and bad links in the prequels

    by rogueleader66

    A lot of things happened that were supposed to give a link to the OT. Some worked, some did not. What I mentioned in my last post was a good example of something that worked, another one that didn't. I found it interesting that the Death Star plans were actually stolen from the Geonosins. Lucas was hit and miss with his connections to the OT. Some were clever, others just kinda....dumb.

    Good point Vades

    by rogueleader66

    Never thought about it that way, but I agree with that assessment. The "accidental" destruction of it was just silly, just another Lucas pandering to the kids thing. He should have just made it that Anakin was a good pilot and had him blow up the ship from skill, not the way he did. You know, I hate that Lucas did so many things wrong in the PT, but for me he did get more right than he gets credit for. I think the PT's detractors concentrate so much on every little flaw that they fail to see the many good things. I have always felt that every PT film has classic SW moments in it. Sure, there were things I wanted to see and did not, there were things I would have liked to have been done differently.But the bottom line is I liked what I got and what I got was 3 new SW films, something I never though I would get to see. So I guess I am more forgiving of the PT's flaws, and honestly, I think that's a good thing. I don't want to be like these miserable fucks who constantly cry about their raped childhood and how bad the PT is. It is what it is, and I like it. Not nearly as good as the OT, but honestly, no matter how good or bad the PT came out, they would not have, and I don't think they could have measured up to the OT. Too high a bar set with the OT for it to be matched, and by the time the PT was made, Lucas was not the same man he was when the OT was made. Different man, different set of films, for better or for worse.Just my 2 cents.

They panic when they thinks the plans might be found, and Dooku conveniently offers to hold on to them for him. I guess the scene is kinda ambiguous, could be either I guess. They said "our plans for the ultimate weapon"...not "what we are building for you", that's what makes me think they were stolen. Oh who knows LOL.

    by d.vader

    SidoDias or something. In other words, very similar to Sidious, implying Palpatine did it. I think Mori said it in a script review long ago. Anyway, I believe it was Tyrannus who did it. The order came in ten years ago, the same time Qui-Gon died, the same time Dooku left the Jedi order. I saw a comic a few years ago that I skimmed through. It showed Master Syfo Dias was friends with Palpatine or Dooku (I really think it was Palpatine) and showed how Palpatine manipulated Syfo Dias into either making the Order, or into giving Palpatine what he needed to make the order himself. Then, Palpatine killed him. And I think he actually expressed some remorse about doing it, in a Machiavellian kind of way.

    The whole Sifo Dyas/Tyranus/Dooku thing.....(at least my perception of it). Somehow Jedi Master Sifo Dyas was tricked by Dooku into creating the clone army. Remember, Dooku was a Jedi and on the council I believe. Who killed Dyas I am not sure. I am thinking Dooku, who then became Darth Tyranus. Darth Maul was dead so he could have become a sith lord at that point as Palpatine had no apprentice. Dooku hid his sith lord status as to retain his influence with the jedi and to remove suspicion.

But then, that wasn't great writing, as Windu never implied he was going to kill Palps. I hated seeing Windu bite it, but I liked how it happened. It was creative for Star Wars, ie, not another death by lightsaber.

    by rogueleader66

    "Once more the Sith will rule the galaxy" Said with total menace, then in total calm..."and we will have ....peace"....just love that.My theory on the whole disappearing when you die thing is this...Yoda and Obi Wan knew it was their time, therefore they were prepared and their spirits released. Obi Wan went into the Death Star, knowing he would most likely die there, and when he was sneaking around the Death Star, he paused, got his saber out, and was ready, I think he knew then it was his time. Qui Gonn, in the heat of a duel, didn't have time to adequately prepare for death. Same with Vader. He did not disappear because he had just turned back from the dark side, hence no knowledge of preparing for one's death, so Luke gave him the funeral pyre.

Suffering in Ecstasy is an example of the power of editing and sound mixing- but that's all. Hazards is allright.

    by d.vader

    Is fucking AWESOME. Once Windu is dead and he starts making Anakin a Sith, his voice gets all deep and supernatural like; just completely evil. But it doesn't stay in one evil sounding voice. Sometimes it sounds like its obviously being modulated by a computer. Other times, it sounds like he's really changing his voice on the fly. Its a shifting, serpentine sounding thing. Then, it suddenly changes back to the Sidious voice we know with the crawling "Onnnnnce more the Sith will ruuuuule the galaxy!" And then it goes back to Palpatine the Pal voice, tender and sincere- "And we shall... have... peace." Cue the smile. Cue the applause. You almost believe that's what he really wants. I was sold, honestly. I said "Huh... never thought of that before."

I swear I did. But....they just didn't do it. Anakin never came off as a 'good' person AT ALL. Constant whining and total immaturity. He was heading straight for the dark side from the get-go. Never got the impression that he and Obi Wan were 'good friends' or ANYTHING. Anakin was a selfish, pueling brat for 2 1/2 movies, then a murdering bastard for the other half. Just....disappointed overall. And, IMO, the connections made were ham-fisted and clumsy. Nothing elegant at ALL. And how, exacly, did Boba Fett EVER have time to learn anything from Jengo? He was taken in, Jengo was beheaded. Almost IMMEDIATELY. The Jedi order was a bunch of tight-assed, totally DETACHED douches. Why would you want to be one? Just one miscalcuation after another to me. I'm really glad you fellas found things to enjoy. I mean it. I just....was left feeling let down. That's why they will never exist to me. My back-story is better. I felt Lucas should have started with Anakin already under tutelage, a good Jedi warrior, just a bit proud of his own prowess. A guy you could have a beer with...just a bit too full of himself. Not a kid that would never grow up beyond "What about ME??"

    Just two Tecates left in the fridge, been drinking scorch tonight. I just made a Gatorade and vodka for some reason. What the hell. Anyway, I could use some beer. But I'm broke. Overdrafted for the first time EVER. I'm many paychecks behind but I feel like an idiot. I've never not had cash in my checking account. I really feel terrible about it.

    Damn this movie sucks

    by d.vader

    Ive never turned off a movie without seeing it to the end (except Flyboys) so I'm loathe to do it now so close to the end. I could still learn something from this shitty movie, but holy hell this is fucking bad. At least the women are hot and the music is rocking. But the zombies have oatmeal on their faces and eyes PAINTED on the oatmeal. And the camera is ALWAYS static. No long takes. No dolly moves. Just point and shoot. And Aliens is on right now followed by Robocop. And I'm watching this shit.

EXCEPT LAZY-ASS STORYTELLING. The ham-fisted, written-for-3-year-olds bullshit in PT is unforgivable, truly. When Liam Neeson sits down, tests Anakin kid's blood, and explains that he's the Chosen One because his BLOOD TEST PROVES IT, it's all about the mitocholiradinians (or whatever the fuck they are) I wanted to rip the fucking movie screen in half. What. A load. Of shit. It STILL hurts, George. IT STILL HURTS.

    Maybe you should take a trek to the ole ER.Being the SW defender that I am, I have to say...at first Qui Gonn is not sure what Anakin's high midichlorian count means, he does not immedeately conclude that Anakin is the chosen one. Just sayin. I have always maintained that Lucas pandered too much to kids in the PT, but he slowly went away from that after Episode I. I also never was afan of the midichlorian thing either, but it is what it is. Why he felt like there had to be some kind of explanation about Jedis and the force I don't know, just more of his pandering to the younger audience I suppose.

    by cheeses_of_nazareth

    I think what pissed me off the most was that in the original trilogy it was implied that anyone could be strong in the force with proper training. Then in the Prequels it turns out you ave to be born with it, which just smacks of elitism...

    by rogueleader66

    I don't think it has to do with being born with it, I was watching Episode I earlier and Qui Gonn states that midichlorians reside in ALL living cells, not just Jedis. So I am thinking the higher concentration of mc's in your system, the more adept you will be at mastering Jedi skills.Again, I don't like the whole mc thing, but like it or not its part of SW mythos now, so I reluctantly accept it.

    stiffness and screaming pain greet me as soon as I wake up. Then the pain gradually resides as I get up and move around. Advil seems to help a lot. By the time I went to bed last night (with 15 beers in me) I felt pretty good. The I tried to lay on my back and literally could not breath it hurt so bad. The only comfortable position I can find is to lie on my right side with a pillow between my knees. But, I tend to roll around a lot in my sleep, and as soon as I do, I am woken up by the intense pain.

    STLost, the Federal Reserve is a very evil, Constitutionally ill

    by cheeses_of_nazareth

    central bank run by certain extremely wealthy families. It is NOT a part of the US Government any more than Federal Express is the US postal system. It controls interest rates and fixes markets like Marseles fixes fights in Pulp Fiction to continually boom and burst.No one does business in the US without its stamp of approval. Thus no one gets a paycheck unless the Fed wills it.

    Quick Movie Review

    by rogueleader66

    The Crazies (2010)Starts off right away, no delay in getting into what's going on, I liked that a lot, and still you cared about the characters, for the most part. Well paced, no dull moments. The only thing that I didn't like was that it was a wee bit predictable at times, and the ending, while not terrible, could have been a bit better. But for the most part it was very enjoyable and the last shot before the credits did make my jaw drop a bit. Timothy Olyphant keeps getting better IMO.3 1/2 out of 5

Leo...I like to think I'm that cool uncle, but my nephews are 3, 2, and 1 year old, so no beer yet. I did teach him the Hot Dog Dance from Mickey Mouse Clubhouse, which acts as an appropriate stand-in at his age. Don't worry, when they get older, the coolness will age appropriately. My brothers are a teacher & a youth minister. I am DEFINITELY the 'wordly-wise' brother. They won't know what hit 'em, the little crack-monkeys.

    Requiem For a Dream

    by d.vader

    There are only two R rated movies I think should actually be shown in high school to teenagers to prepare them for real life. One is American History X. The other is Requiem For a Dream. Show them that racism is evil and destructive, in all facets, and that drugs may seem like fun in the beginning (bc it does in Requiem), but then it turns deadly with in your face results.

In terms of filmmaking, I sort of can't believe he's American (no offence to my Peebs, I mean he has basically an European sensibility for film). Or "not Hollywood" might be more accurate.

    TPB to get Ted is Black Panther: Bad Mutha. Teams with Luke Cage to take on vampires in NO after Katrina, goes looking for a bride and Fu Manch offers daughters hand in marriage. Don't turn down Fu, he doesn't like it. Great writing and art. PS he uses Monica Rambieu in a way that should have done years ago to deal with the vampire threat in the marvel universe.

    I think its just something ingrained on us to be competitive especially with those of the same gender.

    Its like the drive to procreate that every species has. Its a survival instinct. Just like every woman you meet, your brain makes a snap decision whether she's mating material. If she's not, you either get no response or if she really turns you off, your brain'll tell you. If someone catches your eye, well, you know the response. You want to take a moment longer to watch or even approach her.

    that Hitler basketball thing lead me on an instant segue from isn't Hitler a bit short for Basketball to a one panel Star Wars mashup where Hitler finds himself in the ironic position of being asked, "Aren't you a little short for a stormtrooper?"

    Kev Walker can't seem to get a handle on drawing women, at all. Like I said, I've been reading T-Bolts since #1 (The logo will be my next tattoo, even), and this is by far the worst rendition of both Songbird & Moonstone I've seen yet.

    Whoa, people were that knocked out by Requiem?

    by white_vader

    Well there you go! I liked it (if that's the term) well enough, but it was still so Hollywood to me. I did see it long after most, so the hype probably got to me I guess, because I was expecting something really raw and harsh and I got Flashy refrigerator freakouts and Beautiful model-like people and hypocritical drug angst. Maybe if the leads were supposed to be actors or models I would have gone for it, but it was more like heroin chic rather than actual junkies to me. It just seemed that it had a very standard structure which served to dramatise the events in such a way that they were sort of unintentionally sensationalised. Certainly the end bit was no worse than most gonzo hardcore. Coulda been the music too. Maybe I should give it another go.

    I can't think of something else I'd point to as much more authentic at the moment, but I'm sure I've seen worse/more honest. Or maybe that's just in real life...

    by leo54304

    That was just textbook comic art. Combined with old school comic writing by Busiek made Thunderbolts an excellent read.

    When Hawkeye joined and started to realize how much CA influenced him was a nice touch. Plus, techno's bluish machine look is still my favorite.

    I saw a fantastic Disney Alice in Wonderland tat. I know, that sounds awful, but it was all over the back and both arms, completely on model and the characters sat really well in the background and colours were great. Pretty kewl. Especially that the chick went full-on like that.

    For some reason our state has Fathers' day way after everyone else, so I had a good Sunday anyway. Apparently Daddy's favourite animal is a big fuckoff Funnelweb spider (from the drawings on the handmade cards anyway). What about my beagle?

    FEM-BRAIN CINEMA®: NO COUNTRY FOR OLD MEN

    by scarywaitress

    FIRST IMPRESSIONS. Ended 10 minutes ago. Mezmerizing. This meditation on the nature of good and evil, chance and choice, set a steady pace toward a painfully inevitable end that you saw coming from the second the first dead drugrunner showed up on screen. You KNOW what the end is going to be... and you can't stop watching. A lot has been said of Javier Bardem in this role... and it was all an understatement. This was a quietly executed masterpiece. Tommy Lee Jones... played Tommy Lee Jones. Cast this man in the right movie, and it's like a drink of fresh clear mountain water when you're really, really thirsty (which is why I love him so.) Without his presence this movie might have been unbearable. THE SCORE WAS BRILLIANT. I didn't consciously realize that there wasn't one, until the scene where a couple of trucks drove over a little grate in the desert, and it sounded all the world to me like the guitar riff in Radiohead's "Creep"... I thought to myself, "THAT is a fucking brilliant score... just a tiny little guitar riff here and there, for effect? BRILLIANT!!!!" And then I realized it was an ambient sound in the filming. And then I realized THERE WAS NO SCORE. Beyond brilliant. Final note: I had put off seeing this for a long time... I'm (speaking just for myself) going through a bit of a rough patch lately, and two hours of violence and death that isn't an out-and-out escapist action flick like KickAss sounded like two hours I was going to need to recover from with some yoga and a few shots of vodka... I was incorrect, I'm happy to say. Beautifully filmed, with stirring and subtle performances all around, this was a rumination on the nature of life I wasn't quite expecting, even from the Coen Bros. Bravo. The only false note for me was Woody's cameo... and not because he wasn't really good, but because for some reason his presence snapped me out of the mood of the rest of the film. It might just be a personal thing... not sure yet. ★★★★★
