God damn it, and I went back and put it in also. Just for - ah - for fun.

Well they often kind of post at once. Something like the idea of MJ sleeping in something called a hyperbolic chamber is pretty delicious, like when people in personals ads mis-spell "intelligence".

Re: Munchausen - I think to truly qualify as a flop, or at least as an interesting one, a film has to have massive buildup/publicity leading up to the fizzle; the greater the anticipation, the greater the "what happened"?, thereby insuring that people remember it for years to come. Munchausen was very expensive and…

@heywalt
I'm assuming you mean Jack's speaking voice, which was Chris Sarandon. I always thought it was a little incongruous too, but not bad. He definitely sounded very nice, which was maybe the point. Though Sarandon definitely didn't pull off the screaming cackle at all.

I didn't like Scrooged either but Christmas Vacation was a very nice surprise when I caught it on TV many years after it came out.

The kind of ironic thing is that Owen Bradley also was responsible for the "live" recordings in the movie "Sweet Dreams", which took her later more polished vocals and put them with instrumental tracks that were more country, and it worked really well. "Lovesick Blues" and "Blue Moon of Kentucky" both are improved…

Suspiria was the LAST movie filmed in true Technicolor, with the last of the surviving equipment and process. Scorcese wanted to make New York, New York with the process, but alas it was gone by then.

Scream - On Ice!

Yeah I recently heard Faron Young's version of "Sweet Dreams" - it's by far my favorite. It's a weird song - I don't care for most recordings of it, even exemplary ones like The Everly Bros, and Don Gibson's own.

I don't like "Faded Love" so much…it's simultaneously too much and not enough. I really don't like the instrumental arrangement.

First "Touchstone" movie, anyone? Anyone? Oh please, anyone at all?

Deep Red's probably my favorite of Argento's movies.

Listen to "He Called Me Baby" sometime. That's all I'm sayin'.

In Coal Miner's Daughter, Loretta Lynn is awakened by the radio playing "Sweet Dreams" and the DJ announcing Cline's death. Did it happen just like that? I do not know lol - it might have.

"iScream" is brilliant, jzimbert.

And to avoid
For some reason, Owen Bradley took some of the best-known songs he'd produced for her and re-recorded and rearranged them, in the very early Eighties. It's called "Always". If you see this, and you're curious, I highly recommend a skip…he makes them into the most egregious pop/country-sounding type of…

I think, didn't Sweet Dreams hit then? I Fall To Pieces was her first post-Walkin' After Midnight hit, a couple years earlier.

Oh god Why Can't He Be You. Maybe my favorite…

Technically they never "duetted" - there were a couple of songs they recorded separately (different labels, different producers) which were made into duets a couple decades later. "Have You Ever Been Lonely" and even, I think, "I Fall To Pieces" were in this category - the first was a radio hit in the late seventies.

Sentimentally Yours
I'm SO GLAD this album was reviewed as an album, if you know what I mean. I used to have a double-cassette in the eighties, Sentimentally Yours/Showcase that was just Cline at her peak. She was recording tracks for the followup, and most of those were on a compilation released as Country Great. …
