Anathema occupies a bit of a strange place in all this because they started as a doom metal band and there's very little of that influence left in their music now.

The non-SW acts are just as interesting.

I don't think Dragonfly was straight-to-DVD

There are a few bands that are classified as progressive rock nowadays that take a lot of cues from post-rock.

I really liked Wyatt Earp. It's misunderstood, but I look at it as a darker tale than maybe was intended.

I'll be quite honest, I hated that movie but he certainly rose above it.

The Way is pretty good.

I have the Blu-ray of his performance at the Montreux Jazz Festival in 2004. The performance with the big band in '96 is the extra, and mostly why I bought it.

Speaking as someone who had a parent go to prison (legit) for awhile, I agree wholeheartedly. I don't think it would have made an ounce of difference to me if  this character was introduced but if it does someone else great.

This is only useful to me if it somehow leads to all cable news networks dissolving completely.

The film is a mess, but I think his is the best score in the Alien franchise. It's quite the shame Fincher hasn't used him since then.

I liked the moment in either the 1st or 2nd season he did it in front of Arlene's kids.

One thing not mentioned in the article is the use of music. It's a Ligeti piece, that works wonders when De Niro realizes he's being watched.

This owes as much to Westerns as it does noir as well. The obvious comparison is The Wild Bunch as Peckinpah explored pretty similar themes and blurred the lines between good and evil just as much as Michael did. But another interesting one to think about is Unforgiven and parallels between Eastwood and De Niro's…

The biggest triumph of The Insider is that it is unmistakably Michael Mann, without it being a crime and/or action film. It relies entirely upon character, story and still delivers on that level. But I still put Heat above it, though by a thin margin.

What certainly enhanced the sound was the fact they were shooting around those skyscrapers that walled the sound in.

At least Casino was nominated for a few awards. Heat got nothing.

In what way?
