No Dances with Wolves for South Dakota?  You may not like the film, but the cinematography was lovely.

You’re Paul Thomas Anderson, and you’re the third-most exalted film director in the room.

Completely different context, but if you have not, please listen to Miles Davis’s score for Elevator to the Gallows (Ascenseur Pour L’échafaud). As I recall, he happened to be in Paris and the director needed a score, so he threw together a quintet and improvised whatever he wanted while they played film scenes for the…

I would say that a key difference is that the Bond Theme plays when you see Bond, it does not mean that Bond is lurking and can see you but you cannot see him. That music was the shark (by happy confluence of events), and it worked like nothing else. Which is a long way of saying, in full agreement regarding Jaws.

You just have to put Jaws at #1. That music was the shark in such an indelible way. I cannot recall another score achieving that precise concordance of theme and oh, shit, look out, without the referenced character being seen, though I am open to suggestions.  The Imperial March mirrors Vader, but you get to see Vader…

The forensic odontologist for that jurisdiction should have his dental records already on file as as suspected missing person in this case, so if it is him, identifcation should not take long.

Really pulling for A Room With a View here.

Rookie mistake, I know.

Big should be #1; he should have gotten the Oscar.  No one else could have pulled that off so well.

I got a mug shot, in Kalamazoo-zoo-zoo-zoo-zoo-zoo...

Nice use of “untoward”.

I clicked on the AV Club - a site, you may have heard, that is about pop culture in its many art forms - and wondered “how will they come up with some justification to stray out of their lane this time to cover the submarine news; why, surely, that is not of their bailiwick” and... bam.

Not Rushmore?

Carrie was always the weak center on her own show.

Just saw this on an airplane, and even that was a sketchy investment of time on this product.  The feet missing, though, concerned me more when watching the dancing scenes in La La Land.

But what do Bill’s cousin, father, and children think about it?

I thought that some cheating went on, with all of the other dead people still covered in their bruises and blood, vomiting and hanging.  Bruce should have been bleeding, or throw in some less obviously dead ghosts.

I’m older, saw Octopussy when it first came out, and still like it. I think that it had a good cold-war structure under the silliness. My nostalgia hit is Moonraker; damn, but I do love that wildly stupid film. Imprisoning Bond and Goodhead in a futuristic board room for a few minutes of screen time, which then sinks…

I recall Siskel & Ebert comparing the two films, and saying that Octopussy makes Never Say Never Again “look like a Bergman film”.
