That was indeed an illuminating passage, and I almost shared it on Facebook… but I was too embarrassed by the rest of the article it came from.

Looks like he picked the wrong day to quit sniffin glue!

But, what's happened to Eric Serra?

Does that make her the Princess of Canada?

I'm more of a power-sidekick.

This idea could only be improved if they threw out all the traditional story elements in favor of some gritty war stuff where Robin fights the French.

No, he really doesn't. I've heard the various examples people claim he ripped off, and none is really the same for more than 2-3 notes. There are some cases where there was clear inspiration- Star Wars, as I mentioned, came with a temp track full of Stravinsky and Holst et all and a mandate to reproduce their sound……

Oh god I'm going to be singing that myself now every time

Oh get out with this crap. Every composer's work reflects the masters they studied and the miasma of musical fragments swirling around in their head, Williams no more than most. Almost every piece of music in any genre you can think of has a few near doppelgangers floating around simply by coincidence. It also…

I suspect the "problem" with Force Awakens (such as there was any - still better than most film music today) is just that he's old. Unlike his previous Star Wars scores a lot of the incidental music feels underbaked; it lacks the high level of sophistication in the subthemes and orchestrations found in the earlier…

I think I used a hint. It may depend on whether you hit Mechanical first, as it gives those same sounds a better introduction.

"That's antihistamine money you know, it's not to be sneezed at! You get it Rock? Not to be sneezed at?"
"Yeah I got it…"
"Thousands won't!"

I really like Slappy as a character, she's easily my favorite of the non P&B supporting cast. But her cartoons don't really click for me, they tend to slip from old-school homage to tedious formula. The notable exception being the Woodstock/Abbot and Costello episode, which is brilliant.

You shut up.

I think the closest MST3K got to killing me was when we meet the bad guy in MITCHELL and Crow comments "well he looks hastily put together.."

As I recall, this was given in explanation by his wife.

Yes, I'm surprised to see that's missing from Wikipedia's list as I'm pretty sure that's where I first read about him. Ole Bentzen, Danish fellow. Apparently it was the "chip up the nose" scene that did him in because it reminded him of a similar incident from his childhood.

He looks not unlike a Victorian version of the "Newborn" from Alien 4.

This is true. I'm currently playing Teddy in a production of Arsenic and Old Lace, written only 20 years after TR passed. Like a good little actor the first thing I did when I got the part was look up some audio recordings him… and instantly realized this would be no help at all. The jokes in the script simply…
