I thought that was Catriona Rowntree for a second. 

(Lol, Rick Stein’s Taste Of Italian Opera just came one. It’s has - yes - Rossini’s Seville overture as the theme...)

Reminds me how Facebook fucked over a lot of sites, like Cracked.com: told them videos on FB got eleventy bajillion views, got everyone to pivot to videos-on-facebook.

Oh, yeah, and there’s worse you could nick from than ol’ Gus.

Daaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaain-tily.

Chad Stahelski never uses live guns, and he’s about the gun-nuttiest guy in Hollywood now that Charlton Heston’s dead. 

As long as there’s one episode titled “Scrotal Recall”. 

Ah, Jim. Now hosting one of Australia’s most family-friendly game shows. 

Ah, Mike Scully. The man who killed The Simpsons.

EITHER WEAR THE JACKET OR DON’T, FRANK. 

Was that Zimmer, or one of his franchisees? I love the POTC score, but that was Klaus Badelt, with Zimmer only as “Producer”.

Just as long as they keep the theme song:

I say this with the deepest respect to you, Yellowfoot, but if you do that with the Hamster Dance I’m paying Vinnie Jones to hunt you down and squirrel grip you.

Absolutely agree - he’s not terrible, he’s not an oh-god-change-the-channel actor, but he’s not some great chameleon who can disappear into, and full inhabit, a role. 

As good a composer he is - and he’s great - Williams’ true talent is understanding the film he’s scoring for...often better than the directors themselves.

I mean, there’s - and I’m not saying this is a bad thing - but there’s a shitload of Holst in his work.

Yeah, if you’re looking for someone from Hollywood who’s exposed more people to a ton of classical (and not just orchestral music)...

Well, more accurately, he saved the orchestral film score. If you go back to the sixties, you start getting a lot more jazz, experimental stuff, with - gasp! - drum kits and electric guitars. Morricone, or Monty Norman’s James Bond theme.
