There were drums to accentuate in the later tracks, but I actually enjoyed their absence for a good portion of the soundtrack. But you’re absolutely spot on in your description there, it did have a grand, choral sense to it, spiritual. Now I keep thinking about what alien places of worship would be like...

Ooh. Not sure where I heard/read the drum thing, but it does make sense. It's always nice to see what a composer can do when they're compelled in a different direction.

He was told to largely avoid drums by Nolan (I think? He didn't want it to sound too military) and so he applied the organ in the most glorious ways. I own it because it is beautifully haunting, intense, and otherworldly.

I shared an article talking about it on FB (UK-US dual citizen here) and the other half’s super conservative grandmother jumped on it demanding to know what the boat’s purpose is, etc. ignoring the article and the fact that it’s a UK boat XD. Just enjoy the beauty of the name, people!

“Lamprey eel spray-painted gold Donald Trump”

Hey, now. My toddler is so much better behaved than Donald Frump.

Without a shadow of a doubt, John Williams is a genius. I guaranteed get the chills from listening to the Force theme (also known as Binary Sunsets, I thought). On the other hand, Little Crumb of two years of age will (fairly accurately) gleefully belt the main theme or the Empire’s if given half a chance, to the…

I am easily mollified my photos of any furry babies of adequate adorability so consider yourself forgiven, for I am generous and easily swayed

D: why must you tread on my dreams

There is far too much cool oozing from this article. I am inadequate. Gah! I'm short-circuiting! *fizzles, dies of severe lack of cool*

May I ask who chewed you out? I’m not sure how we identify ourselves here in the US, but I don’t have an issue with calling myself Asian if it's meant respectfully o.O but that’s just me.

You would think that this is so, but it was pretty bad when an exasperated Mr. Crumbs pulled up a map of Asia and they were STILL arguing with him. In other news, he’s no longer working there...

No offense taken! I’m actually pretty happy to discuss these things because it means actually having a friendly discussion on these matters.

Why does this whole thing remind me of when Mr. Crumbs’ coworkers at his last job argued with him about how Indians aren’t Asian? And then proceeded to tell him how I don’t understand my own ethnic heritage ._.

Guys, HALP, I can no longer see! I had to have someone type this for me. How do I fix this?!

My brother-in-law said, hey, her eyes look like they’re glowing red every time she shuts them! Then she looked like a magnificent alien who had decided to honour the US, having descended from her incredible and zany spaceship. It was fab. (I, as always, spent the Super Bowl mumbling about rugby and eating far too…

I am so glad the office is empty, I laugh-choked and DIED. Like, dead. I'm a corpse now.

I think that is the state of kitchens everywhere, so long as children (and adults) are involved. (It’s worth it!) I might be biased but even the anti-kid people in my life make an exception for him...and it's all him, really. I have no idea what I'm doing.

Why thank you :D Peanut the rotund kitty is also the best cat ever. Best thing I ever found in a Carrs parking lot on a frozen night. She’s so tolerant, which has also allowed me to teach Baby Crumb to be gentle with animals.

Yeah but sometimes this happens, and the fat cat and baby are best buds and the baby turns out to be a toddler who will insist on wearing his Batman onesie every day.
