I agree, or at least play around and have some fun with the music - maybe use 1940s to 50s music during the earlier years footage and take music from the 60s, 70s and 80s to play with what is happening according to the time that said event is happening. One idea I always wanted to play with was to take songs like ELEANOR RIGBY or any number of GENESIS songs in Phil Collin's early days and take out the vocals and just use the background instrumentals as a form of a soundtrack.

I like what you're saying about playing with the music and the different time periods...but isn't that what Zack Snyder did, and got called "too clever" for doing it?

(3) I don't want to start a tennis match back-and-forth on this, since it's been done to death at AINT IT COOL alone, but is there any way to bring back the Squid? I know, short of taking a HD DISCOVERY channel doc and doing some heavy editing and FX work, it would probably be impossible, but again, just a suggestion (one idea to bring the squid back is that said squid is inside the spherical container Doc M creates - that way you can still keep the stuff that is in the movie. That would only leave the climax to alter).

I know you don't want to start a tennis match, so I assume neither of us will let it degenerate into that, but I'm curious as to why you would want to. Surely you don't think it could ever be pulled off onscreen in a convincingly foreboding, terrifying way?
