I'm still confused as to what this "Bruce Willis" moment is though.


Towards the end of the attack, there is a scene where Jennifer Garner's character kinda "loses it" just after Betty is discovered to be dead. While she's freaking out, a wounded soldier limps across the frame just behind her. That soldier is Bruce Willis, digitally extracted from the end of Die Hard. It screams to be noticed and ruins one of the more powerful moments of the film. Some places aren't right for in-jokes, and that was certainly one.

Star Trek is Gay
Time
I knew the inflammatory title would grab your attention.

So maybe not ALL of Trek is gay, but apparently Sulu is.

That rustling sound you hear isn't autumn leaves in the wind, it's Trekkies around the world shuddering.

And to clear the air, while not a bona-fide Trekkie, I absolutely love Kirk's and Picard's Trek. So don't read any real Trek bashing into my post. Just some ... ummm ... fluffy news for your Friday.

Sarcasm was intended in my remark. I've been bemoaning the November Halloween episode since it started.

The friggin team owners need to shorten the season. Series should be over by Sept. 30.

Need John Williams and SW Artwork for ...
Time
I'm hoping to get Boba Feta to design a cover for the "Star Wars: A Musical Journey" re-edit that I did. Since this DVD came with no unique artwork of its own, I'm hoping you all can help. I'm looking for hi-res scans of John Williams, preferably while composing/conducting SW music. Shots with Lucas would be awesome. OT and PT. Plus, has anybody tackled a composite poster of both the OT and the PT characters into one? That would be amazing. But John Williams and Lucas would be my primary focus.

For those who don't know what this release is, it's my second "Bonus Disk" which replaces the soundtrack with voiceover-free music in a PCM Audio track.

Idea: a Batman Forever re-edit?
Time
I can respect that. I haven't gotten the new set yet, but I didn't know the deleted scenes were going to be in the supplement. So they're all on the new DVD? I see another project in my future. The only scene I want to remove is that awful shootout in the street/car driving up the wall mess. What tripe! The rest of the film I can stomach, but that one was just too much. Oh, what Burton could've done with that film if given the chance.

Idea: for an edit of Batman Begins
Time
I suggested "Batman Ascends" to BOF. Hopefully Jett will include that in his next title poll.

Anyhoo, I couldn't say enough good stuff about this movie back when it came out. It my favorite movie of the year (yes, moreso than ROTS, which shouldn't take a genius to know why) and I think a worthy contender for Best Picture that'll never get the nod.

As for Zimmer's score, both times that I've seen it, the music has been stuck in my head for days afterward. Interestingly, I'm starting to really get into Hans Zimmer's head, having dissected Hannibal and Pearl Harbor, and just grooving on Batman Begins (not to mention my passionate love for the Gladiator score). I was never so sure about what his style was, I just always liked it. Wanna hear something weird? Years ago, my wife and I waltzed at our wedding to the theme from True Romance (also by Zimmer). A handful of my movie buddies were audibly floored by that choice. Everybody else just thought we'd chosen a nice calypso piece. Ha!

THE FAN EDIT CONTEST HAS A WINNER !!! REVIEWS IN OFF TOPIC FORUM
Time
PH is actually already complete and out the door to my trusty quality checker. Hopefully what's been done will make sense.

Interestingly, from the dawn of Dec. 7 aboard the Japanese carrier until the awful Bruce Willis Die Hard cameo, I didn't make a single cut. That entire span is a pretty balls-to-the-wall war epic. The Directors Cut added much more stuff here. More realistic gore and terror. For the most part, it was just about excising the love triangle. That alone has improved this film beyond imagination.

Actually, if you've never seen the original film, don't ... at least not yet. It would be interesting to get the point of view -- especially from a serious film buff such as yourself -- whether or not this film actually works on its own merits. What an amazing control group you could be.

Finding out if this movie works with NO frame of reference would be awesome.

Then, maybe in a few weeks, you could watch the official version and compare that way. They're going for cheap on that megastore of a website that's named after a river in South America.
