  • Also, Peter Lorre should have starred in an EON Bond at some point.

  • It would be clever marketing and unwise not to do it.

  • La La Land is doing the film score lord's work. This incredible label brings joy and satisfaction to a musical niche, a small but loyal fraction of the music-consuming population. It used to be hard to build a collection of scores; it used to requir…
  • We have several OHMSS threads already and they are easy to find.
