  • Furthermore, I feel the story is building up to a point where those agents are going to fully understand why Ethan is doing what he is doing, and help him with it. I think saving the train passengers was the beginning.

  • Also, how did you identify it? Just perusing the De Wolfe library? I've tried that a few times with certain tracks, sometimes successfully, sometimes unsuccessfully.

  • The new JMY stuff. That Hip's Trip remix is great.
  • Thanks for identifying the TLD radio music. Another mystery cleared up.
  • When the fire is killing people in The Towering Inferno, it's not angry, frustrated, vengeful etc etc., and I'm still compelled by what's happening.
  • I so want them to bring back John Polson or somebody from MI2. I doubt Nyah would return. I'd even settle for a spoken reference to Biocyte. It's an OCD kind of thing. They're referencing quite a bit from previous films, but MI2 remains untouched…
  • Finally watched it. I enjoyed it a lot, and definitely more than Fallout. Random notes (spoilers, of course): - The beginning reminds me of TSWLM. - The "antagonist" in this film is so eerie and memorable, despite being something intangible and …

  • Enough with the off-topic stuff, let's get back to Oppenheimer.
  • I really need to catch up on my Exorcist. -Exorcist II: The Heretic -The Exorcist III (that alternate cut they released a few years ago) -Dominion: Prequel to the Exorcist That's it. Oh, alright, why the hell not: -Exorcist: The Beginn…

  • The Professionals is such a cool film. The conversation between Burt Lancaster and Jack Palance, in which they compare their commitment to the revolution with the love for a woman, is absolutely fantastic.
