  • Ok I'll go with that :D
  • Oh ok ...thanks. SP made a lot but also cost a lot. We need positive news ...we're in a funk.

  • I watched the Incredibles again with my kids last night and that score builds such great tension. Compliments what's on screen compared to competing with it. I remember I think Barry himself stated that what's on screen comes first and that the …

  • I didn't know there was tension between EoN and Newman during SP? I still have the opinion that there was tension among all involved.
  • I have to agree too although I appreciate the exercise that you're doing. Having said that thanks for sharing.

  • Would be hard to do a true edit without alternate scenes to play with but interested to see what you come up with :). If it was me I'd edit everything after the MGM opening.
  • I don't know ...I'd rather see the actual character or an updated version sans the foster brother angle.

  • Ok I admit the Blofeld role was poorly written but c'mon Waltz you can't play completely dumb. They just don't film these things without rehearsals. Everybody pretty much knew and approved of what they saw going in. I'm not saying I don't agr…
