@Jedshepherd A little psychedelic, dark fantasy perhaps? https://t.co/MeTGlYAdJY

@bavvmorda One of the best scores flat out. If I recall correctly, he didn't compose to picture. He wrote a bunch of cues and handed them to Coppola to cut in as needed.

Read the writing on the pavement. The time is now for our VFX union!

@Joshstrangehill Works great ironically, too. Served me well over the decades.

@M_Morse One of Cruises’s best performances too. His fear is what really sells Hoffman’s menace. It’s rare to see Hunt that helpless.

[Sam Balcomb @SamBalcomb]

@bavvmorda Agreed. I’m 44 and still feel the urge to look away from some shots. Like the overhead of the guy getting dragged under.

[Sam Balcomb @SamBalcomb]

This is FANTASTIC.

@_DaanishSyed Con Air admirably carries on this tradition with the most insane song choice. https://t.co/F9FhIcsePq

And it works because of Silvestri’s unbelievably kickass music.

[Joe Russo @joerussotweets]

It’ll never not be funny to me that PREDATOR has sitcom-like end credits.

[Sam Balcomb @SamBalcomb]

@MuseZack That was pretty much my takeaway after reading Easy Riders, Raging Bulls.

[Sam Balcomb @SamBalcomb]

Endorsed. I had the immense luck of seeing an early screening at Comic-Con. It tore the ROOF off the place.

If you have the day off today and you’ve never seen Attack the Block, you have no excuse not to watch one of the best action scifi films of the last 20 years.

[Sam Balcomb @SamBalcomb]

@garywhitta And never stop listening to its score!

[Sam Balcomb @SamBalcomb]

@RealGDT Definitely picking this up. My Rifle, Pony & Me is my kid’s favorite bedtime song.

@tvaziri MASH on Hulu looks awful, especially the weird color grade. Thankful for my DVD box set (and no laff track). 🍸

[Sam Balcomb @SamBalcomb]

@jasonappledp @valentinavee The Ursa is so close to a perfect camera. But the shortcomings are getting worse as the years march on.

[Sam Balcomb @SamBalcomb]

@tvaziri Wow. And I'm assuming specular reflections etc? I never would've guessed.

A someone who got the hell out of their film program and went to a much better one, it makes me happy to say fuck Emerson.
