Moses had A[a]ron around to help; Sandy was up on that mound alone.

Hammerin' Hank?  He hit seven dingers off Koufax.  "Once after Dodger Hall of Famer Sandy Koufax had struck out young Brave's hitting star Rico Carty three times in one particular game, the shook up youngster confronted Koufax. "You mad at me, Koufax?" asked Carty. Sandy replied "Young man, I don't even know you, but as long as you're hitting in front of Henry Aaron, you're going to have a tough time with me." http://www.755homeruns.com/biography.shtml

Thanks again!  It may also be music by James Bernard, who composed a revised score for the re-release of the 1922 film in America.  I will keep digging and eventually find out! 

Actually that amazon page I linked is useless, most of the reviews are about different DVD releases. I found few more useful links:

Eurekavideo site with trailer featuring Erdmann score

Forum discussion about that release of Nosferatu

And there seems to exist even different reconstruction of Erdmann score

Thanks Drasko.  Unfortunately, I couldn't get any volume on the audio of your 3rd link (VSO performing some of Erdmann's reconstructed score).

I'm just still flabbergasted that just yesterday, unplanned, I was watching Nosferatu, and all of a sudden it has created in me this great, great surge of interest in this film, and of course, the music of this film.

Have any of you ever seen the 1979 remake by Herzog?  I did see a few clips of it, and it did look interesting.  Particularly, a very eerie 'clock scene'.

The Secret of the Grain, with the extended belly dance scene.

That woman's ass is too die for man.

Yes, I've seen Herzog, superb, you should try to see it. For some parts it's almost shot per shot remake but it has it's entirely own feeling. Herzog has this uncanny ability to create this awkward, uneasy atmosphere almost out of nowhere. You'd expect something like that in film like Nosferatu but he manages that even in his documentaries.

Yeah, but did Moses ever throw a perfect game...let alone four no-hitters?!

No, but he did have a heck of a swing.  Heard that he hit "the rock" so hard once that he made water come out of it(Exodus 17:6).  My guess is that even Sandford would have pitched around him with this knowledge.

Watched Jane Campion's In the Cut last night.  I had no memory of it whatsoever, yet knew as I watched that I had seen scene after scene before.  Strange.

David,
Did you see Inception yet?  If so, I missed your review.  We are considering taking it in, but not sold on it yet.

Not yet, Bill.  Yesterday we lunched with one of the boys and his roomies in San Francisco, and all expressed great enthusiasm for it, which only spurred my wife's desire to take it in.  Maybe this weekend....  I'll let you know.

BTW, the other flick they were high on is Scott Pilgrim v the World -- just made for guys like them who grew up on video games, they said, but a lot of fun.

A documentary: LOVECRAFT: Fear of the Unknown

Good if you're interested in the guy.

More info, Dave?

Thanks! I'll Netflix that puppy.

Bill--

We saw Inception.  Anne liked it a lot.  She has a thing for mindless entertainment, especially dumb disaster flicks like The Core or Volcano, so that didn't surprise me.

I thought it seemed like a lot like Jumpers meets The Matrix, only noisier and more frenetic, and without the latter's veneer of coolness.  No Carrie-Anne Moss as Trinity, either, nor a charming villain like Hugo Weaving's Mr. Smith.  Nor even much of an attempt at character development;  Keanu Reeves's Neo was King Lear in comparison with DiCaprio's Cobb.  I'm bored with exploding buildings, bored with dumb plots whose creators think they're clever, and bored with Leonardo DiCaprio in any capacity.  I even nodded off a couple of times and don't think I missed a thing.

3:10 to Yuma

Loved Bale.
Loved the 'modern' Western setting.
Hated the ending.

Well, David you saved us $20.... that we ended up blowing on The Other Guys.  A few chuckles and it was GREAT, and I mean GREAT to see Keaton doing comedy again.  He was fantastic in the few scenes he did.  However, the night was not a total loss as we shared a club sandwich on a patio on a beautiful Colorado evening and then grabbed an ice cream at a ma a pa shop that makes their own in the back....I had pineapple.

I can't wait to see (rent) that one, Bill.

Oh, it's classic Keaton on his part, George.  Better to have it on dvd to replay his scenes.

Will do. 

I also need to rent Mr. Mom again, maybe even buy it. That ones a classic.
