And in the punchline department, it looks like Quincy actually composed music for a 1961 Swedish film called Pojken i trädet, so maybe I'm correct no matter how you read it. :) Thanks for indulging me.

I'm just here to correct the record (or CD, as the case may be). I think most people who know me (both here and at "my" site), whether or not they agree with my assessments or can tolerate my writing style, would tend to admit that I have an at least above average knowledge of film music, so...

Once again Mr. Kimmel seems to have a reading comprehension issue, or once again I have a clarity issue. :) Considering the depth of Mr. Kimmel's typical snark, I'll opt for the former. What I stated was "Gold eschews his typical orchestral grandiosity in favor of a jazz inflected score that...

Before I move on to more important matters, a couple of things. I can only go by what Mr. Redman himself told me, not what Mr. Kimmel reports secondhand. I in fact explicitly mentioned Mr. Redman's anger (to put it mildly) over those he deems "officially" associated with the site and their...

P.S. I actually took time to sort through all 6,861 (as of this morning) posts in our TT thread. While I may have miscounted one or two, my unofficial tally is 5,742 positive (or neutral, meaning they're things like release announcements), 1,119 negative. I'll let a math major figure out the...

As with ROClockCK, I'll speak for myself, thank you very much. :) Jeffrey Kauffman from Blu-ray.com here. As Ron and Adam are only too well aware, not only was I a writer for HTF, I've continued to enjoy an e-quaintance (Trademark) with them. I am more than happy to print the full text of...

I would like to step in here and clarify several things. Having worked at both HTF and Blu-ray.com I can state unequivocally I find both sites are honorably run and any allegations to the contrary are really wrong headed. Unlike HTF, we are an international site, with the principals and...

Hello, and thanks to everyone for their interest in my review of "Scrooge" on Blu-ray.com. As Ron will confirm, I initially thought that my DVD did indeed have an Overture, but in checking it again, hitting the "Play Film With Overture" simply took me to the opening credits, so I assumed the...

Remember when the "M" in MTV stood for music? You could go for days on the MTV of the 1980s and see virtually nothing but music videos. As the channel moved away more and more from music and into such fare as series, I repeatedly felt the "M" stood for Mediocre (and that was being charitable...
