    Mystic seer: I see the spectre of evil hovering over you. You are standing on the edge of a deep precipice of trouble. the dark pixie of misfortune is reaching out for you... Young Mr. Cabot: That's my wife. What I want to know is what to do about it. Mystic seer: Have patience my lad... Ah, I see your past coming up before me.. Young Mr. Cabot: Never mind about the past. It's the future I'm worried about Mystic seer: Ah, yes, your future..... Does your wife know this young lady she saw you with tonight? Young Mr. Cabot: No, but she and her flatfoot will know her the next time they see her. they must have gotten a good look at her.. Mystic seer: Ah, the crystal tells me she better leave town at once. Get her away, so your wife never lays eyes on her again. That'll be Fifty dollars please. - My Lucky Star (1938)

    I agree with the fanfares too. It may be the whole nature of filmaking these days that the fanfare doesn't distinguish anymore in the eyes of executives. I feel they've lost something very iconic and a source of pride without having these now classic audio logos included in the opening. I will search for more fanfares, including Alfred Newman's most famous one for 20th Century Fox.

    Thank you, Tom. It is amazing (I looked too) that Don Juan didn't have the love theme easily accessible. In the meantime, I listened to several, and this is still my favorite version of the WB fanfare (composed by Max Steiner)

    King Kong is brilliant, and no Steiner collection would be complete without this: Gone With The Wind

    Yeah, Teal's (Mollet) bloviating was way out there, beyond Republican or conservative Democrat mindset of the time. And I agree on how the character was used to finally pull Andrew's Derry character out of his personal malaise, and set up his turning point.

    Ironically, the best lines in the Social Network to me do not have a naturalness to it. They are great set-ups to make a point of character or plot propellant. Nope, we talk in a stream of consciousness (not unlike endless status postings looking for a response) and scene has to make a point of giving us either positive hope or present a fear as story moves in its arc. Mark Zuckerberg: Your date looks so familiar to me. Sean Parker: She looks familiar to a lot of people. Mark Zuckerberg: What do you mean? Sean Parker: A Stanford MBA named Roy Raymond wants to buy his wife some lingerie but he's too embarrassed to shop for it at a department store. He comes up with an idea for a high end place that doesn't make you feel like a pervert. He gets a $40,000 bank loan, borrows another $40,000 from his in-laws, opens a store, and calls it Victoria's Secret. Makes a half million dollars his first year. He starts a catalog, opens three more stores and after five years he sells the company to Leslie Wexner and the Limited for four million dollars. Happy ending, right? Except two years later, the company's worth 500 million dollars and Roy Raymond jumps off the Golden Gate Bridge. Poor guy just wanted to buy his wife a pair of thigh-highs.

    I'm sorry, one mention of "Social Network" and I immediately think of cat videos. What was originally thought as this great social network has been better developed by sites like Tindr. FB has devolved into a provincial small town back fence via internet, with as much gossip and misinformation and people with sometimes surprisingly bigoted admissions under the guise of wink-wink nudge-nudge, not unlike Sepiatone's grandfather. It is a movie that was about the personalities, and yet the goal was what? precisely. I wonder how the film will age with time.

    I was not loving it much either. I watched, and now I can claim I've seen it. I think part of what makes this story brilliant is the amount of energy without resorting to the reading Facebook's posts. HAHA. But it seemed for me to accomplish this feat of being simultaneously scenes too clipped for understanding and yet too mundane to keep interesting in moving the story forward. I just couldn't connect with the characters on an emotional level. Couldn't invest caring about them.

    Because those are the rules between grown-up men and women, or should be. The trouble is, the game is so one-sided for a man. -Cary Grant Indiscreet (1958)
