recently got the complete collection of Faulty Towers and The 300
and a laugh was had and many a body was piled high

HoopyFrood · 7th January 2008, 04:43 PM

I've been meaning to watch 300 for a long time now (it's seems delightfully gory and stylised, my kind of thing indeed) and your post above, OR, made me go out and buy it today. You owe me £6

AE35Unit · 7th January 2008, 05:19 PM

Well i love LOTR,have the box set,but i might not like 300,you never know. It looks suitably dark and nasty tho so...
Apparently there's a nasty scene where they murder a lot of children,I'd find that hard to watch

hmm - a child does die, but I don't recall a scene like that in the film - the only comparable scene is a village nailed to a tree - seen at a distance and only after the event has happened - and the people are dead

AE35Unit · 9th January 2008, 03:43 PM

how on earth do you nail a village to a tree?

Overread · 9th January 2008, 03:54 PM

AE35Unit · 9th January 2008, 04:03 PM

I think his Adagietto from the 5th is the best version of all. But I also like anything conducted by Horenstein. And Karajan seemed to be able to do a creditable job with Mahler.

Finally got Dark Star,which I've never seen! Also got War of the Worlds,the original. The only film where I have 2 versions!

Can't comment on Horenstein as I don't have any recordings of his.

But I agree with you on the Adagietto of the 5th and Karajan. I Also like Chicago Symphony Orchestra's Mahler for their strong brass.
