    I love the brass sound from those old lush LA studios in that era.  Burt Bacharach has that sound too.  Soooooo good.  Makes me wish I lived during those days.  

     

    I know it’s obvious, but it had to be done . . .

    I was rewatching Garage Days, which ends on a musical number with this song.

     

    Was stuck in my head all day.

    Just got home. Despite some questionable scientific accuracy and cheesy dialogue here and there, it still holds up in my mind! The score is both haunting and beautiful. Makes for some really eerie scenes and always dominates said scene in the best way. Audio was gloriously loud. Love the opening one-shot. Man, 35mm is such a treat.

     

    You know what grinds my gears though? A lot of folks laugh at things that aren't meant to be funny. I've noticed it more and more lately at showings of older films. For example I saw Lifeforce there a few years back, and you would've thought it was a comedy by the way people were reacting. I really don't understand that. I mean obviously I get that unintentional hilarity exists and can happen, but it's just gone really overboard in the group settings these days.

     

    The most unforgivable to me is those that laugh during HAL's disconnection in 2001. I've always felt it's one of the most tragic scenes ever put to film. Bowman is absolutely savagely murdering this being, cold and calculating just as HAL did to the rest of the crew a few scenes prior. HAL is essentially begging for his life and... people are laughing. Happens every single screening, kills me every time.

     Sorry, I didn't mean for this to turn into a rant, but it's a rant now. 😆

    I think this is why many films in the past decade or so have had this smug, self-aware streak in them.

     

    They just have to punctuate sincere moments with a quip or joke out of fear of being seen as sentimental or cheesy.
