Author	Topic: ? for PETER K.

Hector J. Guzman Member	Thanks Chris! I hate NBC's way of looking at other countries as if they were inferior to the United States, specially the way they handled the (case of Marion Jones' husband)C.J. Hunter doping thing, and the way, almost uncaring, of Andreea Raducan's case. And when the swimmer from the Netherlands won, all the undirect comments he said, almost supporting Amy Van Something's unsportsmanship behavior. Sorry for this off-topic post, I'm really pissed with these people. But I like the music from the coverage. NP. Olympic Spirit(Williams) [Message edited by Hector J. Guzman on 09-29-2000]

Chris Kinsinger Member	...not to mention hard plastic buns! Hector, I find nearly EVERYTHING about NBC's Olympics coverage to be really annoying! I heard yesterday that the ratings are terrible, and if that's true I believe it's because NBC is doing such an awful job.

Chris Kinsinger Member	Oh, I don't know, DjC. I find many of the events very exciting to watch, in spite of NBC cutting and pasting everything together, and flashing their logo on the screen between every single shot. GRRRRRRRR!

DjC Member	They could make make things more interesting. Take the Gymnastic portion, all they have to do is surround the mat with electrically charged barbed wire cages, and have flame throwers burst every minute or so during the act at the person..hence why that person has to use gymnastics to dodge the traps, much like Indy. and the Last Crusade, when he dodges the blades. Now that would be very very very watchable. Hell, throw in some aligators too, if the person falls, they land in a moat with fire breathing crocidiles.

Observer Member	In that case, how about we just make Rollerball an official Olympic sport?

DjC Member	Only prob is that Rollerball is cheasy. For no death or injury is apparent. I would say make the Olympics like Mad Max in the thunderdome, only with fire breathing aligators.

Chris Kinsinger Member	Statistics have proven that this thread loses steam unless there's some sort of controversy to keep it ignited. I understand that here on the other side of 1000 posts, perhaps that milestone was seen by many as the peak, but I maintain that if chains are jerked, the posts will come flying in. Controversy, anyone? I say that the US Government has the cure for cancer, but will not release it until April 5, 2003! I say that Lee Harvey Oswald DID NOT kill JFK! I say that Hangar 18 EXISTS! I say that Alan Silvestri WAS the original choice to score Patton! I say that the ONLY reason that Leonardo DiCaprio & Kate Blanchett starred in Titanic is because both Bob Hope and Phyllis Diller REFUSED unless they received $1 Million each! Hopefully at least ONE of these will work...

H Rocco Member	Christopher, you know damn well that Paul Simon was the original choice to score PATTON -- they wanted sort of a "soundscape" concept, with lyrics underscoring Patton's most secret emotions, but Simon thought the character was fascistic and refused to do it. And it was Kate Winslet, not Cate Blanchett, that finally appeared in TITANIC -- although it was NOT Phyllis Diller that she was replacing, but Diana Ross. Ross was actually game, but she wanted more money than Bob Hope, and Hope insisted on his own "favored nations" contract clause, i.e. anything one star gets, the other gets. Negotiations went on for SOME time, even past the point where filming began: Cameron decided to go ahead with the younger actors, shooting everything he could, and imagining that he could digitally replace DiCaprio and Winslet with Hope and Ross later. Ross even recorded the original version of "My Heart Will Go On" -- now that's a bootleg rarity! They actually wound up paying her off MORE money NOT to release her version, or perform it live EVER, than she would have made for acting in the film! What a weird-ass business this is. (I understand that James Horner actually hoped Cameron would replace Ross with Celine Dion, but by the time all the deals had fallen apart, the movie was already so far over budget that Cameron decided to stick with his existing cast. I believe he also toyed with the idea of digitally replacing Kathy Bates with Shelley Winters as well, but decided TITANIC was a bit too much like POSEIDON ADVENTURE already as it was ...)

Chris Kinsinger Member	"I say the US government is so screwed up that if they DID have a cure for cancer, one-third of them wouldn't realize it, one-third would would think it was bad for you, and the remaining third wouldn't care!" That's just IT, John! They don't even know they have it! Rocco, thanks once again for the fascinating behind-the-scenes insider stuff about Patton and Titanic. I recall a rumor about Paul Simon scoring Patton and the rumor had it that he left in a huff after George C. Scott went ballistic while listening to him sing "I Slap You". Simon wanted the song to play in the background in the hospital scene, increasing in volume as Patton slaps the cowardly private. I never thought it was true, though. Man, I would've LOVED Titanic even more with Hope & Ross as the leads. Cameron certainly did OK, but I believe the Hope & Ross chemistry would've added an even greater demographic to the already astronomical B.O. take! By the way, you would certainly be the one who would know the answer to this one: I found a very old copy of Variety in a closet, and thought it would be fun to look it over. Under the heading of "Scoring Assignments" there was this one: Vic Mizzy to score Fox's comedy Planet Of The Apes, starring Jack Lemmon and Paul Lynde. What dy'a make of that?

The NBC coverage sucked, even though I like NBC. It's a good thing I live on the border, I get the [almost]complete and live coverage from the Mexico stations, and the NBC coverage. The thing NBC knows how to do are those montages with film music.

PeterK FishChip	Uh, I don't know what to say other than one bit of advice. If you like this thread, it would be wise to cancel any and all vacations you have planned for the future. I've been away for a mere 9 days and it's taken me almost an hour to catch up on this single thread. I must admit, I really wished I had a good score playing when I was reading up to the 1,000th post. I was quite held in suspense, not unlike my first viewings of most Hitchcock films. It was quite amazing! I am happy to see this thread is alive and well, and as off topic as ever. I enjoyed everyone's favorites/worsts lists. COWABUNGA. PeterK
