John Ottman’s score to X2


John Ottman’s score to X2
I fondly remember hearing this amazing score to the second film in the X-Men series.  For once, they actually had a stronger set of themes for the film unlike the first movie. 
My favorite part of the suite is the Phoenix/Jean Grey theme in the middle of the track.  The use of the piano beginning the theme was a nice choice.  There is a sense of wonderment and sadness to it, with a hint of darkness. 
While I like the Phoenix theme in the X3, I felt they should have carried over Ottman’s Phoenix theme to that movie, but then again we’re talking about Brett Ratner.

Threshold, Star Trek Voyager

Image
http://www.agonybooth.com/extras/trek/threshold/default.asp?Page=1 Over at the Agony Booth , the great writers over there have finally tackled one of the worst episodes of Voyager, Threshold . Trust me, Voyager was all around a bad show, but this episode takes the Troi cake (with mint frosting). I've never seen a show with so much promise go down the torpedo tubes so fast. What was Brannon Braga thinking when he named his sci-fi show Threshold ? Here is what Albert Walker writes about it. ((Despite his regrets over "Threshold", after Enterprise was canceled Braga developed a sci-fi series for CBS about aliens rewriting people's DNA. And he called it... Threshold. Was he hoping the show would become such an outrageous success that it would completely overshadow the Voyager episode of the same name? If so, it backfired, because the show didn't make it past ten episodes. One can only wonder what next Brannon Braga failure will be worthy of the "Threshol...

Daisy Summers/Daisy Haze is a Star Wars fan

Uh, You know you're a geek...when you notice a pornstar's tattoo is a Star Wars  tattoo.  Yep, instead of noticing the extremely cute pornstar Daisy Haze, I noticed she has a Star Wars tattoo. It is the rebel alliance symbol. Forget about she's an attractive lady, she's a Star Wars fan. She's so much of a fan that she took the time to paint it permanently on her body. Even I won't put a Star Trek tattoo branded on my butt. If I were a male pornstar, and I saw that symbol on her. I'd keep hearing "Stay on target,  Stay on target!"  Plus, I'd keep having sight of Porkins in my head every time despite the fact she NOTHING like Porkins.  Damn it.  Sorry, this is not what I want in my head! Yes, this is sad. I am more interested in her SW tattoo than the fact she's cute and gets paid to be naked all the time. I really need to get out more... Yes, ladies, I am more likely to notice your Batman/Su...

Elisabeth Hasselbeck pwned?

Image
Okay, Alicia Silverstone's stock just went up. http://www.bobbysketch.com/wp/2007/05/24/alicia-silverstone-snubs-elisabeth-hasselbeck/ As she emerges from backstage, she greets everyone but Elisabeth Hasselbeck. Alicia was annoying and just plain bad in Batman and Robin, but she gets major props from me now. Here's a shocker, I actually agree with Rosie for once. In the clip that started the whole thing (check the link I provided you with), I actually enjoyed watching Rosie stomp on Hasselbeck. Liberals need to be strong like this. I can't believe I'm siding with Rosie. I hate Rosie, what am I doing?
