Not true - the Vangelis soundtrack was finally released several years ago.

There was some version of the Vangelis soundtrack relased on cassette tape at one point. I owned it. I wish I still had it, but this news makes me very happy.

Saw Harold And Kumar tonight which I found delightful. Funny, and smarter than I thought it would be.

Then snuck into Collateral, which was underwhelming. Some scenes were amazing, and others just seemd forced and laughable. It's a beautifully composed and shot film, though.

Yep, that was pretty much my reaction. I think if I'd left before about the last 20 minutes, I would have liked it much more. Because it's not so much that it falls apart, it's that it falls apart in such a bland clichéd way, and up until that point, it had been tense and atmospheric enough for me to forgive most of the plot holes. (Like, why didn't he just kill the lawyer first?)

The Vangelis soundtrack is on the Blade Runner Director's Cut DVD. I'm guessing that's the original source material for the bit-torrent.

Anybody know anything about the remake of Zatoichi? It's playing in DC; should I make the effort to see it?

I've got the Blade Runner soundtrack right here.

It's a bit stretchy from over playing but...

Is it the Vangelis version? The much more common one is the soundtrack as performed by the Boston Pops (I believe), or perhaps the London Symphony. I disremember.

I finally watched An American In Paris all the way through.

Well, almost. Was there narrative in that interminable dance scene? Because I saw conflict; dance/costumes; no conflict.

I mean, was everyone else really just that goodhearted?

Actually, it's something like the New England American Orchestra.

Yes true. The Vangelis version was a re-recording in '94. It may be some of the music from the movie, as performed occasionally by Vangelis but it isn't the soundtrack.

The torrent I linked to is the full music soundtrack from the movie. It's all there and the quality is A++

I love An American in Paris even more than Singin' in the Rain (although I know almost nobody else feels this way). For me, the whole movie is worth it just for the 'I've Got Rythym' number when Gene Kelly does the aeroplane.
