But why though? I've got plenty of esoteric knowledge in my head and am always giving advice on repairs and technical things, to people older and younger, without feeling the need to be a prick about it. I've got the knowledge because it's my area of interest and experience, they don't because they aren't predisposed toward these interests. Doesn't make me better or them worse, we're different people from different walks of life with different things to offer.

Not just any man, but my favorite musician of all time: Thelonious Monk. Nice job, I dig the color choice.

Agreed. Is this going to be a series, OP? Awesome work.

You're getting downvoted but you deserve better -- everything you're saying about this is the voice of reason and experience. Perhaps a popularity contest is not the best way to determine the relevance or quality of an idea.

I'm kind of curious to see some epic film like gladiator prepared for orchestra accompaniment, but with no orchestra. Like, the whole film without music. You never get to see finished films like that and I'd be interested to see just exactly how much you lose (I'm guessing a lot).

Oh man that's epic. When the Rohirrim arrive at Helm's Deep, goosebumps. And then Return of the King, the ending, fuggedaboudit, there won't be a dry eye in the house.

Whoa now that's a score worth the trip out to see live. Did they do the Gregorian chant parts too?

I think the drop speed is a bit fast, makes the balls look very heavy.

I love Tank Girl and don't consider it a guilty pleasure at all. It's such a fun movie. The mutant roos didn't work for me as well as some other elements, but I love that the film went for it anyway.
