Author	Topic: Greetings Movie Music.com Message Boarders!

Chris Kinsinger Oscar® Winner	This is a very cool Message Board! I just found out about it from one of my friends over at FSM, where I have been a regular since it first opened. How long have you folks been here? And what does "NP" mean? (I keep seeing posts with NP at the bottom of the message). Anyway, greetings all!

PeterK FishChip	Chris, welcome aboard. I look forward to your participation here at MovieMusic.com. As for your questions, this message board has been around since mid April 1998. NP? It's short for "Now Playing." Use it to let everyone know what's now playing in your CD player. Pretty simple - one of the many unique things you will find here that distinguish this community from the many cookie cutters out there. Once again, welcome. This goes for all of you new people! PeterK NP - "The Craft" score by Graeme Revell

Marc Flake Oscar® Winner	Hello again Chris. Just a little more background. Most of us have been with Peter for longer than just mid April. We were all at another message board which had an unpleasantness around the first of last year. Peter set up his own board and we followed. I've been lurking mostly until "Mystery Alaska" came out without a soundtrack. I decided I needed to ge more involved. SO instead of just reading, I'm posting, too. BTW, I've ben looking at some of the discussions over there at FSM and I'm looking forward to some fresh topics. The threads on "Zulu" and "Omega Man" were very interesting. I had nearly forgotten that "Omega Man" is one of the few scores that I love that I don't have. Marc NP: "The War Lord"

Chris Kinsinger Oscar® Winner	Marc, "The Omega Man" is a score that I am absolutely split on. I LOVE to listen to it (every time AMC shows the movie, I'm there!), but in many of the scenes it causes the film to be unintentionally hilarious! There's Heston in the final shot, dying in a pool of his own blood, and the music is doing a "Let's All Dance!" Samba thang that totally ruins the mood of the film. However, if it's ever issued on CD, I'll be in line to get it. NP: "Bicentennial Man"

Scorro Oscar® Winner	So Chris, is this a party and are you bringing the cheese balls? The deck chairs stay in place nicely here! Cheers! Sc_ NP: Crimes Of The Heart (Delerue)

Marc Flake Oscar® Winner	LOL Yeah, it's kind of hokey in places, but hey, it was the 70s. The melody (love theme) has been running through my mind all day with occassional spurts of the conflict theme (including the defenestration scene). What I would prefer is some Eastern European Orchestra to re-record the whole thing with a more modern touch. I hope this isn't sacrilege, but I really do think he score could use updating. Marc

Chris Kinsinger Oscar® Winner	Marc, I'll bet we agree that the very best thing about "The Omega Man" score is that haunting main theme, and its variations. There's quite a lot of early 70's garbage in there that no amount of re-arranging will help. Scorro. . .have we met? You certainly have me at a disadvantage, what with knowing so much about me and all. But you are just slightly incorrect about the cheese balls. LogieD and the late Guy McKone were the cheese ball lovers. I always brought the coconut shrimp to the party! Not to mention the hot crab dip. Man, you just made me hungry!

Scorro Oscar® Winner	Scarro! Either that's a funny typo or a well placed dig! Not a problem... , though typos aren't your style. I'm mainly a 'lurker' over at FSM; throw in a tidbit here and there (under different name) but mainly follow along. Whatever you bring to the party, I'm sure it will be good.

Chris Kinsinger Oscar® Winner	Dear Scorro (aka "vulcantouch" at FSM!), it's so good to be with you again, ol' pal! I corrected my spelling error (as always). Dear Scott, I truly detest internet abbreviations like "LOL" for the very reason that so many people have no idea what they mean! I never use them. I find them eletist and offensive. "LOL" stands for "Laughing Out Loud". That was silly, wasn't it?

Shaun Rutherford Oscar® Winner	Oh, and Chris, I too was confused by the whole "NP" thing. It's "Now Playing----" Shaun

Dan Brecher Oscar® Winner	Welcome Chris. Most of us jumped ship looooooooong ago from the forum that was MovieTunes. That was taken over by an evil empire, so we all came here, in fact I was the first peep to post a message (ha, and do I get recognition? Nooooo! ) Dan (UK)

Nicolai P. Zwar Oscar® Winner	Howdy-Doody! I have actually been lurking at this board for a while (and even already registered some time ago). It's a pleasant board with pleasant people, and the technical format is fast and easy. NP.: It's actually not a film score, but a Beethoven symphony (7) right now.

Marc Flake Oscar® Winner	Regarding internet abbreviations: Chris, I feel the same way about trivia contests, but that's just my opinion. It's taken me a year to learn all the abbreviations I have learned, some still stump me. What I know is that they are a lot quicker than typing the same thing off on the keyboard. With that in mind I'll stop using LOL and BTW (by the way). The only two internet abbreviations I've used on the board so far.

Nicolai P. Zwar Oscar® Winner	Thanks for the nice welcome. Chris and Shaun of course I know from the FSM board, and really the only reason I have not posted anything here before is simply that I am already posting (or sticking in my 2 cents, depending on your point of view) at enough places... it's getting harder to keep track of everything, especially if you also want to get some work done. But I'll be back for sure. NP: Miklos Rozsa "Ivanhoe" (Intrada)

PeterK FishChip	I am serious about using the "NP" abbreviation!! Use it or I will email you very large files of horrid elevator movie muzak from the 70s! Keep NP alive. It let's everyone know a little bit about you, without you saying much at all. PeterK NP - "Chinatown" by Jerry Goldsmith

Chris Kinsinger Oscar® Winner	OK, OK, PeterK! There ARE reasons why I haven't used "NP" in every post, but I promise I will never go anywhere without it ever again. Even though: NP: "60 Minutes on CBS" Isn't exactly what you want. . . GREETINGS, FSM PALS!

Scorro Oscar® Winner	Well, I'm glad someone cleared up LOL for those of us in doubt, because I thought it might mean "lots of love", no kidding! NP is a great way to discover what boarders really do like to listen to. It's the ultimate vote, what get's put in the player. PeterK, Glad to see your board gaining even more momentum. The attachable icons are cool; sometimes I wish there were more, maybe one with a 60's peace sign. Sc_ NP: Ride With The Devil (Danna), just like last night!

sabbey Oscar® Winner	Hi all, I am just another FSM regular, who decided to come over to the dark side! Just kidding. Anyway, with the FSM board being Y2K-ed all over the floor and whatnot the last few weeks, this is an nice haven for an film score junkie such as myself. BTW, this looks to be, as far as I can tell an great board. And I very much look forward to contributing, I hope somewhat useful posts. Let the questions flow!!! Sean Robert Abbey

H Rocco Oscar® Winner	Howdy Sheriff, of all people! Good to see ya. You can help keep the lazier among us posted as to whether the FSM board ever clears up. (I'LL keep looking, but who knows who won't ... ) Salute! P.S. I just became a MEMBER! I see it just takes over 20 posts. How hard is that! In my sleep, people. In my sleep. (And now TO sleep.

Thor, My Ol' Buddy H Rocco, and "Scorro", who I suspect is really "vulcantouch", but so far is being mum about it. . . This is GREAT! WHERE'S JOAN HUE? JOAN? JOAN?

Greg Bryant Oscar® Winner	Greetings to all, too! Like Chris, I am a regular at (or perhaps a refugee from) the FSM board. I've also been on the R.M.M. usenet list and the Filmus-L listserv. However, a hectic life requires one to choose their venue carefully, and message boards keep life simple without weeding out the old mailbox all the time (which must be generally reserved to professional uses). I see a lot of usernames that that I don't recognize from the FSM board, but some of you may be operating under alternate nom de plumes. Anyway, good to be part of your gathering.

Mark Hatfield Oscar® Winner	Hello, everyone! Just a brief note from yet another FSM board refugee. Someone there let us all in on the fact that you had a good thing going on....and like the party crasher that I never wanted to be, here I am. I have been scanning for an hour or so, and I like the warmth. I won't bother you too much (I am a "reads daily, posts infrequently" sort -- and am of course nowhere near as smart as the fine H Rocco. Y'all are going to love him!); I just wanted to get in on this good thing & thank you for allowing me to barge in. I STILL wish I had a cool name like Thor.
