That's GOLD, Jerry! GOLD!

We should all be concerned about the safety of Jerry Goldsmith, as he is clearly being held against his will by Evil Record Producer Robert Townson. I mean, LOOK AT THE PICTURES, FOLKS!

This isn't a drawing!

This is reality!

If you stop and think about it, it all makes sense. Townson was obviously on his last nerve, having to constantly hear complaints about a Varese disc being "too short" or "woefully incomplete" or "finally long, but too long". So, who can blame him for doing what Al has depicted in his non-fictional comic strip? Can you?

Critique: It could have been funny had it not been for the use of armed force. Our society needs to use more wit and less crude humor to make its point.

Just my opinion, please don't flame me.

I could understand people being "unpretty" toward the comic if Al had mentioned the following things:

a.) Those dirty, dirty Jews.
b.) Those slant-eyed Chinese.
c.) Colored folk.
d.) Crackers.

But Al didn't mention any of those things.

I'm laughing (and so is everybody else with a brain),

You know what's sad, Sean, I THOUGHT I had a right to an opinion. All you did was put words in my mouth (I NEVER called anybody an idiot in this forum). I decided to write a critique and maybe start some new dialogue.

It's unfortunate YOU can't just blow me off, instead you make things up about me and ASSUME I was calling everybody idiots, which was NEVER the case. I was just stating an opinion and observation, that's all. If that isn't welcome, well, I am sorry I wasted everybody's time and made a comment to begin with.

Since I am from a different period where crude humor had some point in social commentary, I was just pointing out that I think WE as a society laugh at things that make light of our basest and crudest views.

IN MY OPINION, making a joke out of somebody bbeing HELD at gunpoint (I don't care if it's Mr. Goldsmith, our President or whoever) when people are gunned down, shot for no apparent reason, etc. is just a sad commentary on the state of society.

Since you are obviously the board bully (since everybody's favorite bully, Ford Thaxton does NOT post here) I will no longer post anything JUST FOR YOU and go back to the other boards I reside on and discuss soundtracks and the state of the world without being HARASSED (no, I take that back since Thaxton will probably do that for you).

I am sorry I have offended your sensibilities and will no longer waste your time WITH MY opinions which were never meant to OFFEND anybody.

How would you have made it funny without some form of force? That's one of the reasons why the comic works.

Sincerely,
The Board Bully (newly christened by Taylor, who obviously doesn't visit here much!)

Now I've made something up about you, Taylor. Hopefully that isn't true, because I just made it up!

I can't think of any alternative.<HR size=1></BLOCKQUOTE>

Peter, since you are obviously a fair guy, I probably would have stuck with the beginning, but to be honest, I haven't thought out a better way to end it.

I guess since I can't think of anything, it's cool. I never said I had a better ending, only that I wish there was a better way to take the humor in a more compelling direction. Sorry if I was over-emotional about it in the first place.

Speaking of 30 minute scores, I think that I would rather have a 30 minute score, as long as the best stuff from the movie was on there, than no release at all. P.S. - I HATE bootlegs.

Also, didn't I read somewhere that Mr. Goldsmith has the say over WHAT is on his soundtracks and what is not? Anybody know?

It's a frigging comic strip, man.

Yeah, your right, I just found out about this place not too long ago and would check in occasionally to look at the boards.

As for wearing women's clothing, nah, I prefer to see hot looking women in hot looking clothing. It's hard to wear women's clothing when your over 6' tall.

Hmmm, now that PeterK has informed me about you and after reading some of your past posts, I get you...it's cool.
