-- You smash your frickin' finger in a door on the way to mail off a resume for a symphony job you won't get anyway, but pathetically hope you will, so you can pay off the damn $35 printer cartridge you needed to drive halfway across town to get just so you could print off the damn resume and requisite cover letter?

Best Buy and Circuit City are the best bets.

malls are for teenagers.

Sad part is, I wasn't drunk and I still smashed my finger. It's all bloody and stuff.

sweet.

now I can give people an obscene gesture and have an excuse, not unlike a Seinfeld episode.

Your going to buy one of you favorite scores let's say episode one (just for example) and when you get to the register after an eternity of waiting because there's only one da** casher but after you get there it ends up that the price is actually higher then it says on the album. RRRGGGHH!!! It makes me made just to think about it.

Also when some used web store sends you the wrong release of a score like end of days soundtrack instead of the score.

John, if that's the case, it's your right to demand the price on the album, not the price listed in the computer. It's their error, they pay for it. I take advantage of those goof-ups as often as possible.

sometimes at Wherehouse I'll snag a used CD marked at 8.99 or some such, but upon the cashier scanning it, I pay $1.99 instead cuz that's what came up.

now who am I to argue with that one?

Barnes & Noble and sometimes Borders have some good stuff, but that's about it.

Djangos just sent me the songtrack (Parental Advisory!) to Set It Off instead of the Christopher Young score. Like, didn't they look at the rest of my order? I think they've done this with The Gift as well, but that had no cover art on display. I specifically ordered the "Original Score" for Set It Off and this is what I get...

Needless to say, I still don't have a copy.

JFK was the score that got me into film scores (and filmmaking in general........hey, at least it wasn't Bad Boys or The Rock). Have you seen the film, Young Mr. Little?

Wow,

what would I give to simply understand the taste of some people on this board....

Re: Djangos sending me the songtracks to Set It Off and The Gift instead of the score? Well, I got that beat today. I'd ordered a used CD of John Cacavas' soundtrack to Airport 75, and they sent me....

....a DVD!!!!!!!!

never heard of it.

doesn't sound like I need to be a part of their store.

Are they cheap? Is it worth the inconvenience?

Site's not too well laid out, but their prices for used CDs are pretty good - I got JURASSIC PARK 3, MUMMY RETURNS and Elfman's PLANET OF THE APES at around $7 each. Plus, if you order more than $50 of used CDs, you don't have to pay shipping, even internationally.

My first bulk order (12 CDs, $5 each!) arrived perfectly; all discs and inlays in perfect condition. However, one CD from my second order was sent out on July 30th but has yet to materialise. From my third order, one wasn't what I ordered, a second was specifically what I didn't order and the third wasn't even a CD, despite saying "Used CD" in big letters. So I'm a little cool on commending them to anyone right now; we'll see what happens about refunds.

I haven't seen the movie, so I am basing my opinion on what I've heard on the CD. I also don't like Criminal Law. I'm so sorry.

I'm happy people like it. I was just expressing what I thought of the score.

Richard, bummer regarding the Airport 75 disc... I love the theme on Intrada's Cacavas promo, and I've been debating on if I should pick up the pricy import CD.

JFK rules.

See the movie, man. Trust me.

Hmm. I never have seen JFK. But, any movie with Robert Richardson as the DOP has to be a pleasure to at least look at. Is it worth renting (widescreen of course), truly, Shaun? Defend yourself!

Just see the movie guys. You don't need me telling you how great it is. But, I'll say this again......I wouldn't be here if it weren't for JFK.

I watched a bit of Bad Girls tonight, just to hear the Goldsmith score.

There is a scene early on where Drew Barrymore is riding a horse chasing a runaway wagon. Two shots of her are just exactly like a shot of Maximus riding his horse home in Gladiator.

Oliver Stone stinks in general. Natural Born Killers and Any Given Sunday are wretched films.
