Author	Topic: Soundtrack art fun... a challenge!

PeterK FishChip	Time to get out your collections, 'cause I am on to something. Noticing the album art on two sequel soundtracks from the summer, the solo character depicted has his weapon in the left hand. 1) What two soundtracks am I speaking of? and 2) How many other CDs can you find depicting left handed armament?

Squiddybop Standard Userer	Can't really go to my collection since I don't own either, but I'd say you're talking about Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End and The Bourne Ultimatum. And here's one other lefty for you. NP: Mushi-Shi (Toshio Masuda) [Message edited by Squiddybop on 08-03-2007]

Richard Standard Userer	The cover of The Good the Bad and the Ugly has Lee Van Cleef holding his pistol in his left hand, and Clint Eastwood lighting the canon with his left hand.

franz_conrad Standard Userer	Here's another idea... how many versions of the famous PERSONA two-shot (two faces intersect at an orthogonal angle) have graced soundtrack colours in impressionistic colours? Here are two recent obvious ones: 1 2 [Message edited by franz_conrad on 08-05-2007]

Autumn in New York Sleepy Hollow Dolores Claiborne A Simple Plan Disclosure (Well, almost - if they'd only move their heads closer together, they would most certainly intersect at an orthogonal angle!)

Richard Standard Userer	P.S I did forget about the "impressionistic" component after the first few, and was then focusing more on the orthognal qualities of the covers. [Message edited by Richard on 08-06-2007]

Actually, it's a shame MULHOLLAND DRIVE didn't use as a cover image that still of the two girls' faces intersecting. That was a big PERSONA reference.

Here are two recent obvious ones: TALK TO HER NOTES ON A SCANDAL I remind participants in the orthogonal-impressionistic-two-shot challenge of the template we're looking for. Few of the above contenders are nearly as close to these as they are to each other.

franz_conrad Standard Userer	One that does satisfy the challenge is BASIC INSTINCT: http://www.moviemusic.com/soundtrack/basicinstinct As does DEAD AGAIN, in a very impressionistic way: http://www.moviemusic.com/soundtrack/deadagain And there's a hint of it in THE GOOD GERMAN: http://www.moviemusic.com/soundtrack/goodgerman

PeterK FishChip	Here's lefty Johnny English. And here's a Shadow of the Vampire. The eyeball has an impressionistic color, but is the angle orthogonal enough?
posted 08-06-2007 09:04 PM PT (US)

franz_conrad Standard Userer	Sorry FishChip - there're looking in the same direction from what I can tell. Some more: - Becoming Jane nearly does it... colour's too realistic. http://www.moviemusic.com/soundtrack/becomingjane This one's for the 'Also Ran' pile: http://www.moviemusic.com/soundtrack/eyeswideshut

PeterK FishChip	Ahh, I knew it. Deceivers is close but no cigar on both counts. Chocolat and Cleopatra have good angles, but lack color saturation and similarly-sized heads. Here's a choice left handed armament!!
posted 08-07-2007 12:37 AM PT (US)

franz_conrad Standard Userer	I reckon that CLEOPATRA one should count. They're not both in CU, but we're not going to find many that are THAT close.

PeterK FishChip	I Am Sam And again with Penn, but back of the head to the back of the head instead of face to face, in The Interpreter And another back of heads, House of Sand and Fog The first and third here have color issues, though! Done for tonight...
posted 08-07-2007 01:03 AM PT (US)

franz_conrad Standard Userer	I AM SAM... I'll admit that. There's so much brown-orange there that I'm prepared to call that impressionistic. The others are looking away from each other a bit though.

PeterK FishChip	More orthogonal contenders: Kissed Lolita Jude And a hot lefty, found in Maximum Risk
posted 08-07-2007 10:59 PM PT (US)

franz_conrad Standard Userer	I'll take JUDE (that's two for Adrian Johnston!) and KISSED. LOLITA is more suitable for cases where we're looking for 'covers where one character is clearly thinking about another'. You're getting good at this, FishChip.

posted 08-08-2007 07:14 PM PT (US)

PeterK FishChip	How much can you rule out by imagery of a simple kiss? There are many, but too often the color is too realistic, nor does it have that glazed look you are going for (at least I think)... Message in a Bottle looks like a keeper. Mother, but in B&W.... and doesn't offer the overall "feeling" of what you're looking for. More tries: Practical Magic Othello Original Sin

scoreguy16 Standard Userer	I've got a new one for everyone... How many freaken side shots of Tom Cruise are there? I think for pretty much every one of his movies we're only seeing the side of his face on the posters and stuff. Just had to share that... sorry... continue... Clayton

franz_conrad Standard Userer	An excellent suggestion. Perhaps we've covered most of the ground possible on my fairly obscure genre of artwork.

PeterK FishChip	Wait a minute! I was only up to "P" in the collection... and I didn't even start with "A"!!!!!! Ok, maybe it's time to let it go. My family has been wondering where I have been.
posted 08-10-2007 09:05 AM PT (US)

franz_conrad Standard Userer	You have an ordered collection? Mine is a random mess, sorted into two piles: 1. Those we don't really plan to listen to... and wouldn't cry over if lost to a fire. (about 300) 2. Those we want to go with us beyond the grave (about 1000) Beyond those two divisions, it's a real bugger to try and find a particular score.
