Oh yeah, both Fisher King and Zero Effect are terrific films.

Leave a post. Take the cannoli.

Okay, coming back. Jeez, Bubba, your tells confuse me.

Okay, I had time to chase a Chihuahua through the woods, back to the house and found and disposed of a tick crawling on my leg. Still no one is in the Hollows. I'll try you guys next week.

Hoods? Wha-?

I ain't got no kinda hood, Ms. Scarlet.

Um, sure.... why not?

Okay, I can't lie. I did a search on "Pokemon as Star Wars" and came up with that.

Zombies are dead now. Heh.

Um, where in the Hollows ae we meeting?

Zombies in Atlas. Haaallllp.

Okay, I'll come. Jeez, stop begging.

Just logged on Sesquipedalian. Heading to the Hollows.

That will be one meeeeellion dollars, please.

Robin Williams is better than Robert De Niro. There, I said it. Reason why I say this is because Williams could do anything De Niro has done, but De Niro can only do a fraction of what Williams can do. I can see Williams as Travis Bickle. Can you see De Niro as Mrs. Doubtfire? I rest my case!

Lots of stuff by Hans Zimmer has what you're looking for, particularly tracks like "The Kraken" (which I adore beyond reason) from Pirates of the Caribbean and "German Battlefront" from Gladiator. A lot of his score from The Dark Knight takes a while to build, but I quite like "Aggressive Expansion" and "Like a Dog Chasing Cars."

Danny Elfman tends to over-rely on typical sounds, but I really like "Hellboy II Titles" from Hellboy II: The Golden Army. "Introduction" from that soundtrack is also good. He was totally channelling someone else when he wrote the score for Terminator: Salvation, it's really un-Elfman, especially "Final Confrontation," "The Harvester Returns" and "Hydrobot Attacks." "Slaying the Beast" from 9 is good, too.

John Williams has some classics that might work for you. "Raiders March" from Raiders of the Lost Ark is great. Although the fourth Indy film was no great shakes, Williams had a lot of terrific tracks from it, including the march, "A Whirl Through Academe," "The Adventures of Mutt," "Jungle Chase." And of course, "Duel of the Fates" is Williams' modern classic, from Phantom Menace.

Similarly, the soundtrack from Star Wars: The Clone Wars (which I think is the animated show) is really terrific. Almost every single track is a winner. It makes me want to run around the room and pretend I'm a Jedi.

Ramin Djawadi did some cool stuff in Iron Man, especially "Driving with the Top Down," "Mark I" and "Mark II" and "Merchant of Death." He also kicked out the jams for Clash of the Titans, particularly "Eyes Down," "Redemption Through Blood" and "Release the Kraken."

Craig Armstrong did some great work on The Incredible Hulk (the most recent one). Standout tracks: "That Is The Target," "Abomination Alley," "Blonsky Transforms" and "Hulk Smash."

Michael Giacchino is one of my favorite current composers of programme music, so almost anything he does is right up there. "Nero Fiddles, Narada Burns" and "Enterprising Young Men" from Star Trek are great. Almost anything from The Incredibles.

James Horner also tends to repeat himself but so what? "Surprise Attack" and "Battle in the Mutara Nebula" from Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan. Naturally "Ripley's Rescue" from Aliens, and "Flying Circus" from The Rocketeer.

The Transformers soundtrack by Steve Jablonsky has a ton of great tracks, but especially "Optimus," "Scorponok" and "No Sacrifice, No Victory." (Odd how bad movies have some of the best soundtracks, isn't it?)

Don Davis' score for The Matrix has the very good "Morpheus is Fighting Neo," "Mr. Wizard, Get Me the Hell Out of Here" and the awesome "Freeze!"

Thomas Newman's score for Wall-E has great things in it: "Eve Retrieve," "The Spaceship," "Wall-E's Pod Adventure," "Tilt," "Desperate Eve' and "Hyperjump."

"Battle Without Honor or Humanity" by Hotoei Tomoyasu from Kill Bill Vol. 1 has become a modern classic.

"Scooter Chase" from Bolt by John Powell is super.

Mass Effect 2 has a good score: "The Attack," "Legion," "The Normandy Attacked," "Grunt," "The End Run" and "Suicide Mission."

Almost anything by the group Two Steps From Hell will suit you. They do a ton of trailer music and all of it is condensed awesome.

I don't like very much anime, but I really enjoyed My Neighbor Totoro, Porco Rosso and Wings of Honneamise. The last one is quite different from a lot of anime in that it tells the story of an alternate Earth's first astronauts trying to get into space amidst a war. Very much an old school science fiction tale.

Same deal with cartoons, but I actually quite enjoyed Spectacular Spider-man, which has good writing, excellent story development and superb acting. Bonus is the very good direction. Plus the stories develop over a number of episodes. Some are better than others, of course, but overall it's a definite recommendation.

What's the pool on me up to right now? What's it up to? What is it, three hundred dollars -- is that it? Three hundred? I'm a forum poster. I post threads in this little forum called Comic and Hero/Villain Culture. The last six years, I've been at Paragon City. I was a Blaster in my super group in the spring time. Back home when I tell people what I do for a living, they think, "Well, that... that figures." But over here it's a big, a big mystery. So I guess I've changed some. Sometimes I wonder if I've changed so much my wife is even gonna recognize me whenever it is I log off -- and how I'll ever be able to tell her about threads like this one. Sleestak... I don't know anything about Sleestak. I don't care. Man means nothin' to me. It's just a name. But if, you know, if going to the forums and posting so he can go home, if that earns me the right to get back to my wife... well, then, then that's my mission. You wanna leave? You wanna go off and fight Arachnos? All right. All right, I won't stop you. I'll even put in the paperwork. I just know that every noob I flame, the farther away from home I feel.

Please tell me you aren't sleeping with the thread.

King of Kong is also excellent.
