The Music Thread

Joke I had forgotten about the Andrews Sisters. :lol: I think No Other Love could work too, I like the sad and dreamy sound of it. Speaking of dreaming how about The Ink Spots? The Ink Spots-I'm Making Believe The Ink Spots-Don't Believe Everything You Dream Arnzilla/Will Great banner, it must be Will's work, I don't know where you got the photos of Leo Mark and Ben but they fit really well. I like the lighthouse beam too-nice touch along with the barbed wire font. Very impressive :wink:

Arnzilla/Will Great banner, it must be Will's work, I don't know where you got the photos of Leo Mark and Ben but they fit really well. I like the lighthouse beam too-nice touch along with the barbed wire font. Very impressive :wink:If you give Will a half-baked idea, she'll turn it into a gourmet meal. BTW, anyone see The Orphanage? I saw an advert for it on TV and there seems to be a lighthouse in close proximity to the titular edifice.

There Will Be

Speaking of which... A Conversation with Paul Thomas Anderson and Martin Scorsese: “There Will Be Blood” screening held in NY on January 3.

I agree, the new banner is awesome ! Leo, is actually looking the age he's supposed to be in the movie, without having a beard. :P It's a pity that most songs I found that have a title that fits the movie are a little bit too cheerful. Here's an other one : The Pied Pipers - Dolores

Will Thanks for great banner ! :) Arnz Thanks for reply to my question... as well as... Anderson/Scorsese interview link Will What you thought they didn't have radios in the 40's and 50's :?: :?: My mother wants to know="Did you think they were still living in a cave ?" :roll: My song selection for sure ...for their dance together at "The Grove" and throughout the film.... As #1 it was a very popular hit by Tommy Dorsey during the war ..which would have been played when Teddy & Delores danced at "The Grove" #2 = It ..also....applies to Teddy's story as the novel continues... I'll Be Seeing You" I'll be seeing you In all the old familiar places That this heart of mine embraces All day through In that small cafe The park across the way The children's carousel The chestnut tree The wishing well I'll be seeing you In every lovely summer's day In everything that's light and gay I'll always think of you that way I'll find you in the morning sun And when the night is new I'll be looking at the moon But I'll be seeing you

What you thought they didn't have radios in the 40's and 50's :?: :?: My mother wants to know="Did you think they were still living in a cave ?" :roll: :lol: I meant that at the time Cawley/Teddy/Chuck meet, the storm hadn't started yet... so they were still getting a signal on the radio. The radio wasn't "out"... How to say it in English?? :? The Grove scene will be an excellent one for some period music, if they keep it in the film. And "I'll be seeing you" is a great choice... but it was also playing at the Grove in the Aviator.

Will Thanks for explanation about what you meant about 'radio'.... :roll: And...yes...since Marty likes to use 'actors' in more than one film....thought he could ..also...use some of the same music :) And...what is this...for sure Marty has to keep the first time Teddy/Dolores met in the film ( are you listening, Marty ? ) ...as to me that 'scene' his feelings/how he thought about himself...as well as...how she acted /felt about herself = is a 'clue' to so much of their personalities that we see 'revealed' as the book progresses. ORRRRRRRRRRRRR another popular war time song for that dance at "The Grove"...as well as Teddy's theme Ink Spots ="I'll Get By " ( as long as I have you )... Yes..I can see that song mentioned ' darkness and rain' as the song plays as Teddy explores "Shutter Island" "I'll Get By Ink Spots I'll get by as long as I have you Though there be rain and darkness, too I'll not complain, I'll see it through Poverty may come to me it's true But what care I, say, I'll get by As long as I have you I'll get by, oh yes, honey child, I'll get by Just as long as I have you And remember though there be rain And of course a little darkness, too I ain't never gonna complain, umm, umm Not me, I'll see it through Poverty may come to me it's true But what care I, say, I'll get by As long as I have you

I hope TWBB blows me away. I finally saw it. PTA is as infuriating as Scorsese in that after seeing one of his films, I don't know what to make of it or how I feel about it. Is TWBB an epic black comedy disguised as an epic morality tale or vice versa? I don't think Plainview is as de-*test*-('")able as I'd been hearing. He seems to be a family man who, at the very least, is capable of love in his heart, albeit in a twisted way (like the title character in The Stepfather). I noticed that DDL pulled a few Bill the Butcher tricks from his badass sleeve. In two major scenes from GONY and TWBB respectively (the Chinese Pagoda celebration and the church baptism), DDL would subtly pretend to chew gum or tobacco. In both scenes, his character is seething with anger just below the surface, so perhaps he's chewing his tongue. BTW, "I drink your milkshake" isn't as coolly quotable as "bastard from a basket." I love that one. But "brother fom another mother" made me wince.

I agree about the "bastard in a basket" line. :)

From an interview with Scorsese: Oscar-winning director Martin Scorsese is knee-deep in his new film, an adaptation of Dennis Lehane's thriller "Shutter Island" starring Leonard DiCaprio and Ben Kingsley, among others. And he's stumped. Just a little. "This new movie is set in 1954," he says in comic exasperation. "No Rolling Stones!" Fans of the filmmaker will understand his consternation. Long before directing the new Rolling Stones concert documentary "Shine a Light," which opens April 4, Martin Scorsese was associated with their music. ............................. But for now the director has to settle in to "Shutter Island." "I have some classical music in mind for this one. There's also popular music of the early '50s that can find its way into the picture that would help me out. But you know, it's pre-rock 'n' roll," he says, as if still mystified. "Pre-Rolling Stones. So I don't know, it's tough."

Well he made it work beautifully in The Aviator. He'll manage! :)
