β€˜Ferociously strange’ sums it up very well. Not sure I recommend following it up with Martin Campbell’s film remake starring Mel Gibson, but the rejected John Corigliano score is an entertaining (and also quite strange) listen.

I wouldn’t say no to an Alan Silvestri score either!

Is this also a good excuse to eat a steak like Dolph Lundgren?

A birthday shoutout to composer Marco Beltrami.
Known for his scores for SCREAM and other horror films, he has a very wide range, and has worked with Guillermo del Toro, James Mangold, Kathryn Bigelow and others.
Emmy winner and Academy Award nominee Beltrami is 59 today.

Revising the main title was absolutely the right decision. It just sounds so *alien* and makes the audience feel uneasy right from the outset.

Not wearing headphones on the train and blasting your TikTok/Instagram trash at 6:45am should be punishable by being detrained. While the train is moving.

The Jolly Fisherman tourism poster showing a jovial chubby guy skipping down a beach in his wellies with nary a care in the world. In this instance, everything has a reddish tinge, there's no beach or sea, just an expanse of red land under an equally red sky. The jolly fisherman is now Cohaagen from "Total Recall" (1990) whose head has swollen to alarming proportions as his eyes pop out of their sockets. The wording on the poster reads: "MARS IS SO BRACING".
