In that it evokes Vangelis but also takes it in a new direction. It is notable, and important the mixture, in this grandiose use of the synth to creating such an immersive score. It finds this perfect combination, like the original score, in terms of creating this alienation, and beauty all the same. It also seamlessly interweaves itself with the old music to create a brand new creation.<br /><br />Anonymous:<br /><br />Garbo would have been much better, though a bit wasted in that it still was a lame part. Mason and Cotten also would've been better, though the writing was the biggest problem. Rains could've perhaps brought a bit more than Laughton did there, but not much given how superfluous his character's subplot was.<br /><br />Calvin:<br /><br />"I bet that's old Wally" indeed. Well I'd agree with that in that in terms of the direction there is a palatable sense of claustrophobia created in every little detail of it all. In addition we get an all timer moment perhaps from Howerton, though McElhenney is also good there, in his realization of Dennis's frustrations that are frightening, hilarious yet potentially even sympathetic in a weird way. It's amazing scene honestly though as in execution it is so intense, yet still so funny all the same anchored by of course the golden god.
