volteratorListening to James Horner's theme from Star Trek II, I am left to wonder why I don't own the groovy restored DVD or bluray of that film, or indeed any version of it. It's a bit of a minor adventure movie classic. There's a surprising depth of feeling and gravitas in the original-cast movies I've always thought. Maybe not in the whales one.
More David Cronenberg movies - that's one of my resolutions, as I enjoy him enormously. There's something I'm going to call hallucinogenic clarity in Cronenberg films, where you never get the sense of naturalism intruding even when he's just showing three people at a dining room table. Watch the scene of three people sitting at a table in Eastern Promises and you'll see what I mean.

Also I love that I was able to find this scene then, off the cuff, just by typing Eastern Promises table scene into YouTube.
Anyway, that's it for now.
