harrymcnallysblueandwhitearmy 1,704 Posted September 19, 2013 In this new, strange post-Christopher Sanderson-who-was-once-married-to-Susan era, I was wondering what the protocol for starting threads is? I couldn't find anything in the unwritten rules. I have no news whatsoever on this not particularly old or unwell composer, though I am a big fan of his evocative soundtracks. He'll die one day, I feel convinced of it. Oh look, it's on the front page. Will it be deleted, I ask myself? Merged with Eli Wallach, praps? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

harrymcnallysblueandwhitearmy 1,704 Posted September 19, 2013 We could always put those crucial Peter Tevis and Marianne Koch updates here too, of course. Three posts, it'll never get deleted now. Oh, no. Edit: bollocks, Tevis died in 2006. Who knew. Didn't get so much as a mention in those early DL days. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dr. Zorders 1,272 Posted September 19, 2013 In this new, strange post-Christopher Sanderson-who-was-once-married-to-Susan era, I was wondering what the protocol for starting threads is? I couldn't find anything in the unwritten rules. LOL I have no news whatsoever on this not particularly old or unwell composer, though I am a big fan of his evocative soundtracks. He'll die one day, I feel convinced of it. Oh look, it's on the front page. Will it be deleted, I ask myself? Well I certainly think the guy who wrote this is far more worthy of his own thread than someone who was married to Susan Sarandon. So whether you meant to or not, you've actually rather insulted the great guy by using him as a comparison to moan about the other thread (which I agree is rather shitty). Also he'll be 85 in November so I'm not sure I would say he's "not particularly old" either. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That said, Tim Robbins is in fine fettle and doesn't need to have his own thread.. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

My mother and her sister went to a concert of his two weeks ago. It was originally meant to take place last year but had to be re-scheduled. She enjoyed it, but said Morricone had to conduct sitting down sometimes. She wanted to send me pictures but forgot it. I didn't want to question her too much about his life expectancy. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
