Well, I sometimes wonder if a few of the board members are dead...

Axioms Jack seems to live by (inadvertantly or not):
Why he does what he does: "I chose this life. I know what I'm doing. And on any given day, I could stop doing it. Today, however, isn't that day. And tomorrow won't be either." Bruce Wayne, Identity Crisis
On Rasalom: "Water's wet, the sky is blue...and good old Satan Claus, Jimmy...he's out there...and he's just gettin' stronger." Joe Hallenbeck, The Last Boyscout

Well, Wap, as long as your wife doesn't chide you for being dead from the navel down, you're home free.

I noticed there are a lot of hard rock fans out there, some 80's pop, and I believe someone even suggested New York, New York by Sinatra. Last one first, Queen did a version of NY, NY hard (briefly) in the original Highlander.
I'm not much of an expert in soundtracks (the songs in the movies) and I'd probably get flamed for my picks. Scores, however, are another thing entirely.
Someone I would elect to score the movie (from a list of three total):
James Horner (Aliens, Willow, Titanic, Battle Beyond the Stars, etc) - this guy has done every genre that has been thrown out there and he has NEVER done a bad job. Picture in The Tomb, Jack fleeing from the rakoshi and the booming track of "Bishop's Gambit" (number 17 on the cd if I recall) is thundering as Jack makes it out just before everything behind him turns into a huge fireball. Eh? Eh? Actually have Horner repeat what he did for "Aliens" for RJ. He could do it.
Klaus Badelt. He's been the center of controversy since he's been accused of paligiarizing (sp?) Hans Zimmer's work in "Pirates of the Caribbean." (He was accused of copying music from "Gladiator" and using it for PofC) Whatever. Ever seen "The Time Machine" from a couple of years ago starring Guy Pierce? The sequence of the Traveller going into the future, the sweeping, grandiose music accompanying that scene? I think Klaus could adapt to an RJ movie quite nicely.
Lastly, and this is an odd one, Collin O'Malley. Superman Returns the Video Game. I have the soundtrack (I have friends at DC who forwarded me a copy when I used to review comics, mostly CrossGen and DC). Collin has a couple of pieces that (basically) are identical. "Bizarro" and "Guardian of Metropolis" I truly think would apply to an RJ film with a little adjusting to make the music a little darker. The whole score is good, and might even fit with timing into an RJ movie.
Anyone wanting me to share music, I have no problem with that. SHARING, not SELLING. I'd love to know what you all think.

The most merciful thing in the world, I think, is the inability of the human mind to correlate all its contents. ... The piecing together of dissociated knowledge will open up such terrifying vistas of reality, and of our frightful position therein, that we shall either go mad from the revelation or flee from the light into the peace and safety of a new dark age.

Sounds like somebody has been listening to the soundtrack to the 1981 animated cult classic "Heavy Metal". I'm partial to the Devo cover of "Working In The Coal Mine", Donald Fagen's "True Companion" and Don Felder's "Heavy Metal (Takin' A Ride)" myself......

Cthulhu for President!
Why vote for a lesser evil? I can think of none better than the great old one, who should return from his slumber to take over the U.S. government and make this country a whole hell of a lot better as the leader of our executive branch. Or destroy it and drive everyone insane, kill us all, or something really nasty! Remember, Cthulhu for President, why vote for the lesser of two evils?
A couple Powerman 5000 songs seem to fit in Jacks world.
"When Worlds Collide"
"Nobody's Real"
"When Worlds Collide"
"Nobody's Real"
Not sure the song is appropriate but
Monster by the automatic
Surely there is a place for Killing an arab by the cure - or is that too politically incorrect these days
Smoke on the water by deep purple - just as the ship goes down
fire starter by Prodigy (or Fire by Arthus Brown)
The first cut is the deepest - Rod Stewart - after scarlip does his stuff
(or Scar tissue - Red hot chilli peppers)
If the film is to have flash backs to the fateful night on the bridge - then Vengeance - New Model Army
And finally my most serious suggestion (just check out the chorus)
The Hunt - New Model Army
We went into town on the tuesday night
Searching all the places that you hang about
We're looking for you
In the back street cellar dive drinking clubs
In the discotheques and the gaming pubs
We're looking for you
You will pay the price for my own sweet brother
And what he has become
And a hundred other boys and girls
And all that you have done
We picked up the trail at the Seven Crowns
One of your cronies - he was doing your rounds
We followed him
Just a silhouette figure up market pass
Where the headlamps shine on the broken glass
We followed him
Over the bridge by the old canal
Where the shadows dance on the lighted wall
He stopped to light up a cigarette
And we dived into a doorway
No Police, no summous, no courts of law
No proper procedure, no rules of war
No mitigating circumstance
No lawyers fees, no second chance
There are lasses getting trouble on their own home beat
There are old folk battered in the open street
In this city of ours
There are eyes that see but say nothing at all
There are ears that hear but they don't recall
In this city of ours
So we followed your man back to your front door
And we're waiting for you outside
'Cos not everybody here is scared of you
Not everybody passes on the other side
No police, no summons, no courts of law...
And we could spent our whole lives waiting
For some thunderbolt to come
And we could spent our whole lives waiting
For some justice to be done
Unless we make our own
No police, no summons, no courts of law...

I don't know if I'd like the tune, but the lyrics say **winner**. Excellent choice! :thumbsup:
