-I like your idea for the score section. I think it could be doubly interesting because unlike a film which has to build it’s sound around the images, this could be a trailer that builds it’s images around it’s sound. It could make for some interesting trailers, for lack of a better term.

-I’m glad to see someone else agrees with me on Hurt Locker. I liked it okay, but it’s not exactly new or even terribly interesting. I had Inglourious Basterds, Up In the Air, A Serious Man and District 9 all as better movies. I also don’t really get why Avatar had such appeal, I would have been pissed if it won anything of merit, but, with the way things went, I’ve already mostly forgotten about the movie.
