Addendum: SCORE!

Oh yeah, while at Worldcon cruising the dealer's room, I found a table where they proprietor sells out-of-print CDs of movie and tv show scores and soundtracks.  I flipped through them, looking for either Superman or Terminator (I have both of those on LP but haven't owned a record player in more than a decade).

I didn't find either one, but I did find a copy of the soundtrack album for THE SHADOW*.  Wow!  I wasn't looking for that one because, frankly, I had given up hope of ever finding it.  I wasn't even sure it had ever been released.

But now I own it and I'm listening to it even as I type this.  Yay!

*Yes, yes--I'm sure many people will think my taste is all in my mouth now that I've revealed that one of my favorite films is The Shadow.  But so what?  I don't care.  I like what I like, and I like The Shadow.  As a friend of mine put it, it has just the right touch of mystic weirdness.

Same here! I felt like I should have had more to say, but...there you go. Nonetheless, yes, it was good to meet you in person. You're no longer an imaginary friend.

And yeah, The Shadow rules! I mean, Alec Baldwin, Penelope Ann Miller, Tim Curry, Ian McKellam, Jonathan Winters, Peter Boyle and John Lone! Mystic Wierdness, pulp action, entertaining dialogue--what's not to like!?

Plus, the scenes between Khan and Cranston--talk about your slashy goodness! (And I'm not even a slash fan. But like Smallville, it's hard NOT to see it when Lone's Khan is doing his best to seduce Cranston back to the dark side.)

"You--and only you--deserve to be by my side!"
