(Slight side-tracking, but this really does relate to Trent, I swear...)
Is anyone else familiar w/Cindy Sherman's
Untitled Film Stills photo series? Basically, they're B&W photos (w/Cindy as the sole figure in them) that are set up to look like stills from a movie--you could
swear you've seen the movie it's from, but it's not from an actual movie; it just looks as if it should be. Well, the first time I heard some of the instrumentals on
The Fragile (especially "Just Like You Imagined" ), my immediate reaction was that they were to film scores what Cindy's photos were to movie stills. (Namedropping alert: I talked about this w/Bob Mould back in the spring of 2000 at the Throwing Muses reunion show, & he not only got what I meant, but agreed w/me.

) Ever since then, I always thought film scoring was something that Trent should pursue seriously, and what do you know...he did, and look how it's worked out!
Congratulations, guys! I'm happy for you; I'm even prouder to be a longtime fan; and I for one can't wait until the Academy Awards! *virtual hugs & chocolate chip oatmeal cookies!*
