RIP Ray Harryhausen. Patience and imagination is an unbeatable combo.

Four of Walter Murch’s nine Academy Award nominations and one of his three Oscar wins are from Coppola-directed films — The Conversation, Apocalypse Now and The Godfather Part III. Murch began his career in sound editing working for Coppola on The Rain People and continued with The Godfather Parts I and II. He received his first Oscar nomination in 1975 for sound on Coppola’s The Conversation. In 1980, he won his first Oscar for the sound mix of Apocalypse Now (1979) and was nominated for picture editing the same film. He was also nominated for film editing on The Godfather Part III (1990).

But note this. The following interview concentrates, not on Murch the picture editor, leaning over an Avid in a cutting room, assembling a film’s image track, but on Murch the sound designer and re-recording mixer. For once, the eyes don’t have it, and the term “soundtrack” is meant literally. It refers to every sound—to the collage of voices, noises, and music—that a movie-going audience hears coming through speakers, not just to a potentially marketable collection of music isolated from the film it accompanied. —Sound Doctrine: An Interview with Walter Murch [txt, pdf]

I’m trying to get a solid number on how many people I’d murder to own this. I’m vacillating between five and 13. I’ll let you know once I nail it down.

SEX • DEATH • LIVE TV!
NEW YORK CITY, 1951: The star of beloved daily television serial “Satellite Sam” turns up dead in a flophouse filled with dirty secrets. The police think it was death by natural causes but his son knows there was something more… if only he could sober up long enoguh to do something about it. This noir mystery shot through with sex and violence exposes the seedy underbelly of the golden age of television.
