Carl Anderson - “Heaven On Their Minds” (Jesus Christ Superstar; 1973)
Kinda makes you root for Judas just a little more.
OT: I love that they left in Sir Andrew’s tremendous piano clam around 2:21.

"Everything you EVER wanted to know about THE AVENGERS movie" by Todd Alcott
You think you know exhaustive? Friend, you don’t know from exhaustive.
This is a Siracusa-class tour de force—a kind of ersatz “Screenwriter’s Commentary” of The Avengers from a fella who obviously knows a thing or two about how good movie-stories get put together.
Me? I love this movie. But, sure, I can totally respect why some folks don’t. And, if you are one of this film’s numerous and vocal non-fans, I highly doubt that this article will magically reverse your opinion. And, that’s okay.
But, clocking in at over fourteen-thousand (14,000) words, I’d still say this particular epic exegesis of a narrative is well worth a read for any fan of movies, comics, or the surprisingly complex mechanics of telling a story with economy and flair.
Very nicely done, Mr. Alcott.

Unforgettable theme music and the awesome spiky orb that gave me nightmares for six months.

And, no, I’m not linking to anything but Netflix, because I’m loath to deny you the chance to go in with the same three data points I had going in:
It’s Swedish.1
It’s beautiful.
It’s really good.
Don’t read another word about it. Just watch it. Trust me.
