It's different, radically, which is good.

His voice is what it is at this point. He works it in well but the music is the real selling point. This version has a completely different vibe. Older, darker, less energetic. Suitable for a gloomy late night listen. Usually a remake of a song is like the Gilmour version, cosmetic changes, typically of an inferior nature. Or they just do it acoustic.

This is so different it constitutes a completely new song. It's noticeable how there appears to be no guitar at all. The hatred for Gilmour is still burning passionately in Roger's heart.

It's a great song with a lot of potential.

If you last saw him in 1993 you could be excused I guess!

Nailed the scream is VERY generous!

Terminator 2

James Cameron is a very good film maker. He has a godly talent for entertainment and his action sequences are in a league of their own. When I was growing up this movie was the bomb. To a teenager's eyes it had everything you could wish for in a visual experience.

As a grown man however I sense some weaknesses. While the action set pieces still remain as strong as ever, and the sound design and musical scores often work in perfect tandem, the storyline, characters and universe building have some glaring flaws. Cameron is a talented man, professional and driven, but his cultural capital is poor and his need for fame and success get in the way of his creative vision. When he directs action he is flowing freely, but when writing characters and stories he is derivative and superficial. It's as if he does not trust his own inner artist in these aspects, opting to go for safe and trodden routes. The contrast to his action sequences, which are both original and inspired, is quite obvious. He goes from perfection in one scene to heavy handed messaging in the next. His culture, as it is, is decidedly modern with little else to support his foundations. To a child or a young man this may appear interesting, but to mature men it feels rudimentary and childish. In his private life he does not appear to be a humble man. He is arrogant, and I dare say the type of arrogance that is borne from ignorance. I respect his talents but not his character. Terminator 3, while inferior in every other way, is actually a lot more interesting and realistic in how the characters are built and in the interpretation of the source material. The ending is the best of the whole series, while in Judgement Day it may be the worst.
