my 15-year-old daughter's friends always ooh and aah over our STLE but they play 2 or three games and that's plenty; they're on to something else. pinball doesn't have that steady dopamine drip that people are used to from video games and apps that employ behavioral psychologists on the engineering teams

there's an ice rink near me that has 5 or 6 games and the op sets them to 5 balls for a quarter just because he hates to see kids on their phones and he barely takes anything in

Quoted from Rarehero:

You DONT remember these?! Absolutely iconic scores & the films would not be the same without them.

2001 may literally be the most iconic score in history
the score at the climax of Aliens with Bishop piloting the drop ship out of the exploding base has been re used about a thousand times in other, lesser movies

fight club is trash not worthy of remembering
