    Odd people, who get offended by thread making on an open message board. 
    It's not trolling just because you don't like it. 
    God forbid we have fun threads instead of endless barrages of "What obscure score nobody knows have you heard today".

    Live performances like these, in the latter half, show that Hans Zimmer just can't orchestrate. Without forcing his chord-melody arrangement through an assortment of filters and ka-boom boosters, it sounds thin and hollow.

    Respect for his craft, his significant predecessors, and good taste. 
    All 3 of which modern film composers lack.
    Just look at Giacchino, Mr. "Joker is an all time great", or Hans Zimmer, Mr. Happy Jolly "orchestras don't need conductors".

    gkgyver got a reaction from LindaF in Andrea Bocelli: overrated or not?   
    It's awful when they turn opera arias into pop songs and call it classical. 
    I almost drowned in reverb when I listened to a Paul Potts album.

    gkgyver got a reaction from Mattris in The Rise of Skywalker SPOILERS ALLOWED discussion thread   
    No, of course not. I mean, why would the creator of Star Wars be present at the premiere of the conclusion to his saga? Preposterous. 
    He must have had better things to do. 
    So, the Star Wars saga ends with a blood relative of Sith Lord Palpatine assuming the Skywalker name. Excellent storytelling.

    Canceled my Dizney Plus subscription again. I wish I could purchase the old SW movies directly from Lucas without giving any money to the Commie Mouse.

    Obviously The Black Gate Opens. 
     
    The key to the brilliant accessibility of these scores is: always scoring the story, never the action. 
     
    That's where all new scores fail. Always staying superficial, never making the effort to go deep.

    So one JWFAN says to another:
    " What do you think if SOUL?"."
    " Sucks"
    " What did you think of JOKER"
    " Garbage"
    " What did you think of SOCIAL NETWORK?"
    " Trash""
    " What about Zimmer?"
    " Awful"
    " And you call yourself a film score fan?"

    Sounds like Williams doesn't want any other composer to use his themes with similar/same orchestration in sequel scores without him, Williams, being involved or approving it. 
     
    This may also explain Jurassic Park 3, where he collaborated with Don Davis, and every subsequent Harry Potter score not using Williams themes much except for a token appearance or two. 
     
    And Indiana Jones V. 
     
    Anyway, admirable, JW at his age preserving his legacy. 
     
    May be a good indication that JW is aware of modern film music and doesn't want that dreck near him.

    He may not be convinced the composer can do his music justice. 
     
    And neither would I, if I looked at Nicholas Hooper.
