I'm currently in the middle of S2 (first time seeing it), and I like it. Although I find it very confusing - I'm generally not good with names and faces, so I struggle to keep up with the plot. But I like the cast and the atmosphere - in fact, the latter reminds me of Twin Peaks (which the first season didn't, although apparently many see that differently) - and not just because of this moment:
Agreed with all your points. Season 2 has its faults, but I think it starts strong and ends strong. The plot is convoluted, and my only wish was that they cut out the Taylor Kitsch character and subplot. Vince Vaughn is the highlight alongside Colin Farrell, for me. People claim he’s miscast because he’s famous for his raunchy comedies, but I thought he gave a great performance here.
I absolutely adore the Episode 2 dream sequence and still rewatch it every now and then. It’s a straight Lynch homage, and hearing that from people, alongside the bowling alley scene from Fargo Season 3, is what convinced me to give Twin Peaks another chance years ago. Now it’s one of my favorites.
Now, True Detective S3 is another story. I struggled to get through that season a lot. Thought it was terrible.

Might just be a manufacturing hold up. If the factory they partner with can’t supply the materials, they can’t physically produce the CD to sell.

Didn't Zimmer once vetoed an expanded edition of The Last Samurai?
Well, they should've done that score back then because it's a Warner Bros movie and nowadays they're closed for business with the labels.
He nixed a Varese release of a score awhile back, because he thought it was too short.
And most recently he was publicly upset on Facebook about the premier releases of his early film scores.

It’s not an answer to my question, though.
I’d say very few composers don’t want all their music being represented on an expanded edition if being offered the chance.
And I wonder why HGW doesn’t.
No one is going to know unless you ask HGW. He probably prefers the album presentation like Thor. JW wasn’t even on board for a lot of things until Matessino became his trusted producer for such projects.
Zimmer didn’t want his early scores released because he’s not proud of the music. Could also be something similar to that.

I have no idea what this is (you have to remember that I'm the same age as your father), I only know the Shyamalan movie. The two samples shared here are OK. The latter better than the former. Is there anything more world music/ethereal, I wonder?
Both show and score are fantastic. Book One is a bit rough around the edges though. The show gets much better as it goes on. I hope they eventually get to the other ones.
I would recommend The Legend of Korra:

No, but seriously, why wouldn’t HGW want expanded editions?
It’s not that uncommon. Wasn’t Goldsmith notoriously against some of his scores being released at all?
On 5/10/2023 at 3:26 PM, Edmilson said:Yeah, since these guys don't want to be handosmely paid by expanding their work, then thank goodness almost every single RC score has been leaked, one way or another.
I don’t think composers are being handsomely paid for CD expansions.

Blumenkohl predicted this years ago. Music and math are very similar. I guarantee AI could compose a solid Star Wars imitation.

Do you like or dislike that aspect of it?
I’m fine with it. You can completely ignore it, if you want. The game lets you know it’s not expected for you to do it every single time. They built in a lot of accessibility features to make the game easier for those that want a different experience. There’s an “amulet of storytelling” that lets you customize the difficulty in different ways.

Is it true that all the battles in Sea of Stars are more easily one if you tap buttons at the exact right time?
There are damage and defense buffs if you time your attacks/blocks correctly, yes.

Starfield didn’t grab me like Fallout or Elder Scrolls. I’ve heard from podcasters though that it’s a slow start and is better to mainline the story first. Not a traditional BGS game in the sense of being able to wander wherever you want at any time. I’m very early in the game but don’t really have an urge to play it.
I started Sea Of Stars and been enjoying that a lot. Art and music are wonderful.
Before those two I played Sundered. Fantastic rogue like metroidvania. Made by Thunder Lotus, the team behind Spiritfarer, which is a game I fell in love with earlier this year. Beautiful hand drawn animation in all their games.

The polar bears were part of the Dharma Initiative's experiments that included teleportation when certain events happened on the island like when the polar bear skeleton was found in Tunisia desert, it showed the island was moving and sometimes local events on the island resulted in teleportation outside the island. Parts of the island were in ice (that wheel that Ben turned) indicating the island had also once been in polar regions.
The Dharma Initiative used the polar bears to turn the Dharma wheel, which was encased in ice underground. Moving the island caused the person/animal moving it to be transported to an exit hole in the Tunisian desert. The island was constantly moving through space and time, but I don’t think it ever wasn’t just a tropical island.

This is a very unusual list.
No Star Wars, no Indiana Jones but Cinderella Liberty?
I’ve personally never been a fan of Star Wars. The scores are great in their respective films, but I’ve never had the desire to listen to them in my free time.
I’m pretty sure I had Temple of Doom on my list at some point in the past. But Indiana Jones generally falls into the same boat as Star Wars for me.
Give me melancholy over bombast any day of the week.

This happens all the time in Hollywood, but it’s in the form of temp tracking and composers hate it.
A handful of auteurs do it well, such as Tarantino, Anderson, and Baumbach.
-
All physical media is inherently limited. Disney is clearly on its way out of the physical market.
But it’s nice to have secured a copy of what might end up being JW’s last score.

Wasn’t following this situation at all and had no idea it was a limited deal that sold out in pre-orders. Got notified it was back up for sale and ordered a copy. It sold out minutes later. The JW collection will remain complete!

This is cool:
(And here's a "reaction video"/"masterclass" (I think both deserve the quotes) by an opera singer who at least learned about spaghetti westerns and "Ennio Merrycony" in the process)
Thanks for sharing. This is an incredible arrangement.

This is incredible news, but still disappointing that it’s only Book 1. Nickelodeon stopped releasing the Korra soundtracks because Book 1 didn’t sell well enough.
Hopefully the same doesn’t happen here.

David Lynch did it first!
So Ridley Scott is directing a Gladiator sequel...

Ridley Scott has always had phases in his career with different composers. It just so happens to be the HGW era. I don’t think it necessarily means there was a falling out.
But Ridley is up there in age. I can’t imagine him working with Zimmer again.
