95th Academy Awards (2023 ceremony for 2022 films)
Fancyarcher replied to Jay's topic in General Discussion
Some updates on this, but ratings are up from last year. I assume people were expecting another Slap, though? https://mobile.twitter.com/TheWrap/status/1635396633620889601 -

Volker Bertelmann's ALL QUIET ON THE WESTERN FRONT (2022)
Fancyarcher replied to Bespin's topic in General Discussion
It is truly my least favorite of the five nominees, so if it to win, was rather irritating. Listening to this score in and out of context of the film, the best I could get out of it was that Volker went a bit too far on the "farting synth sounds!" -

The other thing hurting is the pandemic effect in China. Probably would be doing a bit better, as it I'd say it's doing pretty well. It was never going to exactly match the first, most sequels to movies that break records like Avatar have, rarely if ever really do.

She did a lot of voice acting, and was in the Disney movie Snow Dogs, which I saw a lot as a kid. Also I recall her guest stint on Heroes. RIP and respect!

Attack of the Clones was released 20 years ago today
Fancyarcher replied to Edmilson's topic in General Discussion
For me it was probably the worst Star Wars, until maybe Rise of Skywalker - I go back and forth to be honest. It has some genuinely impressive sequences, even now, but it's the service of a lot of more melodramatic elements, and Lucas just isn't the kind of writer / director to bring that to life. It does feel way more creative, then most of the Disney movies, I'll give it that. I do have fond memories of seeing it in the cinemas back in the day with my friends, though. I'm pretty sure we lost it at the climatic Yoda sequence at the end, and I specifically remember one of my friends going "I guess that's why him the jedi master", when he started using his lighstaber. -
Very sad news. One of the pioneers of electronic film music, and music in general. Loved his work in 1492, and Blade Runner. May he RIP!

GerateWohl reacted to a post in a topic: Horner vs. Silvestri poll
-
I actually find Silvestri's work overall fairly underrated, at least in certain circles. There's actually some interesting thematic work in a lot of his scores, beyond the bang and clang loud action scores he often gets known for, however I have a soft spot for a lot of Horner's work too. Dude practically helped define my childhood, and his music is still incredibly resonate today. Bit of a draw, but I guess I'll go with Silvestri 1, and Horner 2, in that order.

Do you think King Kong (2005) is a masterpiece?
Fancyarcher replied to Bellosh's topic in General Discussion
No, but I do like the movie a lot, and think that a lot of the additions that Jackson and co added were really good. I just wish the movie wasn't so indulgent and three hours long. A good forty minutes could have been trimmed at least. JNH's score on the other hand is just excellent. I have fond memories of seeing the film in the theater with my family in 2005, too, which probably helps to add to my enjoyment of the film. -
Sure, I can do that. Drink up!

It's nearly 12 PM on the eastern border over here, so happy 2021 JWfan, here's to next year being better (though probably not). My New Years Resolution is to stop eating so much.

RIP to one of the most charismatic performers who ever lived. Also had a great career outside of Bond, his reinvention later as an elder badass was fabulous. He'll be missed.

Mark Mothersbaugh. Was quite surprised when I learned he wasn't scoring it myself.

Intriguing weird choice. I wouldn't lose respect for Jenkins over this, though. This is clearly him trying to do a studio project so he can get some of that sweet Disney cash to fund for own projects. That's just how the film industry works these days. I more depressed that Disney is making Lion King live-action sequel period, even though it was obviously inevitable, because of how much money it made.
