The Death Of Film Music!

[JoeinAR 1,957]

isn't Jay z beyonce knowles baby daddie? I refuse to acknowledge that talentless bitch by one name, she doesn't deserve it. She's a skank and so is her "music"

[Quintus 6,495]

This thread is about Jay-Z and his movie soundtrack. There's really no need to acknowledge (bitch about) Beyonce to begin with.

This is like one of those overlapping square puzzles on Facebook. There are at least 17 rapper names hidden here. See how many you can find!

like Jello there is always time to gripe about that trash.

[Quintus 6,495]

Jelly is a great treat for kids after tea!

[Wojo 2,458]

I like it all the time!

[JoeinAR 1,957]

especially with peanut butter.

[Quintus 6,495]

Isn't that jam?

Where's that UK vs US English thread?

Gelatin is called jelly in the UK, but often called Jell-O in the US and Canada. It's a case of how a specific brand name is generalized to represent all similar products, like with Kleenex, Chapstick, and iPod.

Jam contains the juice and flesh of the fruit or vegetable, while "jelly" is clear or translucent, and filters out the pulp. In the US, both are called jelly. Elsewhere, those who speak English but still use the metric system will differentiate the two.

[JoeinAR 1,957]

looks like strawberry jelly to me, or cherry, personally I like strawberry preserves or blackberry preserves, both are condiments of the Gods.

Cosman has a point.

I'll let you surf on my originality if you wish, go for it Swayze.

Y'know, I don't think I've ever seen a case when someone's avatar and one of their posts fell into such perfect sync. Almost surreal to behold. . . .

So you are a dummie?

Mark Olivarez has a dummie....

[filmmusic 3,269]

We're walking towards the era where Lady Gaga will compose the score for an X big blockbuster Hollywood epic movie..

Sad....

[Koray Savas 2,260]

Is it? You all hate the scores for those already, what's the difference?

[filmmusic 3,269]

The difference is that today there are some shiny examples here and there. Few, but there are..

In the future there will be none! Good film music will be extinct to its core...

Well, that's what i think..

I can say that I've never been so happy that a thread went off topic, as I am for this one.

something crossed my mind lately and I think this is the appropriate thread to share it.

now, it's a bit morbid thought but:

if we (i mean generally film music fans of over 25 years old) - who appreciate good symphonic film music- die, won't film music of this kind die completely?

i mean kids of today are getting used to the "new" sound, so as they grow up they will never demand of anything of higher quality. (it's already done in a way. Most teenagers hate symphonic film scores)

So, we are the last ones! Isn't that dreadful?

[Brónach 1,330]

Most teenagers hate symphonic film scores

?

[filmmusic 3,269]

Most teenagers hate symphonic film scores

?

what? do you disagree?

haven't we heard of test screenings with films with a symphonic score that kids don't like?

or don't you know any teenager that is more into the contemporary "sound design-y" sound, than the "old-fashioned" classic score?

[Brónach 1,330]

I know my younger sister seems to like "old fashioned" all right. (From Jurassic Park to Ratatouille).

I just think you might underestimate nerdyness and the way teens today have access to stuff. In my early teens I liked stuff that wasn't strictly contemporary to me. I grew up seeing Star Wars anyway because it was "cool". The Star Wars I saw was recorded from TV. Today, I would have had access to almost anything on the Internet, and I would have developed an interest in film scores faster.

[Koray Savas 2,260]

If we're dead does it even matter?

[Jay 46,242]

Orchestral film music will never die.

The Symphonic Film Music niche was never that big anyways. It always was a small group of people who started loving this kind of music in their adolescence. This trend continues to exist today.

yeah, but then (I don't know how old are you), probably there weren't so much of this new type of film music. We all were accustomed to the symphonic type in adventure,fantasy films etc.

As there were no so much of CGI too, so we could appreciate older films too.

Now that there is so much CGI, if you make a teenager watch an old film with puppetry, constructed sets etc, probably he'll think it's kind of lame!

I see it all the time in youtube comments , especially in films that are remakes and people compare the old one with the new one.

Well, I disagree in that..

Otherwise, the prevailing film music trend nowadays wouldn't be the "sound-design", minimalistic and electronic scores..

(always I refer mostly to big blockbuster films in the adventure/fantasy/sci-fi genre).

Producers give people what they want so as to gain profit, so it seems the symphonic type of scoring isn't what people ask for.

[JoeinAR 1,957]

Orchestral film music will never die.

no but it will fade like the tides only to return again later.We have to get past this time of mediocre composers. someday talents like a Williams or Goldsmith will return, they are probably out there, but the current popular bunch are incapable of creating the truly great scores.

[A24 5,156]

The new generation will most likely disagree with that statement, Joey.

I agree with filmmusic, Star Wars brought back the late romantic style (and was a best-selling album) but nowadays it's the sound of Zimmer that reigns. Young people today look upon the late romantic style as music that was popular before their time.

[JoeinAR 1,957]

the proof is in the pudding.

[BLUMENKOHL 1,110]

It'll never come back in the same way. The romanticism of Rosza was very different from the Romanticism of Tchaikovsky.

The romanticism of Star Wars is very different from both of those. Music evolves.

[JoeinAR 1,957]

well considering all the plagerism by Williams, Goldsmith, Horner, etc, I'd say what goes around comes around.

[A24 5,156]

Music evolves.

But the fans don't. Right, fellas?

[BLUMENKOHL 1,110]

The fans are like a filthy stagnant pond.

That's okay. That's for the best. actually. More variety.

The problem is being frustrated living in the boring moment in between.

[BLUMENKOHL 1,110]

All languages naturally progress to be as efficient as possible.

Music is a language.

This doesn't work in favor of romanticism. That's why each reemergence of it is even more streamlined than before.

[JoeinAR 1,957]

all long as I can listen to John Williams, the greatest film composer of all time, film music will live.

[Quintus 6,495]

He brings hope to those who have none.
