Besides Arnold was busy preparing the Olympics.

As much as Barry established what is consindered a classic Bond sound, Arnold did the same with modern Bond sound. Despite all the controversy surrounding his scores, I think most people find this particular blend of orchestral and electronic music quite fitting contemporary adventures of 007.

Why directors keep on taking their favourite composers on jobs like this just to let them produce carbon copies of their predecessors remains an open question (it sounds a bit more polished than Arnbold, though).

Arnbold?

Err... Hamlisch's score is largely Barry pastiche.

Not that there's anything wrong with that, but it's not good ammo for leeway in original scoring.

I've seen Alice's berries, they were very ripe.

Berries? I was thinking, like, apples and melons and stuff ...

To break the serious discussion and go to something completely unrelated, the Score has been pushed back to October 29th.

Maybe not, but they do have surgeons I suppose.

Homegrown is always better though.

Whatever John Barry you are listening to, the famous british one never wrote songs like NOBODY DOES IT BETTER or even action pieces like TANKER or french soft-erotic music like RIDE TO ATLANTIS.

When I hear Barry pastiche, I think of David Arnold, most definitely not Hamlish, who had a very distinct voice.

As long as they don't have too much pips I don't mind either way

I don't like beumps on melons.

George Martin and Michael Kamen both did a good job of keeping the Barry feel while doing unique scores. Hamlisch and Conti both did primarily their own things, though if the disco elements were replaced with orchestral one perhaps we would notice more of a similarity.

A tweet that has been posted over at the Commander Bond message boards continues to hype the score. From Thomas Newman's mixer:

Heading in to Mix, approx 1/2 way done. Got the mix through for an amazing cue last night. Tom has surpassed himself this time.#Skyfall

I really hope Mr. Coolman proves naysayers and doubters wrong with his score.

Posted

Tom has surpassed himself this time

It's like saying: Tom has finally composed music for the first time in his career.

kamens score sounds nothing like Barry.

I don't mean the sound of those scores were the same, but they kept the same basic style of scoring as Barry did. I think all the composers of the pre-Brosnan era all composed with similar ideas of how certain scenes in Bond should sound and how themes should be developed and the like. Then Serra came......

Dude, what is your issue with me? Did I run over your grandmother or something?

No, I don't have a problem with you, just... you realize people are going to ask questions when you toss out stuff like that, right? Coy "because I know ;)" answers doesn't really cut it.

And you've glossed over questions like this in the past (like how you knew the right order for Spider-Man before that came out). So yeah, sorry to be a dick, but apparently that's what it takes.

This is why I keep delicious secrets to myself these days. People like you.

Jason LeBlanc should join me in WOOSHING!

I just sent Jay a PM admitting my fault. I can be an asshole, but I'm not above apologizing for that.

Posted

I'll consult some medical journals and get back to you.

Posted

It's fair to say Loveless from Wild Wild West (movie) was an asshole, right? Or should I find better evidence?

Posted

He DID try to split up and auction off the United States..... this argument isn't holding water, is it?

Posted

What? It takes a dick to be a dick? Seems like a lot of JWFAN members are dicks, then.

EDIT: This post is the director's cut, with studio-imposed scenes of assholery removed.

Does the word assholery actually officially exist in English language? :D

Posted

If 'ain't' can get in there, 'assholery' certainly has a shot.
