Poll: Tintin extended edition preference

[Gruesome Son of a Bitch 6,488]

He's right, though. If I even attempt to listen to it, I need to eliminate the ZImmer sounding music, Presenting Bianca Castafiore and various useless underscore by Williams on autopilot.

I don't hear any Zimmer-sounding music in Tintin, but OK.

Bumper Sticker Philosophy:

I'd rather hear bad Zimmer music in Tintin than good Giacchino music in Tintin.

[Koray Savas 2,251]

yeah riiiight.

Oh your avatar is Eric Serra's Goldeneye.

Yes, your opinion is very reliable

Hey man it's signed!

Me neither. Confused.

Um... because they dumped Zimmer the moment they heard the first track and pulled in Williams? I dunno.

So much for Spielberg trying out new composers (not including The Goonies and The Color Purple).

[Gruesome Son of a Bitch 6,488]

Red Rum's Curse or whatever sounds like Zimmer.

[Not Mr. Big 4,639]

It sounds like Pirates of the Caribbean if it were good.

First option

As it is this is my least favorite Williams adventure score, but I feel the complete score + early sessions could change my mind

Then why did you not vote for it in the poll?

It's just not important. This score along with Crystal Skull are forgettable cookie cutter Williams. His heart just wasn't in it, although Tintin moreso seems to have all the trappings of the classic whimsical Williams fantasy/adventure scores. Unfortunately, it's soulless.

I disagree totally. I find Tintin one of the best Williams scores, showing of his incredible craftsmanship. His motivic work is intricate and inventive, total genius. Of course, not something that one hears with background listening.

I personlly vote for option2: first the main recordings sessions, then the most important altenates from the second session to fill up the second disc. With detailed liner notes, of course. Lalaland, what are you waiting for?

Say what?!

[#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 10,265]

Yeah I was wondering about that too.

I'm sure RedBard knows that Zimmer was not considered for this score at any point, nor will he be for any Spielberg film as long as John Williams is actively writing, or alive.

Humor. It is a difficult concept.

That's my line, stranger!

That's right. And even when Williams has passed on, he will be doing what all composers have been doing when they pass away.

That's right. He'll be de-composing

Dark humor + Tough crowd = X

Solve for "X".

[BloodBoal 7,538]

[RedBard 71]

Oh, sure. Restrict your comical pallette.

[Wojo 2,453]

The joke about composers decomposing is older than the idea of Mozart symphonies being played backwards in his coffin.

[RedBard 71]

Like I said, tough crowd.
