I like both GENISYS and DARK FATE and don't understand the vitriol they're getting. But yes, one should always be weary of industry people kissing each other's asses. Even if they're opinionated, uncompromising geniuses like Cameron and Scott, the proof is ultimately in the pudding. As I said earlier, the trailer for ROMULUS didn't suggest any visionary auteur qualities, but it still looked good. Can't wait!

That's fine. These days, however, this is SMACK in the middle of the type of music I like to listen to the most (especially if it has LOADS of synth). Give me a hundred smooth erotica scores over one orchestral action score any day of the week.

Well, it actually has been -- and maybe still is -- AGNES OF GOD. But other candidates are vying for the spot, like BLACK ROBE, OUR MOTHER'S HOUSE and THE ESCAPE ARTIST.

Sure is. Top 5 Delerue for me.

Yeah, it was a weird facial expression to use for the BFG. I'm guessing it's supposed to mirror the T-Rex roar on the other side, for balance.

Do you have a dog, BB-8, so we can compare for size?

I've never really been interested in erotic dramas and softcore, but they've spawned some AMAZING scores over the years. EMMANUELLE is proof of that. Bachelet's score for the first is drop-dead gorgeous (as is his score for THE STORY OF O in the same period....dig Myers and Zimmer's sequel score too), and Lai's score for the second is equally beautiful. And of course, Gainsbourg's GOODBYE EMMANUELLE has a great cult following.

Yes, great 'facilitator' for future stars. People like James Horner, James Cameron or Jack Nicholson wouldn't have had the career trajectory they did if it wasn't for Corman. Sad news, but 98.....those are some amazing innings.

He, he. Yes, that is a rather farfetched notion.

That's taking it too far. Yes, the show deteriorated over the seasons, but it still held some value. And the spin-off show, FEAR THE WALKING DEAD, kept its quality more or less throughout. While Bear & co.'s music was fine in context, it was not his shining hour or anything. And not something I like to listen to on album. That would be OUTLANDER, possibly BATTLESTAR GALACTICA.

Indeed. I don’t know what Datameister is on about.

Hehe. Yes. While I love Patton, Love Story blows it out of the water, IMO. But sure, yeah, I know it’s a big issue for film music fans.

People live in denial. It’s the name of the game.

LOL, OK. A 100-year-old Geratewohl hits the German newspapers in 2074, proclaiming that INCEPTION and INTERSTELLAR are NOT iconic. The world abides.

Indeed. It's incredible! As one would expect from Storaro, but I've always been curious if he looked to what was happening with Tony Scott and others at the time, with the tinted skies and all that (THE HUNGER!). I wrote a defense of the score in 2006, on FSM. Can be viewed here, for anyone interested.
