RIP Krzysztof Penderecki (1933-2020)
Gnome in Plaid replied to crocodile's topic in General Discussion
I think he truly was the greatest composer of the post-war era. I find everything he wrote phenomenal, even the post-1970 works that didn't get the same degree of critical attention. Didn't he write scores for a few films in the 60s? I was also under the impression he composed some new music for Katyn, but I've only seen the film once and that was when it was released before I really had any knowledge of his music. -

I hadn't listened to Call of the Wild before this thread, but I think it's now my favorite John Powell score. It and Balto are both fine scores (the latter's poor mixing and inconsistent tone aside), but Homeward Bound is a masterpiece. This, but Balto has the best single cue of any of them ("Heritage of the Wolf"). No.

What is the last Television series you watched?
Gnome in Plaid replied to Jay's topic in General Discussion
Rick and Morty. It's... weird. I'm not sure why it's so polarizing... It's not bad; it's not ground-breaking or great. It's just an above-average Adult Swim-style show that has mostly stupid humor but fairly clever storytelling. I have to say I'm looking forward to the future of the show, though. Being guaranteed 70 additional episodes could give them a lot of flexibility that other (probably more deserving) shows never got. Now if only Brockmire got that long a rope. -
16 Blocks needs a proper album release.

The 15 Best Film Scores Of The Decade
Gnome in Plaid replied to Koray Savas's topic in General Discussion
Wow... that is an awful list. The only John Williams score that even gets an honorable mention is The Last Jedi, easily the weakest Star Wars score. No Shore, no Mansell. Mica Levi gets a nod, but for Jackie, not Under the Skin? Swiss Army Man? The quote from @Uni in my signature feels quite relevant. -

Poll: The 100 greatest films directed by women
Gnome in Plaid replied to Quintus's topic in General Discussion
Two 2019 films on the list and neither of them is Clemency? Also, how is there only one von Trotta on there? There are a couple on there I would definitely not consider good movies, but they don't list Persepolis, Away from Her, or Bar Bahar? Oh well, 32/100 isn't bad I suppose. -

Howard Shore's THE SONG OF NAMES (2019)
Gnome in Plaid replied to Faleel's topic in General Discussion
I think the credits said it was the Montreal Symphony. I really didn't find the film cliched at all. Also, just showing any of Clive Owen's scenes would be a significant spoiler. -

I fell for the Peter Cushing edition in Rogue One. That said, the only one of these I found visually convincing was Goldblum. Lucas' voice was spot-on though.

Howard Shore's THE SONG OF NAMES (2019)
Gnome in Plaid replied to Faleel's topic in General Discussion
I saw The Song of Names a couple days ago and... it's pretty much perfect. It's going to be really hard for anything (even The Rise of Skywalker) to supplant it as the best score of 2019.
