This is even more true! :mellow: and when they reduce Williams to that.. its very sad, he souldnt have done geisha but HP 4: Just stupid!

Even though I'm not the biggest fan of Geisha, my appreciation for it has gone up a lot lately, and I have always considered it a good score.

I would have preferred JW picked HP 4, because A) I prefer all 3 HP scores over Geisha (though CoS is close) and B) by picking HP, JW would probably have been putting 5 more scores on his plate.

But I respect that as a creative artist, it was more enjoyable to do something different, so I respect his decision.

Other, 60s-80s fanboys.

The ones who think every modern film/score is inferior to those in the past.


The crowd of people not knowing any music before Jaws is much greater 'round these parts. There's a great lot of treasures written between the 30s and the 60s.

All of the above.



:mellow:

Yeah. If I leaned in any direction it might be the extreme tweenage Potter fans that shower places like Mugglenet with atrocious grammer, bad typing, and shallow thoughts.



You haven't seen the Godzilla fans in action yet. ;)















I have another "other" choice, fanboys who settle for mediocrity.

All of the above have nothing on Hans Zimmer fanboys.

"Some men can't be reasoned or argued with, some men just want to watch the world burn."

A close second are Star Wars fanboys who can't resist to include a pointless, derogative stab at Lord of the Rings in every single point of defense.

Yes, I think I might fall into that category, at least for consoles (I play a lot of PC games too). But I have no idea what's in your avatar, I can barely see it.

I voted for one option, but I regret casting that vote.

The most annoying type of fanboy is the one who sees their world in a delusional state of black white exclusivity. The SW fans who hate Star Trek, the Trekkies who hate Star Wars, the SW fans who hate Lord of the Rings, the Harry Potter fans who hate Lord of the Rings, the Lord of the Rings fans who hate Harry Potter, the Zimmer fanboys who hate good music, the good music fanboys who hate Zimmer, the DC fanboys who hate Marvel, the Mac fanboys who hate PC fanboys, the PC fanboys who hate Macs, etcetera etcetera etcetera. Close minded fanboys are the bane.

@Wojo: stop being facetious.

I have never encountered a "Harry Potter fanboy" before (though I have encountered a "Harry Potter fangirl", who hated the films for the slightest deviation from the novels).

Hm. I do too, actually.

How about Williams fans who time and again state their appreciation for Zimmer and MV on this forum?
