In Topic: Hans Zimmer's Best Themes?

Ko-Ray, imagine this: there are 10 men raping a girl in the streets. There is a dude, with 50 friends, just passing by. He witness the rape, and decides to help the girl with his 50 friends.
Now, take the same situation, but this time with one dude passing by who is alone, with no friends. He decides to help the girl.

Who do you think is the bravest man? The dude with his 50 friends, or the lonely dude?


Interesting choice of hypotheticals...

In Topic: Should movies credit session musicians too?

You'll know when I'm complaining and whining, this doesn't qualify as that. And I do normally watch the credits out of interest mostly for where the film was shot. The music is a bonus for me, well, some of the time, guess it depends on the score/composer.

But are you watching them, for fuck's sake?


Yes, YES, YES!!! No matter how bad the film is, I always watch the end titles, usually for the music. "John Carter" had great end title music.

Anyway, some end titles can introduce some completely original music, so, often, they ARE worth sitting through.


I left during the John Carter credits, which I normally don't do, because the music was exhausting. The recording quality of that entire score is amateur at best, which is par for the course on Giacchino scores. Cars 2 may be one of the worst offenders of the last several decades.

Credits are too long these days, don't need to make it worse with listing the musicians.

Looking forward to Argo. I think the sessions are taking place this week, could be great...I hear Affleck did a heck of a job directing it.

Saw the trailer for this before The Avengers. For a Pixar movie, it looks remarkably uninteresting. Boring, even.


Yeah, looks a bit boring to me as well. Hope Doyle swings for the fences on this one. Looking for the next great score for an animated feature...

Wall-E still resonates with me...we'll see what Henry Jackman comes up with for Wreck It Ralph.
