Back on set for our last Hobbit pick ups. Our last ever Tolkien pick ups, in fact. It's going to be an intense few weeks, but we're looking forward to shooting some powerful scenes with our great cast. Our next blog is coming soon!

#904626 Star Trek Into Darkness by Michael Giacchino (Varese OST May 28 2013)

You've both gone mad!  London Calling is a great cue!




#904588 What Are You Eating Tonight?

Posted by Jason LeBlanc on 20 May 2013 - 06:01 PM

Sunday I was up in NH at my girlfriend's parent's place and we had a cookout for Marcy and her brother's birthdays.

 

Her mom had bought local chicken breasts from a local farm and marinated one in buffalo sauce and one in italian dressing.

 

She also had a pound of local ground beef from a different local farm, and I made them into 3 1/3-pound patties that I stuffed with cheese and bacon (you start by making six patties, making a little pile of cheese and bacon in the middle of three of them, then taking the other three and placing them on top, and pinching the sides together).  I also put salt, pepper, and garlic seasoning into the patty meat.

 

 

Marcy also took asparagus (not local, of course) and tossed it in olive oil and balsamic.  I grilled up all that, along with a veggie patty for Marcy

It all came out excellently.  We also had a home-made salad, a home-made pasta salad, and a summer slaw and buffalo chicken pasta salad from the local Hannaford's

#904462 Will John Williams score Star Wars Episode 7? (UPDATE: "I certainly plan...

Posted by Jason LeBlanc on 20 May 2013 - 11:52 AM

Watch this video below to hear this exchange:

 

Kaya Savas: "So I have to ask, are you coming back for number 7, Star Wars, has JJ talked to you?"

 

John Williams: "I certainly plan to, and fully expect I'll be there and to be able to do it."

 

 

 

(Starting at 1:33)

 

Well there you go, it doesn't get too much more definitive than that!




#904389 The Office (US Version)

Posted by Jason LeBlanc on 19 May 2013 - 09:01 PM

Every show should only go on for 7 seasons. But it worked out well for the Office, season 9 was really good!


#904227 Star Trek Into Darkness by Michael Giacchino (Varese OST May 28 2013)

Posted by Jason LeBlanc on 18 May 2013 - 04:45 PM

OK, having seen the film now, I can say this with NO question: This is a very, VERY good score!

 

I disagree with others who say the OST is a better representation of the score than the first.   I sat there in the theater hearing cue after cue that was INCREDIBLY good and wasn't on the OST!!

 

The OST does a good job of covering the entire opening of the movie, and entire ending.  But in between Sub Prime Directive and Ship To Ship there is just a lot, lot, lot of GREAT music there that the four OST cues for that section simply do not summarize them well.

 

I went from being excited about the score from the Colosseum samples and WQXR tracks, to being underwhelmed by the OST and thinking this score wouldn't end up being one of his best, to seeing the film and thinking this is one of his great scores!  

 

I can't wait to see the film, to analyze all the music specifically, and then for the hopefully inevitable Deluxe Edition!

 

I'll post more about the great unreleased cues after I see the film again.
