Posted by Alexcremers on 07 June 2013 - 03:12 PM

 Music evolves.

 

But the fans don't. Right, fellas?

#908715 Blu-ray News and Bargains

Posted by Alexcremers on 07 June 2013 - 03:08 PM

In the late seventies, I was a huge Star Wars fan, so naturally I went to see Battlestar Galactica. To my disappointment, I saw a film that merely wanted to sail on the waves of the mighty Star Wars. I was, however, a loyal follower of the TV series. What can I say,  I was really hungry for sci-fi in those days. Most of it was bad though. The only filmmaker who could match the greatness of Star Wars was Ridley Scott. I'm still waiting for the next sci-fi master, someone who will rock my world all over again. Will it happen? I sorta lost hope by now.

#908087 What Is The Last Score You Listened To?

Posted by Alexcremers on 04 June 2013 - 09:57 AM

Revolution: John Corigliano. I hated the film when I saw the film in the '80s. The score isn't all that bad though. Very unWilliams is a time when everything was Williams.

#907396 Look Mama, No Instruments!

Posted by Alexcremers on 02 June 2013 - 08:02 AM

You don't need expensive samples or instruments to make music. This guy says "Michael Jackson" into his sampler and from only that sample he creates Billie Jean.




The Theme Of James Bond is even more (way more) impressive. Made with only "My Name Is Bond, James Bond".

Ugh ... dubbing!




#902436 Failed and/or awkward scoring choices

Posted by Alexcremers on 11 May 2013 - 08:07 AM

It tries too hard to be a science fiction movie.

First the colors weren't the same. Then the different music became a problem. Soon the fans of the 1978 film will demand that Cavill's face needs to be digitally replaced with Christopher Reeve's head. 


I have an idea! Let's adapt Williams' music and digitally add Christopher Reeve to Superman III and IV. We can really turn those into awesome movies if we... Oh wait.

 

 

Proof that vibrant colors and Williams' theme (the 2 laws for great filmmaking according to the average JWfan) are no guarantee for greatness.

Look how vibrant! Is that want you want? Really?

Ah, ticket sales!

No, it's written by the guys who wrote Ed Wood. It has no connection to Big Fish, it's based on the real story of Walter and Margaret Keane.

 

 

Aha! It's back on my list again!
