It's a lovely little score, that one.

Today marks the 30th anniversary of Hans Zimmer's finest score, BEYOND RANGOON. So I wrote this tribute article: https://celluloidtunes.no/beyond-rangoon-hans-zimmer/

I was convinced this was released, but appears it's only vinyl?

Ruin a movie by changing one letter of its title
Thor replied to Quintus's topic in General Discussion
Mmmmm.....cheese. -
Bizarre coincidence, as I'm just now rewatching all of CHEERS for the first time in many years. Sorry to hear about this news; I just saw him on Ted Danson's podcast, and he looked kinda frail. But he was really the center of that series, wasn't he, the only "normal" person in the bar we could identify with. Cheers to Norm!

Unexpected random encounters with the music of John Williams
Thor replied to Sunshine Reger's topic in JOHN WILLIAMS
Yup, and that's a fantastic video that I've seen probably 20 times. I'm as big a fan of Jack Nicholson as I am John Williams, and to have comic genius Robin Williams and shy Daniel Day-Lewis thrown into the mix, just adds to the entertainment value. What I wouldn't have given to be there. -

The MONKEY ISLAND and other Adventure Games thread
Thor replied to Jay's topic in General Discussion
Cool! I had no idea you worked in videogames. I knew it was some computer thingamabob, but wasn't aware of the details. Sadly, I have nothing to contribute in regards to Dave Gilbert. It's after my time, in terms of computer games. RON Gilbert, however, is another matter altogether. Related? -
The MONKEY ISLAND and other Adventure Games thread
Thor replied to Jay's topic in General Discussion
He, he...that meme is exactly what I think about every time I post something that nobody cares about (which is a lot of the time, either here or elsewhere). But thanks for relating the experience, Marian. Did you go to Dubrovnik specifically for this? And what's that funny, low-resolution sausage with a hat and tie? -
Gary Oldman is actually younger than Thomas Newman. Go figure. But Mike Oldfield, I dig, ever since I got the Elements compilation CD as a Christmas gift in the 90s.

Just came back from it. I'm torn. There aren't many of the crazy setpiece shenanigans (there are a couple of spectacular ones, but not one of the inventive ones we're used to from the past). The tone is more serious, more mythological, more operatic, which I suppose is fitting for a final film of a series, but it also comes off as self-aggrandizing a bit. Aruj & Godfrey's score is very much of the Balfe school, or rather the Zimmer school that Balfe once went to himself...it sounds more like early 2010s Zimmer than contemporary Zimmer, or Balfe. Some good moments, but also very loud and brickwally, of course. Decent film, but not on the level of 1, 2 and 5.

Favourite piano performances by John Williams himself?
Thor replied to Thor's topic in JOHN WILLIAMS
There was once a thread here on JWFAN that linked to some of those interviews (that weren't exclusively available at the Boston Globe archives), but I can't find it anymore.
