Pretension: on.
Oh good grief. First of all, it's not Time that the trailer uses, but Journey to the Line. Insert "all Zimmer sounds the same" remark here.
Secondly, what a load of rubbish about this Adagio thing. Simple and elegant? Trailer feels significant? I must be a heartless bastard because all that music did for me was cheapen the first half of a trailer I was excited about with painfully generic music. And Hoffa sounds cloying compared to it?! Is this bizzaro world? The on-the-nose, unadorned "powerful" chords from that trailer are the very definition of cloying.
Minimalism is fine. I like Zimmer's brand of it. But it has to have some substance to it, and not just be based around ubiquitous chord progressions that are "epic" or evoke "feels" as is almost always the case with anyone other than Zimmer trying to operate in his territory.
Pretension: off.

Rocketeer update:

So what are everyone's favorite episodes from the final 8? For me, it's easily To'hajiilee / Ozymandias / Granite State. Those 3 eps are about as perfect episodes as I can think of of a TV drama.
If I had to pick one, I dunno how to choose between Ozymandias and Granite State. Both are so brilliant for so many different reasons....

I hope it's SUGARLAND EXPRESS and that they've finally convinced him to do sign off on it. Yeah, I know, long shot.

I was completely at a loss as to why she was in the movie, in organic terms. I mean, I get WHY she was in the movie, but she didn't mesh well with the overall story, and by the end of the film I still didn't understand what her stake in things was.

Cool new interview with Roger Feigelson:

He drops some tantalizing information about upcoming Horner titles
So it appears we will eventually get The Rocketeer after all!!! SO HAPPY!!!!!!!

I was going to cite some of those moments from the DK series too (my favorites are the banter between Bale and Caine, actually). But those are largely moments provided by the script and talented actors. I don't know that I'd ever put the script for a rom-com into Nolan's hands. But . . . is that necessarily a bad thing?

The Prestige is my favorite Nolan movie and one of my all time favorites. There's a particular element I love about Nolan's aproach: even though it is a period film, Nolan never tries to shove down our throats that this is set in the late 19th century. No CGI panoramas of London showing us how the city was back then, no obvious elements trying to bring the point across that this is the 19th century. He shoots the movie as he would in a modern setting.

Superman Breathes: The Dark Knight Disintegrates

Given that this is a more "realistic" and darker Superman, plus what he did to Zod, shouldn't the title be Superman Rips Batman's Head Off and Shoves It Up His Ass?

It's a line from The Hudsucker Proxy.

Listen! Gary Sinise had his legs amputated for that film! I'm telling you!

BTTF is one of the best scripts ever written. Plus it's well shot and hilariously performed and the score sounds really cool in the film. Brilliant.
On top of that they made two more without fucking it up and that ended perfectly. I don't know what more to ask for, really.

I wouldn't call BTTF overrated, because it's just so *right*. And more than anything, it manages to at the same time clearly be an 80s film and yet not feel dated in any way whatsoever.

My favourite track is the lenghty I'll Do What I Gotta Do. The main theme goes through quite a lot of variations here.

I hate that zoom. It's used everywhere. Made me laugh in WALL-E though.

Liner notes by John Takis - his 50th (released) assignment!

The president looks familiar. Did he coach the mighty ducks?

Now, see? THAT'S a mature, intelligent response.
Obviously there's no such thing as an "official" declaration of what I'm talking about. And of course these subjects are open to general discussion. (I'm not looking to put a gag order on anything, fercryinoutloud.) It's a choice each person can make to be aware of the things they say, understanding that—with a touch of caution—they won't be the one who ruins an ending for someone else. That's why folks use the spoiler boxes and warning banners. It's why this entire thread has been separated from the others. You and Blume may not be bothered at all when you learn about the surprise early . . . but some people are. It's the same as anything else: you show respect and courtesy to others and extend them a friendly hand when you give consideration to their perspective when expressing yourself.
You can choose to be the better person by avoiding giving things away . . . talking around them . . . using the spoiler box . . . or even by utilizing a clever hidden message (one that had me laughing out loud!!!) to keep the wizard behind the curtain for those who want to preserve the magic in Oz.

All right, at my gf's insistence, I'm 40 minutes shy of seeing this on the big screen. The things I do for love.
