I’m changing my vote to TLJ on a second viewing. The highs were higher, even if it is less consistent.

We will likely never again get anything more than fine entertainment out of Star Wars. It’s a business model of an abstract and now even larger amorphous entity, not a wacky vision of a motor sport aficionado with mold growing on his face. And thats fine. You can get your fill and when you’re done you can unplug yourself from consuming the model. No, just critic and let’s English Major everything culture.

Screw all the meters. Critic and audience. Toxic aspect of the modern entertainment world.

Can’t help you there man. Sorry you didn’t like it.

You are on point. I like someone willing to take risks.

So New Alliance is basically John Williams aping Michael Giacchino aping John Williams. The circle is now complete. We have classy bombastic action music turned into mindless directionless bombastic action music with funky drums turned into classy mindless directionless bombastic action music with funky drums.

If anything, rather than adding more new themes, John needs to kill some. It’s a bit of a leitmotif shitshow! He no longer writes music! Just stitches themes together.

But dat Poe’s teme in the first track doe.... Wait is that Poe’s theme hybridized with the Resistance theme? What comes after it is clearly the resistance music. Johnny went beyond meth. I think he dropped acid. The first track is just a cacophony of motifs and themes.

Rogue One.

Some say Rian tried to poison the maestro's coffee. The hate is strong between the two.

That’s the best description of this score. He should do more meth.

I must be getting old and senile. It may all have destroyed my hearing, but I like this.

Four words: The Dark Side Beckons!

It’s rather good!

Gladiator is awesome. Film and score. Interstellar is awesome. Score.

The AKG K701/2 are the closest you will get to the HD800 actually. Properly amped, they sound about the same. The K702 have better highs in my opinion. Don’t be fooled by the low price of the K701/2 though. They will truly benefit from a good amp, which will run 200+. But Marian may have a different opinion.

If Danny Elfman had written a good score, this wouldn’t be a problem. It’s irreedeemable crap, he shat over his own theme, John’s theme, and even the Wonder Woman theme. By comparison, the popular reaction to TFA was hugely positive. It’s one of the best selling film scores in the last few years. This forum has to get it through its head that just because you have an orchestra and more notes on the page than average doesn’t mean your music is good.

After JJ ruined the mix of TFAs music by keeping it at whisper level, I’m going to listen to the soundtrack before going to see the movie.

C'mon, you know what he's trying to say.

Are you deaf? That's all you hear there? Westworld is pretty good. Ramin Djwadi seemed inspired by the whole show. Compared to Game of Thrones, where I think he might have just been pretending he cared to make money.

Really? Which part? Wait I think I know...the part right before the Imperial March?

The Walking Dead theme just shuffled through on Apple Music. I haven't watched the show in a long time, but damn if that main title isn't the most succinct encapsulation of The Walking Dead universe. And if I recall, it was always craftily blended into the teaser portion of the show. It ratcheted up the excitement and got you to drop your work/other activities and come watch the show. I have to say, I think it's my favorite. What's yours?

The brief for the theme must have sucked.

Day 3 - Nothing happened.

Day 2 – Bladezimmer In the second day JWFan begins with a traditional touch that recalls Giacchino, before sensual whistles take us into the realm that can only be called Bladezimmer. Today, we made 2.75 minutes of music together. Still ahead of the maestro, John Towner Williams.
