What will Spielberg do for his next film?

Of all the times Vader's theme appears throughout the original and prequel trilogies, which one is your favorite? My favorite would have to be the one in the beginning of "The Battle of Hoth" followed by "Aboard the Executor" and followed by the statement at the end of the credits suite of Attack of the Clones...

How come Jurassic Park still looks so good?

Another milestone people never seem to notice, was for CGI environments: in 1991 in Star Trek VI, all the over-head shots of the Klingon courtroom were CGI. -
Why John Williams did not score Goblet of Fire ?
BLUMENKOHL replied to atlantide's topic in General Discussion
As much as I enjoyed his score for Backdraft and Gladiator.... NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO. -
Christopher Lee followed by McDiarmid and Isaacs.
-
absolutely not, one terrible, horrible score. That was the album release... The music in the movie wasn't THAT bad.
-
Poltergeist, ET, and KHAAAAAAAAAAAN!! In that order.

Who will be doing the music score for the next harry potter?
BLUMENKOHL replied to Damo's topic in General Discussion
Why won't Johnny return? If he doesn't...Doyle. -
Tie between the Imperial March, and the Force Theme. They're both excellent but on opposite ends of the spectrum.

The Episode II score: is it really so bad?
BLUMENKOHL replied to Sandor's topic in General Discussion
Well I thought the rendition of the Imperial March in the credits track...the first two loud bombastic times and the last time at the end were superb. The best, only behind the one in "Battle of Hoth" and "Aboard the Executor" The Conveyor Belt, Yoda and the Younglings and even the Arena/Battle were all quite frankly..."not so bad" at all. -
Rate Doyle's score for Goblet of Fire out of 10.
BLUMENKOHL replied to Damo's topic in General Discussion
Actually I disagree. Whoaa. I don't feel like either of what people consider as Voldemort's theme (the three note SS motif, and the He Who Must Not Be Named theme), would really fit the whole Voldemort sequence in the movie.... To be honest, I think Doyle's rendition of the events fits quite perfectly... I don't know maybe Johnny could have come up with something just as perfect with his own theme...but from what I've heard of his theme for Voldemort...I prefer Doyle's approach. -
James Newton Howard: The John Williams of the 21th Century?
BLUMENKOHL replied to Sandor's topic in General Discussion
I'd hardly say being referred to "as the guy who did Star Wars music, right?" means you're well known by the general public. -
No Holds Barred Thread: John Williams vs. Jerry Goldsmith
BLUMENKOHL replied to Sandor's topic in General Discussion
You are still young, so you have plenty of discovering to do, As for preferring one over the other. I've never really understood this need in the filmscore community to try and decide which composer is the better one. Both have radically different styles and both use(d) a different method of film scoring. I'm glad the music of both composers has wound up in my life, deciding who of the 2 is superiour really is not a priority. Very well said... My priorities are enjoying to the output of both the giants to the fullest extent. Both have these radically different styles, and yet when you think about the films they've scored, you can imagine how each could bring strengths the other lacks to the film if they'd switches places. As for themes I'd say Goldsmith's Klingon theme is as memorable (as in having the potential to be remembered if heard alone, without the movie) and hummable as William's most remembered anf famous, which is: Vader's Theme...but obviously, Vader's theme will be much more easily recognized and remembered...because it's Star Wars.... -
Best Film Composer? IMO Jerry Goldsmith Best Composer? IMO Gustav Holst

I coulda sworn I wrote more after that. One of us must be imagining things. -
Clemenssen reviews Memoirs of a Geisha and GOF
BLUMENKOHL replied to Incanus's topic in General Discussion
To be honest I have to agree with Clemmy on GoF. Though 5 stars "alone" is too high. Try 4. Thematically there's not a lot of Williams level strong memorable stuff, but there's some very fantastic moments that really pull you in as you listen to it...though they often don't "stick" with you. It's grown on me the more I listen to it. -
