The chorus and "melody" of the song are laughable.

I want to believe FotR is the best, but I have no ground to judge this on because FotR isn't available in the form both TTT and RotK are. Fellowship's first act is riddled with tracking and edits that we never heard the original intentions of. And because the first acts of both TTT and RotK are amazing and complete, I can't put Fellowship on top.

Is there a RCP personnel score he doesn't like?

Any experiences with StaffPad for iPad?

Until about 10-15 years ago, I would say film scores deserved complete representations on CD. They were musically interesting. Since then, and especially in the past 5 years, select sections from 95% of all films are more than ok, because they aren't worth the CDs they're printed on anyway in most cases. When film music was still great, companies threw albums with 50% of the music at most out there. Now that it sucks, they release shitloads of music because it's digital.

@Mattris Do you actually believe Lucas' thoughts and ideas about Star Wars have ANY bearing on the Disney trilogy? You obviously aren't seriously suggesting that, given that Lucas' displeasure with it are more than obvious.

Lord Of The Rings please. Like, really please?

Oh my god this discussion is STILL GOING ON. By the way, the main reason why this whole trilogy is irrelevant bullshit is that Episode VII didn't even BOTHER to try explain how between ROTJ and TFA, the whole galaxy could be overthrown by a Sith empire again. TFA was one of the most aggravating movie experiences I ever had, because it rips open dozens of plot holes and begs a hundred questions that never ever get answered.

A "test" where you pick and choose if you want it to be negative or positive is such a laugh 😂 Negative? Test again. Oh it's positive now, better quarantine. Positive test? Test again. Oh, it's negative now, but better quarantine.

It's not a "style". It's a lifeless piece of shite. A music editor could inject more energy with library music. Wow, what ignorance.

If he supervised and approved it, it's still on him that it's shite.

Johnson, Jackson, and Thompson? Who the HELL is that?

I begin to understand the old farts who got an aneurysm over the old Star Wars films being put on DVD remastered. I'm content with the original EEs, and don't need any update, be it Bluray, 4k, 5k, or special k.

His point is that he deliberately deflects by mentioning people that have nothing to do with the original topic of additional GHOSTWRITERS. Not ghostprogrammers, ghostarrangers, ghostWRITERS.

If a movie delay is your big problem, god bless.

I wonder when people will finally realize that nobody's intentions are "going back to normal".

Taste is subjective. Technique isn't.

VSL has individual instruments for download as well.

It's also the orchestration that's just empty.

I can't remember a single musical moment from the score. Except that Williams re-used one of the cues for City Of Gold in KotCS, so I remember the Indy cue.

All the "oh you" comments will flood in, but fuck it: the gunbarrel track exemplifies that Hans Zimmer is horrible at making orchestral music sound good and authentic. How can you make the James Bond theme fanfare, that is tailored for brass, sound like synthetic brass? It's clearly meant to restate the gunbarrel sequence from Spectre, but lacks all of its subtlety. Compare the two. Newman with the very slight counterpoint in the beginning to make the chromatic chord progression not completely bare bone, the light vibraphone in the traditional of John Barry, then the brass in call and response fashion, the subtle bongos in the repeated phrase etc. Then Zimmer comes along. Here's a bare bones progression, here's a bare bones dada DUN with bare bones in background, here's 20 horns blaring a single line, call it a cue. At least it's not in D minor.

And I was fearing the film would be yet another retelling of "Bond is at odds with MI6 but comes back". After all, that was only the story of the entite Craig saga. Glad this is absolutely not the case again. Imagine if Live And Let Die, The Man With The Golden Gun, The Spy Who Loved Me, and Moonraker were all about the same story.
