It'll come down to what it always comes down to: creative consent, schedule, and in the end, money.

When you spend nearly a decade of your life creating a whole world of music, you never really leave it. I'm fairly certain he has Tolkien ideas in his notebook that he thought about from time to time.

It's his baby, OF COURSE he takes interest in it It's not like his schedule is bursting right now.

"Respected scooper says"

Supervising role would be desirable.

I know. Therefore, it won't happen. Not enough ostinati.

Just hire Shore's assistant, what's he called, James Sizemore, he can conform Shore's music better than anyone else I bet.

Is anyone else finding the 3D Mario games horrible to control? Didn't try Galaxy yet, but for 64 and Sunshine, the controls are so sensitive that it's incredibly difficult to control them the way you want. For 64's triple jump, you have to be so precise with pushing B shortly before Mario lands, that it's really frustrating. And the joystick is so sensitive with the movements that the slightest touch whirls you around. I've played the originals for endless hours, they were simple and a joy to control, especially 64. This is just painful.

They can't.

Oh my god.

GoldenEye beats the hell out of Skyfall. And if you put a gun to my head, I'd prefer the score to GoldenEye as well. Eric Serra's score has a distinct personality, whereas I can detect no such thing in Newman's.

No, I can't help expressing my thoughts. I'm terribly sorry for disrupting the peace, chancellor Palpatine. Since you're surely for the expression of all points of view, should someone open a "Hans Zimmer Dislike Thread", I'm sure you and the Zimmer clique will stay out of it, unless you have something explicitly critical to say? Since, you know, you're trying to forbid posting here unless you have something explicitly positive to say?

Time to appreciate that Zimmer was elevated into god-like status late enough to not spoil my favorite movies.

Had an exchange the other day with someone who said music theory was racist. "Do you know music theory?" "Not that much. I said music theory was racist, not the music!" That idiot refused to understand that the notes on paper and the sonic interpretation of them are the SAME FUCKING THING. That's the level of idiocy at work. It's easy for zombies to regulate and censor things they have no knowledge of or affection for. In fact, that's most likely a requirement. That's a nice little kindergarten drawing. Let me let you in on a little detail about "justice". Fascism is not inherently evil people plotting evil things for the sake of being evil. The worst fascists in history were driven by a burning desire to bring to justice a perceived injustice, projected onto a perceived threat, by any means necessary. There are no fascists that are aware they're on the wrong side. They think they're on the side of justice. Always.

Societal "injustices" are inherent to human societies. Everyone has a different intelligence, differing levels of skill, different upbringing, different motivations... If you want to have a society where everyone is forcefully brought down to the same level, you need to travel back in time to communist states. They always end in poverty, misery and destruction. There are no injustices in movie casting. At least there weren't. Now there will be, because you need to tell people "we can't cast you because you may have the wrong skin color for our film." Underrepresented measured by what? The US has 60% white population, 16% Hispanics, 13% Afro Americans, 6% Asians, 1% native Americans, 2% multiple ethnicities, and 0,25% Hawaiians and other Pacific islanders. Here's the thing: those ethnicities are already adequately represented, and I dare say even more than that. It doesn't matter, people will inevitably complain that the ethnic roles weren't big enough, not important enough, falsely portrayed etc. If this rule did not exist, nobody would have given a single fuck. Now, this will lead to even more race debate. Which is the goal, obviously.

What about Spider-Man 3?

It's the logical next step once you get taught to think of all white people as offspring of nazis and racists, whose history can be condensed into 20 years. If the loons followed Morgan Freeman's advice and just stopped talking about "racism", true racism, the few handful of people who are actual racists, would be gone in 10 years max, because it would be wiped from consciousness. "I stop calling you a white man, and you will stop calling me a black man". But that wouldn't further the goals of certain people. Actual, true racism is not possible in society, and hasn't been possible for an eternity. Anti-racism is creating racism because it shifts society's consciousness to racism, paints things as racists that aren't racist, and teaches minorities to feel oppressed about things they didn't feel oppressed about before. Like Freeman said, something like Black History Month is damaging, because it falsely implies that black people are still not equal, and moreover, kids grow up thinking they're born into a race struggle, while reality is that people of all color interact with each other on a daily basis peacefully and equally. And so is this Hollywood edict harmful because it implies inequality where there is none, and forces actors' and directors' and studios' minds into a framework of race thinking. And that's as racist as anything. Think about it: people fighting oh so bravely against race thinking, want all people to think about race. Anti-racism creates racism, by forcing everything down a prism of race, period. And if you think a predominantly white cast in a movie produced by white people, for a predominantly white society is "racist", then that's tough shit on you. The fake racism started when people started criticizing the first black president, and that was called racism. It snowballed from that point on. Imagine immigrating into Japan, and starting to call Japanese produced movies racist for starring an all Japanese cast, and not enough South Americans. "We can't make Shin Gojira Best Picture, not enough South Americans were stomped."

iTunes sucks.

So we know nothing about Lucas' VIII and IX, yet you claim they never existed, and that makes him a liar. Steep theory.

Most people can at most see how point A gets to point B. If at all. The people behind things like this see from point A to point M. Before point A is even made. That's why the standard answer when you say things that will happen is "I can't imagine that".

Ok this HAS to be a Mandela Effect. I was such a Nintendo geek in the 90s, especially with the N64, and played at the mall, at home, read three different Nintendo magazines, and looked through the available games for N64 at the video game stores several times a week. Until about 2003. And today is the first time I have EVER heard about and seen gameplay of "Indiana Jones and the Infernal Machine" for N64 that was supposedly released in 1999 by THQ. Now, maybe it was a US only game. No! It was supposedly released in 1999 in Germany as "Indiana Jones und der Turm von Babel". It did NOT happen!

Not just etheral voices. Shore isn't lazy.

They're as old and washed out as Zimmer's synths.

I so desperately wonder how Shore's music for Valinor or Gondolin would sound like. Extension of Rivendell's sound? Extension of Lorien's sound?

I swear each and every time I listen to Return Of The King, I find myself bewildered how a single person can write one iconic piece after the other with almost no down time in between and with all of them being on equal footing. Even Williams' best don't have that kind of ratio within a single film.
