    God bless if you can talk yourself into believing a 2008 Hans Zimmer score is different from a 2020 Hans Zimmer score.

    gkgyver got a reaction from LindaF in Andrea Bocelli: overrated or not?   
    It's awful when they turn opera arias into pop songs and call it classical. 
    I almost drowned in reverb when I listened to a Paul Potts album.

    Um, I never sing off-key, but I wouldn't dream of doing it as a profession or improving my limited skills. Perfectly happy humming the burglar theme from Home Alone in the shower.

    People listen to the song?! 
     
     
    I asked Neil about this a few years ago and the answer was that (surprisingly), the orchestra-only versions no longer exist.

    If so, why would there be more electronics on expanded album than in the actual film?

    I disagree. 
    Arnold saw Die Another Day exactly for what it was, a horribly over the top Bond pastiche. A dramatic approach like the predecessor TWINE would never have worked, so he went all out with the over the top cheekiness, the electronics, and the choir. This never was meant to be taken that serious. 
     
    David Arnold doesn't get enough credit for changing the tone of the music for the change to Daniel Craig.
     
    Thomas Newman's scoring was just spineless. He didn't have the balls to stand out like you need to in a Bond movie.

    Meanwhile A Quantum of Solace is the ultimate modern Bond score to me. To me Arnold became better with each new Bond score. Too bad that he didn't continue.

    Miles better than anything in the last two Newman scores. Far and beyond anything in those, and better than the entirety of Zimmer's. I'm completely serious. 
     
    And fuck off with "you haven't heard it yet".

    What's the fucking difference? Zimmer or Mazzarro or Mazzimmer or Zimzarro, the result will sound the absolute same, with a few guitar solos thrown in. Like in the awkward gunbarrel.

    Apologies if this was already shared. 
    David Arnold’s music for this N. Peal commercial from 2019. I didn’t know about this until now. 
     
    Man that guy really wants another crack at Bond.
     
    Regardless. I’m looking forward to hearing Zimmers score.

    The concept of this self-wanking Snyder project is completely absurd to me. 
    Here's a shitty movie, I have an idea, let's spend some more millions on it and make it two hours longer!

    Martin Freeman's small toe is more entertaining than the Star Wars prequels. 
    The Hobbit has legitimately good actors, characters, and lines. 
    Episodes I-III are high school plays.
