Romão

Opinions on The Last Jedi vary tremendouly of course, but regardless of that movie's flaws, Rise of Skywalker absolutely failed on its own terms. There isn't anything that the filmmakers can blame on The Last Jedi. They made an horrendous movie

I still think Zimmer's theme for Superman was actually quite good and very effective. And he gets extra props from steering away from Williams' approach. The themes written for Lois & Clark and The Animated Series, as good as they are, are clearly cast from the same mold and inspired by Williams' theme. Zimmer really did his own thing. And I find his theme particularly good in light of the huge musical shadow cast by Williams, which is as a definitive musical depiction of an icon as they come. It's my favorite element from Man of Steel, actually.

Maybe not in your neck of the woods, but I guarantee you Jota was far more well known in Portugal than any other of them. And the same goes for several European countries

Julian McMahon Such a slew of celebrity deaths in the last couple of days. Diogo Jota, Michael Madsen, Mark Snow, Luis Jardim and now McMahon

Teaser poster for The Odyssey

Surprised to see so few mentions of Empire of the Sun

The first book yes (which was adapted into two films). He's now adapting the second book, which is much shorter and should easily fit into one movie

I'm a bit fan of Villenueve, but I'd much rather see his take on Rendezvous with Rama and Cleopatra after he's done with Dune. Also leaves very little doubt in my mind they went after Nolan first.

What a wasted opportunity. The album is terrific, but the score in the movie proper is almost like a whole different thing

It seems to me it's pretty difficult to adapt that mammoth of a novel into a single film. I did enjoy the book very much, though

That was designed by a very close friend of mine. I'm hoping he gets some nice royalties out of this

Not necessarily, that could only be part of Paul's visions of the future or something of that ilk

It's one of my favorites. Gorgeous score too. The scene with the full moon always gets me.

The actress/model that plays her is from my hometown, actually

I get that from am studio executive's point of view. What i don't get is why would a creative be complicit with this sort of thing. It absolutely does matter. The end result is not all that matters. But in a world where the word "content" is replacing other names for artistic endeavor and output, this turn of events is hardly surprising. Listening to music is an act of communication between creator and listener. Remove one of the elements from the equation and I have absolutely no interest in "consuming" (and that's a deliberate choice of word) what AI comes up with. Like I said, it's not solely about the end result
