I haven't heard (or seen) Toy Story 4. Toy Story 3's finale cue though is devastating and some of his best work.
-
Newman's Marriage Story is superb. The opening cue might be one of the best instrumental things he has ever written.

I am guessing we'll never find out what happened.

Why don't they just film in black and white instead of that yucky desaturated look.😒
It is Hollywood code for "this is a serious high-minded stately adult film". They have been doing this trope for over 20 years now. I think oddly enough Spielberg who might have started it with Saving Private Ryan. Since then the desaturated look has become standard Hollywood practice whenever they want to appear serious and grave.

Randomly this one from The Skin I Live In -
The strings are specially dramatic and urgent.

Those last few minutes are really dire, aren’t they? I was expecting that “theme” to actually evolve into something rather than just a crescendo.
It isn't even a musical crescendo. It's just turning up the volume dial.
Anyways, new clip. Only source music though -

Not the whole Spiderman scores but his main theme. It is extremely basic and simple.

So listening to it a few times, it is extremely basic, simple, and unimaginative.
It will serve its purpose in the film I imagine. It is just rising notes. There is no real sense of a memorable theme. These are as simplistic structures and figures as the ones Zimmer used. I daresay Junkie XL showed greater facility with melody in Snyder Cut.
First Spider Man and now this - both extremely simple (and simplistic) themes. Don't composers acquire more virtuosity with age - more refinement? Gia seems to be losing it. Listen to a score like Ratatouille for Gia starting out - bursting with melodies - complex, long-lined, nimble, many notes, fast tempi, counterpoint nuance, instrumental variety, imagination, wit, humor. Where is any of it today? He's like I have said, a heartbeat away from RCP power anthem level stuff. What happened?

The opening note also seems to anticipate the excellent Legend of Hercules themes -
-
-
So basically the stolen two note ostinato (from The Imperial March) is only the ostinato and the actual theme/melody is from 0:25 to 3:57 in the above track?

I guess the film being an ultra mega blockbuster bonanza encouraged them.

Is this legit or fake shit?

The Welcoming is sooooo lively. A barn burner for sure.

La La Land didn't even make much less at the box office than MI5 either ($450m vs $700m) considering one's an original musical and the other is a major franchise sequel.
I feel like Kraemer really only made an impact on film score aficionados, sadly. I've never really seen any mention of his score outside of JWFan while Hurwitz got a lot more critical acclaim for La La Land and First Man.
But still, you'd think getting the MI5 gig in the first place would have lead to more.
Think about this 1000 people saw MI5. 2 spoke about the music. 1000 people saw La La Land and 980 spoke about the music.

It's the same reason Williams works seldom these days.
Hurwitz scores in his films definitely have a point of view and make their presence felt.
He isn't going to do modern suite scoring - write some 8-10 minute sound scapes that the editor then edits in as needed.
So there might be lesser demand for what his approach, more so than his product. Same thing with Williams.
Working with a proper composer is a good 6-8 month exercise to get the desired results and most Hollywood directors do not have the ability or patience to even do that anymore.
-
Me too. A composer biopic is going to be scored with the composer's music through and through. There simply isn't place for a score. See Amadeus.
-
He kinda has a disappointingly awards-centric and box office centric view of his own oeuvre.
What are his passion projects? Or does he only like stuff that got him accolades and money?
And he's one of the few Hollywood composers working across the world. Yet has a Hollywood centric view of his own work.

Desplat continues to be effusive in his praise of Williams any chance he gets.

What would you say are your quintessential works? If you had to create a Mount Rushmore for your career, which scores would you choose?
... two Harry Potter movies, the last ones because I learned a lot doing that and thanks to David Haymen, who gave me the opportunity to score the last two films. Also, my proximity to John Williams meant that I could get closer to him, he was my idol, and he is still my idol.

This trailer is absolutely hilarious. They are promoting it as a Gal Gadot vehicle when it is not.
You wouldn't realize Hammer is in this movie from the trailer.

An Executive Producer credit basically means he's one of the many people who gets to offer an opinon. It need not be followed.
Also, executive producer credits are grandfathered into contracts. I would reckon about 50-60% of exec producers have absolutely nothing to do with the projects they get credit on.
