Oh is it his dad who's still alive then. I recall he lost a parent not so long ago, wasn't sure which one. From Gan Eden.

Arnold was always big into pop music collaborations and probably just enjoys working/hanging out with other musical artists over anything offered to him by the increasingly hard work Hollywood machine.

Well, amateur derpfake tech has reached its zenith.

Are you saying Spielberg's mum looks like E.T.?

Really? I'm not being glib, but in what way? At this stage of JW's career I imagine a mix between Warhorse and BFG, without the horse and the giant.

I think it's quite sweet that Spielberg would like to make a film tribute to his mother. Michelle Williams is great casting, I'm sure his mom will be flattered. I wouldn't go to the cinema to see it, though.

Is this some Facebook group where all the discourse is going down or it is literally just on Zimmer's own Facebook page?

I say that about superhero movies.

No, it's now 2008. Harrison Ford looks too old for Indy 4 IMO, but maybe he can pull it off.

Zzzzzzzz Although notable for being Jan de Bont. Remember how hot he was at one time? What happened?

I remember saying years ago in one or two threads that Zimmer's music will age horribly. Like Jean-Michel Jarre. In some ways, even Vangelis will prove to be more "timeless" than Zimmer's state of the art sound - meaning at the time it was written.

The first two acts were grimy and realistic, and then it suddenly became a John Grisham thriller.

Almost everything Williams from that era sounds like Dracula.

The genesis of the Cloud City theme from TESB.

It was alright, it had its moments. But I've seen better. I thought the twist and the way it played out was silly BS.

Your mom!

ET is at once personal and enormously epic. That's one part its frickin genius. Shore's Lord of the Rings is the soundtrack to an entire history of another world.

For me it's a toss up between ET and LotR. More than likely the latter, because the middle of the former is pretty boring (yes LotR has its own king's banquet of languid parts, but come on), but then again ET makes up for it with the greatest final act in the history of film scoring. So it isn't clear cut. But overall, LotR is the greater emotional rollercoaster of the two. For me it's the musical equivalent of a spring morning funeral, a wedding in the afternoon and then a full body Thai massage in the evening, with a happy ending.

Eh it's a decent thread, but karelm has made better.

Hopefully something with an accordion.

They should give him a shot, he's earned it.

You seen My Left Foot?

My reading up on the subject comes from Laurence Rees' superb book, and its follow up, highly recommended to anyone with an enduring fascination with those dark but still strangely relative times:

The extermination of the Jews by the Nazis was merely an economical solution to the original but costly deportation plan. Madagascar was at one point earmarked as a major destination, but it was quickly deemed more cost effective to slaughter the people instead.

Anyone else completely forget that there's already been a Terminator show?
