Yeah he was a homeless dude before he met his hot wife in a 7-Eleven doorway. She got his ass together and helped him with his big second start, she got his life back on track. Which makes his betrayal all the more shocking. 

It had its moments but the film fails to make any impact, it's strangely lacking in the necessary grand sweep and spiritual throughput one would expect of an epic journey story. It's just sort of scenes they filmed, put together in chronological order. Williams was brought in (and heavily relied upon as always) to stitch it all together, but he completely fails on this occasion. I agree that War Horse is a pretty rubbish score by his standards. The sickly sweet Last of the Summer Wine tone through the prism of a major American composer is the worst thing about the music. 

Because in the past they have given us some of the greatest scores of all time. Raiders of the Lost Ark, Star Wars, Lord of the Rings, Elfman’s Batman, Jaws, Star Trek The Motion Picture. Those are the scores that resonate. They are a listening experience in and of themselves. 
 
I mean come on. Do I want 30-45 minutes of minimalist orchestration or do I want a full on sweeping score full of memorable motifs & the odd March?(whatever happened to “the march” why did that go out of style?).
 
No one is saying Shore turned into a hack. Merely that it is surprising he hasn’t landed more larger gigs considering some of the projects he’s chosen(Twilight). 

Anyone else remember how much of a disaster the Titanic production was reported as being and how it was gonna sink big time? 

It's easy to mistake crap for shit.

He could do it digitally, and sell it for $69,000,000 

Sir Anthony Hopkins could do the poster and write the score, he does art stuff in his spare time. 

Picard was pretty bad, but as a none trekkie I found it useful for bedtime watching. Can I still be dead to Bruce tho? Oh go on! 

It's my current favourite, I love its pitch perfect tone. I wasn't even big on the Karate Kid movie as a kid, but this show is ideal light entertainment for me. The school brawl at the end of the second season was as thrilling as anything I saw in Game of Thrones and tbh I think Cobra Kai is low key genius. 

Philistines!

Dreadful show.
Almost as bad as PICKURD

I don't know if it beats its, but as my old man used to say, "variety in gifs of people being gunned down is the spice of life" . 

I like your old man, Lee.

That's the least interesting aspect to me. That all this presumed or actual work goes into endless banal regurgitations of blockbuster sequels, prequels and so on geared towards 12-year olds is a point that high-paid celebs like Zimmer conveniently choose to forget when it suits them - though he's the first one to admit the cultural downgrade, as evidenced by more informal interviews, especially with the non-american press. 
 
I'm generally out of here, as I think everything that needs to be said was said, even multiple times by the same guys, but at least I promise to listen to this Justice League thing to see if I got anything wrong.

The fit is petty, no doubt. But I see Zimmer's rants as an attempt to shed light on his colleague's line of work, something that is often misunderstood or dismissed on the lines of diverging aesthetic preferences. Everyone argues about this stuff like they really know what happens in the RC black box, and as if everyone there is just sleeping their asses off and rolling in dough. I, personally, have little patience for the musical banality of whatever little I've heard from JXL, but I can also admit that from a craftsmanship/production perspective (specifically with regards to his sound), what he does is not at all easy. And my understanding is that Zimmer's lashing out had more to do with tackling those existing biases around many of his colleagues than the 4 hour album, which I'm sure even he probably found excessive.
 
And before we start conflating issues. This is separate from the general industry malpractice and negligences that happen around RC, especially the people at the bottom of the chain...and yes, it seems to mostly be a music making factory, with any of the creative work only really happening at the very top of the RC hierarchy, if you're ever get lucky enough to make it there. But that goes for most of the corporate music industry at large. And I'm not defending any of that. And while bullying people on Facebook comments sections is certainly not the answer, I can at least understand where some of his frustrated outbursts might be rooted in.
