Like general consensus.

That Reddit must have some policy against new posters or something because my response to that idiocy from this morning is still only visible to me when logged into the account I specifically made to post it. Guess they're fine with that kind of amateurish dilettante crap but god forbid they don't filter out posts from new accounts. Anyway it looks like a few of you cleaned up nicely there anyway. Also Blake Robinson is a stand up guy but trailer music is what it is.

Early morning downtime today so I made an account and responded but it hasn't shown up. Anyone else hate Star Wars nuts?

Bit tiresome innit.

I doubt this instance has anything to do with snobbery, it's just idiots who want to appear authoritative about something they know nothing about. I reckon that happens alot on the internet, with many different things. Did you correct this moron, Stu?

That's one of the first ones I remember clearly as well along with Ghostbusters and BTTF.

Zimmer's two notes are absolutely iconic and embody just what he and Nolan were after. Quite an achievement for any composer to engrain such a simple motive in the minds of so many.

Another old fart doesn't like Marvel. Stop the presses.

I've mentioned you a number of times you attention whore.

Yeah I took note of that one too - obviously a sure hand behind it as in The VVitch but Richter's lovely unusual harmonies struck me more than another horror score that's often an encyclopedia of avant gardeisms.

Yeah.

Drax's hearing is beyond reproach!

He's left a fine legacy behind him, living on in our memories.

Did his husband happen to mention who Joe's CD collection will go to?

My reaction to this score is the same as my reaction to the film. It's not at all bad, and quite good at points, but the inspirations shine through really, really heavily, which makes it lack a certain amount of its own identity. I reckon the director had a lot of homages he wanted to make on his own as well as with the composers. Standouts are Terra Incognita and The Rings of Saturn which are both wonderfully fresh. The latter is some of the most harmonically crafty film music I've heard in recent years. Messiaen finding his way into a blockbuster. Resonantia is similarly impressive.

I take trains!

Anyone else thinking of traveling to Australia and robbing Drax?

With Malice Toward None

If you can't see that Signs outclasses all but the last one you mentioned then you're, well, Thor I suppose.

Last thing I listened to was a rough read through this morning of a large scale piece I'm working on for alto flute, harp, viola, and bass. After listening to some students talk at length about their own very innovative works in progress I was feeling like quite a square to be doing something so academic by comparison. Much to my surprise they found my music engaging and "trippy" so perhaps I've still got it.

Cooper...Cooper.

They're still doing Lost rehashes and they're still shit. Difference is the Robert Jordan books are pretty good source material and it's a completed story that can be freely adapted. Decent chance of it surpassing GOT in quality if they do it right, if not necessarily in cultural impact.

People still give a shit about this dumpster fire in all its incarnations, past and future? More interested in what Amazon will do with Wheel of Time now.

I liked this guy.

The TPM setpiece first, followed by ROTJ and the Sidious fights from ROTS.
