Most are probably Seinfeld related.

Maybe I'm monstrous and unfeeling but his brand of drink fueled controversy doesn't faze me much. I know the adages about alcohol/truth but it's a case where I'm wiling to take the sum of a person's positive demeanor and actions over the rest. I don't apply that leniency to the consistently vicious, abusive, exploitative, predatory, of which there are too many examples, even just those I've seen firsthand, to summon more than a finger wag out of me towards Mel's mean drunk moments.

That's a stunning piece.

It's worse than most things but actually might be better than Into Darkness.

Agreed, I am glad to see that it is becoming ok again "around town" to support him as I always have. As far as Hollywooders with issues go I think he is very low on the list of those in need of icing out.

The Asteroid Field is great but the Coruscant chase is totally ace. I definitely prefer it to most of his earlier action sequences. There's an overwhelming sense that the music is just pouring out of him and it is groovy as fuck.

Anyone else think Generations is not only the best looking one, but the most emblematic of everything missing from modern Star Trek? It's really the antithesis of the Prime timeline movies. It's also better than Star Wars movies.

Generations is the best looking Trek film. The Enterprise was never so inviting.

LOL at least you wrote this post yourself instead of having it ghostwritten like Zimmer LOL

Spielberg's craft is rarely in doubt but Christ he is a drag and a half in these recent heavy American tales. Lincoln was all he needed to say.

As you know, no more correct than my original post. Both composers in fact present very finalized material to their orchestrators.

I'm loathe to participate in a Josh500 thread but The Book Thief is the clear winner. It has elegance. The BFG is just typical Spielberg fluff with little that wasn't done better in other scores, and The Post is about as interesting as the score to that movie can be.

Always a pleasure when hornist shows up.

Always love when some pretentious twats rightly whine about snobbery against film music and then cannibalize their own in the same sentence. Perspective is a thing.

That's not what I meant.

Skylar...there's rot.

Man it's not as funny when nobody takes the bait.

I'm confused. Doesn't JW just write out some basic piano structure and pass it off to others to be fully orchestrated?

It's worth it for the 3rd and 4th.

Anyone else rarely watch new movies anymore?

That shit is the MAD notes, handed down by god herself to the greatest composer in the world. James motherfucking Horner!

It's music. You dance to it.

Anyone else remember when Cremers was very passionate about that "kind of hot" line from MOS?

It's a stagnating industry/art form. That's what makes me feel apathetic about it. The good stuff still does it for me.
