  1. The little that's been heard so far of this score is starting to grow on me. Still not very hopeful about the film apart from Ms. Stone.
  2. That's most likely because you think it just all goes down to things like Dragon Ball Z, Naruto, Sailor Moon and whatnots, when there is so much more than just that... Anyway, the one you're talking about might be Evangelion. Nah, it was The Big O. Awesome stuff.
  3. He's starting his set on B. So, B=0, C=1, D=3, Eb=4.
  4. "My girlfriend's a vegetarian, which pretty much makes me a vegetarian too."
  5. Nah it wasn't any of those. Damn I wish I could remember, I'd love to watch it properly.
  6. I never really got the whole anime thing, but there was one show that used to be on Cartoon Network in the dead of night that was really neat. Kind of Batmanish with giant robots, a creative story, a great score, and nice atmosphere. Can't remember what it was called.
  7. It might be one his most interesting works ever - very eclectic. In an almost Kubrick kind of way. It's a score of contradictions - on one hand you get several cold s-f cues that might alienate you, on the other - some of the warmest things John has ever written. All in all, very much out of his comfort zone. Check this out Quint (especially the stuff starting after 2:00 mark):http://youtu.be/ir9aHj5EZgU Karol That is unlike anything I've heard from John before, and if it wasn't for the signature harmonic strings in the background I might have mistaken it for Ennio Morricone. Undecided as to whether I like it or not, though. But that's probably just an unfamiliarity thing. Now listening to Shark's suggestion. Don't forget this.
  8. I have to track down the extended/promo score or whatever. But on the original album, properly chronologically ordered, the sequence of Replicas, The Search For The Blue Fairy, Stored Memories and Monica's Theme, and The Reunion is just unmatched.

  10. CE3K is a close second for me. The amount of intimate emotion in AI puts it over the edge.
  11. Stored Memories and Monica's Theme beats it! I don't know why I've never looked into whether or not there was more of this score available than on the original release. I just assumed there wasn't.
  12. I would expound on the reasons why Einstein is utterly indispensable to nearly every facet of the modern world. But meh. I'll just make this comment and that'll be enough.
  13. God it's refreshing to see someone talk about that film like that.I also dont need to defend my opinion of it. But I do maintain that my opinion of a film is of far greater importance then anyone else's...in my opinion. . I wholeheartedly agree with that. Don't mistake my accounts of my own experiences with films as assertion that your own experiences are less valid.
  14. I was just kidding Joey, as I had previously been half-heartledly whining about Gravity's marketing. DeMille's film is a masterpiece, the very embodiment of the now butchered descriptor "epic."
  15. That film totally misrepresented itself in its marketing. It wasn't at all what I was expecting, and I'm mad!
