    A dog turd, scrapped of the boots of a construction worker on dropped on the keys of a piano as a sick prank would have been a better choice then Zimmer.

    Seriously?

    I honestly don't think that this movie needs sequels.

    Alvar, all the film versions are simply adaptations, they aren't meant as an expansion of the literary universe in any way.
    Nor are the films made by different filmmakers intended to be part of the same internal universe.

    Definitely not new, I think that info was dropped at the European SW Celebration last year, or even before that.
    The effects of this have been evident already. A number of novels have been scrapped or "indefinitely delayed," all of which would be in the timeline affected by an Episode VII/VIII/IX. The books that remain on the slate (and all of the books released since the Disney acquisition except for one) take place in "safe" time periods - during the original trilogy, prior to the prequels.

    There are too many Sherlock threads! I'm sick of having to wade through so many threads! It hurts my finger! I also want threads about certain topics that I have no interest in creating but no one else will create them either!
    Ok, I'm done.

    PJ's cameo is like a Hitchcock cameo. Obvious and ment to be fun.

    Great episode. There was a bit in the middle where I thought it was going to fall flat on its face but it saved it self beautifully. Probably Cumberbatch's best performance as Sherlock and that's saying something.
    The dubstep version of the Sherlock theme!

    Bilbo reacted to Wycket in X-Men: Days of Future Past (2014 film directed by Bryan Singer)   
    The X-Men were made as a way for writers to express their frustration by the Comics Code Authority and the strict rules it imposed on what could and couldn't be discussed. By using "mutants" in place of a number of different oppressed groups, writers were allowed to tackle more weighty issues and instill young audiences with new ideas. This has always been the X-Men story telling by and large, and the fact that the movies follow suit is only appropriate.

    Sorry to sound like a weiner, but I don't give a frack what JW does with the theme. I know he will compose good scores for "VII"-"IX", and I am far more interested in how he will take the "sound" of Star Wars forward, than caring about if he will overhaul existing themes.
    He did a very nice variation of Luke's theme at the end of "Father/Son".

    Indeed. Unjustified choral elements are perhaps the quickest way to cringey scoring.
    Re-record the original setting of the opening crawl. Let the rest of the score be new and shiny.

    According to Sherlock's explanation, the entire street was blocked of and all the bystanders were either a part of Mycrofts men or the homeless network.
    The whole scene of Anderson not buying Sherlock's explanation is basically foreshadowing your EXACT behavior right now.

    Of the three solutions given, the first two don't match visually with what we saw two years ago. In both cases a bungee cord was visible, we know it was never a dummy that fell etc etc...and they were clearly written to wind the audience up. The solution Sherlock gives is the only one that matches what we know and saw in The Reichenbach Fall

    And, btw, if you really can't spot Beorn's theme, not even once amongst the gazillion times it plays on the OST, and with Doug's booklet, I'm afraid you're not suitable for spotting themes at all. Does it really have to be Remote Control level stupidly obvious?

    You guys crack me.
    If themes for Beorn, Mirkwood, Lake-town or anything in this score do not float your boat, that is fine. I am not sure why do you have to keep harping people about liking them when you do not. And for the record I do prefer the more hummable themes from this score as well but I also like these smaller motifs quite a lot despite them being less memorable than the bigger ones.

    Because this has a main post full of information that needs to remain as a main post.
    If you'd like to discuss it further please do so somewhere else, let's keep this thread clean please, just for discussing the themes of the score, thank you.

    Yup, I agree with that. And there were other scenes that didn't need any music at all, but had it.
    But beyond all that, the music itself was bland and uninteresting at it's best, and loud and obnoxious at its worst
