    But he's not a Jwfan. He's just a fan of this newest Jungle Book. He offers zero comments on any other thread. Can't we change him to Jdfan2234? 

     

    And members like SafeUnderHill tend to lurk exclusively within Tolkien threads. Are you suggesting we change their usernames to reflect them being fans of Shore's work?

    Wait... nevermind. 

    Rogue One: A Star Wars Story (Gareth Edwards 2016)

    It's really interesting how McQuarrie's initial designs still look great on film almost 40 years later. They really don't feel dated or out of place IMO. I feel like even if you look at them objectively, you wouldn't think "wow, that looks straight out of the 70s." I suppose part of this could be contributed to how Star Wars itself has stayed in the public consciousness during those 40 years, but still.

    Wow! This looks like it's going to have a lot of really cool moments for Williams' score to shine.

     

    Having never read the book, I am uncertain about what to expect from the film, but I'm happy it feels like it is going to be more fantastical than I originally though. 

    Your favorite Hans Zimmer Superhero Score

    I really, really enjoy the score for Batman Begins. Zimmer was able to escape from mostly all prior clichés associated with the genre, and, much like the film itself, forge out into bold new territory while still staying honorable to the core of the film. The additional warmth that comes as a result of JNH coming on board helps to elevate this score even further. 

    Despite that long-winded response, I'd actually have to go with The Dark Knight. Taking what came before and building on it even further with tracks like "Like A Dog Chasing Cars" (as Loert mentioned), I think Zimmer and Co. are able to ultimately craft a masterpiece score that works on nearly all levels. The entire sequence where Batman is trying to save the hostages while fighting off the SWAT team at the same time is easily one of my favorite scoring moments (https://youtu.be/ZFSqcqK3KB4?t=38s).
