Mr. Who

The novellas from which this show will be based on are great. The storytelling takes place on a much smaller scale than GOT and HOTD and we get to see different sides of Westeros and its people. This show can turn out really well if they get the casting right for Duncan and ‘Egg’ and if they keep it on the smaller scale of the source material and don’t try to make it into a HOTD/GOT type show. I’m very curious how they will adapt the second novella as that story is directly related to the outcome of the Blackfyre Rebellions which I hope will be adapted in a later season of HOTD after the Dance of Dragons period is finished.

I would love if Desplat scored this! Zimmer or Gia would also be good choices. Or might JW come out of retirement and complete the trifecta (returning for sw, indy and jurassic)

Very exited about this show! Hope it lives up to the hype.

In my thematic analysis I called it the A section of the Dune Main Theme, while the B section is the guitar/cello melody heard in Leaving Caladan after the A section plays in the beginning and together with the B section. They are often played together but maybe they’re separate themes, I’m not sure.

They also turned down loads of free money for being listed as executive producers on all GOT spinoffs like HOTD. But like I said, that’s absolutely a valid opinion to have. However, it doesn’t change my mind about it being a masterful show.

I think GOT and Sopranos and BB are great shows, if someone doesn’t, then that’s of course completely fine! The revisionism regarding GOT as a show is pretty amusing though but of course to each his own.

I still need to watch the Wire! Have heard great things about it.

Mad Men is a masterpiece on par with Sopranos, Breaking Bad and GOT!

My most anticipated scores would be: House of the Dragon S2 3 Body Problem S1 Fallout S1 Dune Part 2 Eden Kung Fu Panda 4 The Fall Guy Gladiator 2 Inside Out 2

I haven’t been a fan of Göransson in the past and thought his Oscar win for black panther was underserved, but Oppenheimer is actually a good score. I hope JW wins though.

I don’t think the audience response to MI7 was an issue. People loved the movie mainly. The release date, one week before Oppenheimer and Barbie was a huge blunder from Paramount that completely ruined the box office. It would have done very well if it had been released in August for instance. I really hope that they don’t change the movie, I hope they film it as planned (though with a new title apparently).

As soon as I saw the thumbnails I knew what you meant! Love both those moments!

Ramin Djawadi will continue his collaborations with both Jonathan Nolan & Lisa Joy and David Benioff & Dan Weiss! He has written the score for the new Fallout show and for 3 Body Problem! The latter assignment was revealed in an interview with Benioff & Weiss. I’m really exited to hear these scores and both shows look great based on the teaser trailers! It seems that the 3BP show was almost done before the strike begun so I guess the score must have been close to finished for quite a while.

Denver was great in Dopesick!

The use of the Murphy Adagio cue in WW84 really annoyed me as it robbed us of an original cue for that scene featuring the WW theme but I think Tarantino uses music very effectively in his films.

He’s also scoring Ron Howard’s next movie Eden.

Love these scores, what a nice surprise! I hope they do OHMSS, Moonraker and TMWTGG next!

I wonder if they’ll just recast like they used to do it if they’ll completely change their plans

The first score is great but I agree that the sequel scores are better. I am a big fan of HGW but in the last couple of years I haven’t really connected to his scores as I used to. I hope that he can get his groove back because when he delivers, he writes remarkable music. I hope that this chicken run score is good (haven’t had time to listen yet)

Yeah it’s a shame, I loved the Nolan HZ collaborations. But as Zimmer decided to pass on Tenet after the experience on Dunkirk, I wonder if he himself is happy with his decision. I kind of think so as he is working closely with Villeneuve now.

I also prefer Legend to Mask score wise. The first film is way way better though. The opening track from Legend has my favorite variation of the main theme probably, when the strings come in around halfway through the cue. That variation is so good and full of energy!

It’s kind of a part of his self taught image, but it’s known that he reads music. He writes in Cubase but he obviously knows how to read music. A collaborator of his was once asked about it in an interview but can’t remember who it was but he set the record straight. I’ve also seen multiple images of him reading and making notes with a pencil on the sheet music at recording sessions and rehearsals for the live shows. Like Elfman (who was known as a whistler very early in his career if I’m not mistaken), I’m sure that when he started out he probably wasn’t very good at reading notation but that was in the 80s.

A big factor for the box office was not only covid but the fast release on HBO Max.

Love it! The first part reminds me, a little bit of The Martian

I think removing messages from films is dumb as many or maybe even most great films in history have had some kind of message attached. However I do agree that movies that don’t integrate messages into the story in a good and organic way can become a bit distracting at times. It has occasionally happened that messages I agree with take me out a movie or show as they seem added by some executive rather than being an organic part of the storytelling. I think it’s insincere to say that overt messages in movies is the main problem with the lack of box office success fir recent Disney movies as it seems people just don’t care as much about new releases that Covid taught them that they can watch at home in a short while.
