I especially love the Into Darkness score (not the movie, just the score).
-
Well I know many of the most vocal members on this board are Giacchino-skeptics or outright haters, but I'm a huge fan and I can't wait for this. He's a very welcome addition to the MCU.

John Williams Conducts the Philadelphia Orchestra - May 4 2016
Disco Stu replied to Joe Brausam's topic in JOHN WILLIAMS
That song always makes me think of the over-the-top patriotic song that's being recorded at the beginning of the movie Nashville. "We must be doin' somethin' right, to last 200 years!" -
Well given the ridiculous visual design of that site it is also just literally a dark (shadowy perhaps?) place.
-
What's that shadowy place? That's the Filmtracks message board. You must never go there.

I believe she mentions wanting to hear Randy Newman himself perform the pieces he composed for her, well here he is performing one of the movements on George Gershwin's piano at the Library of Congress: This is clearly off-the-cuff and unrehearsed, but still neat.

Sign o' the Times is my personal favorite Prince album. Or maybe Parade. He was such an an astounding artist, one of the greats of pop.
-
Ha, when I saw it it was performed alongside Tchaikovsky's "Manfred" symphony. I have to say I greatly preferred the Prokofiev concerto. It had a real sense of being "alive" and dynamic compared to the Tchaikovsky symphony which could be quite plodding in places for me...
-
Ah. Yeah the arrangement of the backing track for the song was pretty good. If only the vocal performance met it halfway....
-
Really? I hated the ScarJo version of 'Trust in Me.' She's supposed to sound seductive but her performance was just narcoleptic/bored.
-
For real, the phasing out of the original Avengers was teased pretty heavily at the end of Age of Ultron.
-
Also, "was"?
-
What the what? You didn't like Hot Fuzz? Classic action comedy! Timothy Dalton!
-
I know that's what I'm saying. He'd always wanted to make Star Wars-like space opera, the real thing was unavailable, and Star Trek was what he could get his hands on, so he turned Trek into a space opera.
-
Yeah I don't have anything against a more action-oriented Trek either if they're able to balance it with the more thoughtful spirit at the heart of Star Trek (for me). First Contact achieved this balance probably the best out of the first 10 movies. It takes many cues from straight-up action movies of the 90s while retaining the core Trek spirit. I still think '09 and Into Darkness were just dry runs for Force Awakens for Abrams.
-
The hiring of Justin Lin tells me they're taking this one even further into being a straight up action movie than the first two. I hope I'm wrong. Anyway as with most other diehard Trek fans I'm placing all my hopes for the future of this world in Bryan Fuller's hands.

Plus, for me personally, Into Darkness has one of my top 3 favorite Giacchino scores, so I'm really looking forward to this one.

a-ha's "The Living Daylights" is my favorite James Bond theme. A lot of people seem to hate that one, which I've never understood.
-
The parts that are quotes of George Bruns' original score are fantastic. I'll go see the movie before making any kind of judgment calls on Debney's original stuff.
-
Yes, I immediately ripped the Youtube audio and have been listening The President's Own Star Wars suite for days now. Great stuff.

He's on vacation.

I am a fan of all kinds of artsy fartsy auteur filmmakers, but Refn is decidedly not for me.

The Force Awakens Rey's Theme – John Williams' Best Theme Yet?
Disco Stu replied to BLUMENKOHL's topic in JOHN WILLIAMS
My routine lately: 1. Click 'John Williams' sub-forum 2. See that 'Rey's Theme – John Williams' Best Theme Yet?' is the only one with unread posts 3. Click 'Mark forum as read' -
I'm very excited to see a Jarmusch movie starring Adam Driver.
