It seems that Howard Shore is dropping all of his planned projects one by one. Not sure what that means if anything....
-
Oh I'm not making any judgments on Daniel Hart's abilities, I've just honestly not heard of him before today. He might do a great job, I was just really looking forward to hearing a good Howard Shore children's fantasy score. Ah well.

Star Trek and Stargate tended to use some convoluted technobabble to excuse this. But that Starkiller laser people saw with their own eyes in the sky in real time. Try explaining that!
I'll give it a shot. Just because the movie was cutting back and forth between Starkiller Base and Maz's castle does not necessarily mean those events were happening simultaneously? I have no idea if this idea can be supported and I really don't think this is something worth caring about.

Uhhhhhhhh, Howard Shore is no longer listed as the composer on Pete's Dragon on IMDB:

Did I miss something? I can't find an official news story anywhere for this. It appears he's been replaced by Daniel Hart (who I've never heard of).
It might explain why he was so evasive when asked about Pete's Dragon in this interview (http://collider.com/howard-shore-spotlight-interview-tom-mccarthy/)

Wow! Spielberg certainly shows no signs of slowing down! This could be really cool, I have yet to dislike a Spielberg historical drama.

And you're sure you're not talking about HP5? I loved the flashbacks!
Me too. I honestly would have happily read an entire HP-length novel of Voldemort's early life and rise to power. The flashbacks in HBP were the most fascinating part of that book for me.

I guess everyone likes something different about John Williams too. I personally love his most catchy little motifs, like Nobuo Uematsu's. Hook and the original Star Wars trilogy had so many of these for just one film, he must have written 7 really stand-out themes on average for each film.
To start off, one of the best melodies he's written imo:
His Hook score has so many amazing moments. My personal favorite theme from that movie is the one for Smee, and this is my favorite small quote of it, at 5:40 in "The Ultimate War":

New Explosions in the Sky album is aces

Overall I found Desplat's work on Deathly Hallows a little disappointing, but that triumphant performance of Lily's Theme at 0:53 in "Dragon Flight" still gives me the chills:

I am very, very interested to see what PJ does next with Middle-Earth well and truly behind him. I don't think it's gonna be Tintin, despite what IMDB might say.

It really is a shame how that relationship went south. I can't be the only one who, coming off of Return of the King, thought (hoped?) we had the next Spielberg/Williams decades-long collaboration on our hands.

I liked the performance on the TFA soundtrack.

Not sure you should examine a silly joke quite so seriously.
-
The Grand Budapest Hotel OST is in very regular rotation for me still. It's fantastic music to listen to while I'm sitting at my desk at work.
-
total number or no number. there is no half.
-
Maybe because Desplat is an excellent composer?

What do you mean second? Didn't both Anthony Daniels and Kenny Baker do that?
Kenny Baker is credited in Force Awakens as a consultant but didn't actually appear in the movie at all, right?

I seriously can't stop laughing at the phrase 'john willium is best ever director.'

Woah, Gareth Edwards directed Godzilla and now Rogue One. Mon Mothra anyone?

Pride & Prejudice was indeed great!
Right? It was amazing how kinetic and alive he made Jane Austen where so many literary adaptations are dreary and boring. Imagine what he could have done with Harry Potter!

I've got a sneaking suspicion that the Force Theme will be the connective tissue which links all Star Wars films, Anthology and Episode alike, regardless of composer.
Would you say it's the music that binds these movies together? Surrounds them? Penetrates them?
-
I still think Joe Wright would have been an excellent choice for one of those last 4. An excellent British director with a much more visually interesting style. I loved his adaptations of Pride & Prejudice and Anna Karenina. Both captured the spirits of their source material wonderfully.
-
He basically filmed them so that they were as exciting as a cheap BBC period drama from the 90s. God what I wouldn't have given for someone with the visual flair of Cuaron to bring some magic to those movies. Anyway, all in the past now. But for this new movie, it would have been great if they had given it to a new, more interesting director.

This one ^.
Oh I know I'm probably reading way too much into Shore being replaced on two 2016 projects within a couple of months.
