    Shawshank Redemption (LLL set) by Thomas Newman

    Sunset Boulevard by Franz Waxman

     

    It's funny, just this morning I started reading this collection of academic film score analyses I checked out from the library called "Anxiety Muted: American Film Music in a Suburban Age" that has essays on both of these.  "Music and Mimicry in Sunset Boulevard" and "The Very Essence of Tragic Reality: Aaron Copland and Thomas Newman's Suburban Scoring."  I mostly checked it out because an essay connecting the music of Copland and Newman was irresistible to me.

    Interesting tidbit. By the way, if you haven't seen it already, this is worth a rewatch as long as we're talking about this combo:

     

     

     

    Oh wow, thank you for posting that, it somehow got by me back in 2015.  I'm such a passionate fan of Bridge of Spies, this was just delightful.  I especially liked when they talked about Williams and the Newman family :)

    Only one movie has ever actually reduced me to heaving sobs (I was being hyperbolic about E.T. on a previous page of this thread) and that's Life Itself, the documentary following Roger Ebert's final days.  That was definitely a combination of my relationship to Ebert's work and where I was in my life at that time.

     

    Most movies when I say they made me cry, I mean a few silent tears.

    Oh, its a rhythm game.  Not my thing.

     

    Not usually my thing either, but I fell in love with the first game on Wii ("Bit.Trip Runner").  It's more like an auto-runner platformer where the music can give you clues about the rhythm of your jumps, but it's not a rhythm game in the way I usually think of them.  I dunno, I wish there was a demo so you could try it without having to buy it.  It's a fantastic game.

    Thanks Jason, a great summing up of what was special about the Wii U, a great console!

     

    For posterity, I would like to add the amazing indie game Runner2, which I would actually put as one of my 5 favorite games on the platform.  I loved that silly, addictive game.

     

    (So I'm of course beyond excited that they're making Runner3 for the Switch :))

    well if you just want to play zelda I'd stick with the WiiU. The Switch doesn't do much else than play Zelda

     

    The reason to get a Switch is if the hardware really appeals to you (like it did me).  In both concept and design.
