Another attempt at Tomb Raider? 3rd times the charm maybe

Oh, Maud'Dib, do you want to live out your life in a pain amplifier?
Of course not every score is worthy of the nomination, but it's not for the likes of you and I to say what is... unfortunately 

Have seen the first 3 and the fifth one, skipped the fourth (I understand I'm not missing much by having done so). I appreciated there being even scarier things than Courtney Cox's face in the last one, lol.   

She's made of code, sir!  I assure you, she can.

RIP Tom Verlaine.  incredible guitarist and songwriter with a style that was all his own

Your naive self-righteousness and moral smugness are all too common and indicative that this is unproductive.  We are all of us fallen.  Peace!

Speaking of straw men, I see you’re creating them with ease.
 
The problem I see is multiple generations brought up on the mentality that victimhood, or at least perceived victimhood, is how to define moral worth.  I see huge groups of people searching out whatever marginalized status they can lay claim to and feel that sweet sweet dopamine of moral superiority.  And then keep chasing the high of rooting out wrongthink and bigotry, addicted to meting out justice and self-valorization, which of course requires constant maintenance of and renewal of their marginalized status. To be clear, this mindset is just as insidious on the right as it is on the left.   It actively distracts from the truth and is based in hate and pride just as much as the bigotry they think they fight against. 
 
Anyway this whole thing on the thread goes back to the specific claims of the director of Till that are so transparently the claims of a sore loser trying to seek whatever leverage they think they have.  And because the Academy is a modern liberal institution they have to pretend, or worse believe, that instead of being a sore loser, they are a noble victim of injustice.

There aren’t hundreds of amazing composers of either sex alive today 

I'm sorry that I didn't build you a stronger post, young Stu.

For a second I thought you meant Garber himself had died and I was like, how did miss that?!

Our Town is my personal favorite of Copland's 8 film scores, an incredible piece of work.  The complete re-recording that Naxos released 15 or so years ago is essential, now I just wish we'd get complete modern re-recordings of Red Pony and Heiress (as great as the Intrada release of the original recordings is).
 
But @AC1 you skipped my favorite of the Our Town piano pieces, "The Resting Place on the Hill," adapted from what is the greatest cue in the original score IMO.
 
 

It’s the backbone of the modern liberal worldview: absolutely nothing about you is more important than the color of your skin, and we must focus on each others’ to the point of mania

Actually no, that was a different market.  Dumbass.

Just watched the film. 10/10. Had it all; cried, laughed, thought about it. This film really says a lot about how creative people feel.
 
The last shot!!!! I will never forget the sudden excitement that came straight from my gut and coursed through my body as I watched the camera shake. A masterpiece of a film, I think.
 
 
 

So can we safely assume that Copland invented the Western (The Wild West) music? Or was he merely copying some unknown composer and who died a poor man?
 
Besides Rodeo, here are two more contemplative piano renditions from Our Town that I absolutely love.

That's right, Philip Aaberg is the pianist who played with Elvin Bishop (Fooled Around And Fell In Love).

Happy Valley has returned at last for its 3rd and final season, 7 years after the 2nd.  Love these characters, love the setting, love how Sally Wainwright writes working class characters.
