  1. The music out I only listened to it outside the series, and it is a ok score. Nothing really stood out, but quite accessible.
  2. Breaking just now... The Supreme Court on Saturday agreed to decide whether the love theme "A Time of Quiet Between the Storms" can also act as a representation for House Atreides. In a one-page unsigned order, the justices ordered a federal appeals court to continue to keep on hold the distribution of the Dune: Part One sketchbook album in order to mitigate the possibility of evidence tempering. Composer Hans Zimmer dismissed the case, arguing that he has Oscar immunity, and cannot be persecuted for musical abstraction, a crime that carries up to 20 years in Clemmensen asylum. "I hate to call it a love theme," he added, "because it is so much more." He has yet to explain what "more" means. His assistant composer Steve Mazzaro emotionally urged the court to drop the case pleading that "Love is universal and can represent all things." Source: Deadline
  3. It's...a step towards the right direction, but I wouldn't even say it is good. I usually don't mind synths, but the retro ostinatos around 1:17 sounds kind of odd and took me out of the tune for second. The main theme is a bit too nondescriptive and none of the composition really gel together that well. Lastly, it is just too on the nose. I get it, they are huge creatures, but I don't need every note to remind me of that.
  4. What? https://collider.com/patty-jenkins-claims-rogue-squadron-still-happening/ So how long before another article reads, "Jenkins' Star Wars film is no longer happening?"
  5. Watching Constellation on Apple TV. It is keeping me engage, but I am not complete sold this is going to end up in a satisfying manner yet.
  6. It was probably King Solomon's Mine. And I am going to double down and say the main theme is one of his best (Some people make fun of it as a parody Indy score).
  7. So Zimmer finally acknowledges two of his most beloved scores from the late 90s:
  8. And thus the debate. For me, I have no stakes. To me, it is clear the theme is both a love theme (primary) for Paul and Chani, and a theme for the evolution of House Atreides (secondary). The film hinted this as well. If you recall, "A Time of Quiet Between the Storms" plays during the kiss scene, but also immediately serve as the background music for the montage that follows showing Paul's integration into Fremen culture. Zimmer also hinted this by saying "I hate calling it a love theme because it is so much more than that."
  9. The second half of "House Atreides" is feature prominently here. Part of the stanza bleeds into Paul and Chani's theme, but it is not quite the theme either. Starts at 1:22 During the Armanda scene, the theme appears briefly Starts at 2:03 The entire 3:30 segment opening of "House Atreides" is only on the sketchbook in Dune 1, but is feature prominently in Dune 2 as the love theme. What was actually played in Dune 1 does contain some variations of it, but never the whole thing.
  10. Why are people still arguing about this? The theme started as an opening for House Atreides, but only on sketchbook and not officially part of the musical canon. In Part 2, the theme was brought into the forefront to represent the love theme of Paul and Chani and the tragic journey of their relationship. The new version of the theme also takes on Fremen elements as Paul and Jessica and the Atreides are now being consumed by their culture. So it serves as both a love theme for Paul and Chani and to a lesser extent, an evolution of House Atreides.
  11. One thing to note is that I don't think "Ornithopter Attack" is actually in the film. Am I wrong? The scene, most of it, carries out without music.
  12. The Two Towers Extended Edition is my favorite out of them all. But FOTR theatrical is probably my favorite out of the 3 theatrical versions. I think it would be curious to see if WB continues the franchise without Denis Villeneuve. He said he won't do anymore after Messiah.
  13. In the book it was 12 years right? I mean, they would have to increase the gap even further if they want to bring in Ana Taylor-Joy right?
  14. Wait, the guy who wrote the article's name is Anton Spice...did he drink the Water of Life?
  15. I thought Geidi Prime's design was amazing. To us, it may not seem like a habitable place, just like to us, Feyd-Rautha isn't a good looking guy. But to them, it is home and they probably have different standard of beauty. The fact that Geidi Prime looks nothing like Arrakis or Caladan or most places in other sci-fi films means they did a good job to make the planet and culture unique. As for Caladan, do they really need to show cities? Caladan plays such as unimportant role in the story, I don't know what showing more cities would do.
