The most underrated and the most overrated Williams score
Brundlefly replied to GerateWohl's topic in JOHN WILLIAMS
That could almost be my Overrated list. -
Goldsmith at 20th - New series of releases by La-La Land!!!
Brundlefly replied to Brundlefly's topic in General Discussion
They are placed in my shelf in chronological order of the score's release dates (the oldest score on each set is decisive), so no, I didn't notice that. -
New Jerry Goldsmith Projects in 2022?
Brundlefly replied to Brundlefly's topic in General Discussion
My Goldsmith collection soon will be devoid of any OST albums! L.A. Confidential added! -
One of the best rock songs I've heard in a looong while!
-
This is a perfect description of the movie La La Land.
-
Until then, you can go watch Im Westen nichts Neues and Crimes of the Future to pass the time.
-
It has been available right after midnight in Germany.

Whatever he is wearing, it's automatically the right choice.

Which score from the Star Wars Sequel Trilogy do you like most?
Brundlefly replied to michael_grig's topic in JOHN WILLIAMS
For some reason, I've never really listened to TFA and TRoS, but I've listened the hell out of TLJ! -
I don't find that puzzling. It is such a ridiculously plain and over-the-top repetition of the well-represented themes that it seems congruous not to include it on the OST.

What Is The Last Score You Listened To? (older scores)
Brundlefly replied to Ollie's topic in General Discussion
It is much less painful to look at in its physical form. -
What Is The Last Film You Watched? (2022 films)
Brundlefly replied to Jay's topic in General Discussion
I was there in August with my sister because of the movie. We were both standing at the spot from where Ralph Fiennes penetrated Colin Farrell's stomach with a bullet. Apart from the movie it is a very beautiful place too if you don't stay there for too long. -
Well, it was more like the middle part of it. It has the score nicely covered until "Discoveries", before the mummy awakes and then the next track is "My Favourite Plague", when shit is already going on on a large scale and from then on almost everything is included on the OST again. Aside from the fact that almost the entire middle part of the score is missing from the OST - it is an ingenious album program, a great listening experience!

Jerry Goldsmith's HOLLOW MAN (2000) - NEW! 2022 Intrada
Brundlefly replied to Jay's topic in General Discussion
Aside from the edits the second issue is the rapid changes concerning pace and mood that make these tracks often sound like someone skipping through a tracklist. The Mummy end credits suite is if anything bearable in the context of the movie, however, unacceptable on any official album. -
The most underrated and the most overrated Williams score
Brundlefly replied to GerateWohl's topic in JOHN WILLIAMS
Any work that derives from the classic Williams formula tends to be underrated and every score that applies that formula, but with no depth and a lack of originality, is potentially overrated. At gunpoint, my two picks would be: Underrated: Rosewood Overrated: Far and Away -
Jerry Goldsmith's HOLLOW MAN (2000) - NEW! 2022 Intrada
Brundlefly replied to Jay's topic in General Discussion
I will never get, why anyone feels the need of the inclusion of film edits or these weird end credits compilations. It's especially offending towards the composer, when there is an actual composition for the end credits that gets replaced by an amateurishly edited and totally unmusical series of short fragments from the score. -
Jerry Goldsmith's HOLLOW MAN (2000) - NEW! 2022 Intrada
Brundlefly replied to Jay's topic in General Discussion
Well, it is very clearly audible in the sample (which makes me once again wonder what's wrong with Intrada's quality checking). The end credits don't feature any new music, so who cares... -

Oh shit, I didn't even know that movie existed. I need to see it, I love In Bruges! -
Jerry Goldsmith's HOLLOW MAN (2000) - NEW! 2022 Intrada
Brundlefly replied to Jay's topic in General Discussion
In general, the samples indicate a score that has more to offer in its entirety than I expected. Is the end credits suite a compilation or an entirely new composition and recording? Followong Rudy, this marks a new all-time-low of the cover madness going on lately. Besides all kinds of cut-offs and odd transitions surrounding the title font that seem to originate from someone playing around with Photoshop for the very first time, the blue cover has parts of Elisabeth Sue's hair in the lower left-hand corner and parts of Kevin Bacon's hair above the title. -
It doesn't need to be a comedy per se, but I am hoping for a brisker take on the franchise after all these years of digging around character's past relationships and traumata and thus implying depth and complexity that is simply not there, instead of offering nimble entertainment with a discrete amount of sex.

What Is The Last Film You Watched? (2021 films)
Brundlefly replied to Jay's topic in General Discussion
I don't think it is forgettable or irrelevant at all. Among all the family praising Disney films this is a very irritating film that concisely deconstructs the conservative family ideology of tradition and legacy, ultimately drawing the progressive conclusion that the biological family per se doesn't mean shit. A German film critic put it very well: He said that this film creates a solid argument against heritage. In its core and regarding its social commentary this might be the most interesting film by Ridley Scott since Thelma & Louise.
