Still weird it’s that long of a wait. Ah well.

No, stick around, you might become as funny as me someday!

Well, someone had to score JP3.

But Filmtracks gave Batman five stars!

I agree Desplat’s not my ideal, but going from Icchy Gicchy to this felt really refreshing even before the score grew on me. Nothing in Gicchy’s trilogy even approaches “Bella and the Beast” or “Crossing the River”. I’m happy with the 75-minute playlist I burned to CD, but even the cues I didn’t include I’m finding interest in. Desplat didn’t give me a full course meal like Powell can, but he bought me a pizza. Giacchino buys you gas station cookies. I need to get out of bed and eat something.

I spent all day making a CD for this, running into an aggravatingly growing list of technical errors as I haven’t made a CD in like five years. Worth it? Yes, because I’m a delivery dude and playing music in the car is my main means of listening to music, not at home. I have an aux cord, but it makes everything muffled and quiet to where I have to turn the sound all the way up to barely hear it. ”Crossing the River/T-Rex” in the car. 😎

He needs to listen to John Powell.

How about Al Splat?

Step aside, rookie. (Actually, don’t, I’m lonely in the sea of “I don’t attend a concert of Desplat’s themes” or “Republicans don’t like French music”. I don’t disagree, I just don’t care either way)

But I LIKE this score! If I didn’t, I wouldn’t have spent days making a playlist. Plus I always call John Williams “Johnny Boy” in reference to In the Mouth of Madness and no one’s protested yet. My name’s Severin and I’ve heard mispronunciations since I was a wee lad, it’s fine. I am carrying this thread, so, you’re welcome.

I’d be happy to do that for that for you, Tom Gernie. (I’m not mocking the guy, I’m just quoting this. Say it in the voice and it’s funny)

If I’m not inviting Kersplat to perform at my sister’s birthday party, he’s a bad composer.

Compared to how John Powell’s scores are usually treated, or Giacchino’s Jurasses (I remember the ONLY cue in the Colin trilogy that can be heard that’s not a Williams riff is “World’s Worst Bedtime Storyteller”), I think Desplat got enough chances to shine. He’ll be alriiiight. As mentioned, I was surprised I heard Bird Strike in the picture and recognized a bit from the announcement video.

Guess it depends which theatre owners like music and which ones don’t! I recall, for example, hearing “Bird Strike” in the movie clearly to a point of recognizing ‘oh hey, that riff’s from the announcement video!’.
