  1. He buys the ladies drinks and scores everything indeed Here is an interesting article about Vangelis and his pure dedication, Ridley really missed the boat on this score https://thevinylfactory.com/features/blade-runner-soundtrack/
  2. This isn't a regular edition, it's the super duper limited edition numbered 525 with 2049 copies world wide of 1st edition which makes this worth $3K easy It's a must for any collector
  3. So I just got my limited edition CD numbered 525 on eBay now for $1500
  4. No this was the limited edition 2CD 2049 copies, to which they released a 2nd edition because somehow it devalues the 1st edition then they will probably release the deluxe collectors steel box edition with like a steel box which is the same as every other edition, only it comes in steel I guess?
  5. Greetings, Thank you for participating in the Blade Runner 2049 pre-order. CDs are in the final stages of production and should be headed to our facility next week. Orders are now expected to ship on or around November 17, 2017. You will receive a shipping confirmation email once your order ships. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause, and thanks again for your support. Thanks, Blade Runner 2049 Pre-Order Store Email I received today, Oct 10 was shipping date, Oct 20th now Nov 17th, I say in 2049 we will get it These guys are so unprofessional, they already took my money which their agreement cited would not do till item was shipped. Not only have they lied but broke a PayPal specific which is not to take money till shipping date. I had to close my PP dispute as it was near the 2nd shipping date and took these guys to respond to my email sent on 2nd Oct It's all very messy and I don't even want this anymore. I will try and recover my dismay by selling it for 20 grand on eBay

Thanks, Blade Runner 2049 Pre-Order Store Wow this company truly sucks, they were supposed to ship Oct 10, then 20th now Nov 20th then I guess we will see it some time in 2049? We've already paid for a sold out item, so it's not a monetary issue, what else could it be?
  7. It's because it was based on a true story and now you're in a witness protection program right?
  8. Glad I'm not the only one, I grew up with 80's movies and was great fan. Such experimental music too, John Carpenter was obviously a fav, along with Tangerine Dream, Alan Silvestri, Phillip Glass, John Williams and many others. Somehow that 80s movement of electronic B movies drive has been long lost and forgotten You only need to look at Stranger Things to see how important this era had in our culture and it's good to see this comeback or tip of the fedora My own music I make (not great but I love doing it) is 80's heavily influenced and people do remark how JC it is I just get sick of the Shepard's tones Zimmer keeps reusing, yeah we get it, you like to create tension but it gets boring after a while as we get the trick being employed, rather than enjoying the music, it's like a smoke and mirrors parlor trick, fun once after that meh Sorry for wall of text guys, back on topic I watched Get Shorty today, it was good for a predictable Hollywood 90's movie trying to do much with what little it had to offer The music was there and trying to be hip, this was no Pulp Fiction, and in some ways was trying a little too hard, still somewhat entertaining I guess
  9. I sort of resent Zimmer having such a hold on Hollywood scores now, it's same thing over, perfectly attached to all the Hollyweird movies being released I for one don't resent the era I was born, it gave me a great appreciation into composers and music, I can't say this now for the current generation nor do I look forwards to the future of our creative flows I was a child of the 60's, I only really understood what this meant since as I started to listen to other people's music in my class, sure they're young but it's the same generic doof doof horrible DAW processed music Junkie XL I like, I know he collaborated with Zimmer on this movie and some others, when I found this out a little piece of me died inside I'd just like a world where everything isn't just 1 tone of Zimmer Batman kills Superman, what's next Escape from New York reboot, Snake is a woman?
  10. Got this just now Greetings, Thank you for participating in the Blade Runner 2049 pre-order. CDs are still in production and your order will be delayed slightly. Orders are now expected to ship on or around November 3, 2017. You will receive a shipping confirmation email once your order ships. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause, and thanks again for your support. Thanks, Blade Runner 2049 Pre-Order Store ^^ not only did they take money form PayPal and charge us when they said only when "shipped", but the dates have changed twice for shippiing Fwiw, I got an email reply from them 10 days later citing I should not threaten them, blah blah that only CD they have is the double CD This has to be one of the most poorly organised businesses I have seen in my life. The email you see is the exact thing I got, with a banner atop, nothing else I know what merchant to avoid when ordering anything with them associated with it Oh because of the poor communication, I had to cancel my PP dispute based on their inability to reply to simple emails, this now means I cannot open up a dispute at all and need to speak to my bank if there is any issues Do these guys work for Trump?
  11. I find it ironic DiscoStu never did a 2049 playlist for us, he is a DJ after all
  12. I was luck to see this at an old cinema in 4K digital print, sublime is the word, 2049 holds no candle to it at all
  13. E.T was the reason The Thing was killed Funny how mindsets of an era can make or break movies It was good to see John Carpenter when interviewed for his Big Trouble in little China release by Bill Collins, what he thought about his box office failure. His words, "who cares how much a movie makes, I make movies I like to make"
  14. The scene I refer to is where K is followed into his apartment before the 3way, the drums that follow him are very out of place. It's actually an odd choice as I explained before, thinking some action was about to take place. Well it did but I hardly call a virtual sex scene "action".
  15. Blade Runner has heart and soul, the story is not the driving force here, 2049 is soulless on all accounts.
  16. It has to be as the 2014 has nothing to do with munsters http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0097737/?ref_=tt_rec_tt Which same year had this released http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0097179/?ref_=tt_rec_tt
  17. So I went to see this today, meh Cinema was one of the best I could find with Dolby Atmos, it was way too loud and I have a hearing disorder The music is soulless, there is 1 scene where K is walking down the st into his apartment, the music that accompanies this short trip is a typical Zimmer drum rapid fire, but nothing happens, K just walks from the street to his apartment, it is a really bizarre composition that would only suit an action piece Then I was waiting for the Blade Runner track from the OST, the best part of the OST imo is the end credits to my dismay The movie is long boring and tiresome, actually it's not that good to look at compared to the original. I can see why people just don't agree with the movie, and it really doesn't seem like a Blade Runner universe, the acting is well, you just don't care about the characters. To me the movie just seems so one dimensional across the board, story, FX, music, take your pick. Blade Runner had a very basic story, but I felt drawn into the world from the music and FX, 2049, not so much so... I give this, 2 Voigt-Kampff's down
  18. Given the context which I left most out, he is lucky I never clipped his ear. You've not met these kids, you don't understand the amount of disrespect they display in class, hence why I have chosen to continue my studies elsewhere. If someone spoke to you like I was spoken to, I am pretty sure you wouldn't put up with their behavior either, he never wanted to "discuss" he wanted to provoke and argue. Fact he jumped up and started pointing at me wildly in class, then when I cited Wallace as apposed to Wallfisch as composer then to be ridiculed, this wasn't a discussion, it was an attack, which promptly ceased when I said what I had. When was the last time you had sat in a class full of kids?
  19. Danny Elfman did something fantastic with Batman. His dark rich textures certainly won me over, brooding, mesmerizing, completely love it Telarc version is my fav based on dynamics, it really is something to behold https://www.discogs.com/Erich-Kunzel-Cincinnati-Pops-Orchestra-Fantastic-Journey/release/2879924 15 minutes of Batman Telarc treatment here, rest of the CD is good too My 5 super hero movies (not all super heroes) Escape From New York Flash Gordon Superman II Batman (Elfman) Terminator (because I can't think of a 5th)
