    He said all he needed to say with ID4 and Godzilla. 

    I like Stargate and TND more. And Casino Royale is dope too, esp. this two brilliant action cues

    Still waiting for TND expansion that got delayed thanks to new Bond which was delayed too.

    Silvestri did well on his last two Avengers scores. He's never really evolved, but he hasn't gone backwards either like Elfman has.

    Never listened to them in whole, but there is a great stuff like Portals. If we are talking about evolution, we all know what composer was and is good in it...

    He became largely mediocre in the mid-2000s and no one cares about him anymore in terms of his film work because it's just crap for the last 15 years. A shame.

    Minus Alice, right?

    Silvestri in bad shape overall too btw. So sad to see your favourite composers in such way. And David Arnold is a shame too. He had so much potential in 90's...

  4. I mean, really. Scissorhands and Batman like one of the best soundtracks of all time. Now his signature style is almost vanished, except two excellent Alice scores. Even Silvestri not good in his recent works, but he at least saved his trademark sound and somewhat returned to form in Ready Player One.

     

    And to throw my 5 cents, Justice League score is absolutely underrated. Yeah, rushed, but even in this form much better than all this Zimmer hacks work. Plus merging Superman and Batman themes for the first time in motion picture ever and two absolutely badass action tracks of his whole career. I've wanted to hear this to themes in one track so many years, by the way...

     

    I'll bet that Junkie will write another headache piece of shit for Snyder Cut, good God.

     

    Problem here is that film music industry is so infected by Zimmer studio that almost every blockbuster score not from them are automatically better.

    Those are Jay's spreadsheets, not mine. You can tell by the fact that the quotes all say "Jay" and by his name on the top of the sheets.

    Oh, I've forgot.

    And everybody else, when will you learn to ignore trolls instead of feeding them?  You exacerbate the issue by replying to his troll posts, egging him on, generating a back and forth discussion... where personal insults eventually come out.  

     

    Ignore trolls, and they go away.  Take their bait and start a discourse, and they will continue to come back.  I learned this decades ago.  Why do some many recent JWFanners not know this?

    Jay, check my suggestion about adding my ROTJ analysis to your work.

    I like scores that don't maintain the same sort of energy throughout. Variations in tempo, dynamics, orchestration, and so forth are important to me. Nonstop action is numbing and tiresome to me; nonstop subtle underscore bores me to death. A score that offers a variety of emotions is more likely to appeal to me.

     

    Not the only criterion, of course, but I've noticed this trend with the scores I like.

    That's actually what I like too.

  7. Erich Kunzel re-rec. from 1997 credits Silvestri. Was it supposed for De Palma movie? Or is it even true that this is his arrangement? Because you can check some tracks from leaked unused Silvestri score. I can actually see it coming from him, because it sounds very much like Silvestri's signature sound.

     

    Even if it's not, by far best rendition I've ever heard.

     

    Update: it's him. There is shorter version on bootleg and it repeats orchestration of this version.

  8. Those 2018 remixes are really a mixed bag. Some edit points are horrible, The Asteroid Field sounds like a mess, but I'm still like it for multiple reasons, very dope choir and orchestra separation in DOTF, percussion in ROTS, ANH sounds very powerful, even ROTJ when original album used actual film mixes, but still. Clones are good too. I'm think that all concert versions better than originals.

    Oh, Great J! (Men In Black 2 reference intended). Ban him for forever, please. I have no idea why he spent 10 years there.

    Geez . People are so touchy.

    It's not that important in the larger scheme of things.

    Just stick to the OT.

    I try.

    YOU started this thread about THE ORIGINAL TRILOGY.

    This is what we are discussing

     

    Btw why do care what I think ?

    Thread have no purpose now because I've already done what was intended. You can check it. btw.
