Are all themes introduced in the JNH-scored episodes or does Rodzinski has some original themes of his own?

Amazing!

I am. I mean, once I invent the first ever time machine, I'll have a lot of money! BTW, does anyone know how to build a time machine?

I think the fact that Babylon was very divisive will work against Hurwitz. When was the last time a movie as poorly received as this one won the Original Score award? As far as I remember, most winners of this prize also enjoyed great critical reception, right?

Maybe he had nothing better to do and decided to hang out at the Globes afterparty?

Is the woman next to JW his wife?

I don't think JW would be THAT sad after losing a Golden Globe. He lost the Oscar race a lot of times before (while also winning it in 5 occasions), why would he be that disappointed about a fucking Golden Globe - aka the shittiest award in Hollywood?

The Oscars is Hurwitz's to lose. That said, I thought the same thing when he won the Golden Globes (the crappiest award in Hollywood) in 2018 for First Man, but then he wasn't even nominated for the Oscars for some reason.

*Gimli voice* YES! James Cameron Praises ‘Avatar 2’ Nearing $2 Billion: ‘Enough With Streaming Already! I’m Tired of Sitting on My A–’ No matter if it's a superhero blockbuster or a James Cameron epic, I'll always be on Team Theatrical Experience. I love Cameron going down on these streamers

I guess Whirlwind is one of the three cues named Action? I have the impression that a good chunk of the OST is composed of the suites and ideas instead of actual film cues:

When I played Part II I could barely hear any Santaolalla compositions except for like, one or two moments. The rest was a very challenging sound design score by Quayle.

Behold... another bland and boring Marvel movie poster!

The Man Without Face, his first movie with Horner, had a pretty good score too.

Pleasant enough and never really boring, but still far below from Newman's best efforts. These days I gave up on expecting a Thomas Newman score as emotionally powerful as The Shawshank Redemption, The Horse Whisperer or The Green Mile, but I'd settle for something like Passengers or Tolkien.

I think he looked up for them, but they already were tossed in the trash years ago.

Yeah, it's a pretty clear parody of Sillicon Valley start-ups and their so-called "disruptive" gurus - people like Elon or Steve Jobs. It has nothing to do with Hollywood filmmakers.

A YouTuber that I watch regularly, whose channel is focused on animation, said that Puss in Boots 2 was not only his favorite animated movie of 2022 but also one of the very best DreamWorks movies ever. And it also was influenced by Into the Spider-Verse. Who would say that a silly Shrek spin-off (actually, a sequel to a silly Shrek spin-off) would've turned out so good?

Between Christmas and yesterday, I catch some major movies of 2022 that I hadn't seen before but I was too lazy to review them before. Top Gun: Maverick Surprisingly efficient action movie with great VFX and acting. It's easy to see why it made so much money. The score by Zimmer, Faltermayer, Gaga (!), Balfe & team is pretty good, and I'd certainly listen to an expanded version of the woeful OST. Glass Onion Very entertaining and, just like the first one, using the "murder mystery" genre to satirize current affairs and one-percenters. I liked it. Smile This surprisingly good chiller is like a mix between some of my favorite horror films (and horror tropes) of all time: The Ring, It Follows, The Babadook... Sure, it may not be as good (and scary) as those, but it has a great creepy tone (I prefer horror films that focus on tone and atmosphere rather than gore) and quite a disturbing twist ending that stayed with me long after the movie was over. Nope Jordan Peele's horror movies are at the very least entertaining, and this one is no exception. This one is like his first attempt at a (spoilers, I think) "monster movie" (unlike his two previous movies, where the villains were human) and the result is a very compelling and tense film. Daniel Kaluuya's subdued performance is pretty good. See How They Run Reasonably entertaining, though you need to have at least some knowledge of Agatha Christie to fully "get" the movie. Since I'm no Christie expert I kinda felt like someone who only saw one or two Spider-Man movies years ago wandering into a showing of No Way Home. Bullet Train It starts off decently, with some nice cinematography and action scenes and fun characters... But then it gets more and more convoluted as it goes, and by the end it devolves into another messy CGI-filled dumb action flick. As a fan of the John Wick franchise, it's a shame to see David Leitch's career, once so promising, now devoted to dumb movies like this and Hobbs & Shaw. Even Deadpool 2, which I liked more than the first, was a step down from JW in its action scenes.

I always wondered: why didn't he avoid spoilers in his track titles? Barbara's Confession should've been titled The Confession, and TPM's Qui-Gon's Noble End could've been A Jedi's Noble End.

Here is something I always wanted to know: is John Williams a sports guy? I mean, when he's not working, does he like to sit in front of the TV with a beer in a hand and watch the NFL, NBA, baseball, or whatever sports Americans like to watch?

I know. The first album covers only the JNH-scored episodes and credits only him in the cover. The second album though covers the episodes that were supposedly scored only by XR, but the album cover credits both JNH and XR, which I think is because the former contributed with the themes that Xander used in his episodes.

JNH is credited on the cover for vol 2. I don't think he wrote cues for these later episodes though, he just provided themes and material for XR to work with. But I could be wrong.
