It depends of the movie and the score, but in general I think I spend more time listening to music than watching movies.

So, the movie is 69 minutes long, but the Intrada album is 74 minutes. That means there are 5 minutes of unused material in the score. I think we're gonna need a spreadsheet detailing all this.

It's okay. Has some good moments for piano and strings. But the album is extremely long, almost 90 minutes of music with little variation from one track to another. Apparently, Jon Broxton loved it though.

"No way" as in "he did other good scores before" or as in "the score is bad"?

BFG is a very "meh" score. Not bad, just... meh.

What is the Mandalorian theme doing at 0:16 of the suite?

I haven't watched season 1 yet. For the people who have, is it really Lorne Balfe's first good score?

Gunn about his new Suicide Squad movie: https://www.empireonline.com/movies/news/the-suicide-squad-james-gunn-relates-david-ayer-film-different-guardians-exclusive-images/ Yeah, sure. As if DC won't use the Lazarus Pit to bring Harley back if he ends up killing her in TSS.

I haven't said it's a good movie, I said it's a good movie to watch with your friends. It's the experience of watching Aquaman with friends that is good, not the movie itself (although I personally consider the movie okay when taken on its own).

Wow, that was really what I wasn't expecting. I was hoping for something more epic like Wyatt Earp. Instead, it seems to be an atmospheric, sparse score. I have no problem with that, and this suite is wonderful.

Thanks!

Aquaman is a good film to watch with friends, which was what I did. It looks great on a theater screen also.

Anyone knows when and how this was recorded? JNH is in the risk group for Covid, so if the recording sessions happened after March, they had to happen with the utmost security for everyone involved.

Filming on Shang Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings have officially wrapped. https://www.instagram.com/p/CGt_BaoJ76Z/?utm_source=ig_embed

Here in Brazil this movie used to be a joke, due to its countless direct-to-video sequels that were constantly airing on both cable and broadcast TV. I remember as a child the TV annoucing "The Land Before Time Part 13" and finding that hilarious. Only as an adult that I found out that this movie is well regarded despite the sequels, mostly among film music fans. It has received a lame name here, "Em Busca do Vale Encantado" (Searching for the Enchanted Valley).

Just listened to the score. I dunno, it felt somewhat restrained. Some parts feel like they belong in Infinity War, and there's some good emotional material that reminded me of Contact and Forrest Gump, but the whole score sounds a bit restrained, without reaching its fullest potential. Also, it's a really tiresome album to hear from start to finish.

My vote goes for the SE edition of ROTJ. And come on guys, Attack of the Clones' score isn't that bad. Also, people here were weird back in 2002, heh.

I listened to Infinity War again the other day. and I was surprised with how much I liked it. There's some boring parts, but it still packs a huge emotional punch.

I think I read somewhere that Horner likes to record very long cues. There is some cues in his career that are over 11 minutes long, all recorded in one take. He wasn't like Williams, who liked to cut his long cues into smaller ones (Quidditch in HPPS, for instance).

As everyone here knows, the music in the second Avengers movie is a poor mixed mess. Last year, both of the the recording sessions from composers Brian Tyler and Danny Elfman leaked. So, I decided to see what was the original intention of them with the movie, before Disney and Marvel interfered. 1. Opening For the actual movie, this scene is scored with tracked music from the first Avengers, then bits here and there from Tyler and Elfman mixed so low you can't hear no music. Brian Tyler version https://drive.google.com/file/d/1DHVG64mVDjZ2OWRE0LJsz67YZXMi0H39/view?usp=sharing Tyler originally scored the first action scene of the movie with his own Avengers theme. I decided to restore also his Marvel fanfare he composed for The Dark World. The footage of the movie mostly fits with Tyler's cue 1m01-02B Watch Your Language, with the exception of one black screen that I had to add. Danny Elfman version https://drive.google.com/file/d/1PUwB4DDzuCi5-D_uW9HuDCDlYRW8YRZA/view?usp=sharing Elfman scored it with some action music that is less showy than Tyler's. The footage fits with the available cues, suggesting the cut he scored was more "final" than Tyler's. 2. Title Card The movie uses Tyler's version. Let's see how Elfman's version was supposed to be: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1_L7HnIbUQ8YtXmlWRieykgztAjpkX0Rv/view?usp=sharing It fits. 3. Arrival at base The movie again uses a tracked cue from Silvestri. Brian Tyler version https://drive.google.com/file/d/1qoiweyITlTqCEew2jK4SUZws9ykTSTb_/view?usp=sharing Tyler scores the scene with his new Avengers theme. Danny Elfman version https://drive.google.com/file/d/1vYydydFiUrrTHIj3Pd60MbhSGMMNKh79/view?usp=sharing Much like Tyler, Elfman also scored the scene with his theme. 4. Ultron crashes the party Scored with bits from everyone on the actual film (and again mixed very low). Brian Tyler version https://drive.google.com/file/d/1PnU0poAmnWP47JzJsA25KWFTN8q8BGTA/view?usp=sharing Danny Elfman version https://drive.google.com/file/d/1lYKQdJiRyOfnip-wq9_RFjtiIWRn1roA/view?usp=sharing Both versions fit the footage, which means that they didn't mess with this scene after the scoring sessions. 5. Hawkeye's Farm Brian Tyler version https://drive.google.com/file/d/1SgG9Rw7Qe3UcmUgNxKIb9McvOvoDxL94/view?usp=sharing Danny Elfman version https://drive.google.com/file/d/1FpbHYMqXQ90DyeO216BHAGWCATvLZ2DK/view?usp=sharing Both fit the footage. 6. Seoul Chase Since the sessions only included two small cues from Elfman for this setpiece, I decided to restore it with Tyler's original intent: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1Y-95fEcwZt4LF1okV_FoUFy2ls42Rsw1/view?usp=sharing Mostly fits, despite the black screens and a few cuts here and there. 7. Birth of Vision Brian Tyler version https://drive.google.com/file/d/1JRwcnl3yqrZwQ-jeZdfKAcyZQpQGMTpn/view?usp=sharing Danny Elfman version https://drive.google.com/file/d/1tFVlEwzln8zfZNWHcQxe5qGq7g5yDlpA/view?usp=sharing Mosty fits, despite the fact I had to make a cut in Tyler's version and add a black screen to Elfman's. 8. The Battle of Sokovia/Hawkeye's speech Brian Tyler version https://drive.google.com/file/d/1EHdmgXvo9eW8nfzLc2M9VKv0Mew0VgH5/view?usp=sharing Danny Elfman version https://drive.google.com/file/d/13f3VyJ5StQxjVI01rpcXPDSBpVT702jG/view?usp=sharing That was complicated! Presumably the climax of the movie went through several changes after the scoring sessions, removing some scenes, which is why I had to include several black screens in Tyler's version. Elfman just provided one alternate for Hawkeye's speech to Wanda, which went unused. 9. Fury and SHIELD save the day For the film version, Tyler had to re-record Silvestri's Helicarrier cue from the first movie. Here's his first attempt with his theme: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1PK0DfbLZD6Zvn0q_RmXv9ODbSqO1kE71/view?usp=sharing 10. Avengers Unite The film uses Elfman's cue for this scene. Tyler's cue was hard to fit, I had to guess where it begins, and I'm still not totally satisfied with it. https://drive.google.com/file/d/1dsn77BM6_RMNEPdE7olqXTYtfZ5-IDzr/view?usp=sharing 11. Homecoming The film again uses Elfman's version. Tyler's version would be something like this: https://drive.google.com/file/d/191ObNaHh1G8EmIyxAgarmqwwz4aMd4II/view?usp=sharing 12. New Avengers The film again tracks another cue from Silvestri. Here's Tyler's and Elfman's attempts: Brian Tyler version https://drive.google.com/file/d/1TfMFQ3MbLRDiwpqFpzfhxanXNjw-EEtI/view?usp=sharing Danny Elfman version https://drive.google.com/file/d/1usfojeOgF0uwi2xq4QpbsfFgVR95WA2e/view?usp=sharing 13. End Credits The film uses Elfman's version of the credits. Here is Tyler's version, including his own Avengers theme: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1Rt4KMKKAUQjzfdXSJVTm28f1Rcsr_kvQ/view?usp=sharing

Apple? Are they crazy? No one subscribes to that! And even if they get the movie, people will only use the free trial to watch it and then bye bye.

No? So who is doing Croods 2?

Jon Broxton of MMUK loved the score:

I'm also on team "Batman Returns > Batman", but I haven't listened to both scores in years. I hope to rectify this on the next few weeks.
