    Leonard Rosenman scored Howard Shore? Now that's an image I won't get out of my head.

    It's boring as fuck compared to S1&2. Great swathes of nothingness, punctuated by occasional moments of fleeting intrigue and wonder, but they are few and far between.

    The year is 2236.  Yavar has just installed his detached head on to his newest cyborg body before sitting down to discuss Planet of the Apes on The Goldsmith Odyssey.

    Edmilson got a reaction from Jost1 in Favorite short musical moments in Williams scores?   
    Always loved this cue:
     
     
    Williams suspense/conspiratorial scoring was simply amazing circa 2002: the Kamino music, Presenting the Pre Cogs, The Arrival at Tatooeine (specifically when the Lars family tells Anakin what happened to his mother), the wonderful Anakin Changes, The Writing on the Wall... But Petrified Justin is by far my favorite. The low key performances of Philosopher's Stone 1M1 Prologue, the Spiders theme and the Chamber theme create a creepy, unsettling atmosphere. 
     
    Then, starting on 1:36, we hear dramatic, sad strings and harp as Harry says to McGonagall he is innocent, but she says only Dumbledore can help him now (or something like that). The combination of Williams' music with Maggie Smith's performance really sells the idea of the horrible gravity of the situation, all culminating in a great fanfare for Dumbledore's office.
     
    It's very easy to fright moviegoers with jump scares and dissonant violins. But much less common is to create an atmosphere of danger and menace, specially on a kids movie - in other words, when not even the head of your house compreehends entirely what is happening and how to stop the attacks, well, you're fucked.

    Edmilson got a reaction from HunterTech in What Is The Last Score You Listened To? (older scores)   
    Mission Impossible - Fallout by Lorne Balfe
     
    Just listened to a complete edit that was circuling around. 
     
    Balfe has been the most loyal and devoted Zimmer apprentice - and by that, I mean the one that followed his gospels more faithfully, instead of comitting the heresy of creating his own musical voice (like Powell, HGW and, hell, even JXL). This score sounds like a mix between The Dark Knight Rises, Inception and Mad Max: Fury Road, and him turning the classic Schifrin themes into RCP-style epic anthems is woefully misguided. It's rather funny to see Balfe posting enthusiatic pics of the big orchestra he used on his social media, when if fact the whole score sounds very overproduced, much to the way people seem to like these days.
     
    Look, this guy clearly have (some) talent. I really like the Ethan's regret theme, it is sad, emotional and gives the movie almost an apocalyptic, fateful, vibe. However, the action music, with a few exceptions is uninspired, unoriginal, boring and tiresome to hear. 
     
    Anyway, it's not the worst score ever made, it's probably not even the worse of the last year. It has some good ideas and great moments. But I would really like to see Balfe developing his own identity, instead of just copying and paste his mentor on everything he does.

    “Interesting times”? More like “scary as f*** times.” Like @Edmilson said, this is technology begging to be misused. 
     
    I’ll wryly call attention to Ian Malcolm‘s trenchant line here, but it was not much fun to watch that video. At least for me.

    The quality of the show may have dropped, but Giacchino's music actually got better on the later seasons.

    Seriously though, this is quite possibly the worst composer/movie matchup in cinematic history. They should have just gotten Debney to do it, his score for the first one fit just fine.

    I saw the recording dates per cue for ANH, AOTC and ROTS, but I don't remember seeing one for the Potter movies.
     
    I know that the first two were recorded between late August and early September (during the 9/11, JW was in London for the final recordings of PS) and PoA was recorded in March.

    Hollywood will build a Kamino-like factory of Lorne Balfe clones, that will score every movie from now on. Then, Zimmer will finally fulfill his dream of every film score sounding just like The Dark Knight Rises.
