Why wouldn't a DVD player read a CD?

That movie is great until they get to the pub.

You know, it really start to annoy me calling any computerised music or some band stuff being called a 'score'. That's not a score. That's music done by a couple of blokes in their bedrooms.
And no, I don't agree. Both Social Network and Dragon Tattoo are steaming pile of turds.
And what annoys me is that people such as yourself limit the definition of music to orchestral music. That's just insane in the literal sense of the word.
I didn't mate, scoring refers to the craft of multiple instruments composed and orchestrated for various ensamples.
Songs have a melody and a couple of chords and electronic music is put together with an electronic sequencer.
Scoring refers to music composed specifically for a film or production, whether by a full blown orchestra, a pianoman or some guy on a kazoo.

You can't arbitrarily decide what a score is based on whether or not you like it.
-
Hooray for comedy edition sizes.
-
yay! so lincoln is already shot. (sorry for the pun). Williams will live to score this one
i hope.
ANd robopocalipse this sonn also, great.
The wait for tintin 2 will be shorter...
Yep, as directed by PJ. Wonder if he'll keep JW.
-
They should give this to Paul Verhoeven and Phil Tippett. And have Goldenthal score it.
-
Not recently, but you're right, it's available as an MAF.
-
Hey man, Bernard Herrmann could probably cook up a kick ass Bond score.
So could Goldsmith.
They should fire Newman and buy the rights to the Flint scores,

Well the host was human (Kane).
the Alien 3 one is supposed to look more like a dog or ox.
True, but that lifecycle change was introduced in the third film. I wonder if Ridley will embrace it.
-
Yeah, the grown-up version. Behind the opaque dome (which Cameron removed for his aliens) is a humanoid skull.
-
I wonder whether this will explain why the original alien had a partially-human skull.
-
It's also an absolute pile of wank.
-
FIRST BLOOD is essential, as is KING KONG and JANE EYRE.
-
I get sick of ET but I never get sick of Jaws.
On the subject of E.T. though - I presume the Blu release is first and foremost the unmolested version?
According to Spielberg last year, yes.
I'm just as excited by the Universal monsters, especially BRIDE OF FRANKENSTEIN.

ROADHOUSE is amazing. RENEGADES is ok I guess.
I'm disappointed track ten of the former is not called 'I Used To Fuck Guys Like You In Prison!'
-
I don't count songs because, with obvious exceptions, they're not generally created to serve a film. It's like Tarantino and his Morricone obsession. It sticks out like a sore thumb and it just makes me think 'Dude, if you jizz over his music this much, get him to write a freaking score for you.'
-
Good luck to him!
-
Arnold says it was Mendes' decision, although mentions working on 50th anniversary stuff (expanded scores?)
-
I think it happens too often - repurposing another score for whatever needs (yes, you Tarantino). It can certainly work, but I sometimes wonder why, especially with something like VERTIGO, which is at least known to film nerds if not the general populace. It can be pretty jarring to watch a movie and hear a piece of film music you're familiar with (although admittedly I rehaven't seen the film in question), although at least it does feature original score as well. That said, Novak's comments were a bit OTT, but I can understand them, even if she is a bit nuts.

"[spielberg is] a much younger man than I am and he will go on a lot longer than I'll be able to, but for the time being we're having a wonderful time. Time goes by so quickly," Williams said. "Steven and I, when we're working together we're so much in the now, in this moment. There isn't a past, there isn't a future, you're so completely absorbed and concentrated. If you do that long enough, you suddenly realize, my God, I'm 80 years old, what happened? What happened was a well-spent, focused period of time."
Well, when I read this at the end of the piece a little tear formed in my eyes...
Me too. A beautiful sentiment.
-
I agree, Trent's work is fantastic.
*See, I can echo that sentiment without having to pointlessly denigrate someone else's work.

I remember reading JW being pissed that they put it out with his name as the producer.
