Which was a terribly maudlin movie with great cinematography.
It also has great production design. Alex McDowell's airport set is amazing.

My godfathers. He'll be watching a Michael Bay all-nighter, next.

Watch the first one again then. You probably needed time to go down a level or two.
"...need time to go down..."?!
Alex, please, this is a family website!

I quite like MM:FR, but I take your point.

That music at 17:23 reminds me of the beginning of IT'S GONNA GET BETTER.
All 'n all, not bad.

Whoa! You're catching up on the future, fast, dude.

You can call off the firing squad.

Don't you mean Junkie XL, or is it a play on words?

The bell tolls for thee...Cute, Skarky, but I'm not done yet.
It's less LOSING IT, and more "when dragons grow too mighty, to slay with pen and sword..."
When and if I ever return, and put my message in a MODEM, and throw it in a cyber sea, I shall make sure that all JWfan "is all kept equal, with hatchet, axe, and saw".
To wit:
TGP, it appears that, like Anton, we both got a little hot under the collar.
While you have every right to disagree with a post, my intention was not to criticize you, or your taste in music, in any way. A great mind such as yours could not have failed to notice that films are made differently, these days. The emphasis has altered, and film scoring has reflected that.
As for "generational griping", three of my favourite scores in many a twelvemonth have been by "new composers": HIGH-RISE, THE NEON DEMON. and JACKIE. Also, I attempt to buy every new MG, and Carter Burwell CD, while maintaining a healthy interest in "past masters".
I believe that it is possible to compare those two scores, as they illustrate my original point. That you think this is not possible, is, of course, your privilege.
Reading back some of our posts, it seems that we are alike: both have very clear opinions, and both have very clear ways of expressing these, sometimes vociferously.
So...in the interest of continuing good relations at JWfan, I will attempt to "bottle the acid". Will you do the same?
The hand of friendship. Yes? No?
it's over to you...

Tell me yourself, Richard. Don't pull this driveby bullshit with me.
You should know damn well by now that I have no tolerance for what I perceive as generational griping, and hell if you aren't one of the most repeat offenders on that front. So tell me yourself! Respond. Don't count on someone else to do it for you.
So... what is it that you think I need to be told?
If I think that you might (and I do emphasise, might) have posted anything that might elicit any kind of a response from me, then, please be rest assured, you will hear from me, in good time.
Until that time comes...I wasn't talking to you. Didn't your mama tell you it was rude to listen to other people's conversations?
Stop hating yourself.
What kind of place has JWfan become, when someone can't make an offhand comment, about a piece of film music (film music, for crying out loud!!!!) without being torn a new one?
I need a rest. For now, I'm done with all this.

Ah, the American New Wave ... Even more than Bonnie & Clyde, Dog Day Afternoon made or learned us to care for the bank robbers.
Not sure if that post is cynical, or not, Alex, but, yes DDA made us care for the little man. The film is not a million miles away from all those recent "let's get our money back from those bloodsucking banks" movies.

Damn, MINORTY REPORT has overtaken A.I. in the film poll.
COME ON, fellow A.I. lovers! Vote for the best film of the 21st century already!
They chose...poorly.

Now, just a damn minute! As far as I remember, Sam Jackson died, didn't he?

Nice, now...go tell that to Whitey.

I've actually heard the complete score, all alternates, and a lot of outtakes. I also like it.

No, i meant more how the different signatures of the instrumental lines relate to one another.
Ah. Yes, it is interesting, isn't it?

Stu, STOP MAKING SENSE is the finest concert film ever made!

Both POLTERGEIST, and E.T. were the victims of union rules.
No director could direct two films at the same time, hence the appointment of Hooper as "director".
A lot of ink has been spilled over the years about POLTERGEIST, but, honestly - and even to this day - it's Tobe Hooper Vs Steven fucking Spielberg. Who do you really think is going to win..?

12 Angry Men has a very impressive and effective visual style actually.
I've always enjoyed Lumet's down-to-earth style.
DOG DAY AFTERNOON is a film of great humanity, and NETWORK is devastating, from start to finish. Pure cinematic acid!

Genius is genius, regardless of how many are involved. No one makes a film alone, just like no one writes and records a score on their own. The entire process is collaborative.
So, I guess that the "auteur" theory doesn't work, for you?
Yes, film making is a collaborative ptocess, but someone has to take responsibility for the end result, and that person is the director.
The best group score I ever heard, is for FLASH GORDON.
