Unlucky Bastard

I just thought it was a given that film score fans would be more inquisitive and be more proactive in exploring where all that romanticism, expressionism, impressionism, barbarism, modernism, -ism, -ism, -ism, -asm, etc. all came from and how it developed over the last few hundred years. I can only conclude that the contextualisation of "the movies" plays a big role in the film music fan's psyche (no shit, I guess).

Another problem is so many film scores now don't even come out on CD. They're only available on the internet, so I never get to hear them.

It gave me gas

Hulo is showing his lack of taste!

Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade
 
Has one great bit, “Scherzo for Motorcycle”, but other than that was a disappointingly uninteresting listen. Couldn’t hear any thematic material, which is strangely unlike Temple of Doom where I can recall Short Round’s theme off the top of my head. 
 
I put on Powell’s HTTYD3 shortly afterward to wash away the boredom and it really brought attention to what a much better storyteller Powell is. I rarely hear Williams telling a story through music, I usually just hear him pulling out his usual bag of tricks, complete with his action music that could be applied anywhere. 

La La Land is indeed very lame. I think of it as a very millennial movie - safe, bloodless, tame with none of the real ache of real "real life" in it. It is an infantilized movie - like say Marriage Story. 
 
It is kinda remarkable how much more older films are made for adults than the mild diversions made today.

Eventually, Dom and The Gang will have to race to secure the last gas cars in California before the government seizes them.

I think he's a good man.

This is where we post about Dom Toretto and his automotive adventures to save the world and win street races.

Wrong.

It's shit

Joan was perhaps a bit mumsy compared to Liz's unapologetic sultriness. Both the De Havilands had a matronly squarishness about them that made them both a bit outdated by the newly developing edginess of the 1950s.

Torture

James Sneaker's Horners

I've got enough.

I imagine once the complete score is released everyone here will suddenly change their tune after 30 years (20 in the case of the millennial and Gen Z twits) and adore it.
 
"The most underrated Spielberg/Williams collaboration?"
 
"Almost as great as Harry Potter"

The Last Jedi

The recording and performance of the film version is kinda clunky, but the album recording is great.
