    I probably would never have gotten into film music, and quite possibly orchestral/classical music. I can't overstate the impact Williams has had on my musical direction. He prevented me from having an Hoobastank phase.

    Also, John was listed for two other scores in that section, so it's probably just confusion.

    Wolf's Rain gets really good in the second half. Extremely sad though.

    That's not entirely unique to these types of live projection performances, that sometimes happens even in the standard classical repertoire.

    Those Chewie socks can be a good conversation starter in a business meeting. It's also a bad deal closer in that same meeting.

    Art was cool, just didn't really feel like an opening sequence to a show. Music was awful though.

    Hope she recovers quickly. In the interim, here're some TV series she can digest while convalescing that might be of interest based on the genre and tone you're looking for: Ergo Proxy Kara no Kyokai Death Note (not the Netflix movie) Steins; Gate Erased Serial Experiments Lain Attack on Titan And possibly these, but the tone can vary. Code Geass Full Metal Panic! (borderline, it has some teen romcom stuff that can get annoying if she hates that genre) Future Diary

    Way too long for this show.

    Unexpected to hear Eschenbach conduct Williams. Good performance too.

    I had never heard of him before today, I just saw someone post a track from the Peter Pan project he composed, and I was impressed by it. Unfortunately that was 10 years ago, and it doesn't seem like he's worked on much where he could take advantage of that type of musical language. Certainly seems capable. Would love to see him join forces with a director who could exploit that skill more.

    I don't need any more Muse than what's on "Absolution".

    Well, I would disagree with your strict assessment of the theme. Its use is most definitely consistent with representing the idea of the Force in a broad sense, and through it, it can also represent Ben in a more specific sense in Star Wars. It completely works when taken in snapshot of the entire franchise, and doesn't stick out at all compared to the other examples you mentioned.

    Some of the vocal backlash sprouting up now seems disproportionately loud compared to what I perceive to be love, or at the very least joy, for TFA by most of the fans. I don't quite get it. Perhaps they're upset Jurassic World fanatics. It seems de rigueur recently to hate on Abrams, and I'm not someone who feels particularly driven to come to his defense.

    Henry Cowell - The Snows of Fujiyama Looked him up after hearing Williams mention him in an interview. Most of what I heard is not my cup of tea, but this is kind of a hypnotic piece.

    Haven't watched it yet. While I enjoyed season 4 more than season 3, I find my interest in the show waning. So this isn't the final season?

    KANEDAAAAAAAAAA!!!!

    So at least during Mike's lifetime. Goooooood.

    Looks more like a poster for Season 1, or just playing on what people already know.

    Unfortunately I am unable due to other things going on. Had I acted on it earlier I could have locked that date in. But, I may consider Force Awakens. Edit: Looks like I'm busy that day as well.

    Every great or interesting artist has at least one masterpiece locked inside them. Lynch's sensibilities as a filmmaking are such that it almost prevents him from achieving that mark, but he can get it done every now and then and make a good film, like Lost Highway, Elephant Man, or Straight Story. With Mullholland Drive, he took enormous risks in the structure, acting, and storytelling, but for which all cylinders fired correctly, and it became his masterpiece.
  22. nightscape94
    True. The foreign market also is very important, probably the most important, in terms of reaching that mark. Because Avatar was a global phenomenon, that goes a long way in securing its sequels with box office success. Many of these big superhero movies end up doing very well, don't get me wrong, but not all of them latch onto the global psyche in the same way. Though we're slowly getting to the point where ticket prices are forcing that box office average up to where a billion isn't as mindboggling as it was 20 years ago when Titanic reached it.
  23. nightscape94
    Well, it certainly doesn't mean anything artistically speaking, but it's still a solid benchmark for the general box office success of a movie relative to its competition. The billion dollar mark won't measure up once the majority of films reach that peak more consistently.
  24. nightscape94
    Looks great!

    Just stumbled this passive aggressive statement in a rather unintentionally hilarious 1977 review of Star Wars by John Simon: "John Williams's music is good when it does not heave too much" We all know how much John likes his heaving.
