AI 0 Posted December 23, 2006 Share Posted December 23, 2006 But note, no LOTR option. That would be mean, and incite bad vibes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gkgyver 1,646 Posted December 23, 2006 Share Posted December 23, 2006 Thank god. I don't need another Shore discussion right before Christmas eve.I picked Striptease. It's the only one I've never heard, and the other three are perfect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BLUMENKOHL 1,070 Posted December 23, 2006 Share Posted December 23, 2006 Problem is, none of those movies would be the same without their Howard Shore scores.And if anything, Williams would most likely ruin Se7en or Silence of the Lambs. Especially Se7en. I cannot imagine anything being better for the entire end Desert scene than what Shore delivered.And Striptease has a 5 minute score.

Ollie 1,064 Posted December 23, 2006 Share Posted December 23, 2006 Nothing, Shore doesn't need any of his scores replaced. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alfredo 0 Posted December 23, 2006 Share Posted December 23, 2006 I went striptease. Why? Cause its hilarious. Could you imagine a dvd featurette on the music of striptease with Williams in it. Hilarious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I cannot imagine anything being better for the entire end Desert scene than what Shore delivered.Indeed.I don't know Striptease, and I've never been that excited about the Aviator score (too little polyphony in too many pseudo fugues)... but then, I haven't yet seen that movie, and with Shore, that often makes a big difference.

We already got some great JW flying music in 04' for PoA. Shore's music for The Aviator is fantastic, particularly the inspired flying music.I don't know Striptease, and I've never been that excited about the Aviator score (too little polyphony in too many pseudo fugues)... but then, I haven't yet seen that movie, and with Shore, that often makes a big difference. I think you should definately check it out. I thought it was a great movie, and Shore's work enhances the film very well (Again, particularly the flying sequences). It's really amazing how Shore captured Hughes musically...one of the best biopics I've seen, and the best score for one. And I know what you mean about hearing Shore scores before seeing the movies....when I first heard The Aviator theme, I thought it sounded like a weak LoTR impression. Not really. Most of it is cut out. They used Bach instead, which kind of makes sense. None of it was cut. Shore said he was so inspired by the film tha the decided to expand on his work for the album. His cue 'Icarus' was written for a scene that Shore knew Scorsese had already planned on using the Bach fugue for. A shame, because it is a brilliant cue, one of the best in recent years, but Shore wrote it knowing it would only appear on the album. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JMan 0 Posted December 23, 2006 Share Posted December 23, 2006 Howard shore had great scores for LOTR, but after that Im not too interested. The theme from History of Violence is a shire theme. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Morlock 11 Posted December 23, 2006 Share Posted December 23, 2006 You mean his Tom Stall theme. His theme for the family's acceptance of Joey is great, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marian Schedenig 8,239 Posted December 24, 2006 Share Posted December 24, 2006 His score to Se7en doesn't really scream "buy me" either, and yet it's absolutely perfect for its movie. The finale is stunning.Howard shore had great scores for LOTR,And before that, too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
