Wojo 2,453 Posted March 19, 2015 Share Posted March 19, 2015 I couldn't hum a single Thomas Newman melody right now if you paid me. Williams, Elfman, Zimmer, Goldsmith, Giacchino, Horner, all the other Star Trek composers, and definitely Alfred and David and Randy... But not Thomas. Hmmm.

I'm even less familiar with his work than Thomas's.

Wojo 2,453 Posted March 19, 2015 Share Posted March 19, 2015 The only David Newman I've committed to memory is The Brave Little Toaster, which I have a special nostalgic fondness for. But if I'm remembering the songs that he didn't do, scratch him off the list. I never listened to Thomas' Skyfall work. The Good German is great, but I don't remember it. I couldn't hum a single Thomas Newman melody right now if you paid me. Williams, Elfman, Zimmer, Goldsmith, Giacchino, Horner, all the other Star Trek composers, and definitely Alfred and David and Randy... But not Thomas. Hmmm. I'm humming Road to Chicago as you type.Were you assuming I'd be typing a response? Dude how the fuck you know that? What are tonight Powerball numbers?

Jay 37,462 Posted March 19, 2015 Share Posted March 19, 2015 For Thomas, I remember music from Shawshank pretty well after seeing the film so many times. Skyfall is one of the most boring scores I've ever heard to an action movie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I find the main themes from Shawshank, Little Women, Finding Nemo, and even Cinderella Man quite hummable as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sharkissimo 1,973 Posted March 19, 2015 Share Posted March 19, 2015 I never listened to Thomas' Skyfall work.Give it a listen. M's Theme is quite memorable, though it's a homphonic brass chorale, so no long-lined melody. Classic Newman. Dixon Hill 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wojo 2,453 Posted March 19, 2015 Share Posted March 19, 2015 Why do we still have homophonic music? It's 2015. Music should be more tolerant of gay people. Sharkissimo 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dixon Hill 4,234 Posted March 19, 2015 Share Posted March 19, 2015 If it's taken until now for you to seek out proof of Newman's great ability, I'm betting you won't be impressed by any of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
