Muad'Dib 1,802 Posted February 8, 2014 Share Posted February 8, 2014 I've been saying this since I saw Lost in La Mancha, but he needs to do this film in animation form! The storyboards and the style of the drawings in general is absolutely kick-ass, there's no way he's going to capture the soul of those storyboards in live-action. If he did it in traditional animation, my God, it would the most glorious thing ever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KK 3,307 Posted February 11, 2014 Share Posted February 11, 2014 Well that's probably the best part of the music. I've heard the rest of the score is more of the "dubstep" and ostinati. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A24 4,346 Posted February 11, 2014 Share Posted February 11, 2014 It's normal for contemporary music genres to be reflected in their cinematic counterparts. There was a lot of Jazz-Funk influence in '70s scoring, New Wave in '80s scoring, Grunge/Alternative in '90s scoring ... Grow with the times, folks!

#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 10,265 Posted February 11, 2014 Share Posted February 11, 2014 Is there a pronounced difference between Grunge and other forms or "hard rock" that would really make it noticeably different in a film score?Genre music in film scores are often merely a simulation. Many "jazz" scores arent actually jazz for instance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are pretty pronounced differences for the trained ear, but it depends on how pop-savvy a composer is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 10,265 Posted February 11, 2014 Share Posted February 11, 2014 Also Grunge didnt really have a long stretch of popularity. Not enough to sort of define a decade. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 10,265 Posted February 11, 2014 Share Posted February 11, 2014 For me personally. Techno. It seemed to be enjoy the most enduring popularity and growth in the 90's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sharkissimo 1,973 Posted February 11, 2014 Share Posted February 11, 2014 Well, in the UK that'd be Britpop (Blur, Oasis, Pulp, Suede, Manics, Supergrass etc.), followed by trip-hop, jungle, acid house etc. Britpop in many senses was a reaction to grunge, and the increasing Americanisation of British culture thanks to Thatcher.

Jay 37,373 Posted February 11, 2014 Share Posted February 11, 2014 Also Grunge didnt really have a long stretch of popularity. Not enough to sort of define a decade.Maybe not for you. For me, it defined the 90s for sure. I have a ton of grunge albums and went to a ton of grunge concertsKurt Cobain's death is my earliest memory of a celebrity death affecting me. Just that thought of "woah... there will be no more Nirvana songs now, because the guy is dead...." I was 14 years old and eating at Burger King with my mom and bro when I found out.

#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 10,265 Posted February 11, 2014 Share Posted February 11, 2014 Well, each person has it's own experiences of course. But Grunge, and the whole Seattle scene became huge with Nirvana, but also kinda died with it. In terms of worldwide public interest.I'm sure there were plenty of genres popular in the 60's other then Rock & Roll, but they arent really remembered now.Well, in the UK that'd be Britpop (Blur, Oasis, Pulp, Suede, Manics, Supergrass etc.), followed by trip-hop, jungle, acid house etc.Britpop in many senses was a reaction to grunge, and the increasing Americanisation of British culture thanks to Thatcher.Britpop was pretty big here too. I'm guessing Grunge was more popular in America for longer then it was in Europe.and...DOWN WITH THATCHER! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sharkissimo 1,973 Posted February 11, 2014 Share Posted February 11, 2014 I'm guessing Grunge was more popular in America for longer then it was in Europe.

Wojo 2,453 Posted February 11, 2014 Share Posted February 11, 2014 Grunge helped make "alternative rock" popular, and that's what defined the decade. Except alternative rock has been the mainstream rock for over twenty years now, so I'm not sure it's still alternative. Techno music has been around longer if you include synthesizer music and it's been popular at dance clubs, but that's not really a mainstream activity, or at least not something people constantly listen to when the sun is up.

#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 10,265 Posted February 11, 2014 Share Posted February 11, 2014 In the 90's techno, house, trance etc was HUGE here.
