Edmilson 7,384 Posted December 12, 2022 Share Posted December 12, 2022 I liked Sam Mendes' movies when they were scored by Thomas Newman (American Beauty and The Road to Perdition are two of his best scores). Now that they are scored by pop duos, I don't know if I care anymore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Disco Stu 15,495 Posted December 12, 2022 Share Posted December 12, 2022 Yes, I enjoy all of Newman's scores for Mendes (minus the Bonds), but not the movies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tallguy 3,361 Posted December 12, 2022 Share Posted December 12, 2022 I liked both of the Bonds. I recall liking Road to Perdition. I loved 1917. I despise American Beauty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Edmilson 7,384 Posted December 13, 2022 Share Posted December 13, 2022 As bad as Empire of Light appears to be (and I'm sure it's at the very least watchable), it was an opportunity for Thomas Newman to write a romantic score in the vein of Meet Joe Black or The Horse Whisperer. It's so sad Mendes didn't asked him for this specific movie. Honestly, if I could change, I'd prefer Resznor and Ross doing 1917 and Newman doing Empire of Light.

It's also unabashedly derivative, and doesn't try to hide it, or wrap it in nostalgia. It's just "Here's what you're getting, aliens & dinosaurs and people screaming".

JNHFan2000 2,943 Posted December 16, 2022 Share Posted December 16, 2022 And not just a series, it's kind of an interactive thing. "If you just watch the trailer for “Kaleidoscope,” you’re missing the biggest selling feature of the series—the release model. You see, on paper, this is a story about a major heist and the characters who make up the crew that will steal $7 billion. But you see, each episode of “Kaleidoscope” takes place in a different time period, over the course of 25 years, leading up to the big heist at the end. And Netflix is going to fuck with viewers by giving each member a different viewing order of the series. Some will get a more linear version, while others with have the time shuffled a bit more. The idea is that each person watching the show will have a different perspective on the end result, as they experience the story differently. It’s a wild concept.

How many people ONLY know 2001 through parody and pastiche? My kids refer to The Blue Danube as "The funny space music". Sometimes they say "It's from that space movie that Dad loves." Heck, by the time I saw 2001 in 1982 I knew the monolith from Sesame Street (or Electric Company?) and Also Sprach Zarathustra from... Everything?

Jay 37,281 Posted December 17, 2022 Share Posted December 17, 2022 I don't understand this line of thought. This Barbie teaser is not saying "2001 is a dumb movie, let's make fun of it", it's making a deliberate cultural reference to a popular cultural milestone, as has been done by many artists over the past 54 years and will continue to be done for many more A24 and JNHFan2000 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I felt the same when Williams' Schindler's List theme was used in a Greek comedy series, again in a kitsch way. By the way, the next Miyazaki film appears to have a date for July 14th, 2023! Hooray!
