Wojo 2,453 Posted June 5, 2009 Share Posted June 5, 2009 I agree about the laughing part. This score is so tongue-in-cheek heavy with over the top dramatic sap...I love it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ollie 1,059 Posted June 5, 2009 Share Posted June 5, 2009 I would have loved to have attended the scoring sessions for Airplane! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ollie 1,059 Posted June 5, 2009 Share Posted June 5, 2009 I would have been 11 or 12, based on the time of the sessions, but as an adult it would have been fun to watch the orchestra performing this over the top serious music and most of them not knowing what's going on behind them on the screen.

Wojo 2,453 Posted June 5, 2009 Share Posted June 5, 2009 Yes, I'm sure without the straight faced dialogue, most of the humor is lost when you watch the film on silent movie mode. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hlao-roo 389 Posted June 15, 2009 Share Posted June 15, 2009 I normally don't associate the film with the music when I listen to scores but I couldn't quit laughing as I played the disc.It's certainly a terrific score, but the listening experience benefits considerably from a halo effect by way of the film's legacy.

Maxxie 1 Posted June 21, 2009 Share Posted June 21, 2009 EDIT: - Just realised when Airplane! came out....... Anyone else here think that the whole "Molumbo" scene is a kind of parody of Raiders and Temple of Doom? There's the music (similar to the opening of Raiders), the people (similar to the villagers in Temple) and the elephants (Temple again). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Corellian2019 386 Posted June 2, 2020 Share Posted June 2, 2020 From The Digital Bits (underlined by me): Quote Then following on 7/21 from Paramount is an Airplane: Paramount Presents Blu-ray (as well as a Blu-ray Steelbook) mastered from a new 4K transfer supervised by the directors, a new Filmmaker Focus piece, a new 2020 Egyptian Theater Q&A with the filmmakers, the previously released audio commentary, and a new isolated audio track with Elmer Bernstein’s score. Who would have thought that Paramount of all studios would be the heavy hitter in the isolated score business? Jay 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crumbs 14,319 Posted June 2, 2020 Share Posted June 2, 2020 4K Airplane?! YES! I always thought the previous transfer looked very dark and dated. Hopefully this improves the quality somewhat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
