Hlao-roo 389 Posted November 20, 2002 Share Posted November 20, 2002 Hey, I saw this over at moviemusic.com's message boards...it's a cool little diversion. What film composer are you? [link no longer active]I got this on my first try:Wow, you're John Williams! It's no secret that everybody thinks you're the greatest thing since sliced bread! You're smart, sensitive, funny, energetic: whatever your friends need, you can provide it, and for that people flock to you. If you have any flaws, one is that sometimes you can go overboard - you say too much too often, or you give something a shove when all it requires is a tap - but in the end it doesn't matter. Your charm, talent, sensitivity, and reliability make you invaluable to those around you. You've scored such films as Star Wars (the entire series), Jaws, E.T., Raiders of the Lost Ark, Jurassic Park, Schindler's List, Stepmom, Home Alone, Superman, and Harry Potter. You've won FIVE Oscars, and there have been only six times in the past thirty years that you haven't been nominated for something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EvanED 1 Posted November 20, 2002 Share Posted November 20, 2002 "You're Danny Elfman! No one ever thought you'd come as far as you have (or are going to). You have a reputation for being quirky, even weird, but you've proven time and again that you also have the brains and the sensitivity to get through pretty much anything. You've also got a great sense of humor. Snobs dislike you for making it look so easy; everyone else thinks you're cool. You've scored such films as Batman, Beetlejuice, Edward Scissorhands, The Nightmare Before Christmas, Black Beauty, Dolores Claiborne, Men in Black, Good Will Hunting, and Spider-Man. You also wrote the theme from The Simpsons."Not John Williams, but quite respectable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
charlesk 0 Posted November 20, 2002 Share Posted November 20, 2002 "Congradulations, you're Jerry Goldsmith! You're versatile, reliable, and almost everybody loves you! You had your full share of new experiences long ago, and by now you know exactly what works. You can handle virtually all situations imaginable with an equal amount of ease. You've scored such films as Patton, Planet of the Apes (the original), Total Recall, Rudy, Medicine Man, Basic Instinct, Star Trek: The Motion Picture, Gremlins, Poltergeist, Hoosiers, Mulan, The Mummy, and The Omen (for which you won an Oscar)."Oh, my God, I've got Goldsmith.

Jim Ware 526 Posted November 20, 2002 Share Posted November 20, 2002 Well, I was Goldsmith earlier today, but after taking the test again...You're Howard Shore! Nobody ever knows what you're going to do next. Every time they turn around you're trying out something you've never done before, and you always handle it was care and talent. Still, some people get annoyed with your individual style, and while many people may appreciate you as a friend, it doesn't mean they always enjoy your company. Still, they know they can come to you in hard times, and you always pull through. There's never been a problem you couldn't solve. You've scored such films as Big, The Fly, The Silence of the Lambs, Mrs. Doubtfire, Philadelphia, Seven, Dogma, The Cell, Panic Room, and The Lord of the Rings, for which you just won your first Oscar. You were also the very first musical director on Saturday Night Live, and you wrote the opening theme to Late Night with Conan O'Brien. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

charlesk 0 Posted November 20, 2002 Share Posted November 20, 2002 Well. he made me started to buy scores...Oh, that's why I got Goldsmith, even though I'm rather a Williams' fan. The Omen (1976) was the first movie that got me curious about movie soundtracks. Then it came Star Wars (1977). Weird how this test works. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oskar 77 Posted November 20, 2002 Share Posted November 20, 2002 Whoa, this test is great!What a surpriseI'm actually my second fav composer!!Allthough after reading this, I'm not quite sure if that's something to be so happy about Hmm, you're Elliot Goldenthal. You're a genius, but what's with the negative attitude? You're a true original with a style all your own, but you need to lighten up: all that darkness is driving people away!

Eplicon 53 Posted November 21, 2002 Share Posted November 21, 2002 Mine was Howard Shore. I don't listen to his music all that much, but I suppose I can live with it.

Morlock 11 Posted November 21, 2002 Share Posted November 21, 2002 IMO Goldenthal is a bit overrated. My money's on Thomas Newman as the leading composer of his generation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mahler3 478 Posted November 21, 2002 Share Posted November 21, 2002 Goldenthal? You kidding me? His way of writing Batman Forever was a joke... at least in my opinion.What about 'Michael Collins', 'Final Fantasy', 'A Time To Kill, 'Titus' & 'Interview With A Vampire'? Brilliant scores. Can't think of anyone else that writes such manic yet powerful horn passages.'Batman Forever' suited the movie perfectly. Noisey, brash, comical & zany. The 'Circus Top' cue rules!

At 8 composers, he decided that enough was enough; besides, to run through the whole catalog of composers would've appeared pretentious. He wanted to emphasize that this test was in no way intended to be professional...Goldenthal, huh, Morn? Somehow I'm not surprised. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're loud, energetic, and immensely popular (despite a substantial group of detractors). You're also great at teamwork, and you're a born leader: everyone around you wants to be like you. Still, people are starting to find you redundant and predictable; try a little diversification, and prove those critics wrong! You've scored such films as Rain Man, Backdraft, A League of Their Own, True Romance, The Lion King, Drop Zone, Crimson Tide, The Rock, The Thin Red Line, Gladiator, Pearl Harbor, and Black Hawk Down.Now I feel somewhat embarassed.If I got JNH or Danny Elfman, I'd be fine with it...but not Zimmer.

Melange 446 Posted November 22, 2002 Share Posted November 22, 2002 Mmm.. Look at this i found on the net You are Justin. You are 15 years old and live like Tom Sawyer in a remote outback of the United States with Aunt molly . You have a fondness for Guinea Pigs and the music of Hans Zimmer (although your loyalty lies firmly with John Williams). You have a tendency to visit baseball games and play James Horner's score to Field of Dreams while hiding under a tarpallin in the mid day sun eating fava beans with mongolian Yak butter. It enhances your experience of the gathering you claim and you keep your keen eye on the coach wondering if his liver would taste good with a nice ciantii. People have asked you about the ingredients you use in your cooking and you always reply with a calm "I'm afraid if i told you.....you would'nt even try" (which never fails to raise a laugh from your dinner guests). Huckleberry Finn is your loyal and devoted friend since he escaped from the mountain of Mordor and left that awful cult of the Fellowship, and you enjoy days out fishing on the Missisipi river looking for Hobbit enclaves. You have scored such noted films as "Pirahna 2" and "Swedish whores in Baghdad". Your religion is strictly Thugee and your fanatical devotion to the Goddess Kali is cleverly hidden under the veil of loving the soundtrack to Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom. You sport an enormous tatoo on your back which extends from your shoulder to your toes :wow: You claim its for cosmetic purposes only. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're the ultimate leech, a suck-on artist who excels at nothing more than replacing other people and destroying things that would otherwise have been perfectly fine if not for your influence. The only reason people come to you for anything is because they can't get anyone else to do it--and everyone hates you for doing it instead of someone more qualified! No one knows where you came from or what you're doing here, and nearly everyone is hoping you'll kiss off soon. You've submarined the great Jerry Goldsmith's score for Legend, and "scored" (whatever!) such films as Thief, umm....uhhh....well, frankly, aside from that crap hardly anyone remembers just what you've done, so....anyway....:cry:Just kidding....I got Jerry Goldsmith.
