The Big Man 7624 Posted February 19 Share Posted February 19 Most films I have no desire to hear the score on its own. I'm selective as hell, and really, the ratio of boring scores vs interesting scores is probably staggering. Most of them bring no added value other than being merely functional, so I struggle to see any leisure value from them. Not to mention I tend to watch a movie every night, so I often feel like I'm scraping the bottom of the barrel. The last film I watched that made me want to rush out and buy the score was Silverado, and that was a few months ago. Link to post Share on other sites

I simply find his claim that he listens to the scores to every film and show he watches to be far fetched. Unless he doesn't watch much.

I simply find his claim that he listens to the scores to every film and show he watches to be far fetched. Unless he doesn't watch much. I watch on average probably about 5 movies per week. I get 3 hours of uninterrupted listening time every day while I work, during which time my kid is up for nap/downtime. Assuming that each of those movies a) has music available and b) I haven't already heard/listened to it, I would be able to listen to them in half of my workweek or less. Even then, I do have a pretty big backlog, since I like to listen to things at least twice, and I also listen to other music too. Right now, I have OSTs for Night at the Museum, Stuart Little, Spirited Away, Nanny McPhee, Crank, Bumblebee, Songbird, The Secret of Kells, The Boss Baby, and Love and Monsters sitting there waiting for me to pick them when the mood strikes. bruce marshall 1 Link to post Share on other sites
The Big Man 7624 Posted February 19 Share Posted February 19 Holy god. Well I'm thankful most scores I'm exposed to through film viewing are boring, functional exercises in Algebra 2, or else I'd be in financial trouble. bruce marshall 1 Link to post Share on other sites

mstrox 4213 Posted February 19 Share Posted February 19 Finances are definitely somewhat of a stumbling block. Some stuff is cheaper digitally than on CD. Since I don't care about artwork (or condition beyond playable), for a lot of these, I can get used CDs on eBay or Amazon for real cheap. I'm not neurotic about it - if something is financially out of my range (for instance, recently the OST for Thumbelina which is going for something dumb like $50 used), I just don't listen to it. and that's fine Link to post Share on other sites
Marian Schedenig 3238 Posted February 19 Share Posted February 19 Why should stuff only be released if someone arbitrarily decides that it "deserves" a release? For that same reason, there are constant (and justified) complaints about score X not being released/expanded because executives at the company owning the rights have no interest in it. To paraphrase Tharkûn, many scores that are released don't deserve to be, and many that do aren't. bruce marshall 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Plus those of you claiming you listen to every score to every film you watch when possible, do you, like, ever see movies where the score never gave you that impulse? I'm just trying to wrap my head around the mentality that compels one to consume absolutely everything, because not everything is worth the effort for pursuit and seems like a gargantuan waste of time.

Yep. In those cases, I may see whether the score exists on Spotify afterwards just out of curiosity, to see whether it got a release, but if it didn't do anything for me in the film, I likely won't bother with it standalone. bollemanneke 1 Link to post Share on other sites
bollemanneke 1805 Posted February 20 Share Posted February 20 I think I've only skipped one or two scores that didn't do anything for me in the movie. I Robot for instance. Link to post Share on other sites

mstrox 4213 Posted March 1 Share Posted March 1 The first six scores do a great job of mixing creeping dread with horror, and are distinctive in a way that many horror scores are not. 7 and 8 (or at least 7, haven't heard 8 beyond a few listens of the old Mollin compilation) do a good job of mixing that style (including older scoring) with a more aggressive electronic style which is fun itself although not terribly distinctive. It's a shoestring budget and they're very much horror scores - if you aren't into that genre of scores, I'd suspect there's not much for you. bruce marshall and TSMefford 2 Link to post Share on other sites
