Docteur Qui 1,544 Posted February 2, 2010 Share Posted February 2, 2010 "Parting Words" is a major factor in what is probably the single greatest score-based scene in television history.no it's not.And don't state things like that as a fact.To me it's the crash landing sequence from Island in the Sky from Lost in Space. It's when Johnny Williams became John Williams .There you have the music that will progress into Star Wars and Indiana Jones. Obviously you weren't around when there were great scores on TV ,in the 60's and 70'sWell I know I certainly haven't seen/heard those examples, but until I do (and make my own decision), I'll agree that "Parting Words" is the most incredible musical moment of any television series I've ever seen.Incidentally, I would've thought by now that everyone assumes that whatever opinions are expressed on this board are just that; opinions. We're not 12-year-olds, we don't need to clarify "in my opinion" with every post, do we? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Diego 21 Posted February 2, 2010 Share Posted February 2, 2010 I would think that by now Williams' superiority in every respect is a well known universal fact, not an opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wojo 2,453 Posted February 2, 2010 Share Posted February 2, 2010 No, you're all wrong. The single greatest score-based scene in television history is clearly defined by the final two minutes or so of "Best of Both Worlds, Part One."And it's Ron Jones, who's tied to Williams through Superman, so it's close enough for gov't work.Somebody get the old Texan a Dos and a blanket.

indy4 155 Posted February 6, 2010 Share Posted February 6, 2010 I don't have many Giacchino scores:UpThe IncrediblesM:i:IIIRatatouilleStar TrekI also have "Roar!" and his music from the Space Mountain Ride at Disneyland (annoyingly missing the best part). I wouldn't say he's the best current composer. I prefer James Newton Howard, Danny Elfman, Hans Zimmer, and John Williams. But I think he probably has the highest potential for success. He's won several awards, he'll probably win the Oscar (and he's only been nominated once before!), and he's got several nice connections with high profile directors that'll continue to give him popular, mainstream jobs for a while. But I don't think he's the best, though he's very good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

indy4 155 Posted February 6, 2010 Share Posted February 6, 2010 Oh, thanks for the heads up! That's tempting...but it wasn't really good enough for me to justify spending that much money for 20 seconds of music. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke Skywalker 1,810 Posted February 6, 2010 Share Posted February 6, 2010 he'll probably win the Oscar (and he's only been nominated once before!)In recent years, most of the Oscar winners have won in their first nomination. I couldnt believe they gave the prices to one-hit wonders newcomers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
indy4 155 Posted February 6, 2010 Share Posted February 6, 2010 I don't think they should reject a person just because they're a newcomer. It just so happens that some of these one-hit wonders have written undeserving scores (ie Santalolla).But I stand corrected. Still, I'd say that winning an Oscar at this point in his career is pretty promising. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gruesome Son of a Bitch 6,493 Posted February 6, 2010 Share Posted February 6, 2010 Exactly. They hear a mediocre composer's work amid a throng of horrible music in general in a true dark age for film music and they take is as anything more than mediocrity.
