Jeff 10 Posted May 31, 2011 Share Posted May 31, 2011 Well then Empire of the Sun sounds a bit like Cocoon to me. I'll have to go listen to more Cocoon to see if it was just a trick of the mind.Those 2 scores are completely different from each other.I was referring only to the opening five notes from trailer. Is this the same one that uses music from Cocoon, or is that a different trailer? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

crocodile 8,017 Posted June 6, 2011 Share Posted June 6, 2011 Given that most scores are treated with disrespect in their movies (JW's included), I find that hardly surprising. It doesn't say much these days.Karol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johnnyecks 33 Posted June 6, 2011 Share Posted June 6, 2011 Ouch.Still, one of the, if not THE, most anticipated movie of the summer for myself. I'm sure I'll get caught up in it and love it. Critics tend to forget that movies are a (gasp) distraction from real life meant to (gasp) entertain? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt C 454 Posted June 7, 2011 Share Posted June 7, 2011 You can have one F-bomb in a PG13 movieI think the current requirements are you can have 1-3 F-bombs in a PG-13 movie. (Only if they're non-sexual in context, which is stupid.)Gunner Palace is PG-13, and has well over 30 F-bombs. It was originally R-rated for that, but downgraded to PG-13 on appeal.

Jay 37,369 Posted June 8, 2011 Share Posted June 8, 2011 Saw this on FSM:iTunes has put together a "Music From SUPER 8" playlist of songs in the film that you can download here: http://itunes.apple....r-8/id441596014 1. "Don't Bring Me Down": ELO 2. "Easy": The Commodores 3. "Bye Bye Love": The Cars 4. "Heart of Glass": Blondie 5. "Le Freak": Chic 6. "My Sharona": The KnackHmmm, the linked version also includes"Silly Love Songs" by Wings and My Sharona is listed twice (?) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ollie 1,059 Posted June 8, 2011 Share Posted June 8, 2011 I don't understand why they feel the need to release those songs, most people who grew up in the 70's / 80's probably have those already and they can be had from other albums. Well I do understand why from a financial standpoint but it's just a waste to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jay 37,369 Posted June 8, 2011 Share Posted June 8, 2011 They are not "releasing them"... they are already all on iTunes, it's just a playlist. It's so if you see the movie then go home and type "Super 8" into the iTunes Store's search window, they all come up. So you don't have to separately google to find out what the name is of that song you heard was, etc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ollie 1,059 Posted June 8, 2011 Share Posted June 8, 2011 And a new way to release albums is born. Studios / artists will start issuing "playlists". No more Greatest Hits / compilation albums. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe he was asked and said, "Nah, Chris, just hire an extra. Thanks, though. We should hang out some time. I'm not too busy, I mean, considering the score I'm writing is just the first movie's cut and pasted. I'm really just interested in getting to work on Schindler's List.
