#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 10,265 Posted April 21, 2017 Share Posted April 21, 2017 True. But KOCS was always quite disappointing to me somehow, and AOTC wasnt. I dunno... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Breathmask 555 Posted April 21, 2017 Share Posted April 21, 2017 Kingdom of the Crystal Skull is as well crafted as, say, The Force Awakens. It actually reminds me a lot of that one. Only it lacks a theme as strong as Rey's Theme. Attack of the Clones sounds kinda dull at first, until you realize there's actually a pretty cool action thriller score in there (and that somehow the music tells the whole story more coherently than the final film does).

#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 10,265 Posted April 21, 2017 Share Posted April 21, 2017 Yes, none of the themes of KOCS, and it has quite a few are really up there. Not compared the previous Indy scores. It's just all....not quite. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Naïve Old Fart 9,534 Posted April 21, 2017 Share Posted April 21, 2017 Good for you, sport. Mr. Breath (or is that Mr. Mask?) is right: without any frame of reference, or any context, it's great, and, compared with all that RCP tripe, it's the best effing score of 2008. Its problem is two-fold: 1/ it underscored a piss-poor film, and 2/ it had to follow three scores that are virtually beyond superlatives. It never really stood a chance, the poor thing. Still, I'd take KOCS over most of what passes as film music, these days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 10,265 Posted April 21, 2017 Share Posted April 21, 2017 She is the child of the Light Side, like Anakin was the child of the Dark. Qui-Gon thought Ani was the Chosen One while it was actually Rey. And his mistake destroyed the Jedi Order. Quite interesting stuff, if you think about it.

There's no evidence that Disney has abandoned anything from the Prequels. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John 2,032 Posted April 21, 2017 Share Posted April 21, 2017 I personally just pretend the whole midi-chlorian concept was never brought up.

Unlucky Bastard 7,782 Posted April 21, 2017 Share Posted April 21, 2017 I'm still lost as to why it's a bad thing to have a scientific explanation as to why some people are Force sensitive. Some have argued that I robs it of its mystery, but it's plausible and acceptable that an advanced civilisation like the Jedi would have found that their kind had a protein that normies didn't, which enabled their bodies to have access to the Force. Like we can't see without eyes, can't hear without ears, can't touch without nerves, so logically Jedi can't feel the Force without midichlorox.

Disco Stu 15,495 Posted April 22, 2017 Share Posted April 22, 2017 You mean because there's no such scene in the film? I saw the movie way before I had the soundtrack (it's been a favorite since I was little) so that was never a problem for me. Of course there is a stampede scene in the movie where one of the cowboys is killed, but it happens off screen. I really wish an orchestra had re-recorded Richard Hageman's Stagecoach score back when re-recordings were more common, I've always loved that one too. It's a more straightforward adaptation of existing folk melodies so maybe that's why it wasn't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Naïve Old Fart 9,534 Posted April 22, 2017 Share Posted April 22, 2017 Yeah, there is that, but mainly, because the film is in black and white!

Kasey Kockroach 2,344 Posted April 22, 2017 Share Posted April 22, 2017 By some surreal miracle, a CD warehouse in my area had Intrada's release of "The Beast Within" by Les Baxter. Grabbed it and have been loving it immensely. This is some fine, fine horror scoring. I'm now curious about this composer. Any particular recommendations?
