Kasey Kockroach 2,344 Posted July 18, 2018 Share Posted July 18, 2018 The Lost World: Jurassic Park is my favorite John Williams score. My desert island choice of the J. Williams library, if you will. I have not experienced this epiphany until today, though it really should have been apparent sooner. It was my most listened to Williams album in my early teens music-lovin' days, and I adored the awesome album packaging and had it on proud display in my room.

One of the most depressing ones for a JW soundtrack album. 10 minutes ago, Cherry Pie That'll Kill Ya said: What the hell is that movie about? I've avoided it all these years just because of that damn cover/poster. It is a biopic based on the first part of the memoirs of Irish-American author Frank McCourt telling the story of his poor childhood in Limerick Ireland. His parents had emigrated to America but their family was so poor they had to move back to Ireland. His father was a no good drunk drifter and his mother took care of 4 children mostly on her own. He lived a hard childhood but finally in his adolescence finally was able to get enough money to move to America in pursuit of a better life and in the end became a teacher. The film tells the story up to the point he gets back to America again. It is pretty faithful to the novel in all its humour and wit to lighten the mood but also in the depiction of the poverty, disease and misery that plagued the poor during the early half of the 20th century in Ireland. A sort of a survival story, from rags to not so rich. Jurassic Shark and Naïve Old Fart 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jay 37,374 Posted July 18, 2018 Share Posted July 18, 2018 Recent Tim Burton films for me: Sleepy Hollow - goofy fun film, good score Planet of the Apes - Don't remember much about the film, the score is fun but too long in complete form Big Fish - Haven't seen the film since it came out so don't remember much, never listen to the score. Need to revisit both! Charlie and the Chocolate Factory - Meh film, meh score Corpse Bride - Meh film, don't remember the score Sweeney Todd - meh Alice in Wonderland - haven't seen the film, wonderful score Dark Shadows - meh film, don't remember the score Frankenweenie - Have not seen the film, have not herad the score Big Eyes - Really good film, don't remember the score Alice Through The Looking Glass - I know Burton didn't direct it, but he did produce it - great score by Elfman, better than the first Miss Peregrine - Interesting but flawed film (worth seeing, I'd say), good-ish score (not by Elfman) Dumbo - Looks bad!

A cool circus-y Elfman score is the only possible reason to look forward to that crappy looking movie. But hey, it does have Danny DeVito in it! First time he's been in a Burton movie since Big Fish! Where he also played a circus ringleader.... 8 minutes ago, Jay said: Big Fish - Haven't seen the film since it came out so don't remember much, never listen to the score. Need to revisit both!

Just checked out the main titles and Auntie Tia: that's more like it! Fun, if more a demonstration of Elfman's commitment as a film composer more than his abilities as a singular compositional voice (the main titles moreso than Auntie Tia, which sounds like a hillbilly infused with Bernard Herrmann). I miss him before he thought it would be cool to try and sound like Glass with all of those dry, diatonic string ostinati. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
