For instance?

 

It explain why you are smarter than many ones here.

 

But it does not explain your love for naked dinos.

I don't think you get smarter by working in a book store.

 

Of course working in a book store doesn’t make you smarter. That’s ridiculous.

 

Everyone knows if you want to get smarter you work as a patent clerk.

No, I'm not Christopher Steel.

 

I just write books. I wrote a biography on Admiral Halsey called The Fighting Sailor, about naval combat tactics.

Well that only took you an hour!

 

Perhaps it would behoove you to expand your cinematic repertoire beyond Jurassic Park? ;)

 

Oh, and that's Dr. Ryan to you.

What do you think about this?

I love it, a very dark and very different score from Williams.

It's good. THE TRIP TO WILKINSON, SAYING THE ROSARY, and THE FOOTBALL GAME, are great.

HELL'S KITCHEN live, is...(sigh).

 

The football game and Saying the rosary are my favorites. I'm wondering if there's anything interesting that's unreleased.

Battle of Neretva - Bernard Herrmann (Stromberg recording)

 

My word I love this score more every time I listen to it.  The action/suspense cues are unrelenting and intense. The quieter cues are beautiful.  Herrmann’s way with an orchestra in full effect.  This era of Stromberg re-recordings is untouchable.

 

I’m now convinced this is top tier Herrmann, up there with his greatest works.

 

A tip for further listening: Practically all highlights of this score were lifted from other, more coherent scores by Herrmann, such as Mysterious Island, Fahrenheit 451, Torn Curtain, and On Dangerous Ground.

Most agitated and interesting Desplat in a while - for the famous story of the Mossad snatching Eichmann and bringing him to trial...at least it's not as static as a lot of his work in that genre often tends to be. His best since 'The Ghost Writer', i'd wager. Channeling nervous 60's Goldsmith (Satan Bug) it's good to see a filmmaker like Paul Weitz not requesting bland anonymous chords.

Ferdinand - John Powell*

 

I'll admit - the first time I heard this score I had absolutely no desire to listen again (aside from one specific moment in "Finale"). I seem to remember it striking me as boring Spanish pastiche. It seemed to be missing that sea-faring, swashbuckling sound we got in HTTYD and Pan

 

After listening again today, I'm a bit mystified at how I could have dismissed the score so easily. While it's not as good as Solo or HTTYD (and maybe even Pan) in my book, it is nonetheless a very well-done score with cool classical influences (mixed, of course, with modern percussion!). The themes are very catchy, if perhaps not as enjoyable melodically as, say, Chewie's theme or the "Test Drive" theme. 

 

*More than half of the cues are co-credited to Batu Sener or Anthony Willis, so this was seemingly quite a team effort -- not everything on the album is necessarily by Powell.

The score I loved so much it got me to come back to the JWFan fold.

 

Oh wow! :lol:

 

Good thing Powell wrote it then. :)

It's not necessarily my favorite Powell, but it's easily my desert island pick, if that makes any sense. Which is to say, if other Powell scores were being burned in a bonfire and I could only rescue a few from damnation, it'd be among the first I save.

I'm listening to The Rocketeer right now. What an amazing theme Horner wrote for it. Heroic, yet also old-fashioned at the same time. I love the time period and the intentional cheesiness of the movie. Main Title and Takeoff was just a joy to listen to.
