Incanus 5,713 Posted October 12, 2013 Share Posted October 12, 2013 There must be some medication for that. His throwaway line about Joe Dante's lack of a career after Corman (and possibly Gremlins) has the old swagger from the TROY interview. Mind you, he's not entirely wrong but i doubt he would be flattered if someone dismissed his output prior to TITANIC like that.Yeah that was surprisingly tactless of him. I don't think Joe needed a twist of the knife in the wound. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisAfonso 186 Posted October 12, 2013 Share Posted October 12, 2013 The concert just ran on Austrian tv, and you could actually hear the Spider-man theme (playing as Horner was called to the stage) quite well (which, as several people pointed out, was totally drowned out by the applause in the hall, so much so that I didn't even notice it). Hope to get a recording of the broadcast in the coming days.I've cut out the clip here (the quality isn't anything to get excited about, but at least from the microphones they recorded it with the applause is somewhat dimmed) At Thor: thanks for posting your interview! Did you record the concert excerpts yourself, or did you get an "official" mix? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think Joe needed a twist of the knife in the wound.I don't think he wanted to diss Joe Dante at all. He's just observing how his career path went through the years in terms of success, imho. Remember the old saying "In Hollywood, you're as good as your last success"? Most of the people who works in that environment have a very strong attachment to that. Success and consensus is what makes your work last and continue throughout the years, because that's what people remember and what you'll probably be remembered for. Of course there are titans that could stand a number of failures and bombs, but nonetheless success is what makes your career distinguished in Hollywood.

publicist 4,643 Posted October 12, 2013 Share Posted October 12, 2013 Whatever he wanted, Horner has used these odd phrasings not the first time whereas i hardly hear them in other composer interviews (except maybe for some RCP guys and Leonard Rosenman). To say Dante doesn't know any better (than to embrace his Corman days) because he had his biggest successes in his Corman phase (which is certainly not true) and that people like Ron Howard fly on an altogether different plane due to their ongoing commercial successes betrays a certain line of thinking i cannot fully endorse, to say the least.

Popular Post Jean-Baptiste Martin 249 Posted October 30, 2013 Popular Post Share Posted October 30, 2013 For an hour and twenty minutes, before an audience of 200, the composer answered questions from Robert Townson and the public. The conference featured five video clips from the following films: A Beautiful Mind (Creating "Governing Dynamics"), Braveheart (A Gift of a Thistle), Legends of the Fall (The Ludlows), Avatar (Jake's First Flight), and finally Titanic (Rose).James Horner's emotion during each sequence, the precision of his answers and the proximity of the composer made this conference a special and unique moment.We are pleased to provide you our impressions, accompanied by three video excerpts.http://jameshorner-filmmusic.com/hollywood-vienna-2013-international-film-music-symposium/ publicist, crocodile and Jay 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
