Composer Threads The Thomas Newman Thread

[Thor 8,505]

THE ADJUSTMENT BUREAU is an excellent film! The score didn't do much for me at the time, but perhaps I should give it another shot.

Second listen based on Thor’s condensed playlist. Liking it a lot more.

 

Cheers, Lee! I'm listening to my programme again, and the score really comes to life now. And I don't say that to tout my own horn - anyone can make decent playlists out of this that will no doubt work just as well. It's just fascinating that what was a rather disappointing first listen, now is rather good.

Just listened to White Bird. Overall, I'll admit it's a bit disappointing--feels like a missed opportunity for a truly great score. Nevertheless, there are some lovely moments. "Vive l’Humanité" is the highlight for me, with the music really soaring at the end:

That's an exciting assignment.

Is he still capable of doing other things than Indian music?

[Edmilson 9,134]

He is... He just doesn't want to do it.

[Thor 8,505]

The premise doesn't interest me (some kind of comic murder mystery thingie?), but a Columbus-Newman collaboration is interesting.

I just want his hair.

That’s just what his hairdresser says every time.

 

(and he/she also wants his money.)

I want his body… (obviously not him but the likeness is uncanny).

That's David.

I'm reading Thursday Murder Club right now. The casting is perfect. It's hilarious (in a verrrry dry, understated way). I'm excited to hear Newman's take.

James Southall gave this album 4 1/2 stars, saying it's one of the best scores he's listened to this year.

 

I'll give it a try.

I’ve given it a few listens and didn’t enjoy it nearly so much. It has a few lovely tracks but too many uninteresting ones on an overlong album. I’ll persevere as it’s Thomas Newman but a bit underwhelmed. 

[bespinGPT 8,858]

Some albums are just too long, but we can manage to make a playlist easily using this... I think!

Is there a release of his Ballet Of Mice and men soon? Feel like I saw something but can’t find the source.
