Luke Skywalker 1,795 Posted May 27, 2014 Share Posted May 27, 2014 It's getting tiring to read all the bashing intertwined with every Giacchino thread, specially new scores. One likes to look for news about them when new posts arise, but more than half the times it's just bashing.So please feel free to write your thoughts here, and lets leave the other threads to their true topics.Tanks a lot!

Uni 306 Posted May 28, 2014 Share Posted May 28, 2014 He's tired of all the Giacchino bashing gumming up the other threads, so he's trying to dig out and water down a mud pit here for people who want to wail on the guy. It makes perfect sense as far as that goes.Unfortunately, composer-bashing is an opportunistic sort of career that gets most of its spark from how the haters' hackles rise in the moment—in other words, a new thread about an upcoming score from Gia reminds his detractors what a galactic loser he is, so they're naturally compelled to vent their spleen toward him (and anyone who wants to cast his work in a positive light) into the open window of that conversation. You're expecting too much of them if you think they're going to leave a thread that makes them sick in order to go throw up in a different thread.I've also learned that you're also expecting too much if you think they'd be better off just not reading conversations about Giacchino (or Tolkien, or Zimmer, or whoever) in the first place. Apparently it isn't enough to bad-mouth the man himself; torching his supporters seems to be a way to punish him by proxy, or whatever.I imagine that's why the other composer-bashing thread didn't work—though it was good for providing us with a shoe-in for Best Performance by a Veteran JWFan Poster in 2014 (Steef at his very best).

publicist 4,643 Posted May 28, 2014 Share Posted May 28, 2014 "Certain people", "certain threads" - that reads like 'anyone who offers a dissenting opinion is unwanted' and that is an utterance not exactly unknown to film music boards. As long as you can't name what exactly bothers you (personal attacks on MG? On his fans? Doubters of his musical gifts? People who criticize scores they have heard and have every right to talk about?), i should give a shit about broad demands like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When KM/Joey can provide us with deep analyses of their tastes in film music, the evils of Zimmer/Giacchino, and the virtues of the fanfare-theme, the board will stand ready to gain understanding.
