Dixon Hill 4,234 Posted February 3, 2015 Share Posted February 3, 2015 Oh my god, worth it for the classic Horner moment when he says he didn't like Jerry's TMP but "doesn't want to offend him, wherever he is now." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Uni 306 Posted February 4, 2015 Share Posted February 4, 2015 Love that they play the music they're referencing as they go (and the full pieces, too). Not enough straight interviews do this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dixon Hill 4,234 Posted February 4, 2015 Share Posted February 4, 2015 I find it really difficult to be bothered by his seeming arrogance. I don't think it's intentional, I think he's just not great at saying what's on his mind in a way that doesn't paint him as a precious conceited cunt.I like him.

publicist 4,643 Posted February 4, 2015 Share Posted February 4, 2015 It's what makes his music so distinctive Horner, for better or worse. He has a point of view (shitty as it sometimes can be). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hlao-roo 389 Posted February 4, 2015 Share Posted February 4, 2015 Another thing that bothers me about certain attacks on Horner are that they are attacks on his talent rather than his character. I personally think that James Horner is devoid of morals, but I know for a fact that he has more talent than a good 95% of the rest of film composers out there. This is, after all, the same man who gave us Star Trek II, Krull, Brainstorm, Aliens, Cocoon, Battle Beyond the Stars and many other classics that any fan of film music would care to mention. How then, can anyone claim that Horner has no talent? Like I said, he has more talent than 95% of the other composers in Hollywood; his popularity is proof of that. It's his system of ethics that needs worked on. Just keep that in mind so that the next time you decide to insult the man, you have good reason to and are not insulting him for the wrong reason.(http://scoresounds.tripod.com/titanic.html) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
publicist 4,643 Posted February 4, 2015 Share Posted February 4, 2015 His system of ethics is now over 60 years old. I suspect it's past the time it could be worked on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quintus 5,399 Posted February 4, 2015 Share Posted February 4, 2015 Horner's singular attitude is always riveting to listen to, so his words here came as no surprise. Entertaining as always.I listened to this on Saturday night when it aired. It's the second or third in a series, and last week was Danny Elfman.I'm not really getting the surprise here that they played full pieces in this slot, though - it's Classic FM. When they're not doing Saturday Night at the Movies they're playing hours of chamber music and boring opera.http://www.classicfm.com/radio/shows/saturday-night-movies/conversation-movies/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Gruesome Son of a Bitch 6,488 Posted June 26, 2015 Popular Post Share Posted June 26, 2015 It was actually a great interview. I listened to the whole thing.Mr. Horner, I regret some of the things I said to you earlier. As a matter of fact, I think you're the bravest composer I've ever known. crocodile, Dixon Hill and HornerIsTheMan 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
