It probably is with Disney's relentless spinning - but i would prefer, Desplat aside, some real composers, not just savvy 'film music' specialists, to quote one of Rózsa's cattish innuendos.

publicist 4,643 Posted May 9, 2016 Share Posted May 9, 2016 SW is traditional enough that it's safe to assume prolific composers like Gordon, Broughton or Davis would know exactly how to land these babies without sacrificing their own voice or losing themselves in bumpy Williams impersonations. I actually don't mind Gia doing one, it's just not music i will be especially keen on, neither in thematic content nor in compositional depth. Now someone like Austin Wintory would be my dark horse for one, but alas... Not Mr. Big 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 10,265 Posted May 9, 2016 Share Posted May 9, 2016 Oh I'm sure Gia could do a perfectly passable SW score. Just like im sure his upcoming Marvel one will be decent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dixon Hill 4,232 Posted May 9, 2016 Share Posted May 9, 2016 Heh. It's a tad awkward but I feel like it does somehow convey a Trek vibe. Like the rest of the scores. Although the second one veered away from that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EdwardHall 30 Posted May 9, 2016 Share Posted May 9, 2016 Giacchino infused freshness into the Star Trek franchise in 2009. It was badly needed after so many years of relying on Jerry Goldsmith's "The Motion Picture" themes. While I actually enjoy Goldsmith's music from Star Trek Nemesis (2002) It was clearly time for a change. I suppose it also helped when Goldsmith died, though. Not that I have anything against him.

To use several lines from Baseball he dropped the ball, he struck out, He had a chance to set himself up with Jerry and Horner and failed miserably. He isn't untalented because up was beautiful but he's a broken clock or blind pig. 13 minutes ago, Jay said: @Joey, why are you continuing to post in this thread if you have no interest in this score?

Jay 37,249 Posted May 9, 2016 Author Share Posted May 9, 2016 I never said anything wasn't allowed. I question the point in bothering to enter a thread that you have no interest in, and furthermore read it, and furthermore continually post that you have no interest in what the thread is about and have negative things to say about the subject. Why does it make you happy to do all that? This is completely different than describing what it is you don't like about something if you're actually heard the product; This score isn't even recorded yet! leeallen01 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jay 37,249 Posted May 9, 2016 Author Share Posted May 9, 2016 I have absolutely zero problems with people not liking Giacchino's music; there are certainly lots of popular composers whose music I don't enjoy very much. But I'll never understand the mentality behind popping into a thread about one of his scores over and over again to remind everyone that you're not looking forward to this score and don't like his other music either.

Disco Stu 15,495 Posted May 10, 2016 Share Posted May 10, 2016 I've certainly been guilty of it in the past (as most have I'm sure) but a good lesson I've learned is that if you have some kind of weird pop cultural axe to grind, try just not. Ultimately it's not important and nobody cares that you consider some music/film/media/whatever beneath you. It's kind of like the people who keep on harping on how much they hate reality TV. We get it and we don't care. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
publicist 4,643 Posted May 10, 2016 Share Posted May 10, 2016 By that logic everyone should shut up in any case because you can bet nobody cares about what other people love, either. It's about what you contribute why you like or don't like something. It is one of the more regrettable developments of the pc movement that any kind of debate culture is considered a plague-like intrusion of sourpuss-ness instead of just accepting the fact that one opinion is not more worthy or desirable just because it's not a critical one. After all, societies are in constant flux because not all things are well and people rightly demand change and complain. Now, Michael Giacchino scores might not be high on a list of important topics to the world at large, on the other hand, where should such things be discussed than on a film music board?

Jay 37,249 Posted May 10, 2016 Author Share Posted May 10, 2016 As I said, I have no problem with people not liking Giacchino scores, and not problem with people discussing what it is they don't like about Giacchino scores. Of course this is a film score forum, and people should feel welcome to discuss film scores! I just don't see the point of doing it in a thread full of people excited for his next score. If you don't care about this upcoming score, I don't see the point of even opening the thread when there are so many other threads you'd probably enjoy reading a lot more.

Jay 37,249 Posted May 10, 2016 Author Share Posted May 10, 2016 The three scores in a row of Stargate -> Independence Day -> Tomorrow Never Dies made David Arnold amazing in my eyes.

Richard Penna 3,664 Posted May 10, 2016 Share Posted May 10, 2016 How in this day does a major blockbuster score get anything less than a full CD release anyway? 45 minutes is so 2000. And before anyone points out the obvious (reuse fees), how come no other major releases seem to be affected by this? Is it just because Varese doesn't have the budget of the big labels?
