He comes across as unfriendly and antagonistic online towards anyone politely asking for help. Reminds me a bit of Ford Thaxton. I'll never forget when he wished death on someone he disapproved of on Facebook through some platitude meme graphic, maniac.

 

I remember that! Truly sick. Typical deranged Hollyweird nut.

Zimmer can say whatever tf he wants but he's obviously punching wayyyyyyy down here.

And the legacy of people on this board and other social media circles don’t when talking about him or others?

 

Is the irony lost on people who complain about an RCP score getting a complete release yet that’s all they clamor for from the labels?

Isn't Ford a "nicer guy" now?

In what universe is a bunch of nobodies farting into the wind about an incredibly popular and successful composer considered punching down?

Hey, if you talk shit, don’t be surprised if someone hurls it back at you.

 

This whole thing could have been avoided if people didn’t judge a score by its runtime without even hearing it.

 

Zimmer responded more in that thread than the one comment that was posted here.

I have no info, really. My only takeaway so far is that if Southall actually quit over that one post, then he's pretty thin-skinned, and that it also just makes Zimmer look like a dumbass. 

 

My takeaway as well. I would presume that there was more to Southall quitting than the Zimmer comment.

Yea, but that's the internet, isn't it? Uber-passionate fanboys who passionately condemn or endorse without nuance. Just doesn't seem very graceful of Zimmer to start swinging under the belt in return. I might understand the frustration he might feel, knowing more about the actual labour that goes behind the curtains getting casually dismissed by Facebook commenters, and I usually appreciate when he sprinkles a little reality-dose with the fans, but this outburst seems like a pretty naive way to respond on his part. You're a successful millionaire film composer with legions of fans chanting your name...why get so riled up by a few dissenters in a Facebook comments section?

 

I should also point out that I don't know what the rest of that conversation looks like.

Because deep down he knows what his detractors say about him is true. He doth protest too much.

Yep. Don't start fires if you don't want that smoke.

This forum is full of corporate shills. It's become like Twitter.

 

You've been saying similar things for a while now. Are you hinting at your imminent departure?

What happened with Zimmer and a popular reviewer on Facebook?

 

People are saying Zimmer was drunk and made a personal attack against him?

I've only seen Erik's summation of the events. Apparently it was in response to the 4 hour length of JXL's upcoming Justice League score. Someone said something like: "it would have to be the best score in the world to warrant that length". And Southall wrote "Exactly.", to which Zimmer responded:

What the heck everyone - can somebody please post the ENTIRE thing before we continue to discuss the one part of of that has been posted?

 

I wouldn't even know where to find it but some of you clearly know.  Can you please take the time to copy and paste it all here?

Thank you.

Well, THAT's the story.

 

And James Southall posted this on his web page after removing ALL his Zimmer reviews from his website (because he was a fan, a critical mind of Zimmer's work, but a fan... and this is why Southall is hurted so much I think).

Imagine John Williams posting on Facebook that my website is shite... I would burn all his albums!

Hans didn't really criticized Southall in any meaningful way. All he told him is how Junkie "knows more" than him, people like JXL (argumentum ad populum) and then gave him some snort retort (possibly referring to one of his reviews). Just to bloat his ego.

Can you PLEASE post screenshots of all this so we can see it all for ourselves?  I'd really appreciate it very much, thank you so much

 

Are you a friend of Mikael Carlsson's on Facebook?  If so, it's all there. If not, then this is how it began.

Is Zimmer a billionaire? I mean, I know he is quite rich, but I never thought film score composers can earn money like this, even if you're a famous composer like him.

It's an over-exaggeration to make a point.

Thank you for the "how it began";  But how did it end?  Is there more, or is this all of it?

 

Looking at the whole picture here, at first I thought Hans was actually replying to "Gary Dalkin" but accidentally click on James' comment instead, until he specifically started talking about "the banality of one of your articles".  So, I guess Hans has had these thoughts about James' reviews for a while and just took this random opportunity to finally share them publicly for... reasons?

How is it known with absolute authority that that is truly Hans Zimmer's personal facebook account and not someone impersonating him?

I know someone who knows Zimmer personally.  It's Zimmer behind the keyboard.

So are these 2 comments by Zimmer and 2 comments by Southal the entire thing?  Or is there more?

I feel like I am pulling teeth this morning trying to get the whole story out.  A lot of people on this forum don't use Facebook, and need to see screenshots!

And here's more piling on this time from a Justice League producer. Classy!

I don't have time to screenshot the whole thing.  It's a massive thread.

Just wanna say that Zimmer' a massive asshole here, but also that I massively appreciate Jay's attempts to get a full picture before piling on and judging. Refreshing in these times.

 

I sent Carlsson a friend request. If he accepts, I will screenshot and post the whole thread here. No one else seems willing to do the work.

One has to wonder why HanZ didn't attack the guy why actually commented on length vs. quality, Gary Dalkin.

 Because there is a history between Zimmer and James. James writes a bad review, Zimmer cries like a baby.  James writes a bad review of a JXL score, Zimmer cries like a baby.  I have no problem if a composer has an issue with a review but man, reach out to the writer privately, offer your opinion, maybe give him some facts that he might have missed and let the reviewer admen the review.  Kindness is a magical thing.  BTW, I'm no saint and I really do have to change my ways as well but Zimmer is just a big bully and this isn't the first time he's done this to someone.

Or we are busy doing something else. This has nothing to do with laziness.

Zimmer attacked the "known" guy to fix him.

 

Here's an interesting article about "Remote Control Productions", about how Zimmer works and why it raises some legitimate questions.

And what he did was nothing but a personal attack on James; a guy who has been a fan of Zimmer's work since the beginning and has written glowing reviews of Zimmer's work as well. But no, Zimmer had to focus on the negative.  

 

This is only the start. Coming up: Billionaire film composer dethroned by #metoo.

Anybody wants to ask HanZ for screenshots?
