Disco Stu 15,495 Posted May 20, 2021 Share Posted May 20, 2021 That would be pretty weird. Even the slightest Elfman scores (like the 20 minute OST for End of the Tour) get some kind of release, and I'm guessing this score is more substantial than that.

Jay 37,364 Posted May 20, 2021 Author Share Posted May 20, 2021 For a while into the movie I thought the score was generic pap, and I was wondering why Elfman was even hired. But eventually, the score got much more interesting, and even the classic Elfman choir made an appearance. I'm very much looking forward to checking out the album. 1 minute ago, Disco Stu said: Even the slightest Elfman scores (like the 20 minute OST for End of the Tour) get some kind of release, and I'm guessing this score is more substantial than that.

Jules 59 Posted May 24, 2021 Share Posted May 24, 2021 My bad, I didn't even realise that I'd already posted my thoughts on the movie too haha Could it be that it's another Ghost in the Shell situation where the score took a while for a release because there was some sort of issue with the composer firing? I honestly can't remember what the deal was with that release. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HunterTech 994 Posted May 24, 2021 Share Posted May 24, 2021 GitS never got an official release ultimately, as the planned program (assuming it exists) was Mansell only. Anything that has come out is purely on Balfe's end (by the man himself, no less). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Koray Savas 2,251 Posted May 24, 2021 Share Posted May 24, 2021 I think an OST was nixed by Mansell’s ego. Balfe ultimately leaked his music. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HunterTech 994 Posted May 24, 2021 Share Posted May 24, 2021 It's possible, given Ad Astra ran into a similar problem of Balfe's addition delaying the OST (though ironically he'd be the one with the short end of the stick in that scenario). However, given these sorts of score changes tend to be last minute (there had been a pre-order available for a while before cancellation), and LB mentioning something about legal issues getting in the way of having it officially out, it wouldn't surprise me if the original album assembly was junked for no longer representing what was in the film.

Edmilson 7,453 Posted May 24, 2021 Share Posted May 24, 2021 Army of the Dead Wow, that was horrible.

Jay 37,364 Posted May 24, 2021 Author Share Posted May 24, 2021 I became less interested in it when I saw it was 2 1/2 hours long.

A24 4,333 Posted May 24, 2021 Share Posted May 24, 2021 Fast-paced? Snyder's movies rarely are. No, really the first hour is quite boring, the story itself is serviceable but the dialog is terrible. I even thought I wasn't going to be able to finish this movie. The second part is where they stopped talking and when all the action takes place. That part is definitely watchable. If it's any indication, many fans of Snyder's first zombie film are disappointed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jay 37,364 Posted May 26, 2021 Author Share Posted May 26, 2021 Those Who Wish Me Dead This was pretty good! I liked how it's one of those films that follows two separate storylines and they start intermingling halfway through then are one and the same by the end. One story follow two mob (I guess?) hitmen (TV's Littlefinger and Movie's Nicolas Hault) as they assassinate a Florida DA and then attempt to assassinate a forensic accountant only to have one thing go wrong after another.... the other story follows Angelina Jolie as a Montana firefighter still not herself after reading a fire wrong that lead to people dying that might not have otherwise, being assigned to man a fire tower near where an assassination attempt occurs.... The film is not very long which works in its favor, as it doesn't have THAT much going on. Even then, it's extended with scenes that don't actually serve much point, like a weird fire tower jump escape and a crazy lighting storm field run. But for the most part it's paced pretty well, and all the actors are pretty good, and the dialogue is fine. It's free on HBO Max Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jules 59 Posted May 27, 2021 Share Posted May 27, 2021 A Quiet Place Pt II Too much repetition from the first movie for my liking, maybe I just don't enjoy the concept as much as some. I also get annoyed at the constant shuddering and hyperventilating that Krasinski must have asked for, particularly when Noah Jupe is doing it. Still fun with a big crowd in cinemas!

Too many movies nowadays feel like this. I mean, you had stuff like that in the studio system, but I guess those were more inspired committees. No overall artistic focus as of late. A pity maybe in this case. The visual of Stone hamming it up as Cruella seems ripe with potential. The whole thing is rapidly being consigned to the meme pile.

Marian Schedenig 8,193 Posted June 8, 2021 Share Posted June 8, 2021 The Edge of All We Know. Documentary about black holes following two long-running science collaborations, one being the 4-person team that collaborated on Stephen Hawking's final paper (regarding the preservation of information about matter consumed by black holes) and the other being the international multi-team effort that resulted in the famous first picture of a black hole released in 2019. As most of it is related to hardcore science, you won't learn much you didn't already know about black holes, but the documentary's fly-on-the-wall style gives an inspiring insight into the complexity, excitement, and sense of community behind the research. Nice multi-track cello score by Zoë Keating, too. It's free on Netflix. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
