Popular Post Jay 37,355 Posted January 8, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted January 8, 2021 Looney Tunes: Back in Action: The Deluxe Edition (CD) Original Motion Picture Soundtrack Jerry Goldsmith UPC:888072199392 Release Date: 1/8/2021 Limited Edition Of 2000 $ 24.98 The final film score of Jerry Goldsmith’s legendary career gets a long-awaited CD Club treatment: Looney Tunes: Back in Action (2003) reunited Goldsmith with director Joe Dante (Gremlins, Innerspace, Matinee) for an insane musical journey befitting Warner Bros.’ classic cartoon characters, with Bugs Bunny and Daffy Duck starring in a live-action/animation hybrid alongside human characters played by Brendan Fraser, Jenna Elfman, Timothy Dalton and Steve Martin. The globetrotting adventure demanded one of Goldsmith’s zaniest scores ever, a sort of indescribable combination of slapstick, action and whimsy that lurches from high-energy symphonic chases to pop-influenced flourishes to Carl Stalling-styled “Mickey Mousing.” All of it has Goldsmith’s effortlessly melodic touch, with the special brand of left-field inspiration that always accompanied his work for Dante. Previously released by Varèse Sarabande at the time of the movie, this comprehensive 2CD set features not only Goldsmith’s vastly expanded score, but rewrites and additional music by John Debney, Cameron Patrick and a handful of others—as well as alternates and outtakes by Goldsmith and the complete 2003 album program. Packaging features new liner notes by Daniel Schweiger (incorporating new interviews with Dante, Debney and Patrick) and Goldsmith’s longtime friend and recording engineer, Bruce Botnick. Disc 1: 1.

Alas there was a ton of studio and producer meddling/oversight; Dante’s original vision for the film likely would have been a lot better. I for one still think it’s better than Space Jam (I just don’t get the appeal of that though I know it was super popular) but nothing in this weird sub-genre can compare to Roger Rabbit, let’s be honest...

Thor 7,501 Posted January 8, 2021 Share Posted January 8, 2021 I feel kinda sorry for Goldsmith that this was the one he had to go out on. As I mentioned in the other threads about Kamen and Horner's last scores, I like to put his final "proper" effort a wee bit earlier. I put HOLLOW MAN as his last great effort. But just a few moments before that, you'll find THE MUMMY, which is my alltime favourite JG score. But LOONEY is the last score, whichever way you put it, so good for those who didn't get it the first time around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bespin 8,480 Posted January 8, 2021 Share Posted January 8, 2021 "Last effort", the problem with that idea, it's that's completely subjective. I think everytime a composer do his job, he put his best effort, particularly great well known composers like Goldsmith. The last scores of composers are their last scores. That's it. For Goldsmith, it's Looney Tunes (2003) and the previous "complete" one he started to score when he was in relatively good health is the unused score to Timeline.

REAL Goldsmith fans would never pick that one😁 At least he has enough guts to assume his choices. Music is related to tastes, so it's different for everyone. My approach to music is that, I can "learn" to appreciate a kind of music that I don't liked at first earing. I tend to have a, well I think, respective approach to the music of a composer. My personal tastes are not the first criteria in the music I listen. First, I have to respect the Composer. When I "adopt" a composer or an artist, I usually love everything (or almost) he composed. Many here tend to like more "Action" scores, but the fact is that a film music composer usually compose music for many genres, not just action movies. You can prefer a genre over another one... but, when you love a composer, you have to understand his style, through all the genres he wrote for. That's the fun of loving film music composers I think: VARIETY. But, eh, that's my approach. Yavar Moradi 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's easily in my top 10 film composers of all time. I decided on THE MUMMY as my favourite the moment I heard it back in 1999. Alas, LOONEY TUNES didn't make the cut.

I have been listening to it a lot and I think it's reeeeeally under-rated But this Looney Tunes score is one I don't know. I am excited for this release.

Yavar Moradi 2,599 Posted January 8, 2021 Share Posted January 8, 2021 Exactly. I probably have a different perspective to Thor because like you, I am also a classical music fan and collector. And with that I’m not putting the dates of composition (which would be like 1874, lol!) which after all with film music is sometimes even more different than the date of the film’s release. I have two different recordings of The Blue Max with different years on them in iTunes, because they were performed and recorded many decades apart! Same with Rio Conchos, etc. What I *really* don’t get is when people put the year of the album release (especially with film music). Like “The Don Is Dead (2020)”?? No. Just no. Then there’s Inchon (2006) and Inchon (2013) despite the fact that both had identical contents! (And someone might also have Inchon (1988) and Inchon (2020) now besides, which is even more madness when it’s all the same recording/performance!)

Why does it matter at all that the film Inchon was released in 1982 (and a longer cut in festivals in 1981), while Goldsmith composed (and recorded yes) the work in 1980? The date of the film’s release had nothing to do with the score as a composition! Now you’re just not being consistent! It especially doesn’t fit with your approach of treating film music albums as entirely separate musical entities apart from the film. Why should the film release date matter when you are appreciating this music independently of it? Shouldn’t the composition date (or alternatively performance/recording date) be all that matters to you? Yavar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For films, the premieres are fairly easy to find. For classical music, it's trickier. But however close enough I can get to the inception, it's fine.

This isn't a perfect library science by any means but Lights Camera Music would go in the compilations section of my John Williams shelf in the order of when it was recorded/released Since A Palace Upon the Ruins is a collection of concert pieces but also essentially an album for Shore, this one would be difficult. I don't own a physical copy so I don't have to truly worry about it, but if I knew the dates of when each piece was recorded and if they all centered around one general time in his career and if my collection of that time didn't have too many other physicals discs vying for its spot, then it would be a moot point with no conflict In the case of the Rosza, I would either organize that recording in my classical section by recording date only, not separated by composer, if the works were all classical concert pieces or, depending on how many of them are film work or derived from film work, it could end up in the Rozsa section of my film score collection where it would go in his compilations section with any other compilations, were there any Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unlucky Bastard 7,782 Posted January 9, 2021 Share Posted January 9, 2021 So I actually purchased a copy of Looney Tunes: Back in Action - The Deluxe Edition on compact disc digital audio from the Varese Sarabande webzone. I've heard rumours throughout the years that composer Jerry Goldsmith (who scored Looney Tunes: Back in Action, directed by Joe Dante), created some very interesting material for this 2003 motion picture from Warner Bros., that was never heard on either the original Varese Sarabande album or the film starring Brendan Fraser and Jenna Elfman.

Bayesian 1,363 Posted January 9, 2021 Share Posted January 9, 2021 All the classical and/or film score collectors here seem to prefer organizing by a date of some kind. That’s utter madness! I’d never be able to find anything that way unless I did a search. No, my friends, the best way to organize a collection is by qualitative categories. Start by aggregating your albums by genre. Then, within each genre, you subset by composer, album artist, or even label. It can be quite fun to see your collection sorted into different “communities” that each share a particular likeness among its members—especially if you have a sizable collection.

Even he would have thought Warlock was a bottlecap. 1. You don’t know how Jerry felt about Warlock. 2. Literally in the same sentence I expressed a lack of enthusiasm for the generally more liked Supergirl, Air Force One, and Total Recall (and those are just three examples). There are plenty of other Goldsmith scores which I’d consider far from favorites: King Solomon’s Mines does nothing for me. US Marshals does little for me outside of the theme in “The Pen” and a couple other cues. I don’t really like Ace Eli. The waltz in Boys from Brazil annoys me. I don’t think too highly of The River Wild or Wild Rovers because they are each chiefly based around a pre-existing folk tune and that just doesn’t do a lot for me. Some of the synths in Legend and the original Gremlins and even Under Fire I find extremely grating and detrimental. I think I will never like Extreme Prejudice. I’ll probably have to see the film to appreciate I.Q. outside of the finale piece. So you’re both full of shit and being a total dick (again) besides. Have I expressed enough negativity towards Goldsmith for you now? I have to somehow disprove your premise that I’m just some blind tasteless fanboy who just thinks everything Goldsmith ever wrote was 10/10?

I’m sure you think you’re a great wit every time you make a comment like this and pat yourself on the back for your “zinger”, but all you do is manage to suck the joy out of the room if someone dares to have a more positive opinion about something than you. Here’s hoping this is just an Internet forum phenomenon and you’re less shitty in real life. Yavar Jurassic Shark 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
