bruce marshall 1,315 Posted January 4, 2021 Share Posted January 4, 2021 I just " accidentally" clicked on FSM where the weekly Zimmer bash is underway. Poor Thor. Since I was banned he has been on his own battling the forces of reaction and envy. It's kinda like Chuchill and England after the fall of France So, if any Zimmer fans are left here, you might wanna fly over there, like the RAF at Dunkirk!😊😁and relieve Thor!

Edmilson 7,473 Posted August 14, 2021 Share Posted August 14, 2021 I fucking hated Army of the Dead. It's Batman v Superman levels of bad, maybe even worse. Holkebborg's score was so fucking pointless and generic. I don't care if it's John Williams that is scoring the prequels/sequels/whatever the fuck Netflix wants to do with this so called "franchise", I won't watch it.

Ok, but even so… what was his point in linking him to the election? The two had nothing to do with the other, which makes Zimmer sound really transparently opportunistic. But hey, if it makes for a nice sound bite, what’s the harm, right. God, I really hate Zimmer. He’s a feel-good cancer on film music. I need to stay out of this thread.

Quite simply, Thor, they are exercising their right to free speech, and as long as they remain within JWfan rules, they are entitled to do so, no more, no less. Over the years, JWfan has attracted a few JW haters, but they have all had the good grace to leave, after a while. I'm not trying to defend Bayesian (I'm sure that Bayesian is more than capable of doing that), and I will go on record by saying that I am not a Zimmer hater, but to try to elevate film music (film music, for cryin' out loud!) to this sort of social level, is pure hubris.

If one can measure success in terms of BO of films scored, soundtrack units sold, combined film salaries (etc, etc... pick your criteria) then there is going to be someone who is definitively the most successful. Might be Zimmer, might be someone else (although I suspect it's probably him). But why should such a statement be controversial on a fan forum? My favourite film composer is generally and historically JNH, and I think that amongst his truly great works he's done a lot of absolute garbage. Every composer has, and I don't believe for a nanosecond that anyone gains from constantly seeking validation that their favourite artist is 'the best'.

HunterTech 994 Posted April 24, 2022 Share Posted April 24, 2022 You know how many Zimmer critical folk are on here.
