ChuckM 1 Posted January 29, 2009 Posted January 29, 2009 This is just to see what JWFan's favorite score of the year was other than the one by our beloved maestro. I'm not at all trying to discredit Koray's system.
ChuckM 1 Posted January 29, 2009 Author Posted January 29, 2009 Well, they're the same ones we decided on from the other poll, just no John Williams.
Datameister 2,561 Posted January 29, 2009 Posted January 29, 2009 I didn't decide on them in the other poll...because I haven't heard any of 'em.
BurgaFlippinMan 7 Posted January 29, 2009 Posted January 29, 2009 i havent heard Button yet, but out of the rest, I'd pick Speed Racer
JoeinAR 1,956 Posted January 29, 2009 Posted January 29, 2009 sorry but how can Cloverfield be listed. Its one track thats not completely heard.its not a score.
Ray Barnsbury 8 Posted January 29, 2009 Posted January 29, 2009 Haven't heard all of them, but Button has made a good impression on me after a few listens and hearing it in the film. It's an interesting and definitely listenable mix of restrained emotion and whimsical charm. I particularly enjoy how Desplat seems to score most scenes as if they're a montage, with the music constantly moving and not always matching specific sync points in the film.
Koray Savas 2,259 Posted January 29, 2009 Posted January 29, 2009 Nice one, Chuck. I was actually surprised Indy 4 won in my version. I voted for Cloverfield last time, but I'm thinking Benjamin Button now...
Jeshopk 8 Posted January 29, 2009 Posted January 29, 2009 Button!! Very nice. Nothing bad to say about it.
Taikomochi 1,405 Posted January 29, 2009 Posted January 29, 2009 Cloverfield. Button seemed redundant. Speed Racer just didn't really interest me. TFU was a bit boring. I would describe it how many here would describe Zimmer's work, minus the use of electronics. Wanted was pretty good. All the really stuck out to me was "Success Montage", though.
Charlie Brigden 7 Posted January 29, 2009 Posted January 29, 2009 TFU was a bit boring. I would describe it how many here would describe Zimmer's work, minus the use of electronics.Whu?
Richard P 5,145 Posted January 29, 2009 Posted January 29, 2009 WantedI only heard it recently but I really like it. Although I'm not an Elfman fan, I do sometimes like his less quirky, more mainstream music.Again, I still don't think it's the best of the year, but it's my favourite from this poll.BTW, I have to agree with Joey about Cloverfield. It's an overture, not a score. Granted, it's a very, very good 12 minutes, but that's why I made the brief accusation of fanboyism in the other thread - rating a 12 min piece of music over all other full scores.
Ollie 1,367 Posted January 29, 2009 Posted January 29, 2009 I based mine on imagining an entire score based on the end credit piece.A bit odd I'll admit but that's just me.
Koray Savas 2,259 Posted January 29, 2009 Posted January 29, 2009 I broke the 4-way tie and voted for Button.
Luke Skywalker 2,336 Posted January 29, 2009 Posted January 29, 2009 Speed racer.I can picture another poll eliminating the Giacchino bias...
Taikomochi 1,405 Posted January 29, 2009 Posted January 29, 2009 TFU was a bit boring. I would describe it how many here would describe Zimmer's work, minus the use of electronics.Whu?I mean, it just seemed uninspired and simple to me. I'm not very familiar with Griskey's work, though.
Jeshopk 8 Posted January 29, 2009 Posted January 29, 2009 Did Wanted somehow win over Hellboy 2 and Milk in another poll?
Koray Savas 2,259 Posted January 29, 2009 Posted January 29, 2009 Hellboy II got one vote, by Mark O. I believe. Milk didn't get any that I recall, maybe a couple. Wanted was the runner-up, so Chuck just took out Indy 4 and put that in it's place.
Henry B 51 Posted January 29, 2009 Posted January 29, 2009 TFU was a bit boring. I would describe it how many here would describe Zimmer's work, minus the use of electronics.Whu?I mean, it just seemed uninspired and simple to me. I'm not very familiar with Griskey's work, though.It has far less character than Griskey's other Star Wars score, Knights of the Old Republic II. Griskey was asked to closely imitate Williams, sliding from the prequel style to the original trilogy style (to bridge the gap). However, his score is no mere pastiche even given the frequent use of Williams's themes (which is always very fun).
Jeshopk 8 Posted January 30, 2009 Posted January 30, 2009 Hellboy II got one vote, by Mark O. I believe. Milk didn't get any that I recall, maybe a couple. Wanted was the runner-up, so Chuck just took out Indy 4 and put that in it's place.Indy 4 got Hellboy 2's votes. I'll do a new poll.
Luke Skywalker 2,336 Posted January 30, 2009 Posted January 30, 2009 Giacchino has the Williams' Oscar Curse He is definately the Next Williams!
John Crichton 4 Posted February 2, 2009 Posted February 2, 2009 I voted for Cloverfield with Indy 4 in the mix. Guess what I voted for this time?
