I don't understand, she sings great in Sing! and a 2015 ad, and in The Jungle Book. Must be autotune then..? Or just she didn't pick the right music for her voice.

You can't even hear her voice. Lol.

Just watched Die Hard.
You could cut out 20% of the movie and it'd still be plenty cohesive.

Watching... umm... The Original USA Remake of The Seven Samurai.

I might start adding a lot of the classic westerns to Plex.

Lol, glossing over the Wikipedia page for DIE HARD reveals a lot.
The big part that I thought could easily be excised was the bit where Hans and McClane first meet face-to-face... it doesn't lead anywhere.
Turns out it was shoehorned in for fun, as the crew realized Rickman could pull off a convincing American accent.

Watching the last scene of the film, I thought, "Wow, this doesn't sound like Kamen at all, it's more like James Horner."
Sure enough... tracked music from Aliens. :laugh:

Technically, they did remake (2016) the remake (1960).

I'd say I should Sanjuro and the remakes, but there's been a million loosely based stories surrounding two rivals and a lone stranger.

Not at all surprised by the review. Ubisoft couldn't manage to keep a relatively cohesive game (Assassin's Creed 1) from crashing and burning as the yearly installments kicked in. Truly a series that could have been much more with more time and a few thousand less developers per installment.

Does anyone now if john ottoman's X-Men Apocalypse complete score has been circulating around?

Remember back in 2014 how Mr. Ottman was pretty PO'ed about DoFP leaking? I think he'll be more protective this time around.

Remember back in 2014 how Mr. Ottman was pretty PO'ed about DoFP leaking? I think he'll be more protective this time around.

I remember something about how he asked for the DOFP score to be taken down due to the future release of the rogue cut but i never knew he was PO'd. Damn thats a shame, maybe lala land or himself might make an eventual expanded release eventually but i doubt it. considering all of his x-men films had commercially released expanded score i'm hoping this one will get the same treatment. Despite bryan singer denying any extended movie cut, does not mean this can't see the light of day. :)

Flushed Away

So after watching The Mag Seven (1960), went on a Steve McQueen kick.
Added a few more movies of his to Plex.

Watching The Thomas Crown affair.
I've not watched the remake with Brosnan. I was going to, but heard it was a remake so left it.
Then I heard the soundtrack and loved that it had Nina Simone on it.

Also adding more Yul Brynner.
Watched a bit of The Ten Commandments (1956) before falling asleep.
:laugh: Exodus now feels so misplaced and more for updated graphics.
The score for Exodus is nice.

I also practiced a bit of Brynner's strut. :laugh: Did not turn out right.

I forgot how handsome Charlton Heston was in his youth.
He was ruggedly handsome in Planet of the Apes.
But in Ten Commandments, he was buff!

I have to sit and ponder on Ridley Scott now...
Exodus is nowhere near the same caliber as Kingdom of Heaven. And that movie had its own problems and still prevailed over Scott's recent work.

The only time of day I like to watch this movie is late at night, and idk why. That was the first time I saw it. When I hated it.

It's an intriguing idea but not a workable one, at least not as it's developed in the movie. It suffer from the Sony Amazing Spider-Man Syndrome: put two attractive actors on screen and hope the audience is so besotted with them, that movie-goers overlook the weak writing.

I've thought about the script after seeing the film and came up with a better ending. But it's way too dark for a conventional Hollywood film.

Watching Third Star with Benedict Cumberbatch.
Cute little movie so far.

I still say that Stuart: A Life Backwards (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0853153) was his best role.
One of Tom Hardy's best, too.
Truly heartbreaking. I was inconsolable afterward for a good hour and a half.

watching Deepwater Horizon:

It's a movie for people who work those jobs.
So much jargon thrown around to try establish that the actors belong there.

We can only guess things are good or bad or not right based on how angry an actor pitches their voice at something.

You can't get into the story or get close to any of the actors.

:rofldata: Even Michael Bay did a better establishing oil diggers in Armageddon. :rofldata:

This is like trying to recreate the police procedural atmosphere of a lot of TV shows but with no new kid to ask all the questions the audience is thinking.
"What's that mean? What's that do?"

Also, the music, first time I'm listening to it.
It's so high pitched with its sonic tones.
You need to turn it down or your ears will bleed.

Watching King Arthur [Director's Cut]

3 Game of Thrones actors, 2 Hannibal (NBC) actors, 1 from Dexter.

Gave the first episode of Netflix's "Medici Masters of Florence" a go, and… I won't be continuing with it. The adjectives insipid and anachronistic leap foremost to the lips.

Oh, Seinfeld...my absolute favorite set-sitcom, most likely next to Frasier. Both ridiculously hilarious.

So I've just finished with the recent leaks of Steven Universe that CN seriously keeps doing a poor job of keeping safe. As a guy who hadn't seen an episode in a while, it made for a really neat movie watching all episodes back to back. I even was surprised, when I thought I would ever be again. I'd still recommend any fan here to watch it when it airs, since it's fucked up that CN keeps messing up what the Crewniverse wanted to happen naturally. I'd be willing to watch them again when they air properly.

Write up on Reddit: Being that I hadn't seen any episodes in a while (nor all of them), these set of episodes might be my favorites out of all the ones I've seen, primarily in the sense that they make a rather fantastic movie when watched back to back. There is a perfect blend of character, humor, story, and surprises that reaffirm why I still keep on watching the show (even when I don't have the whole piece). The Diamonds and the various Amethysts & Jaspers are particularly a revelation, given that I had much different thoughts about them. It gives me the feeling that Steven and the Gems are probably gonna have a different confrontation with Homeworld than anticipated the next time that occurs. The Zoo was also a pretty interesting concept, even if I was reminded a bit of The Giver and The Village (though those are considerably more advanced and thought out in conception). Lastly, more of Yellow and Blue Diamond's Pearls? Yes please.

Far from it.

I've actually gotten to really enjoy this score the more often I've heard it - and I wasn't too wild about it at first, nor have I listened to it all that much. Now that I've bought and began playing the game, my interest is piqued and so is beginning to be my enjoyment of the music as well.

But really, Battlefield 1, along with a lot of most other games of the genre still fail overall to parallel Giacchino's Medal of Honor scores and their excellency.

I can't really ever get enough of this score. It's up there in a similar regard but different respect with the Medal of Honor games as some of the best video game music ever written.

The guy's amazing at what he does, but I look for more accuracy rather than "listening experience." Just me personally, though. Not trying to knock SonicAdventure or what he does.

accuracy

You mean "chronological order".
Something cosmetic like a playlist.
Or editing (trim,fade,etc) audio to match what you hear in a film (cut outs, transitions, etc).
Similar to an "isolated score" in presentation.

Chronological order and film mixing is just another aspect of the "listening experience", is it not?

Well yeah. I admit my statement was awkwardly worded. I prefer chronological order and "accuracy" meaning accuracy in comparison to the film versions. I hate watching a favourite film with awesome music and thinking, the version I have is not the same as the one in the film! This could be the difference of a second, a slightly different instrument or sample used, or whatever.

It is difficult to express. I usually explain it as I want the music to help me "watch" the film in my mind.

the version I have is not the same as the one in the film!

There's pills for that.

I think it's more habit based on the limitlesss opportunities at pirating communities like Shrine has developed.

We know there's plenty of music and sources and there's potential for even more sources which leads to more potential of others making something more unified out of the multitude of options.
Something linear with a fresh aspect. A new perspective on what we already know.

It becomes an impulse. Like shopping. Like eating.

We gorge ourselves with past revelations and hope for something new to come along.

I like the way Metrotokyo arranged it for TRON Legacy, where the first two discs are the film mix and the remaining two are the alternates. As much as I like film mixes, it's still nice to hear the different versions. Hell, I'll stick to a non-film version if it does make the listening experience better.

I'd rather go over to a friend's house and watch it with them so we can make fun of it. :laugh:

Scared the crap out of me. It's weird, there's no clear-cut definition of which horror films scare me and which do not. Some are so dumb and an utter waste of my time, others serve their purpose and make my skin crawl. I will say it's the same exact thing as TBWP, but I'm still freaked out as I'm sittin here on my bed in darkness as the credits roll.

You would be the only individual I've encountered thus far who has made such a claim. Clearly there must be something wrong with you� :erm:

Just looking for a copy right now:

I remember why I've been holding off on it all these years.
There's only HDTV rips out so far.

I was hoping there would be a 4K scan for bluray.

I remember walking past the VHS cover as a kid so many times in the video store and that alone creeped me out.

Any time there's a kid involved... :mad: EVERY time!

Or a D-Theater rip. Those are very nice, too.
The True Lies D-Theater rip is the closest we'll get to a bluray for that movie.

The Haunting (1999) has a D-Theater rip.

Although they use MPEG-2 compression, the quality is definitely worth looking into.
They really took care with their transfers.


I should think back to that video store and walk down the isles.
New releases...
$2 rentals...
Imported...
Horror...

C.H.U.D. was a cover I saw a lot...

I remember a couple times when I was younger walking around in Blockbuster; came around to the horror section once, twice, three times not nice, and saw some covers I wish I never did.

I wasn't scared out of my mind, thankfully, but it just doesn't put good ideas in your head, as you can always clearly see. :p

Like The Haunting in Connecticut. That one's really strange :erm:

That's a very good point, George.

Gave the FYC promo of The Social Network a listen. Despite the few tracks of pure noise, it was a surprisingly engaging listen that hit the various sweet spots I usually listen to outside of film music. It's strange this is the one film score that had immediate enjoyment out of me, but i guess it's just how I reacted.

That's a very good point, George.

Yeah, that's why I made it. :p

Let me tell ya.....James Cameron could be doing a LOT better things with his time than spending two or more entire fucking decades making two or more Avatar films.

I mean, I saw Avatar in the theatre when it was out (that wasn't the only instance), and it's neat and kind of interesting, but the film was released in 2009 or something, and it will have been 9 years since come the time the movie actually comes out. That's far too long. Blame me, but unless it turns out being one of the best movies I've ever seen, I don't care too much about it anymore; to me the interest is running thin.

Perhaps I'm in the minority with this sentiment?

What bothers me is not that he's making these films, but the time and money he's taking to put them into action and onto the big screen, when he could be making far better films.

Classical > VGM > Film music

You would be the only individual I've encountered thus far who has made such a claim. Clearly there must be something wrong with you� :erm:

Would it surprise you that--even in light my recent share--I detest (or "loathe" is a good word) "The Walking Dead" show?! Someone gave me S1 for Christmas one year, and I wanted too many people off'd already. It DEFINITELY didn't keep my interest. So when the same friend gave me S2, I tossed it.

But, I'm sure those dvd's might've made decent coasters.

Classical > VGM > Film music

For real ?

You're rating VGM above Film ?

A bit surprised to say the least...

No Question about Classical of course.

I'm being a bit facetious, they all have their pros and cons.
But ultimately I think video game music has a lot more malleability; i.e. works a lot better for outside listening. Film music- especially the older stuff - is tied tightly to specific actions in film, while video game music is a bit more nebulous in its connection.

That doesn't mean I'm endorsing the unmelodious sound design shit RCP "composes" for films, or that I dislike Korngold, Williams, etc. for "mickey-mousing", but in terms of listening to outside its proper zone, VGM in general wins by a mile.

---------- Post added at 04:18 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:16 PM ----------


I love all three categories by the way, and I obviously have a strong affinity for film music especially (and likely always will). But it's often a lot easier to get into an unfamiliar VGM score than an unfamiliar film score.

GROAN, I can't stand TWD either. It's just a bunch of dudes screaming "we gotta get to the next checkpoint before the zombies!" for 40 minutes at a time. Nothing ever changes.

I hear ya Skelly.

Still i'm totally into Film and TV Music, love it so much !! <3

Sorry, i meant Cartoon Music ! :p

I absolutely love all three categories as well, but I've found myself delving much more into classic music and film scores than anything else of late :erm:

But I also think a point to be made is that almost all characteristics of film music stemmed from classical music in some way or another; it's sort of like the root of most music we know well and love today. That's why composers study that stuff.

One big problem with listening to film music outside of the film is the composer is limited from the outset.
"I want to write an action-packed cue!"
"Okay well it can be only 33 seconds, that's how long the fight is."

That 33 seconds is kickass in film but outside it's not as rewarding to hear.
Whereas a video game composer, he essentially can write an ∞ action track if he loops it well.

Film music- especially the older stuff - is tied tightly to specific actions in film

This reminds me of something. It's seems like I remember reading that Bernard Herrmann made a point of how a score he'll compose for a film must be able to work well on it's without the film's narrative, or he wouldn't score it at all. It was something like that.

Or I could be completely mistaken and am mixing things up.

That VGM Cue better still sounds great on the 94th Loop or
People are gonna take the CD out of the fucking Drive and Frisbee it out of the fucking Window.

"Do video games even have music?" - Spencer Nilsen

I completely agree, though. Writing music for a video game is nearly unlimited and the possibilities are much more broad. I definitely notice too often a couple of film cues I love but could well be much better if only they weren't limited by narrative. Sometimes a piece of music in a film completely changes on behalf of a sudden turn in events, or else the music would be allowed to fully state itself.

For example, ABZ� could just not have been done for a film. Its music is instead allowed to journey and resonate as far the ocean will allow it to. There's one or more 10+ minute pieces in that score.

Plenty of people hate/dislike/loathe/couldn't give two shits about it. Personally, I find it consistently poorly plotted and written and provides for variable entertainment value. But then so is the comic it's based on.

Chocobo theme

There's a lot of versions to that one.
Some very simply synth, and some very dancy.

Can't find it on youtube.
But some point in the game of FF7, you come across the basic theme and it uses nothing but one synth instrument for it.
It's a minimalist theme. Sounds like someone strumming on a keyboard.

Or it was 8. It's in all of them.

But 7 has some wild versions. One version on a fiddle for the racing, a softer melody for the farm.
And then roaming the world on a chocobo.

That's demonstrably false. Unless, of course, you confine your listening habits to shitty "composers".

I'm not talking about people like Morricone who make sure their music is placed at the forefront.

---------- Post added at 05:23 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:14 PM ----------

A little more on film music being more limited; there is always the possibility of the composer's themes or general work to be fleshed out more in a more freely complete form by means of suites on the album, or even a lot of occasions there exists on the album the full recording of whichever cue that may be edited to shit in the film. But there is still plenty of instances where it does feel the piece is able to make a full statement without being abruptly ended because of events in the film, though many factors contribute to that point.

As much as I'm far more tolerable of the Beach City episodes than several others, I'll admit that they are somewhat detracting from the more interesting stuff. So much was revealed from the new batch of episodes, yet it's pretty obvious we won't be going back to it for a while. Still, I appreciate the filler for being a breather after the heavier stuff (even if they take up more space), and can be important in the most surprising ways (Super Watermelon Island for example). I can still understand that opinion though.

Don't you worry about the new episodes. They'll be the best batch in a while. Probably might even be my favorite set of them so far. Just be avoiding spoilers please, and don't be over hyped.

Highly recommended:



Aside: so does this site reside on the shittiest shared server on the planet or is it because it's being slammed by requests (intentionally or not)?

So I'm not the only one experiencing database errors and / or slowness of the severe. :notgood:

What other classical(?) music or composers could you compare that to, by the mention? Or is that too far off?...

It's a multifarious work (from material from the composer's earlier opera of the same name) based upon the premise that each successive movement should be the opposite of the other, so not only does it switch from, let's say, strident to pastoral, but also from atonal to tonal. It's very late 20th century.

Sounds intriguing enough, I'll see to and about looking into it.

Bloody hell, this cue....is stunning. The articulation, the bit of atonal in the melody, it's probably the best of the score; the most classical in nature; the one with the most amount of emotion. It's sort of with a mourning demeanor; I believe it underscores the during and the aftermath of JFK's assassination. The stings carry it so beautifully with (dramatic) style and variation. 1:13 and on is the prime time.

I mean, I love it, both the film and the music is great, and as I've already mentioned, the music has a nice 'moving forward' sort of positive feel, but when looking at what happens in the film, e.g. sacrificing his assistant's life on behalf of 'good footage' and clearly with no regret (because he's surely a psychopath), the music must be instead be representative of his perspective rather than everyone else's, I'm assuming.

I love the dramatic articulation in the (leti)motif here...which is heard right away in the beginning with a more toned-down statement.

No wonder the inclusion of these symphonies in this album; they're so wonderful. Because I've skipped around a little bit, the IV of the 7th (shown above); II of the 8th; and IV of the 9th are my absolute favorites. I'm particularly transfixed with the IV of the 7th symphony, and it's gotten stuck in my head quite a few times, to me it's captivating, but that's no problem :)

There's actually even a section that sounds very similar in structure, tempo and style to Giacchino's "Rogue One", like the first appearance then repeated with additional orchestration.

I do approve. I saw it in the theater. The script didn't play his autism as a liability, showed him turning it into an asset and how others with the same challenges cannot only survive but thrive. I expected nothing less from Gavin O'Conner - who directed Warrior - and Affleck.

The censored version of Return of the Joker assblasted composer Kristopher Carter in that he had to be present in the editing room, so that he could slavishly make sure that when they cut out a punch, the music was edited accordingly so everything could still be in proper sync.

Rated or unrated version?I do approve. I saw it in the theater.

I wish I saw it in theatres. I'm not like "oh man, I would have died to have seen that!" but I let's just say I would have been very satisfied if I paid $13 to see it rather than for free in the comfort of my own home.

Never saw Warrior. I've been very vocal about how much I hate Affleck in the past (when he was cast as the Dark Knight it was the end of the world), but you cannot deny he's a great actor. I really liked him in this, he played the part great.

I have no idea what this is, but it's hilarious: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mm_niiQfeWc

A few years ago there was a TV show called THE SLAP, and it presented the gripping narrative of a guy who gave a neighborhood kid an aggressive tap on the cheek (a SLAP - gasp!) for being an asswipe to other kids. He went to trial and his life was ruined. I guess that video is a takeoff on how stupid the concept of the show was.

Wait-now-hold-on-a-minute, there was a fucking show that was made out of that concept that was serious?? Heh, it really should've been a joke in the first place, or preferably not made at all.

In this one he would just immediately slap anyone who would dare ever contradict his actions (slapping) :laugh:

No doubt it was one of those crappy pseudo-drama TV shows.

Paranormal Activity: The Ghost Dimension

They all went downhill after the 2nd, but the story continued to intrigue me. That's really the only thing it has going for it, other than the cheap scares that still scare the shit out of me. I'm freaking myself out just typing this up :laugh:

Paranormal Activity: The Ghost Dimension

And chronologically backwards, from what I remember.

I basically stopped after 2; only started 3 and never finished. How many are there now, like, 6?

Even though it's all pretty fucking cliche by now, especially the first, a lot of it genuinely scared me too. But it was still damn good! I might want to re-watch 1 and 2 and continue on from there with the ones I never saw...it's been about 4 years since I've watched any.

EDIT: Ha! The chronological order is so screwed up:
1. Paranormal Activity 3 (2011)
2. Paranormal Activity (2007)
3. Paranormal Activity 2 (2010)
4. Paranormal Activity 4 (2012)
5. Paranormal Activity: The Marked Ones (2014)
6. Paranormal Activity: The Ghost Dimension (2015)

I agree. 3 I really wanted to watch because it seemed as it was going to finally reveal some pretty juicy background information as to why all of the events of the past two films were happening, therefore I though it would be the most interesting film. I'm sort of glad I haven't watched it yet.

Hah, "chronologically backwards" would imply that they're in order just from end to beginning, which is far from the order. It's been a few years, but if memore serves me right, it's 3, then the first 2/3 of 2, then all of 1, then the rest of 2, then 4. But The Marked Ones would have to be split and spliced into certain areas. That one ties into the first one in a rather brilliant way, I must say. But I won't spoil it for you. AFAIK, Ghost Dimension comes right after 4.

EDIT: I see you looked up their order. That's somewhat accurate. They overlap each other.

Ah, I just went off the years I saw on the Wikipedia page, should've known better. :laugh: From what you're saying it sounds as if they're divided within themselves quite (too) often, making for one hell of a mess for a timeline.

Ahhh dude 3 is when we start finding out why all this shit is happening. It's fully explained. 4 wasn't necessary, The Marked Ones kinda was (story-wise, none of these films are "necessary" lol). To Grandma's house we go!

In Ghost Dimension, we finally see Toby in his demonic form. Not sure if I want to see that, as the most horrifying thing about all the films is you never see him. That, and also the fact (that for me, anyway) that demonic posession is totally possible. These movies strike me to my core, and that's why they really scare me.

I wish someone with the proper editing skills would splice them ALL together in chronological order and upload it as a torrent. That'd be pretty sweet.
