I don't remember much of it. Again, I saw at whichever year it was released, or possibly the year after. I just didn't often pay much attention, just looking at the screen every couple minutes or so, also it depended on what was on, and / or how well it kept my interest.

I do remember an Evil Kenevil sort of scene, but that's about all.

:erm: For part 1?
I recommend watching it again.

And then just watch the trailer for part 2.
You can immediately see the difference in directing and just overall production value.
It really feels like Uwe Bowell got his hands on it somehow. :vomit:



Watching The Producers. 2005 remake.
Friends and I were singing some of the parts while playing The Elder Scrolls Online.
Although, we were more or less just shouting some of the lines and lyrics.

Yeah, the first film. Cage's character was jumping through a ring of fire or something.

Oh ho, this pleases me.

Imagine, Generation IV remakes on the Nintendo Switch? Oh the possibilities.

The next Pok�mon game in the Switch would definitely be another huge change just like the change from DS to 3DS was. Imagine a Pokemon mainstream game with console power.. no more 3DS pixel limits.. no more 240p, but 720p.

Anyone watch the Rocky Horror remake?

Ah yes, Theophany. Totally forgot. Times End from that album is my favourite. I'm digging that Bioshock one, and the Fear the Dark one has put me in the mood for the heavy metal songs from Call of Duty Black Ops Zombies.

And pretty much the entire Life is Strange soundtrack is rollercoaster of emotions for me.

Wait, why do we know the composer for THOR: RAGNAROK, but not the one for SPIDER-MAN: HOMECOMING? Doesn't Spidey hit theaters before Thor?
If it's someone from RCP I'm gonna flip out.

Maybe Giacchino.

Seems like I read that somewhere. I don't think it's concrete information yet, though.

Hoping.. .. ..

If it is coming out before Thor and we don't know who the composer is, it's definitely going to be RCP.

It's going to be another Curse of the Black Pearl.

What I'm hoping is that Rogue One is best Giacchino score since Medal of Honor: Airborne.

Does Giacchino even have a style? Honest question here. I've never been able to identify a solid musical identity for Michael Giacchino.

New age composers, it's very difficult.
Since 100 new genres have been created.

Ever check those oldschool sites for trailer music?
Or even the tags for official bootlegs of Two Steps From Hell music?
Or even some iTunes?

Nearly 1000 new categories for types of music.

Nothing's linear and traditional as oldschool composers that founded the very music we have today.

As of late, Giacchino can mostly be identified for his jaunty action music.
It's light percussion.
He has sort of a "jungle" theme to it. If you remember some dance/trance/techno music using "jungle" styles (Mortal Kombat movie soundtracks).
He's the complete opposite of heavy percussionist Brian Tyler.

Does Giacchino even have a style? Honest question here. I've never been able to identify a solid musical identity for Michael Giacchino.

Brass. Lots of brass.

James Horner for instance you just know. Even his early Star Trek stuff.
Same goes for John Williams. Home Alone and Harry Potter have that connection you can just hear.

Giacchino? Not really. Unless someone would like to enlighten me.

I aim to please.

Those are old composers from simpler times.

Composers today can't do traditional.

Kids are have ADHD so the music needs to evolve rapidly.
It has to sound like it was written under the heavy influence of cocaine.

I just did enlighten you.

It's generational.
You can't compare new-age Giacchino to oldschool Williams.

One has themes, the other just has style.

The fact you know the oldschool composers more than Giacchino, proves it.

I seriously worry about how this Spidey movie will turn out.
Especially since Ned Leeds look like this.



Good God. It's the winner of last year's hot dog eating contest.
How the hell will he even work at the Daily Bugle. He can't even walk up the stairs to their office without a cupcake break.

You're not.

I hope he's not cast as "comedy relief" because that would be insulting.

I can see it now:

SCENE: PETER meets up with NED during lunch.
PETER: What happened to you, Ned?
NED: FLASH took some of my lunch money! I was able to only afford five twinkies!
*Canned laughter*

I hope he's not cast as "comedy relief" because that would be insulting.

Just look at him.
He is.

It's not above hollywood to perpetuate stereotypes. Even today.
He probably won't talk like he's from that Fat Albert cartoon, but he's definitely going to sound like some coked up teen.

When they announced the cast and a teaser at comic-con, he was always smiling.
When someone smiles that much, they're not going to put them in a mildly quiet role.

Sure, lots of actors smile.
But not 24/7 like he does.

But judging the performance in Civil War, they're all going to be comedy relief.
It's going to be another TMNT movie where all the characters are comics.

The only two TMNT movies I would recommend are the 1990 one and 2007 one.

I like the 2007 animated feature.

I've seen quite a few people not like it.
But it was enjoyable. Very much.

It's one I'd definitely buy on bluray.
Or UHD-BD. There should be zero banding on the UHD-BD if they ever did that.

I don't see why Marvel and DC don't just re-release their animated features on UHD-BD.
Destroy all that banding.

Only Seen the 2 New Ones Of TMNT.....

The only two TMNT movies I would recommend are the 1990 one and 2007 one.

I bet the master files have banding. :sad:

The Walking Dead 6x03, "Thank You"

You're Welcome. :erm:

I bet the master files have banding. :sad:

no they don't.

It's just that they are auotmatically processed to dvd or bd.
The encode settings are what defines everything.
In cases of automation, it's a lot like itunes. All crap quality.

There's minimal human supervision in their processing.
The market for them is a lot smaller than their live-action.

None of my friends nor family (that I can visit in person) care about cartooon movies.
Even though the adult themes are more than convincing than live action blockbusters.

It'd be a waste of resources to pay supervisors to do quality-checks.

I've seen plenty of movies released on blurays for Canada/USA that have terrible banding.
But when another country does it, zero banding.

Maybe the other countries just have placebo-like settings to begin with why their transfers are better.

Yes, that Vince Dicola.

If they don't care to encode their BDs without blatant banding, do you think they keep a first-generation master around? Or at least a decent-looking copy?
I'd certainly like to think they do... :erm:

It should be in their practice to keep first-generation masters.
Even if they never use them.

They're probably only kept for certain occasions like a limited viewing for some restricted event.
Or to create a new transfer for limited broadcasting.

Those venues are cheaper than reproducing new discs.



Just finished Danny Elfman's "The Girl on the Train".
Very placid.

Eflman is becoming more and more of a disappointment lately.

It's all generic mystery music.
All the tracks sound the same. Nothing stands out.

He should go back to his 90's phase.
Upbeat melodramatic pieces.

He's clearly being overworked.

A while ago I finished watching Good Will Hunting.
My roommate said he was going to watch it. He watched five minutes (while on his phone) and left the room, never to return. The epitome of the teen attention span, right there.
Even though I normally can't stand Matt Damon I enjoyed him in this one. And even though I normally can't stand Ben Affleck he did a good job emulating Happy Gilmore for a couple hours.
Pretty interesting to see Robin Williams become the mother figure and Skarsgard the father.

Great score by Elfman as well!

The good days of Elfman.

I think that was Affleck's better roles in his early years until recently.

The real challenge is to sit through Gigli.
Or Forces of Nature.

Now I'm spinning Broke Sky - Ritmanis, Carter, and McCuistion.
It falls into some pretty cliche tropes for a midwest tale of misery right from the start... you know, 'twang... twang... twang..."
I think they were given a timetable of two weeks to write it though, so that can be forgiven to an extent. The score is damn fun to listen to though.

It was frickin' hilarious though to realize who Affleck reminded me of. An hour in and I was like, "holy shit! This is Adam Sandler as Happy Gilmore!" :laugh:

:rofldata: Another sad story.

I thought I liked the one where he has to go back to school.
I watched half an hour of it and couldn't finish it.

Happy Gilmore I've watched to death on VHS.

Wedding Singer is decent every few years.

Waterboy is generally safe any time.

I don't remember Bullet Proof at all.
I remember my brother walking in the middle of it complaining that all Sandler does is scream at the tv.

I don't remember Little Nicky nor Mr. Deeds.

And 8 Crazy Nights has been watched once so I'm good for that.

Track 7, 'Tess Fishing' - Kris Carter borrowed took a leaf from his compositions for YESTERDAY WAS A LIE with the percussion.
There are three composers but you can tell who did what based on the samples they used.
Old-school Ritmanis used really grating ones, but they grow on you after a while. In her defense, the technology was still young.

Of course. I recognize Giacchino's fast-paced, exciting, dissonant, and sometimes bombastic (or lighter, but definitely reliant on brass), not too melodic action cues. That's one of the aspects I like about him, his action style, that which you can hear in Call of Duty's (that's its majority) and Jurassic World's action tracks. If you want examples, I'll give 'em.

I've also sometimes noticed a particular fashion or have gotten an impression from his use of brass, and / or sometimes other instruments. There's other similarities throughout a number of his scores I wouldn't really do well to describe, other than "that's just Michael Giacchino". If you'd prefer I elaborate, I'll try my best, but it might turn out ugly. :p

Really? Do you laugh whilst listening to the others? :p

I think Angels & Demons had some beautiful moments from what I heard, like the first 30 seconds or so of Sede Vacante (https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B18GQkZXWsEVSk1WN1dzcmJESUU). The whole of it is great too, but in a different way.

Not laugh. Break my composure and take off the headphones.

Angels & Demons showcases Hans at his most obnoxious, what with his drunken petal to the metal approach to suspense and action.

Gotta agree. "160 BPM" is boring as hell.

Cacophonic. Bastardized deriviation from the Latin, cacāre.

Gotta agree. "160 BPM" is boring as hell.

That cue impressed the hell out of me when I heard it for the first time yesterday. It showed me that there was something more to Zimmer than I had previously thought (Despite still not thinking he's a great conposer).

I sometimes swear you shouldn't write anything, considering how insanely picky and pessimisic you are about scores and a lot of other things.

HunterTech: there's a cure for foot and mouth disease, ya know. It mainly includes not talking with your foot in your mouth.

A drunken petal to the metal approach I think can substantiate to an enjoyable experience more so often than dislikable. It really comes to down to differentiating judgement of what one generally enjoys... even a critically shunned piece of music can sometimes prove to be entertaining.

So, does your statement count for the section I mentioned? Is there at least any harmony on that?

I did specifically cite "suspense and action", George. In any case, is Sede Vacante on the official album?

What I said does attend to what you cited. Apologies, I should've reiterated in my post to show that's what I was in part referring to.

And, no. The official album does not include that cue, which I think is a shame. By the mention, they could've squeezed more material onto the official release, 13 - 16 more minutes, at least.

My 2nd All Time Fav OUAT Track. :D

It showed me that there was something more to Zimmer than I had previously thought

Really? It's a classic Zimmer method. Just the same musical figure repeated ad infinitum, but with more elements piled on and on until the listener is steamrollered.
The first twenty seconds are exhilarating until you realize that's all you're getting. There's no payoff or climax.
Sometimes that method works. It gives Inception and Interstellar a 'stream of consciousness' or 'train of thought' atmosphere. Very fluid for listening in the film and out of it (fatiguing if you overindulge though).
But 160 BPM is just silly in my opinion. There's no development, or at least real development. I've never seen the movie but I guess it's a suite of some kind, so that may explain why it's not terribly good for listening.

It's the general problem with pop/rock guys who never took any foundational courses in composition and orchestration and depend upon on the simplistic structural patterns and 4 man band arrangements of youth music to get by.

(Despite still not thinking he's a great conposer).

Don't get me wrong, I think he's a (relatively) great composer. Interstellar proved that he can still write music that elicits great emotional response from the viewer. Maybe now that he's distancing himself from capeshit films he'll have more time to produce those kinds of scores as opposed to, say, BvS-type stuff.

I wouldn'nt be able to stand that... :laugh:

It's not like I think the guy is total shit either, it's just that I think a lot of his scores play better as 8-15 minutes suites or as compacted 30 minute albums, because past the 30 minute mark the paucity of invention and compositional aptitude really begins to show through, particularly in scores like Interstellar and Inception.

And sometimes his ideas are just frightfully juvenile to begin with.

I think that's his most puerile score. I can just imagine him just saying, "God, all these superhero flicks make me tired. You know what, let's just jam around on electric guitar for an hour. They'll eat it up!"

I try to broaden my horizons occasionally... I'm not very good at it though. But at the same time some of my favorite music today came from saying, "I wonder what this sounds like?"

"Ch�teau" - Koichi Sugiyama | Symphonic Suite Dragon Quest I.II

Thomas Newman - [American Beauty #04] Lunch With The King

This might be the highlight of this excellent score.

You are mostly excused, Scores for animated Features are A-okay for me in most Cases.

It would surely help to be educated to that extent at the least. It could greatly benefit anyone who hasn't. And even though you may can get by entirely self-taught, and such, on as little as no education, not being able to read sheet music (I think that might be Nobuo Uematsu), you can facilitate if you know the various methods of and how music works and the fundamentals. Following standard methods don't allow for much interesting and rich creativity, but I think they can help one along to way to craft compositions with more character.

I often times find my own work is too repetitive, so it could definitely benefit myself to be actually knowledgeable on the subject, in that way. Though being self-taught isn't too detrimental.

I've done so a little in the past months, but I've still a lot of ground to tread.

I wonder what we would get if Hans handed his sketches (aka Garage Band files) over to a more credible pop/rock composer, say Clint Mansell or Cliff Martinez, who would then in turn mould Hans' sketches into something more mature, more credible.

Danny Elfman never took a single course on composition and neither did Shirley Walker. Both of them are among the greatest film composers to have ever lived. 'Composer' seems to be one of the few occupations where you are judged by your quality of work rather than what school you went to.

^^ Definitely not that.

My issue is that I'm not very well versed in the music score world, period. Part of that is because I see so much discussion on whether modern scores are worth giving a damn that I just get scared away from listening to ANYTHING. Plus, I just suck at getting to listening to new things, considering I cling on to what I listen to most.

I'm willing to believe that, considering he is a big Kraftwerk fan.

Not true. Elfman dove into educating himself into the finer points of composition in the 90s, and it shows. As for Ms. Walker:

"Walker was a piano soloist with the San Francisco Symphony during high school, and later attended San Francisco State University on a piano scholarship.[6] She studied music composition under Roger Nixon and piano studies with Harald Logan of Berkeley, California."

You can't become a recognized conductor of music if you don't know how individual instruments work alone and in concert and why certain combinations work and other don't. She was noted to remark on Elliot Goldenthal that he wasted the orchestra.

"Though being self-taught isn't too detrimental." stemmed entirely from that point. In fact, it probably isn't detrimental at all. Because not having any education can let you learn and find your own style that may be so unique, something that might not happen when "following the books".

As for Ms. Walker:
"Walker was a piano soloist with the San Francisco Symphony during high school, and later attended San Francisco State University on a piano scholarship.[6] She studied music composition under Roger Nixon and piano studies with Harald Logan of Berkeley, California."

She dropped out of that college and as far as I know always thought herself as largely self-taught: composing, conducting, the whole works.

True that!

Nothing against self-taught. Creativity isn't born in the classroom. Many a "classical" composer rose from the same. But "self-taught" means self-teaching which also means learning from the knowledge set down by your predecessors, and occasionally, your contemporaries.

Well, self-taught is exactly my current status, and it has its pros and cons. I sometimes unknowingly perform in certain (probably standard) methods of music I don't even know what the hell is, or couldn't identify if you asked me.

So true!

Exaggerated, but very realistic in it's message regardless.

I should put Moby on my list of things I'll take forever to get to listening.

Surprised how well the Vivaldi piece fits with the rest of the suite, the first section, which I think is part of the score. There's actually some related notes and melodies being shared.

Truly one of the best creative decisions and / or liberties ever taken by Sonic.

On essentially my first listening, this score is exceptional. A lot of very good moments.



Rose Of Arimathea is just beautiful..

The second half of this cue, particularly.

What am I going to watch?

Superman The Movie (1978)

Gonna put up the isolated score for this one to make things interesting.

Only in Hans' wildest fantasy could he erect 9 minutes of architecturally sound contrapuntal piece like "Come Maddalena" (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O96p6ZcO_B4).

Follow that with "Erotcio Mistico" (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UMMDivtYey8) from the same score… and then go back and listen to "160 BPM".

Won't lie, "160 BPM" sound heavily inspired by those cues... and they are far more interesting.

Even without the Dialogue and SFX, The movie still worked fantastically.

Was it an open link? What did you name the archive and the audio tracks?

Yeah it was an open link.
No tracks though.
Just the AC3 stream and I think I added timecodes for the chapters.

Be very cautious when uploading.
It is known now.
They'll be expecting it's return.

Perhaps something like that should be split into multiple password protected rars in separate password protected folders. May sound like overkill, but since they have a thumbprint of that particular upload any duplicate will go down just as fast.

Actually, split might be better. would need more work but worth it.

Disappointing. The sequel lost the first film's hard edge, interesting secondary characters and strong villain. Zwick was a poor replacement in both the writing and directing departments. It's quite clear McQuarrie, writer and director of the first film, was instrumental in making the film work.

But I don't actually know anybody, aside from when I was in elementary school, I had a small group of two very good friends. But just as what can happen often, since I was out of public school following the conclusion of 3rd grade, we stopped hanging out within 4 years or so. Kind of a long time period, but I was still in the same vicinity for a good portion of those 4 years. I would probably be lucky if I found anyone my age in real life that shares similar interests to my own.

And, ah, man, I had Vivaldi stuck in my head all day yesterday. It was wonderful. :laugh:

Beyond The Doctor's appearance and the musical references that accompanied him I found it very bad, and I've seen that the fandom is very much divided on what they think of it. You should at-least watch it to see what it's like; even though I personally wouldn't actually recommend it to anyone.

So it's someone he doesn't really care about.

Or maybe he's just too worn out to care about anyone else dying.
