: Gary Oldman I LOOOOOVE MOZART~ :

^THAT is such a good film and and such a great score. The main titles, namely, are so haunting and terrifying in one of the finest manners.

A 40th Anniversary Limited Edition Released Yesterday

Yes, I know, I've already ordered mine.

Home away from home…

Without listening to the whole album i can't choose my favorite tracks. Initially i'll pay attention to listen complete album, later i'll pick individual tracks that i likes much and deletes which i don't like. I don't create playlists and whenever I listen to music, I listen it in Shuffle mode so every track in my library needs to fulfill me.

But you've got Nickelback and god knows what else in there... So you shuffle genres as well? How can that be fulfilling? You can't even set a mood... Or do you at least have mood playlists?

But you've got Nickelback and god knows what else in there... So you shuffle genres as well? How can that be fulfilling? You can't even set a mood... Or do you at least have mood playlists?

I'll shuffle genres as well and i have no mood playlists. Everyone has its one taste of listening to the music and I enjoys listening in this way.

What music player is this^??

Yep. That Is Why I Chose It, The Color I Mean. :D

This Is Actually I Nice Player, Thanks For Showing It Off abdulkhan0567!

Does it work for FLAC, too? Do I need to do like iTunes and open everything again, or does it open everything directly from HDD?

FLAC and ALAC seems to work, and you choose which folders to scan for music.

Just watched the Ghostbusters remake... Despite a few flaws I have, I still enjoyed the film quite a lot! Kate McKinnon was my favorite character.

After in depth use of like a few hours, applying the scientific method yada yada, I think I'll be switching to MusicBee. As far as I can tell it's more lightweight than foobar2000, and album art loads a lot quicker. I also find it a lot easier to customise after getting used to it.

(Also it has those pretty iTunes colours.)

Also, I'm thinking Doctor Strange is both my favourite Marvel score, and my favourite Giacchino score. I felt that The Master of the Mystic End Credits was slightly misrepresentative of the score as a whole, but all in all I ended up liking it.

On a related note, just listened to some Recore by Chad Seiter (very nice), who happened to work with Giacchino at some stage.

AY! How's that compilation been treatin' ya?

Got the 3 theatrical movies of the original on Plex.
Plus the remake.
Might dig up the TV movies that continue the movies.
I think there's 5 and then the remake.

Found the scene with Sam Niell talking to the cross in the third one to be interesting.

Will be doing a marathon over the next few days.

Did Jason Vorhees, Freddy Krueger, The Thing.
For The Thing, I still need to get the older one. The Thing From ANother Planet or something?

Got Michael Myers and the Chucky doll. I forgot the dude's name that possesses the doll.

Phantasma. Up to the newest one this year.

I've done Scream to death countless times. But by god I'll watch them again.

Just watching the original Rocky Horror Picture Show and trying hard to not crank it on the sound system at 2am here in the apartment building.

I need to check theaters if it's playing anywhere. :( Watch it on the big screen.

I'm gonna take this chance to remind and tell you guys that Shaun the Movie 2 is happening, confirmed today by Aardman and Studio Canal.

I hope it's as good as the first one.

Same here. If anyone reading this hasn't listened to Eshkeri's score... shame on you!

Listening to it right now. Also been wanting it on CD for a while, but it's still on my wishlist. One day. Rogue Nation the other day, and this one some other time..

Considering how much the movie did not do well at the box office, I'm surprised it's getting a sequel.

It is a brand, though...

It did well in other places, and got gorgeous critics, and most importantly, sells well, in terms of countries buying the movie

Considering how much the movie did not do well at the box office, I'm surprised it's getting a sequel.

It didn't do so well in the US. It was a hit in the UK though.

America sure as hell didn't watch it, which is frustrating, but in a Minion dominated market, it doesn't surprise me.

Of course! Two British people I listen to definitely gave it high remarks when they watched it.

It didn't go well in the box office due to competition, but it did go well with american critics and the families who went to see it.

Daily reminder that the Minions movie made a BILLION at the box office. Good God. :sick:

I remember Shaun the Movie being avaialble to download before it hit North America.

I enjoyed the movie a lot. It was adorable.
Maybe a little too long for most audiences.

But I can see it not doing well here.

My friend's kids went to it and liked it. But I don't think enough to buy it on bluray.
They got every Pixar and Disney movie pre-ordered for bluray though.

Patrick Gowers's work for Sherlock Holmes is stunning.

33:00 - 34:13 (https://youtu.be/pZmBUrArStM?t=33m), one of the most beautiful, exceptionally written escalations, and advances to culmination I've ever heard in any classical piece - this one happens to be one of my favorites.

Yes, although I've not even close to heard more than two, I think Anton Bruckner's 7th symphony, more particularly the second movement "Adagio", is the one that connects with me most. There are those specific moments which really characterizes how and why I enjoy it so much, (like 32:12 - 34:13 (https://youtu.be/pZmBUrArStM?t=32m12s), and 27:54 - 31:03 (https://youtu.be/pZmBUrArStM?t=27m54s), which is the section I'm most familiar with; the section that was used in Call of Duty) and the elegant style overall.

Why is this? You're damn right it has a lot to do with it's prominent use in Call of Duty and Call of Duty: United Offensive, that's the whole reason I know about it, but it was also months ago that I listened to the entirety for the first time, and I've loved more and more each time. It's a really long piece, (21 - 25 minutes, depends on performance) but nothing unusual to some of the genre's standards. :p

Yeah... the romantic classical era is definitely one of my favorites.

Just finished "V for Vandetta" for the first time. I really enjoyed it!

Now read the graphic novel.

And try find the pirate movie they were watching.
It's not in HD.

I Can't Really Choose Any Favs As Yet, I Like All, Because It's All Different.

Geoff Knorr - Arabia (The Medieval Era) - Sid Meier's Civilization VI Original Soundtrack

Usually not into ethnic Music, but this sounds pretty nice.

Ethnic music? I'm into that. Or should I say, explicitly, a good sum of Southern Mediterranean (Arabic, Egyptian, Middle-Eastern, etc) music I really enjoy, and music of any other cultures that share a lot of the same melodies; I've noticed that Spain, Hungary, and in some cases, Russia has offered some of those sort of tunes that fit my agenda. But it varies, in some ways. Admittedly, there exists music within these ethnic genres that I really don't care for, I think it's safe to say that each one consists of different categories of various melodies. Should you want some examples, I will provide some, but off the top of my head, belonging to the Southern Mediterranean group, would be the Prince of Persia scores by Stuart Chatwood; a series which clearly calls precedent for such a style of music. But also, if considered the individual composer's perception of how the music is going to or should be, I can expect some different things, some of which I'll like, and some of which I'll not like. It depends.

Now, apologies if I've digressed quite some bit here... but what I was going to say is that the words 'ethnic' and 'Arabia' caught my eye, and that I think Civilization VI's score looks really interesting. Looks like there's a track for most countries, which should (hopefully) result in some diversity. :) so I'm going to check this out.

That it is, that it is. If you've not heard them yet, two tracks that I would urge you to listen to are "After the Drop" and "Arnhem"; two very emotional and very beautifully elegant cues from Medal of Honor: Frontline that I, in my humble opinion, think it is absolutely essential that everybody listen to them. Personally, they've both driven me to very mild tears, and are so beautiful, and so effective, that, just... you know. Very highly recommended to any soul who's not heard them.

If there's a top 5 for Giacchino cues, they're in there.

And, in the case you've already heard them, well, by God aren't they heavenly?!

I'm not really into soundtrack covers but that looks surprisingly really good and much better than the official one!

The movie was also very blah.
It has some decent parts to it to make it an interesting survival movie.
But it turns into another Hunger Games instantly.
Teens fighting and stuff.

A lot of it was predictable.

I'd have enjoyed it more as a general post-apocalyptic movie of her trying to survive without the aliens.
It was like two separate movies.
I wanted the first one.

Lead actress Chloe Moretz or whatever her name is is a big deal right now on 4chan.
Her piggishness ripples through /tv/ as a meme. It was amusing for maybe five minutes before people began making threads nonstop, and still do to this day.
I've read that her acting experiences have actually led her to being rather well-rounded.

Piggishness?
Well rounded?

Like intentionally distorted to create a dubstep presence.

A lot of slow rises to change the tempo slightly.

It's never been highly a highly regarded score.

Why not? The synths are a little grating in some tracks but overall it's a lot more expressive than, say, Ottman.

Too much minor mode special sauce slapped on a undercooked theme that spills outa the side of a mushy, bi-polar electro-orchestral bun, leaving behind the same over-processed aftertaste as the composer's other fusion cuisine recipe: Event Horizon.

That, and it virtually makes no dramatic contribution to the film proper.



Of course, my remarks should be read with the understanding that the assignment was a contentious one for the composer, with opposing interests seeking different outcomes.

Indeed; Singer wanted Ottman but he was working on some other movie.
I admit that I'm a bit of a sucker for those late 20th/early 21st century synths though.

I hope we never get another X-Men movie from Fox after Deadpool 2.

---------- Post added at 07:56 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:54 PM ----------

What's funny is that Kamen's Magneto theme bears more than a little resemblance to a piece of Ottman's theme for the series.

I like Kamen's score to the first movie.
Some very exciting tracks. I overplayed them when gaming all the time.

Even the small things like when Wolverine first pulls out his claws slowly, is very captivating.
Just the sound design to it in general captures me.

When Wolverine and Rogue get rescued by Cyclops and Storm in the beginning, that's my ultimate favorite as it has the established X-Men theme.
I'll never be able to reproduce the excitement of hearing it the first time.
It was pure wonder.
It was perfect for the action onscreen.
The surprising introduction of two of the X-Men. The introduction of the theme. The introduction of a beautiful friendship.

I try to give it a couple years before listening to it again to try relive that moment.

Alas I cannot.

I'll admit, I think the album is a better presentation than the full score.
I don't listen to the whole thing. Just the highlights of the complete score.


after Deadpool 2

If we ever get another Deadpool.

Reynolds wants to stay and wants to copy/paste the first movie because it's a commercial formula.
But the director wanted to go a different direction because he already got everything out of the way in the first movie so now the character needs development.
So now it has no director.

The first X film struck me as a rush job with an awful script, two, perhaps three standout performances, but buoyed by a comic book savvy director trying his damnedest to make it look bigger and better than the penny-pinched budget would allow him.

Absolutely. The first X-Men film is dog doo-doo. I think the spectacle of seeing the characters on screen - and portrayed well, for the most part - was the one thing that made it so celebrated.

Yeah. People are glad because "oh Tim Miller was gonna ruin Deadpool, now we can have more Ryan Reynolds penis jokes lolol"
Well lightning doesn't strike twice. Miller knows they can't just run through the motions and repeat the success of the first. There's needs to be alteration, development, growth.

Because as problematic as the film is, particularly the rushed climax, it contains several more highly memorable scenes than it's sequels. I particularly like the whole train depot sequence.

What I hold as Kamen's most accomplished work for cinema and a practically perfect representation of a film score…

I still enjoy most the X-Men movies, so all your words don't mean a damn thing to me.

BINGO!

All of them have their strong points. But First Class is edited with all the contempt a studio suit could possibly haver for dramatic narrative: "where's the action, get to the action. The Chinese don't understand English, for fuck's sake! CUT! CUT! CUT!". DoFP's strong point is its attention to character. They're not just cool props to sell toys. Which is so unlike the Marvel conveyor belt, it's not funny.

That's not to say I still don't enjoy the execution and framework of First Class, though I would have preferred Singer had directed it.

Ugh! The only good part were the future sequences.
And the Quicksilver part.

Throughout the whole film, Charles is saying that he needs to appeal to Lawrence through her emotions, and not mentally shut her down. The problem is that Mystique is a TOTAL KILLER, and displays this not only throughout the entire film but also every other one (save First Class). The only reason she drops the gun is because the script needs her to. Utterly unconvincing.

Also, the ending is stupid.

DoFP's strong point is its attention to character. They're not just cool props to sell toys.

:this:

It's one of the few superhero films I've ever bothered to re-watch, considering most don't stick with me anymore.

OVERRATED. That's all I have to say.

I guess you've never seen The Winter Soldier.

It made me smile.

Go talk about why First Class deserves to be the "best."

I guess you've never seen The Winter Soldier.

Also overrated. Couldn't care for it much.

I like Rogue Cut a lot.

After you sit through all of them, it's really nice to see the focus of Eric's human side. His potential.
That's even more supported from watching First Class.

I love it when Charles and Eric team up. They could conquer the world if Charles wasn't so soft.

I think the Mystique in the prequel movies show more character than the assassin in the original trilogy.
Rebecca didn't have much to work with except gymnastics and showing off her blue bod.
We only ever got to see a different persona to her character in X3.
She was too much of a henchman. The Oddjob to...whoever hired Oddjob.

First Class humanized a lot of characters. Even Beast got to show his fleshy side.

The villains in First Class, however, are run-of-the-mill manufactured villains.
They were the Mystique and Toad of the first movie.

First Class not only humanizes Erik but also gives a convincing look at how he and Charles became frenemies. I think this is critical to understanding why Xavier puts up with his bullshit in all the other movies.
All the supporting characters are fleshed out. All of them, with the exception of Azazel. Each has a personality and a reason to remember them.
The style is indeed flashy but it is wholly backed up by substance. The plot is great, except for the silly beginning where li'l Erik blows up an entire lab but doesn't kill Shaw. I don't get that.


I have DAK's opinion on that, somewhat.

He probably told you Man of Steel was better. Well he's wrong, go watch it for yourself. It's a 10/10.

I am truly amazed, i was thinking Ethnicity would be the last Thing I'd ever listen to,
but this Track has me captivated...

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Eha7eqEsmHc

Mm, this track is actually not so much my cup o' tea. It's cool. I still appreciate it. But it's sort of... mystical in the way I'm not too fond of, and it wasn't what I expected to hear from a track labelled as "Arabia", it isn't too fitting for the given country, in my opinion. Of course, it depends on the artist's perception of how it should be (which relates back to what I spoke of a page or two back), and what usually serves as music for whichever respective ethnic style.

What I think would've worked better for this tack's place, is this (https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B18GQkZXWsEVSE5zOGl4bS0tb3M) (roughly 0:00 - 0:22 and 1:17 - 1:49), or something similar to it.

Even Egypt's theme would've worked well. That's actually the track I love from Civilization VI at the moment, it's so thematic and beautiful. I mean, how about 1:46 - 3:34 of "Egypt (The Industrial Era)" (https://youtu.be/pdlNKSJMEeY?t=1m46s)? THAT's what I look for. THAT's what sends tingles down my spine. Or, in your words verbatim, this track has me captivated. :p

Maybe you feel the opposite, I don't know, but I value your opinion because you have your own good reasons.

Azazel

That's his name!
He leaves a very little impression.
The red Nightcrawler.

I'll admit I haven't given First Class a watch in years. I still have the Blu-ray there, and it's Friday night, so perhaps...


First Class not only humanizes Erik but also gives a convincing look at how he and Charles became frenemies. I think this is critical to understanding why Xavier puts up with his bullshit in all the other movies.

Despite the fact that the friendship only really lasted a few weeks, as opposed to the original timeline having it be years, I'm supposed to believe they're former best of buds later on? Sure.


except for the silly beginning where li'l Erik blows up an entire lab but doesn't kill Shaw. I don't get that.

I imagine since Erik is in such a rage, he wouldn't have that much control over what would be his mind at that point. All the objects he attacks are random.


He probably told you Man of Steel was better. Well he's wrong, go watch it for yourself. It's a 10/10.

No worries: Man of Steel IS worse than Winter Soldier. Never have I ever felt so depressed watching a film about SUPERMAN!

Admittedly, I was on a rush when watching WS, so I definitely need to gave that another watch.

Quality over quantity. Their bond is strong regardless of the amount of time. I mean, hell, they're so close that they start a school together!

He has pretty good 'aim' a few seconds before when crushing those dudes' heads.

Also, you guys say DoFP wasn't made for the toy companies, but the baddies are GIANT ROBOTS. Toy companies love those things.

I like Rogue Cut a lot.

Definite improvement over the theatrical. Brings much needed 3rd act relevance to the old timers. Because that whole framing device of having the Future Friends standing around waiting for Kitty to finish her turn playing Operation (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operation_(game)) is just static and boring, going nowhere…very, very slowly.

Also, you guys say DoFP wasn't made for the toy companies, but the baddies are GIANT ROBOTS. Toy companies love those things.

Here's the thing: DOFP never had toys.

Marvel didn't let them, as one of the many means of fucking them over.

It didn't work.

Also, how the fuck does time travel work? Why didn't things immediately change when Logan went back in time, as they did the first time in the film Kitty does this? Completely inconsistent.

Time travel is often a very dodgy concept. Pretty difficult to utilize properly.

Unfortunately, I never really question such things, which might make me a dumb movie goer.

Time travel is often a very dodgy concept. Pretty difficult to utilize properly.

Okay, I get that, and I'm willing to have an open mind for a film's idea of time travel, but Kitty's powers worked one way at the beginning of the film and another way later on. :confused:

Also, I really don't like Jackman's First Class score, I rank it even below Kamen's. I'm also no real fan of Jennifer "Puddin' Face" Lawrence.

I almost forgot! Another point in DoFP's Rogue Cut favour: Hugh Jackman's ass.

I like Jackman's (or perhaps Hackman is a better name for him today) score for this film. Or at least bits of it.
He's very good at stealing your attention when he really wants to.
Excellent theme for Magneto too!

Indeed! I can't stand to watch the theatrical anymore.
I was enjoying it but as soon as I watched Rogue Cut, everything changed.


Also, how the fuck does time travel work?

That's never a sane question to ask.
The things that made it change instantly were the plot points they tried to fix in the past.
The first assassination attempt got thwarted.

The pivotal piont that would make them all disappear in the future would be Mystique actually killing Trask.
If any of them got killed during the past when it changed to a new line, I'm sure the future one would disappear.
They ought to have made some expendable characters to illustrate that.

The past plot largely depends on the status of the Sentinal project.
Which when Mystique gave up, the project was terminated. Thus removing all threat.
No one was really in immediate harm's way of disappearing. Only at the two points: the first meeting and then the football field.
Those were to be long-term effects in the time ripple.

When Kitty does it, the ripple is much shorter and the threat much more immediate than long term investment like the Sentinal project.
So her interaction affects them nearly instantly. There was still a delay in things changing for them as they showed with the threat of the beam slowing down.

I really want this on UHD-BD. 4K resolution....

So you're saying that critical, decisive events may take more time and energy on Kitty's part to mend?
Interesting. Okay, I'll buy that.

The theatrical got an UHD release, I think.
No word on the Rogue Cut.

Interesting. Okay, I'll buy that.

Rememeber they also said she can only go back a little bit because it breaks down a person.

They needed someone who can heal as quickly as they get hurt, hence Wovlerine.

She was also not that strong to send them back further to more critical points that would buy them much more time to get to safety and away from being hunted.
We can see how long they've been playing cat and mouse with the Sentinals at the very start.
Like they've been doing it for quite a while by now.
Any little bit they can to get everyone together to formulate a plan.

I suppose, if they spent enough time, they could have done an Edge of Tomorrow routine where they try their best to keep finding faster ways of convincing Wolverine and getting to a more secure place to start the time travel with Wolverine.
Even if it's a couple hours, all they need to do is get the earliest headstart to leave that mountain in the jet and fly to somehwere else before the Sentinals detect them at the mountain.
But that's too much risk. They'd be so vulnerable in the jet. Kitty would have to be prepared all the time to send someone back and start over from scratch to get Wolverine onboard the plan and then try a different route to outrun the Sentinals.

I bet they can make a game out of DoFP.
Have an entire level trying to outrun the Sentinals with Kitty.

it'd be a rushed and crappy game, but it's nice to think on it.

It's so (too) often a video game adaption of a film isn't handled correctly. Finding Nemo is a good example. Cheap voice acting, bad control, etc.

X-Men Origins: Wolverine is a reasonably well done adaption. Although it's exactly like God of War and Star Wars: The Force Unleashed in many ways, and that it vaguely follows the film's story, while sometimes completely straying from it, it's one of the few examples of a decent video game that was made under the brand or title of a film. Sadly, some of the LEGO video games succeeds in areas and fashions that actual video games of some respective films never did. And sometimes may serve as a game when there was never one made.

Spain and Norway are some more incredible themes. I prefer the industrial era for both of those tracks, and Egypt, and seemingly for most others.

It does sound a bit European Medieval Age -ish now that you mention it. I guess what i like most is
the hypnotic Quality to it...

That Goldsmith Track sounded Arabian, yes, but i didn't like it. :laugh:

The Part from Egypt(Industrial Era) is ok, but nothing remarkable to my Ears, i like the Part that starts at 4:02,
it says "Industrial Revolution" to me.

Everyone I Know Hates My Taste In Music, "Why Not Listen To The Latest Stuff?"

I Must Be Strange to Listen To Disney / Classical / Soundtracks ect....

:notgood:

Those people have no taste in music. They only seek out what's fresh in order to appear in jive with what the hipsters do. They have no appreciation nor enthusiasm for music.

I Know That, That Is What They Think of Me..... lol

Modern popular music is made to be disposed of for the public, which is why many songs now become much more forgotten compared to previous decades.

Does anyone know my taste in music? Because movie scores aren't really a big part of it, more other stuff.

80s?

Because if they're constantly in key with what's 'in', they'll probably never revisit songs or music they truly enjoyed.

Are they a dummy to the mainstream narrative? I think yes.

YES.

Listening to BBC Radiophonic Workshop: A Retrospective - It's great hearing some of their non-Doctor Who compositions. It's all really rather good, surprisingly.

I've played it for all genres of games and it works nicely every time.

I've been wanting to attack this one ever since it was leaked. Been sitting on it since; only ever sampled a few tracks. Official release is kinda muddy, so I want to introduce greater clarity.

And AFAIK Varese only has the European rights to this.

Listening to Doyle's Thor. You can tell they were sort of twisting his arm a bit in trying to get him to sound like Jablonsky (or someone like that).

Thor is the only Marvel score I listen to. Despite having to bow to convention, Doyle's end title is stellar.

The Winter Soldier might be my favorite Marvel score. I know it's mostly beeps and boops, but damn if it doesn't pair with the picture to a startlingly excellent degree. Great orchestration for the end credits too.
I hear Beck's Ant-Man is really good too. Maybe I should check that one out sometime.

^Winter Soldier Is One Of My Favs Aswell!
