I agree that John Williams' work will be recognized and revered long after he is gone. 30 years isn't the longest time, but Star Wars is just as strong now as it was then, and his music is undoubtedly and undeniably a huge factor in that. Superman is still going strong, and his theme still merits some awe and fanboy-giddiness whenever you hear it. Jaws' theme is one of the most used pieces of music in pop culture out there; too many TV shows and movies to list use that as a gag for the approach of someone or something goofy. I'm not going to pretend I know more than any of you guys about music; I know very, very little. I have no idea how to play any of it, which instruments do what, anything. I never listen to Beethoven or Mozart, and I don't really intend to. I have, and I can say that I prefer the music that I do listen to, such as Williams, Elfman, Zimmer and Shore. I don't really care how commercial it is, or that its from a movie. As far as I'm concerned, great music is great music, and shouldn't be measured by its usage, origins, or who or when it came from. Thats just my late-night rambling, so if any of it makes no sense... don't be surprised. ...like at all. |

I wasn't sure where exactly to put this, and this thread seemed as good a place as any: [size=7]I JUST GOT THE RETURN OF THE KING COMPLETE RECORDINGS!!![/size]  It is sooo much better than the crappy single-disc release from 2003. All three 'Complete Recordings' sets total up to nearly 10 hours! THAT is how film scores should be; all of the music thats in the movie, and if they want other suites and stuff, have them as extras, not as the soundtrack. Oh, and also, if someone can edit Alan Silvestri's thing to include the "Beowulf" score, that'd be cool. That movie had really great music, in my opinion. Very distinctive themes, very cool. And if you do that, could you fix the word 'Memoirs' in the John Williams thing too?

oh you're not the only one. :] My reasons are simple, and since everyone else has stolen my words, here I go: 1) Danny Elfman's score = godly. plus he works with tim burton 75-99% of the time. perfect matchup really. 2) John Williams = classic. star wars, HP 1-3, and several other mentionables. he's been down in the history books for movie score. 3) Hans Zimmer = the master of keeping the main theme but adding more to make it better. From what I hear, Zimmer trained Badelt. Badelt's score for pirates 1 was complete genius, and Zimmer's Pirates 2 and 3 are just more genius. He kept the main "He's A Pirate" theme, and then added "Davy Jones" in as a 2nd theme. perfection. :] |
