Hey Ford...we've had to endure all the 'I hate Ford' threads man...you
can hang for a bit on this one. ;-p I've often wondered why people who
can't hang with off-topic rants and flame wars don't just join an
egroups or other mailing list that's moderated. You get more traffic,
it's comprised of boring soundtrack intellectuals who say the same thing
over and over "oh man this score is great!" and you don't get to see the
childish bickering you see on usenet. Hrmph! Now back to the
fight....BTW, what the hell were we all ripping each other up over
again? I forgot. ;-D

Maybe they should choose a Gay composer for this one... at least a gay Nazi
composer... god KNOWS there are loads of them lounging around... Hey, Bob!
Any of your models fit this description? What about Atraiel? She must
certainly know some in her vast group of gay friends?
Personally, I'd rather see an extreme right-wing, republican, heterosexual,

Nah. They'd just download a score of Napster instead of composing their own.

Yeah, and let's guess which movie score that he's already done that he could
rip off for the film about gay nazis - hmmmmm, "The Rocketeer"? Somehow
"Titanic" doesn't seem to fit. Maybe the vocals from "Apollo 13" will show
up? Or maybe he'll do something he's never done before, and rip off someone
else's score! But who would he get in to play the violin themes from
"Schindler's List"?

Fair takes the wind out of their sails, it does.
On a "will James Horner rip off John Williams" note, I'm wondering what JH
will come up with for Jurassic Park 3. Will he do a Ken Thorne/Alexander
Courage Superman-type score which borrows heavily from Williams' music, or
will he entirely ignore the earlier material as he did with Star Trek?
Personally I'd like it if he at least carried over the main Jurassic Park
theme for a few cues as John Williams did in The Lost World, but with the
rest of the score being very different. At least here is an opportunity for
a classic, big-orchestra James Horner score as opposed to the
vocal-synth-Celtic bollocks of Titanic.
I wonder if Celine Dion is available to do the title song "The Franchise
Will Go On"
John Williams has a pretty good record on sequels, really. The Empire
Strikes Back, Temple Of Doom, Lost World, I read in another thread Jaws 2 is
also very good, I'll have to check it out. I seem to recall he wrote a lot
of the thematic material for the Superman sequels too, particularly the
otherwise-awful Superman IV. I only saw the movie once but I recall really
liking the music...

He WILL use the main themes. And that's official! (Last time I checked,
anyway)
I hope he goes for a style similar to the first score. To sort of "complete
the circle", if you know what I mean.

Superman IV is in fact an Alexander Courage score, with many of the themes
written by supposedly written by Williams. Someone has started a Superman IV
re-release campaign somewhere on the net. I signed the petition. Don't

I enjoy reading the posts on this board, and no doubt Horner is more
successful than I am, he's at least 20 years older than me. But that aside,
the tone of the thread to which I replied was that of gentle humour, and I
couldn't help but add my little moment of Horner-bashing (which I see
surprisingly little of here, perhaps it's a long-dead phenomenon) Anyway, I
don't have the time (or inclination) to start sending "childishly scolding"
posts back and forth. So just lay off, please. I'm new here anyway.

Don't mind Tass, he's the group's most vocal Horner fan and has suffered
much taunting as a result. Frankly he's a prince among men, as most people
on this group are.
In the short time I've been posting here, I'm constantly impressed with just
how darn nice regulars of this group are to each other compared to the
endless flame wars on virtually every other group I've lurked in. We even
disagree politely, just don't mention Napster 8¬)

Actually, I've only heard 5 minutes from Jaws 2 on a compilation. I'm also
planning on buying the score. It sounds really GRAND. Much more melodic than
its predecessor.

I knew you would. This music is some of the most fun to listen to. The last
few tracks containing the battle cues in particular are great, and very
heroic-sounding (right up MY alley). And how can I forget "March Of The Dead"?

yesterday I bought the Braveheart score! And I am loving it! I haven't
actually heard much from that score apart from whithin the context of the
film, but it is a GREAT score mesa thinks.

The three last tracks of the CD are STUNNING. The music is so breathtakingly
beautiful that it hurts, there's something genuinely heroic about it all. It
creates tears of joy! It's almost exhausting to listen to it! A Horner
CLASSIC, almost as good as "Legends of the Fall"

Jaq, Jaq, Jaq-in-the box, first maligning Blade Runner and now

Don't forget, I didn't like "Powder" either.
As for the baseball bat, do what you will. I own a seven-foot oaken staff which
would shatter your bat unto Tiny Bits. And then where would you be? Ha!!!
I do love "Legends of the Fall", though. But "Braveheart" squeaks by, probably
because Uillean Pipes are a fave of mine, and I don't recall any Shakuhachi
crap in "Braveheart".
BTW, what ever happened to Julia Ormond? For a while there she was the hottest
thing, and now she appears to have vanished entirely.

Jaquandor
Let's see, I remember three films she was in: "Legends...", "First Knight", and
"Sabrina". The only one of these that was a really big hit was "Legends", which
is attributable to Brad Pitt. I suspect that given three films in such a short
time that weren't huge, producers simply ignored her after that. (Rather like
TV networks that cancel shows for bad ratings after three episodes air.)

Well, I could strive for a higher level of poetics, thusly: "Bladerunner is a

about my dislike for the film to describe it so. In fact, "dislike" itself may

Hmmmm. I am reminded of the Halloween episode of "The Simpsons" where Bart
discovers that his evil twin is being kept locked in the attic, and it later
turns out that what is locked in the attic is actually the GOOD twin, and Bart
is the evil one. Surely something similar applies here? Hmmmmm.

I grant that the visuals are fantastic, but my favorite films in terms of sheer
visual impact are "Close Encounters" and "The Last of the Mohicans". I've
rarely seen a film that conveys such a sense of vast, untamed wilderness as the
latter.

It wasn't such a good title for a book, either. The author tried to convey a
sense of winter hopelessness, and he succeeded only too well, creating a book
that is glacially dull.

"Wired" magazine had an article a few issues back about people who establish

I do think Norwegians are a weird bunch, but I think that Americans are utterly

Smilla's Feeling For Snow sounded interesting, and the Tunguska fireball at
the beginning was well done.
The bit where I lost interest was when the medical examiner says something
like: "you pick up a lot of tricks in this job. I shone a lightbulb in his
trousers..."
It may be a legitimate forensic technique, but it's a dumb line and kills
the movie dead.

Not me.
I'm waiting for a proper special edition, hopefully with the documentary
Channel 4 (UK) screened earlier this year.
The forthcoming box set (bunging a bunch of previously-available books, CDs
and movies in a box, adding a couple of frames of film and giving it a
collectable number does not a special edition make) is a prime example of
Money for Old Rope.
The first DVD I got the day I bought the machine was Out Of Sight, because
it was about the only disc worth buying in HMV Harrow. The first DVD I
bought on-line was the R1 version of The Iron Giant.
Was that enough ammunition? OK, I'll add a bit more.
I love Star Wars and I'm 27.
I have watched several Steven Seagal movies, and even enjoyed a couple of
them.
Steven Spielberg is a hero of mine.
I think John Williams is the world's greatest living composer.
As a general rule, very few movies made before 1977 move me, with some
notable exceptions.
I think Gone With The Wind sucks harder than any movie ever made, except
Robert Altman's Short Cuts.
What, you still need more? OK...
I have enjoyed many summer popcorn movies. I thought Godzilla was a riot.
I think David Arnold is a promising new composer, I loved his James Bond
scores.
While I'm on the subject, I think Roger Moore is the best James Bond.
I thought The Mummy (the film and the score) were very enjoyable.
My collection of classical music is of the "I don't know about art, but I
know what I like" variety, I'm sure that the intelligentsia would find it
deeply uncool.
I use words like "uncool".
I look forward to a superior, withering response. Feel free to call my
intellect and sanity into question.

This is what I'M asking!! What is this "ficticious" talk I hear? You must not
be aware that Scandinavia and Scotland are connected by a stretch of land.
This is where we Knights of the Golden Doorknob reside, with a capital base

are unaware because Sir Hakestad has placed an illusion spell over the entire

You end your posts with Raimi-concocted, Bruce Campbell catch phrases. That

I use words.
By the way, Roger Moore WAS pretty cool. And I have the Mummy both on DVD

Planets" is my favourite.

He managed to call me insane (or twelve) just because I liked Star Wars
better than Blade Runner. Little did he know how right he was (about the
"insane" part)
BWAHAHAHAHHAAHAHHAHA!

I love the Mummy. Excellent jokes, and it reminds me of Indiana Jones,
although it is no way near as good as "Raiders"

My first ever post here, he told me off for not liking any movies without
spaceships and aliens.
I still like him though, the group would be a much duller place if he wasn't
here.
I love many movies without spaceships and aliens btw.

He's probably given me that treatment at one point or another, as well.

can be interpreted as insults, especially by newcomers to rec.music.movies.

Me too. But, being a Star Wars fan AND a Star Trek fan, I always find myself
returning to that type of movies. :-)
There is absolutely NOTHING wrong with liking movies with spaceships and
aliens in them.
