Stuck in my head!
Added 2021-11-04 18:26:46 +0000 UTCToday on bad film scores stuck in my head....it's "Davy Jones" from the Dead Man's Chest soundtrack. I have no idea why. I once was a dancer, and some other dancers I knew used the piece to perform. But that was 15 years ago. I hated it then and I hate it now. XD Same Hans Zimmer shit....trying to be enchanting and haunting...but it's the most basic, cookie-cutter, minor-chord melody that feels heavy and depressing as it becomes more and more overwrought. It's like a second-rate Danny Elfman track. Weird because...I rarely get Zimmer in my head. What about you guys? I hope you have something lovely like a Jerry Goldsmith score in your head instead to make me jealous. XD

I've heard rumor that Paramount Plus will begin streaming The Motion Picture Director's Cut (released on DVD in 2001) in January. This version, although a little longer, is a much better film as Robert Wise took the time to cut it how he wanted. The '79 version was so rushed that the print was still drying on way to the premier (where W. Shatner fell asleep during the showing). It was a nightmare shoot to begin with, the most expensive movie to produce at the time.

2021-11-09 02:35:38 +0000 UTCSome do, but overall they do tend to be either uninspired, or minimalistic in tone.

2021-11-09 02:35:06 +0000 UTCGoood choice! I always felt the original film was a major slog, yet aesthetically it got a lot of things right in a way the other films didnt. And the music for sure by Goldsmith is a great example of that.

2021-11-09 02:34:22 +0000 UTCI still haven't heard it, but I'm excited to!

2021-11-09 02:33:05 +0000 UTCI'm digging the new Jonny Greenwood score from Spencer. I don't really care about the royals but any excuse for Greenwood to make new music is a gift I'll take.

2021-11-07 20:01:05 +0000 UTCIllia's Theme from Star Trek The Motion Picture (composed by J Goldsmith) frequently goes through my head. Such a lovely piece.

2021-11-05 22:14:16 +0000 UTCI've had La La Land's soundtrack burned into my brain since I first saw it, particularly Mia and Sebastian's Theme and Another Day of Sun. Never gets old.

2021-11-04 23:02:34 +0000 UTCThat's the last Pirates movie I saw. Haven't seen any since, didn't seem to make much sense, haha. But i also saw it with a huge grouo of people who all dressed up, and made a ton of noise. So, maybe I should give it another shot.

2021-11-04 19:11:37 +0000 UTCAlso, modern films don't seem to have memorable scores anymore. Or maybe I'm not paying attention.

2021-11-04 19:00:54 +0000 UTCOh man, the Animated Series theme is incredible. Conroy is still the best Batman. Keaton is the best live action Batman, so far.

2021-11-04 19:00:00 +0000 UTCDamn you! haha Real Danny Elfman! XD I'm actually not that into that theme even if it has a cool effect, though it is the best live action Batman theme by far. I'm just such a fan of the animated series theme by Shirley Walker.
