Thanks for the recommendations.
I'm enjoying Grand Budapest Hotel a lot! So much fun.
And I think The Imitation Game is really good. I also want to see the movie soon. -

It's very subtle. which in film music lingo is a codeword for "dull"
Really? Thats news to me. I'm aware of countless "subtle" scores that work great, especially in non-action films. But even in thrillers it can be a fine stylistic device. I don't like to see film music limited to smashing brass and drums on the level of Prussian military march music.
VolkerBach's music is vibrant and inspired. -

I was being facetious. It's often a codeword for dull. At least in my opinion. Then again, I'm something of an anti-Thor when it comes to bombast.

I then appear to represent the Aristotelian balanced middle here.Bach's music is vibrant and inspired. -

Possibly. But rather I ment a healthy mixture of "subtle" and bombast scores. "Subdued" might be the better word anyway. The middle between Thor and Edmund. Wait, that sounds odd.

Agreed, but given the scenario and look of the film here, I don't think the comparison is that farfetched. In fact, Anderson has frequently gone on record to state his admiration for -- and influence by -- the great director.I am extremely serious. -

I didn't realise that. And truly it does surprise me. (Their intentions being so different in their work.)
I guess one thing they have in common is that a lot of people don't get their sense of humour. (Perhaps even less in Kubrick's case.)A butterfly thinks therefore I am -

Enjoying both scores for a couple of says now. Grand Budapest Hotel and The Imitation Game.
I think The Imitation Game is brilliant. This morning I listened with my headphones for the first time and it was even better than it already was. I wanted to cry out how good it is, then I felt very lonely and then I remembered I do have you all here.

To be fair there is so few females around on film music forums that it's fair to give the ladies a bit more attention.On Friday I ate a lot of dust and appeared orange near the end of the day ~ Bregt -

And thanks Ralph.
I remember we had a discussion long ago about why there are so few women on the board. Do they not listen to filmmusic or do they not spend time on internet communities...? Recently on the radio I heard too that women buy much less music than men in general (the item was about vinyl records). I really don't know why that is, but it's interesting anyway. -

Well, in general the internet can be a pretty toxic place for women...which is sad and makes me hate my gender. At least in the film music community we are generally above such things...I've never heard anyone talk about fake soundtrack girls / women
But of course there is no reason why anyone would be only pretending to be a soundtrack fan at all. I love you all. Never change. Well, unless you want to! -

There are a number of women that post at FSM but they are a tiny minority compared to the male traffic passing at that board.
As far as I know I only have one female friend who has anything film music related and even that wasn't a soundtrack, John Barry's The Beyondness of Things.On Friday I ate a lot of dust and appeared orange near the end of the day ~ Bregt -

According to an FSM post, Desplat confirmed on French radio today that he will be scoring Star Wars: Rogue One (released next year, in between episodes 7 and 8). -

To be fair, I'm going to keep the door just a TINY little bit open -- just in the extremely unlikely event it will surprise in a positive way. I just find that I'm disliking Desplat more and more as the years go by; and my dislike is fuelled even more by people getting upset that I dislike him so.I am extremely serious. -
