STEVE JABLONSKY

*sigh*
How dare anyone like a score that the MT gods have deemed unworthy!
It seems kind of hypocritical for you guys to ban people like Sunil and then go and laugh together at jokes that are, while less extreme in degree, of similar heartless-sounding spirit...

This is weird, everybody jokes and teases each other around here, i don't see any insults or anything flying in here around our current members' circle though; what does this have to do with a fucktard like Sunil?

Martijn, behave yourself. That one was nasty!

Thor, although the 'haters' thingy reminded me of the whole Bieliebers vs bieber haters, still i'll tell you that i did like Springbreakers. As i do like the whole body of Martinez's work; but you keep comparing PAIN AND GAIN to Martinez, what does it have to do with the later's work? 'cause they both have synthy bling blongs in it?

Uhm, no. But there are many stylistic similarities between the two.

Now THAT's the Thor we know and love.

He, he...yeah, that would seem unlikely. They're very far apart.

So far I've had the same experience with this genre. It's quite honestly the first style of music I've encountered that I literally cannot stand. Pretty much everything else I can tolerate if it's well done but there's just something about dubstep, no matter how "good", that makes me grind my teeth. I'm a little concerned, actually, because thus far there's been no style that I've had such a sweeping dislike for. I guess this is the moment when I start becoming a closed-minded cranky old man.

Mat, that's ridiculous.

For one (and to make this VERY clear): Sunil was banned for calling Erik a racist.
Secondly: I cannot believe that you can possibly, by ANY stretch of the imagination, be serious about comparing tinnitus to cancer in the realm of "debilitating medical conditions'. Honestly, Matt. If you're serious about that, I am, for once, lost for words.
Thirdly: I appreciate you trying to defend Sunil, but you're putting words in his mouth and thoughts in his head. He knew what he was saying as he was called on it, several times. But by all means don't take my word for it: go back and find that thread to see for yourself.

Thor have you heard TRAPANESE's Tron?

So, no I have listened to bits of it on YouTube. It's on the same level as 80s arcade games music.

It is, yes.

I'm sorry. I'm having a horrendous day and seeing people being mocked (which apparently I misinterpreted) pushes my buttons.

Goodness knows what people are listening to when they describe Pain & Gain in the negative terms that I've been reading over the last few days.

Never likely to see this film (have many of us who have been commenting on Jablonsky's score?) I can only assess it from listening to it. There's a certain vibe to tracks such as "Sun Gym", "Definitely Guys", "Run Him Over" and 3-4 others that stand out immediately as interesting and enjoyable tracks. And it all amounts to about 20 minutes of good stuff.

There's a good number of composers who, once people have got their talons firmly attached for producing music that doesn't quite reaches their expectation, just won't let go.

I am always being told that my standards are pretty low - particularly by my children. This must be another example of this because I just can't see the almost universal beating that Jablonsky seems to be being given.

"But then that's what makes this such an interesting pursuit, film music: everyone's opinions are different."
