If God were to exist, he'd find a flaw. (You know, apart from disease, war, crime, birth deformities, pedophilia and all the rest of it.)
And then that non-existent God might say: "Oh, so you'd rather be a moralistic robot among robots with no ability to make your own mistakes, learn from them, protected from the possibility that you might stuff it all up. Sorry, you guys talk about freedom and choice so much I thought I'd leave a few things in your capable hands."
Yeah, you could be right! The same non-existent God might then have a crisis of confidence and ask Herself why She lets so many atrocities such as child rape and murder happen just so that those very same animals can learn their own morals for a seemingly pointless end game relative to the evil so malevolently carried out? She might even ask Herself why She is so worthy of worship if either She is unable to prevent such evil, or perhaps doesn't care? She might even go as far to respect those who see that such a being as Herself is not a particularly worthy being to put any kind of faith in and favour the non-believers for using logic, reason and the intelligence that She herself bestowed upon them? You never know! -

It seemed rather Morricone quirky to me. (Indeed, there is one theme that is such a Morricone tribute, it made me laugh to hear it.) With a hint of that quirky feel Mark Mothersbaugh did for other Wes Anderson films.
Oh-oh........you said the forbidden name for me. As much as i've tried, i've never been able to listen to Mark Mothersbaugh's music....at all. Can't stand it, at least the few stuff that i've tried digesting.
Me too I'm afraid. Does nothing for me at all.On Friday I ate a lot of dust and appeared orange near the end of the day ~ Bregt -

Ah, they always go to child rape. Like homing pigeons! Or a high school debating team out for blood.

NP:Golden Compass (Desplat)
Sublime.
(but give me another composer for fantasy scores, though)
'Sublime' doesn't go with your next sentence.
Yes, it goes. The real question is if you can understand it. I will put easier for you:
The Dark Knight (movie) is excelent, but give me Spiderman 2 (movie) any day.
NP:Hellboy II (Elfman)
for the golden army theme.
I really enjooooooooooooooooooooy this Elfman as much as I enjoyed Wanted.
Elfman redimed himself with this two scores. -

Rent-A-Cop (Jerry Goldsmith)
Such a quirky and fun little score from The Magic Man. The theme is another to put inside the 'Goldsmith Hall of Themes'. And I adore 80s Gremlins 2 style action music. I wasn't even familiar with the music nor the film, luckily somebody made me notice this."considering I've seen an enormous debate here about The Amazing Spider-Man and the ones who love it, and the ones who hate it, I feel myself obliged to say: TASTE DIFFERS, DEAL WITH IT" - Thomas G. -

NP: THE FIVE MAN ARMY.... Morricone I'm debating about doing a review on this one or not. The theme is great but there isn't a lot else. Perhaps I'm missing it and I'll continue to listen.

I read the comments that our resident Morricone expert had to say (Peter) and I'll do just that. The theme is so addicting!!!!

I'm in a slightly more jovial mood this evening so am enjoying this much more. Though if I had just downloaded the Morricone bits, I think I'd have all I really need. -

Agreed. That and the Majorette are the best parts. I love the way both composers (Morricone and Desplat) use syncopation to make things so darn catchy.A butterfly thinks therefore I am -

JAMES HORNER - house of cards
A classic case of "don't judge the book by its cover". Surprisingly emotional, lyrical at places, melancholic and beautiful, this soothing listening experience is a must for Horner followers and lovers of good thematic music as well.Love Maintitles. It's full of Wanders. -

Are you only talking about living ones? There are some dead ones I'd add to the list.
