    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." wink


    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.

    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)

    punk punk punk punk for the golden army theme.

    I really enjooooooooooooooooooooy this Elfman as much as I enjoyed Wanted.

    Elfman redimed himself with this two scores.
  2. 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. smile

  3. NP: The Fantastic Mr Fox (Desplat)

    Not sure I'm seeing the problem... the whistling theme is darn catchy.

    Exelent score with a few trademarks that would become more popularised later through scores like A Beautiful Mind.

    Fantastic Mr Fox - Alex D

    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.

    Rudy - Jerry Goldsmith

    Surely one of the loveliest scores ever composed.
  5. It anticipated the greatness of THE CIDER HOUSE RULES beautifully. Jerry must have been inspired by the thought of Rachel Portman's work-to-be.

    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.

    A very enjoyable score Martijn, grabbed my attention for sure. I've said before that I think Legrand, and Lalo Schifrin, are the only two film composers who truly excel in jazz scoring in film.

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