    Well, actually I'm not wrong, the movie has been released like that in many countries.


    Yes, and in China Guardians of the Galaxy is 'Interstellar Different Commandos'.


    biggrin

    I'll see if I can find James Bond titles, they're silly too.


    Some of them are already a bit silly in english. smile


    They at least have the virtue of being the correct titles.

  3. The Golden Voyage Of Sinbad Rozsa

    This new release from Intrada is absolutely terrific, I would love a full rerecording some day but if that never happens I'll always be happy to have this release.
  4. NP: Gods of Egypt (2016) - Marco Beltrami

    This score legitimately inspires high hopes for Ben-Hur.

    I have high hopes for a Beltrami BEN-HUR too, but it's not necessarily because of this. Incidentally, the film has been totally lambasted by Norwegian critics. I haven't seen it yet, but I might do so for curiousity's sake. Strange to think I was such a big fan of Proyas once upon a time....

    GREMLINS 2 : THE NEW BATCH

    bounce bounce bounce bounce bounce

    This is a necessary expansion for every Goldsmith fan because it contains at least twice the fun that the 1990 album had. A prime example how much of a creative genius the man really was.

    Get this disc before all 3000 copies are gone!

    bounce bounce bounce bounce bounce






    I emphasized this post because I would hate someone to not see it and miss out on this most excellent release. 200 % fun guaranteed.

    Happy to report that usually (with a few exceptions) the Polish translations of Bond titles are pretty good. Yes, Die Another Day is the one mentioned, but I'd like to point out these:

    From Russia with Love - From Moscow with Love/Greetings from Moscow;
    Thunderball - Operation Thunder
    The Living Daylights - In the Face of Death

    Steven is right on the money with the Japanese title for You Only Live Twice, but my other favorite is the Finnish title for For Your Eyes Only:

    Roger Moore in VERY CONFIDENTIAL.

    That sold many tickets for sure.

  9. Oh, well, German titles of English language films ... slant

    - Finding Neverland: When Dreams Learn to Fly
    - Alien: Alien The terrifying Thing From Another World
    - Evil Dead: Dance of the Devils
    - The Good, the Bad and the Ugly: Two (sic) Glorious Scoundrels
    - Live Free or Die Hard: Die Slowly
    - About a Boy: The Day of the Dead Duck
    - Logan's Run: Flight to the 23rd Century

    Surely languages are not so divided as to translate titles so badly? Why does this happen I wonder? uhm

    Really? I hated that! The last time I can remember being so violently jarred out of the film by a musical choice is when the Nazgul theme appeared in The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey. At least this one wasn't thematically inappropriate, but still - I found the obvious needledrop to be distracting in the extreme.


    Didn't bother me. Abrams and Williams could've done much, much worse. And in the prequels Williams and Lucas did do worse. See Howard Shore's LOTR seduction theme in Revenge of the Sith. smile

    Revisiting JNH scores from the early 2000s that I haven't listened to in ages. Love the gremliny violin.
  12. Sometimes English titles don't easily translate into German. One reason is that German needs more words to express the same thing. Take any multi language manual: The German text will be about one third longer than the English counterpart.
    That does not excuse coming up with dump titles that sometimes downright contradict what the film is about. In many cases I would wish for the original Title to be used, but then the average German's English isn't very good.

    I always assumed this happened on purpose and was meant as a nod toward the other franchise and from one composer to the other. After all LoR has been a main inspiration for Star Wars. And when the theme is hinted at to describe the lure of evil, the heritage is particularly evident. I love that cue.

    In Nerdsville, yes. But in reality, this rarely happens.

    The Star Trek Episode II: The Wrath of The Khan James Horner

    Cuts through awful pop music like a samurai sword.
  16. What Horner does with the Spock music toward the end of the score and over the end credits is some of my favorite work of his.

    • CommentTimeMar 31st 2016
    It's nothing short of brilliant. Essentially three themes (barring the original Trek theme), two of which make up the main narrative of the music. It's a simple idea to play the bad guy's theme when the bad guy is on screen doing bad things (and vice versa) but takes great skill to do what Horner did with that relatively simple idea. It's a lesson in basic film scoring.

    Hunting The Wolves & Return to the Wild James Horner

    I rarely listen to the album, but this edited version of the two tracks gets a lot of listens. An incredible piece (or pieces) of music to go out on. The highlight is the relatively brief action moment in Hunting The Wolves. That's action scoring that very few composers could achieve.

    By coincidence, I'm listening to the whole album (which to be honest is the only way I can imagine ever listening to this exceptional score - amazed you're not more enthusiastic).

    WOLF TOTEM is not a "wow" score like many other Horners are, but it was great nonetheless -- easily in the Top 10 of last year.

    Wolf Totem is also one I initially liked, but on subsequent listens left me a bit uninterested except for 3-4 tracks.

    Of his final works I'd rather hear the longer but much more satisfying 'For Greater Glory'.
