[Closed] Now Playing - Part XXI

Because nothing it's comparable to discover for the first time a tune ( or a feeling, wich is what it is).

and Because of the surprise.

Agree with that statement.

But I can't fee the same now than when I heard Crimson tide tune for the first time.

Yep, and I totally agree with that, too. I can only speak of my personal experience, but what I'm saying isn't that a first listen is necessarily better than the second or third, etc. Only that they're just two different experiences. Both make me feel euphoric, and both remind me why I'm so interested in film scores, but both make me feel so for different reasons.

Anyway,
NP: Rambo III — Jerry Goldsmith

Looks like you guys have put me in the mood

Spiderwick is not the only wich proof that....Horner's creativity finished long time ago....i mean looooooooong time ago.

Sorry.It's my opinion. It doesn't mean he has in his pocket the most important and memorable scores from the 3 decades.

Anyway...Im enjoying Spiderwicks. I find is his back to his 80's sound, and it's really , really welcomed!!!!


"flight to the griffin" and "fight for Chronicles" are so dissonant, agressive and magic that really reminds me how good he used to be.

Yep! Great film and great score!

A shame Alec Baldwin didn't remain for successive films.

Sometimes, Nautilus, you're really really annoying.... and yes it's your opinion but still.

Yeah, An impressive ,complex and mature Fantasy Score.

I was Playing:SpiderWick Chronicles.

After 3 listens, I have to say im really happy to listen Horner in this territory again. Darker and more dense.

You can't expect the fanfarres or the majestous themes from Willow or Krull, but it's still a come back to the peak of his career.

Really Impressed! (but..What about a 50 minutes realease?)

NP:Throne Room from Star Wars and A new Hope and end Credits

Hear the Force theme in his march variation , and the emotive leia's theme is an authentic musical orgasm.

Did you guy know that Harrison Ford was originally asked to play Ryan in Hunt For Red October but said no because he thought no one would want to see a submarine movie. So, when Baldwin turned down Patriot Games the producers asked Ford again.

Sometimes a first listen is a spectacular experience, sometimes it is the discovery of themes and layers after months of listening. I love them both, but the biggest goosebumps I usually get from listening to a beautiful theme for the first time. I experienced that a lot of times, some of the more recently were:

The Lady in the Water (listening to the first snippets)
Transformers (in theatre, especially during the Autobots´ arrival on Earth)
The Golden Compass (in theatre, while hearing the beautiful theme during that big battle scene)
Beowulf (The Hero Comes Home Theme, played first in that youtube video from that spanish concert)

Agreed!

I like Ford though.

Affeck is so.....????.......BLAND!

Yeah; Bennifer sucks

Well, I don't like Apocalypto myself.

I wouldn't call The New World too sugary, especially in Horner's standards. All the King's Men is a bit too heavy for me, but it's one of his better efforts recently.

I just think you are brutally honest about each and every flim of emotion you have, how interchangable they may be and come. You express what you think is an opinion, but most of the time it is just an assumption based on carelessly build thoughts. I have the impression that you listen to scores in exactly the same way how you read texts - very fast, without really "getting" the information. This is why you, for example, continuously write score and track titles wrong, or change your opinion about something every other day, or have to write in big letters, because you think no one will see or even read the small ones.

But this is not the case, Jordi. We read each and everything you write, regardless of size, colour, content, or level of pain. I don´t write this to annoy you, just to show you how some of us feel.

Personally, I don´t care. I remind you of correct titles sometimes, if it gets too annoying or carries danger of mistakes. Sometimes I make jokes of you without really laughing at you, if you get what I mean. I sense that you can take them as a man, and that´s why I keep doing them, not to annoy you.

I like your honesty, your very outwardly shown nature and emotions, but it gets a bit harsh sometimes. You are a funny and likeable person. But sometimes you just seem to have been hit by a constitution class starship.
