  2. I know this is still waaaaay off topic, but I'd love to take you to a Los Angeles Galaxy game at some point. It's actually a LOT of fun, and the quality of play is much better than you'd expect; and even better, the stadium isn't located in an industrial wasteland (a la Rotherham United)!

    How is Horner's score to Unlawful Entry? I saw the film the other day and was happy to see Horner's name as composer. I seem to remember it being repetitive, but I can't remember if it was good or bad.

    I always love the title of that film. Sounds like a dirty porno.
    I am extremely serious.

    It's a good interview, but it takes, like, FOREVER, to load. Can't believe it's all my connection.

    I don't really mind that. I don't he takes himself any more seriously than other composers of his calibre anyway.

    What I DO dislike are his oft-stated views on what film music is or should do. He seems to have a VERY Hollywood-minded attitude, seemingly unable to grasp the concept of less narrative-driven films and musical approaches. As such, his sweeping generalizations are a FAR cry from the academic background he purports to have. It's disappointing.

    I still love his music, though, even if he says he sees purple pigs in the morning or whatever.
    I am extremely serious.

    John Williams seems eminently more likable and charming in his interviews than Horner. So even if he does take himself as seriously (he doesn't), he does it in a far more disarming way.

    Why don't you think Williams takes himself as seriously? I think he does. I agree with Thor that all the film composers of that calibre do, they just present themselves differently.

    I don't think Williams comes off as self-important as Horner. It's glaringly obvious in these interviews that Horner is very precious about his craft. Williams doesn't give off that impression in the interviews I've seen, he seems like much more of a gentleman and eminently more charming.

    I just think of all the composers I'd want to have a beer with, Horner would be very much at the bottom of my list. (Which obviously has no bearing on how much I appreciate his music.)

    Apparantly, and I remember this from talking with the folks at Movie Boulevard, John Barry was great company after a few brews.

    I agree with that. Perhaps I misunderstood you when you said Williams doesn't take himself as seriously as Horner, because I thought you meant that. If you actually were just talking about how he comes off, then clearly there's no competition to Mr H!

    I'm sure Williams takes his composing just as seriously as Horner does (great composers have to, otherwise they wouldn't be great), but I think Horner takes the business of film scoring and movie making more seriously than others, or at least appears to. (I think it's mostly because his tone is very serious all the time. Though I have seen a couple of interviews where he's appeared a little less egotistical than usual.)

    Well, I don't have that impression AT ALL, but then again I listen to what he says rather than whatever mannerisms he has. He speaks clearly and humbly about himself and his profession, being careful not to step on any toes on the way. In this interview, anyway. In the Daniel Schweiger interview, he was more candid about his relationship to various filmmakers. And refreshingly so.

    Nope, the only thing I don't like about it is WHAT he says, re: Hollywood mindset and all that. As a person, he comes off as a professional, articulate, self-deprecating(sp.?), softspoken man, not that unlike John Williams.
    I am extremely serious.

    Try Christopher Young. Walking down the roads of Madrid in a hot summer evening in 2006 with 20 guys around him headed for booze and beer and film music talk all night led by him, was an incredible experience.

    Horner is fun to observe. Taking him (not his music which is top-notch anyway) too serious would be like falling into the same trap of what he does to himself...he thinks his 21st century's Beethoven smile

    I've always heard nothing but good concerning fans who've met Chris Young, he seems like a really sound bloke.

    From my experience with him as member of the Soncinemad organizing committee in 2006, i can tell you the man lives and breathes film music. He's a biggest and more informed fan of film music primarily, than the vast majority of film music fans out there, and he's absolutely ecstatic with what he does. Being offered his lectures on film music and the insider anecdotes on the industry and specific assignments / composers beats the hell out of any other similar speeches i ever attended. The man's a great crowd-pleaser and the level of knowledge but most importantly his personality, humour, wit and confidence are as good as his music. Horner, as a man (not talking about his music) looks and acts like a silly fanboy next to him.

    Me too, he's on my pub list. He sent me signed copies of his scores for The Core and Entrapment about 6 or 7 years ago. On the cover of Entrapment he had written:
    "I met Sean Connery on this one. He didn't have many nice things to say about John Barry." shocked
