[Closed] Now Playing - Part XIV

Bregt -- You closed the previous thread just as I was posting and I want to have my say...

Guys - Time to take this shit to PM's.

Jordi - You aren't an idiot but what you said was puzzling. I'm sure you were trying to be funny but I think you fail at humor more than you succeed... or at least maybe something is lost in translation.

Steven - Ya, a bit too far with your comments. Sure, we've all felt like jumping onto a plane, travel to Spain, find Jordi and give him a swift swat upside the head for some of the things he has said but we should really keep the name calling away from the boards unless someone around here has something personally defaming to say about you. Remember, we are all on the same side. We are film music geeks and there aren't a lot of people in the world who love this stuff as much as we do. So, thank God that there are places like this to come to and chat about our favorite hobby. Sure, we don't have to agree on everything but we do agree that this form of music KICKS SERIOUS ASS!!!

Look, I'm no saint either and have gotten carried away on a few occasions but I've tried my best to 1) Ignore Jordi 2) Step away from the computer for a few minutes when someone says something totally idiotic so that I don't write something as equally idiotic in the heat of the moment only to regret it 5 minute later when I've calmed down.

Cool?

Ok... NOW PLAYING

Listen to WXOU Radio --> they are playing a John Williams tribute show. Currently playing is the Theme to Amistad!

-Erik-

Thanks Erik.


Jordi, ofcourse only when you say something moronic. It's not that you do that all day or so. You sure sparkle some discussion about non POTC things too.

I understand you Erik, but I was not trying to "burn" some people with this comment.

Just was another way to explain, I find this violin solos (In every score, from Zimmer to Williams) too intrusive. Sometimes it works, but I find in this score a little bit too much.

It's just my opinion. But we discussed about this some months ago...so no more.

I didn't say it was a bad device or approach.

I just said, I don't like very much this kind of violin solos.

I think the same in a lot of Zimmer scores , including my highly loved The Prince Of Egypt.

Sometimes are too intrusive, and looking to much for tears...too obvious.

Talking about jews...I prefer Zimmer's The Last Days or Goldsmith's Masada.

[edit]

JORDI, please, leave all the comments that have to do with races and al aside; you might not mean them as they come out but they do come out pretty nasty

Oh that would be great! All the maintitles people drunk!
(too bad we´d never agree in the where)

I already am - that's what Spanish Rioja does to me!

I've missed what's happened so I'm off to catch up!

Erik can tell you, Anthony too. Or Marselus. Just don't ask Jordi if you want the truth heheh

I have no clue as to what's going on to be honest.

Something with someone calling Jordi a name..and then I'm lost.

RIDE ON!

(or BhelPuri will kick all of our asses as usual )

Yeah, a bit of "off topic" debate this afternoon, nothing really important.

Alan,

Some things are nasty And it's best if they're forgotten as they have absolutely nothing of value to offer to anyone; not to mention that some things might also negatively backfire to some persons (Remember the Alex who's working for JNH-dude case over at scorereviews?)

I think our maintitles company here is mature enough (well at least, most of us ) NOT to need examples as such in order to think and operate as grown up, mature individuals in an online community.

Further down this line, a forum that doesn't - sometimes, in rare, extreme situations, delete posts, is essentially a forum with no moderation.

Cheers

I am GONE for SIX DAYS and THIS is what I come back to.
And NOBODY even has the proper GRACE to fill me in BEFOREHAND?

By THUNDER, people!
If you are UNABLE to behave I shall FLEX my not inconsiderable virtual (for to be honest, I should spend more time at the gym. In fact 12 hours a day might possibly see me come into any sort of acceptable shape before summer. But I digress.) muscle and have the ENTIRE SITE yanked and sold to a purveyor of DISNEY ANIMATRONICS PORN.

I hope I made my point?

NP: The Virgin Queen - The Mediæval Bæbes
Bloody HELL, this is good. Semi-Renaissance harmonics mixed with faux-Renaissance-cum-electronic instrumentation and rhythms. This is EXCELLENT stuff!

At last!! Someone else praising this score. The number of times I went on about this score hoping that people would listen to me (or at least to the clips). Martin Phipps' score is excellent from start to finish.
