Nah: we say it's rubbish now before we've heard it!
;)
:))
Not very useful either, to be fair.
Hopefully it's all Bond. Classy and bombastic in all the right places.
Not sure of that, @Murdock. :) Zimmer's music can be very theme-heavy and toying around with the Bond theme seems to be every composer's wet dream.
There are several just on the previous page..? I've got the Sherlock Holmes one stuck in my head now!
:)
Nah it's fine: it's a joke.
Are you sure? ;)
I've never liked Discombobulate from Sherlock Holmes. I think it's annoying and tinny. The Interstellar score never did anything for me either. Zimmer just isn't my cup of tea.
Well as you might say, other posters enjoyed it so you must be wrong ;)
But you said you'd never heard or remembered one with a theme? How could you know you've never liked Discombobulate if you couldn't remember it? Or were you being hyperbolic?
It's fine if you don't like it: we all like different stuff. I wouldn't honestly put any of his scores in my list of personal favourites (much like Roger is my favourite Bond, but I can see how Sean is probably the best), but I respect his ability and mastery of the form.
My favourite Zimmer's are mostly from the mid to late 90s. I've big love for Broken Arrow and The Peacemaker, especially.
I understand people aren't fans of his more recent stuff, as it can become very samey. But, I personally enjoy a lot of it, even if I never listened to it and thought "this guy has to do Bond one day!"
Ha! I don't think I'd be saying that in this case. Humor isn't a case of simple rights and wrongs! But I won't cry about it. ;)
You really ought to catch THE ROCK sometime.
But Zimmer did compose the Main Theme for Pirates, as far as I'm aware. He just didn't do the bulk of the score.
I do remember the action theme in that being slightly annoying as it seemed to pop up constantly! :D A long time since I watched it though: I suspect the whole film has dated quite a bit!
Be careful what you wish for!
And it'd have to go some to have less than David Arnold's Casino Royale.
Oh don't worry my expectations that this score are beyond low. I'm not expecting much of anything.
This was pretty fantastic live, too.
Fair enough, that was my general attitude towards the Bond scores up to 2008.
I know, but the music he's made in the…what…last 15 years or so doesn't resonate with me. It's just bombastic noise.
Oh gosh: I'd forgotten that one. I didn't realise I'd remember it!
I mean, it just isn't though. Just being objective, whether you or I like it or not, it isn't that. Presumably you like the Bond films, and if someone dismissed them as being just witless, artless hokum with no value whatsoever and art of knowledge of the medium- just 'noise', we know they'd be objectively wrong. They're allowed not to like them, of course they are, but the films are not without some art or wit or technical high quality.
