STOP FEEDING THE TROLL!! Thank you.
Lol!
Does dissing dinos count as trolling?

If you are a male and are not obsessed with dinos you must have had an unhappy childhood.

A troll is someone who flippantly says something glib or snarky solely to mawkishly provoke without any substantive reasoning to detail precisely why.
So is that me, or is it the single sentence silencers?
I don't burrow from underneath and sneakily sabotage a conversation, I explain myself thoroughly and allow the conversation to become more interesting.
This thread did not get hijacked by my contributions to it. I eluded to a disgraceful fact about Mr. Giacchino in an original post only tangentially related to the particulars of that crime, and was specifically asked to expand upon that reference. Then came the apologists trying to pretend plagiarism is not present - or worse - to defend it as not a major transgression. Well I contend it is abhorrently unethical, especially to place yourself as a front runner (and eventual recipient) for ORIGINAL writing awards contention whilst cribbing from one of your own contemporaries. I do take strong issue with anyone unwilling to draw a line and deem such behavior deplorable, simply because they want to keep a mascot's memory rather than accept the tasks of integrity.
Every discussion does not exist to cater to the ill informed's comfortable misconceptions. If someone wants to dispute my assertions then I am perfectly ready to state my case, as well as welcome a better avenue of thought than my own. Intellectual conflict is how resolutions are forged, and is a healthy and valuable thing as log as it is measured with tact and composed with thought. I trolled no one, so don't besmirch me with a slogan when have been generous enough to share and engage.
Would it really be a better discussion board if I just wrote "Giacchino is GOD" and left it at that?

Dinosaurs. I never did get it and still don't. Dinosaurs are quite an Industry aren't they? You freaks keep shelling out money hand over fist for crap like this. It's quite disgusting frankly. Giacchino and dinosaurs- a match made in nerd heaven. Yikes! What shite!

I doubt that it would actually, because the topic is very boring.
Why? Because Giacchino's score for "Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom" is boring. Unmemorable and unexciting. I sat in the theater wishing I could at least have John William's great Lost World theme to stir something up if they filmmakers here are just going to inelegantly rehash that film's already flawed script anyway. Obviously I do have an issue with Giacchino, but I want him to be good. He has been. I love his "Lost" music and "John Carter". He's a talented craftsman, I just don't think he's much of an artist. Immediately following JW:FK I had the pleasue of viewing "Incredibles 2" and Giacchino's Barryism pastiche was on point there and very enjoyable there. But Pixar's triumphs are off topic too. So in conclusion this Jurassic score was inert. It made me feel nothing. It had no resonance to reverberate in my conscience. Also the film itself was a chore to sit through and I felt embarrassed to have subjected myself to its inanities.

You of course are the sole judge of that, hence your executive decision to derail this thread into your near fanatic crusade against Giacchino's Up score, which you really should continue here if you really feel so inclined: http://filmscoremonthly.com/board/posts.cfm?threadID=59526&forumID=1&archive=0
But hey, at least we're back on-topic now.

I don't know if you're a troll but it's a sure bet you sent Giacchino a love letter and he didn't respond.
The first part is meaningless. I simply had a whim that I might enjoy to engage with people of similar interest, seeing as film score aficionados aren't so prevelant. True I've commented here for only a couple of days, although I subscribed to the original version of this FSM magazine for decades starting when I was around 12 years old, and I've so far been hard pressed to read anyone on these boards with much worth saying - yet graciously I've responded anyway in the best attitude of optimism a malcontent can muster.
Know me by my fruits. I answer you, and I don't clown around about it. If you're lagging behind, it's really not my issue to resolve.
The last part about a love letter is not particularly clever, but it is ridiculously disingenuous and hypocritical, as you are concocting strawman distractions to troll me rather than actually challenge anything I've written.

I just find it curious that I am labeled a crusading fanatic because I won't coddle actual fanatics by backing down from a true fact.
But yes, we're on topic. Did Giacchino's "Fallen Kingdom" score move you? And why or why not?

Is this always how you engage people in conversation? Lol.
I enjoyed the score well enough in the film. It wasn't at the fore of my concentration to be honest with everything else going on in the movie, but there were moments of promise I look forward to exploring more closely when I receive my CD in the mail.

Yes, it is. I suppose we live in different worlds. My world involves the pleasures of a robust argument.
Did you enjoy the film itself? Did it grow on you, or wear on you?
I honestly can say the score was very lackluster to me, and I am quite surprised Giacchino didn't even seem to attempt to be strongly thematic in a series sonically established by the king of memorable themes himself, John Williams.
Not that it would have saved the movie. I mean, sincerely - no spoilers - but it was illogical way past the point of suspension of disbelief. But I've been known to listen to plenty of gorgeous scores from insipid films. And I don't hate Giacchino, I'm just disappointed in him, because in all honesty I was one of the early advocates proclaiming Giacchino as "the future" a good 17 years ago - and now I am sort of not so thrilled to be proven right. Same goes for Brian Tyler.

You may not find us worth engaging in, but you certainly love hearing yourself talk. Sarcasm, it's a difficult concept.

Sarcasm is a useless tool of cowards and incompetants.

Genuinely, I'm not trying to be provocative. But all the time I wasted watching "Fallen Kingdom" I would find myself periodically imagining a theoretical David Arnold score that would satisfy. And I kept wanting John Williams' theme from "The Lost World" to make an appearance, of course - because this movie was such a lazy rehash of that one, which itself was not exactly great but had the virtue of brilliant set-pieces designed by the greatest filmmaker of our time. No such luck here. But I will admit the roaming singularly shot underwater sequence gave me a moment of exhilaration. I had some fair expectation based on director J. A. Bayona, who amongst other things masterfully helmed the excellent tsunami drama "The Impossible" . Christ Pratt is charismatic at least. I could live without ever seeing Brice Dallas Howard in another film ever again, because not only do I not find her acting strong, but she sort of turns me off on a primal level. But Giacchino - the guy that kept "Lost" interesting long after it stopping being so - he might have saved the fumble, but instead he just tripped and fell.
