Night Shyamalan's SPLIT - JNH Returning?    FIRST   PRIOR   1 2 3       Last Post   Posted:   Jul 3, 2018 - 5:22 PM     By:   GoblinScore   (Member) How far we've fallen... starting SPLIT and the main title....visually, could gave been an edgy JNH bit of brilliance, or ANYTHING, but this...drone- indigestion -sounding- garbage- crap- nothing this score will most likely continue to be throughout. I hope the film is better then this shite the score is pointing towards. I didnt read this thread for spoiler-anxiety, but really...not boding well... I hope I live long enough to enjoy one more round of good scoring in film. This trend is pathetic & you have to be truly psychotic to want an album of something like this. Like, mental.    Posted:   Jul 4, 2018 - 1:20 AM     By:   Lokutus   (Member) I was quite impressed by the film... the score is still crap but at least the movie is the best thing NMS has done since Signs.    Posted:   Jul 4, 2018 - 2:05 AM     By:   GoblinScore   (Member) I liked the film too, definitely worth a watch, but I like The Happening as well, so my endorsement is useless.... SPOILERS: I didn't really like that in the end, SPLIT became MNS' bid for sequelizing, since we may never see the rest of this & Unbreakable continued. Guys, dont start what you can't guarantee to finish! The way the opening was shot, I swore lead girl was the one behind it all. Only if you are a resident if the MCU or DCU should they do this 2 hour franchise building filmmaking. The score isn't even worth this sentence - the Unbreakable cue at the end was a lightning rod. I was concocting a score in my wannabe composers mind the whole time of two string quartets divided and pitted against each other in polytonality, with an ARP2500 picking up the slack, supplying an old school, weirdo tonality. Again, this lazy as hell scoring has got to go. Just lazy.    Posted:   Jul 4, 2018 - 2:49 AM     By:   Drawgoon   (Member) I am glad Howard is not scoring this. The last thing I want is to hear a brilliant idea by the composer played by a small ensemble accompanied by synthetic chorus - or worse, an all-electronics thriller. Small budgets thrillers tend to spawn nothing but cold, soulless electronic soundscapes anyway. It is a sequel? Then at best it might have faint nods to the franchise's roots here and there (maybe that piano motif from Unbreakable in this case?) but nothing to remember the new score by itself. Think of, say, Zimmer's Inferno vs Da Vinci Code. I don't like to see Howard involved with mediocrity. Give him Cameron's Avatar sequels instead.    Posted:   Jul 4, 2018 - 3:19 AM     By:   GoblinScore   (Member) Yeah but a good composer given a teeny budget & some room for ingenuity can go far. I cite most of the original TWILIGHT ZONE TV scores, LoDuca's original THE EVIL DEAD and Horner's TESTAMENT (13 players IIRC) & SOMETHING WICKED THIS WAY COMES for random examples of limited players turning out good, effective & often ingenious work. Present day though, it ain't happening & all the lost opportunities are painful    Posted:   Jul 4, 2018 - 5:35 AM     By:   Lokutus   (Member) SPLIT became MNS' bid for sequelizing, since we may never see the rest of this & Unbreakable continued. Uhm??? You know there is a movie called GLASS, which is already in the post production and will be released in early 2019, right?    Posted:   Jul 4, 2018 - 6:50 AM     By:   Khan   (Member) I am glad Howard is not scoring this.

LOL, JNH has written that exact score before!    Posted:   Aug 1, 2020 - 5:13 PM     By:   First Breath   (Member) JNH did not return, but man how cool it was to hear his Visions theme from UNBREAKABLE at the end of SPLIT.     General Discussion: M.
