I just can't believe grown folks-well maybe not grown-actually pay for and watch these shit movies. Just a glance at the board and it's like looking at a teenagers forum.
Steve Jabberwocky, Brian Tyler Bates, Captain Underpants, GOTG, etal. And guys like George Kallis can't even get any props.

Billboard Top 40 Movie Scores.


So, f'ing what? Why does it matter where the scores are coming from if people are interested in them? If this board existed 30 years ago, most of us would be talking about Barry's score for Howard the Duck, Williams' score for Spacecamp and Michael Kamen's Adventures in Babysitting - all movies aimed at the teen crowd, but as fans we were all interested in the music.


Not talking about the music. I stated I just can't believe "grown folks" PAY to see/watch/go to these shit MOVIES. They are just horrible commercial crap.

You are not really going to compare John Barry and John Williams to the jokers writing these scores for today's "teen movies".

Did you actually see Howard the Duck or Spacecamp when it came out? I was a Howard "nut" as a kid and had collected the Marvel comics, but when the movie came and I saw that damn "duck" there was no way I was going to see/pay for that crap.

Congratulations on your righteousness and superiority in cinematic taste I guess?

I've listened to the entire thing on Spotify (no easy feat as it is looong!) and like what I hear. The strange thing about these Jablonsky TRANSFORMERS scores is they never actually sound like actual score cues — they're all just pieces of music that develop and repeat ideas that are seemingly constructed to be diced and arranged to match onscreen action. I don't know what this means for the art form of film scoring, but as an album/listening experience, it's very interesting.

That seems to be how people write music for games these days - music that can be diced and arranged and looped to match onscreen action.

Yes, this, as much of the Remote Control stock players, seems composed as little suites of music, non matched to the film, they just slice and dice. It is not really film scoring, because they could really compose these suites without the film at all, but for what it is I like Jablonsky's work within the bounds of what it is.
