Film Score Haiku Thread
No film score limerick thread.
Time to start one up.
An entrepreneur, name of Lukas
Gave us music that thrilled us and shook us
But along came defeatists
Who eschewed the completists
And covered each issue in mucus.
Holly and Ayla and Josh
Spent so much of their hard-earned dosh
On esoteric CDs
Until Ayla said 'Please...
Make sure we've enough left for nosh'.
Stromberg and Bonn and Morgan
Wrote sleeve-notes with exquisite jargon
Bill brandished his baton
While Anna worked hard on
What John had cooked up with his organ.
Keep 'em coming, dearies.

Those 80s fanboys do love their Conti and Kamen
With every Broughton release, they shout "Amen!"
No interest in Korngold, Steiner, Al Newman or Skinner
Which is why Golden Age releases are getting thinner
Give pre 60s scores a try, what do you say, men?

James Bond's musical alter ego was John Barry
When scored by others, the Bond music did vary
Conti, Hamlisch and Eric Serra played the game
David Arnold did try but it just wasn't the same
With John at the helm, music and images did marry

To the great Bernard Herrmann, let us sing his praise
Janet's shower, Tippi's thefts or Jimmy Stewart's gaze
Sinbad's voyage, Pat Boone at the center of the earth
Welles' Kane, Tierney's Mrs. Muir all have their worth
Gone 36 years, his music still has the power to amaze

This thread has lots of potential
For poetic outbursts torrential
When push comes to shove,
The posters above
Display they've got all the essential.
A club called Varese Sarabande
Their product was frequently panned
Folk said, 'It's not decent...
This stuff is too recent:
Dig deeper, and bypass the bland'.
Our ancestors beset by the Norsemen
Or fierce Scandinavian oarsmen
Water-Melons aloft,
Did fearlessly scoff,
'Who is this who would edit our scores, then?'

A director called Hazanavicious made The Artist
In scoring the film, Mr. Bource worked his hardest
At home, Ms. Novak saw the film silent
Her reaction to the music was violent
Yet his Oscar win was the smartest
