It's the most blatant piece of plagiarism in film music in a while. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blankments Posted May 12, 2016 Share Posted May 12, 2016 Gotcha. I'll admit I'm pretty score-illiterate, so I didn't notice that. I can imagine that'd be annoying, but ignorance is bliss? At least in my case haha But I can see where you're coming from for sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ddddeeee Posted May 21, 2016 Author Share Posted May 21, 2016 OK I'm getting over the plagiarism issues and starting to enjoy The Jungle Book a lot more. I'm glad Debney landed a project worth his talents for the first time in ages. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stripe Posted May 24, 2016 Share Posted May 24, 2016 Debney score to Passion of the Christ is amazing, but he is part of that huge group of composers almost forgotten by Hollywood. I would love to listen more things from Trevor Jones or David Arnold. What about James Newton Howard being the composer for Fantaastic Beasts? That increased like x100 my interest for that movie. From what I have listened, TJB is competent, X-Men is notable, BvS is a mess with a few interesting themes (Wonder Woman), and CW is functional and forgettable.

department store basement Posted May 31, 2016 Share Posted May 31, 2016 David Buckley and John Ottman's score for The Nice Guys is my new favorite of the year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ethan Hunt Posted June 17, 2016 Share Posted June 17, 2016 Dory is clearly the winner of the year so far 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stripe Posted June 29, 2016 Share Posted June 29, 2016 A thought about IDR score One of the biggest missed oportunities in a while. After the bombastic great score David Arnold wrote for ID, we have a formulaic generic score that barely uses the great motifs of the original film. Poor Arnold. Being replaced by lame Kloser...

The Panda Posted June 29, 2016 Share Posted June 29, 2016 The Winds of Winter had the best score of the year, so far. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ddddeeee Posted July 3, 2016 Author Share Posted July 3, 2016 BFG isn't really doing it for me yet, I'll keep trying. Secret Life of Pets is a lot of fun. Finding Dory is lovely but lacking a strong theme to anchor it like all the best Newman scores. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stripe Posted July 5, 2016 Share Posted July 5, 2016 BFG theme is growing as I listen to it Dory is magic, but as @ddddeeee says, there is not a new poweful theme attached to it. Some of the best cues this year can be found in X-Men Apocalypse score (The Transference / The Pyramid collapses / You're XMen). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ddddeeee Posted July 19, 2016 Author Share Posted July 19, 2016 BFG has really grown on me. One listen really isn't enough to appreciate all the complexity of a Williams score. I remember was so disappointed with TFA during my first listen and now that's my favorite score of the millennium. Granted, BFG is still a notch below Alice Through the Looking Glass and maybe The Jungle Book for me. The Monkey King 2 is out now and I couldn't be more excited for that score.

cannastop Posted August 9, 2016 Share Posted August 9, 2016 I was just tuning in to the Q3 earnings broadcast from Disney, and they started playing music from recent Disney movies. I noticed that there was some instrumental piece. At first I thought it might be Star Wars, but then I realized it was Zootopia. This track: Caught me off guard. It's quite nice.

Dan9 Posted August 15, 2016 Share Posted August 15, 2016 Finding Dory's is hauntingly beautiful. I don't think standout themes would have really worked with it, it just creates the perfect atmosphere each scene is going for. Repeated themes from Nemo are used really sparingly as well, so I'd be shocked if this wasn't at least a nom. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
