I had a 3d tv (well I still do, its my bedroom tv now) I can count on 1 hand the amount of times I used the 3d on it. Seriously I'm glad its dying.Would be a niche within a niche (steels) - still, you never know down the road. Personally I'm more than okay without any 3D.
You hate hans zimmer?€ 89,99, yikes.
I don't like the Tenet-style steel, I hate Hans Zimmer and I don't do pocket books - so this one's definitely not for me.
Yes I do. Because I love film music. Too bad all the great composers are dead now. And the good ones still around don't get these great gigs. Everything is mowed down by Zimmer and his machinery of minions...You hate hans zimmer?
There are load of great movie soundtrack composers.Yes I do. Because I love film music. Too bad all the great composers are dead now. And the good ones still around don't get these great gigs. Everything is mowed down by Zimmer and his machinery of minions...

Like I wrote, the good composers out there hardly ever get a chance to score the big projects anymore. It's all Zimmer, Balfe and all the other clones who define the mainstream cinema sound these days.There are load of great movie soundtrack composers.
Even Zimmer's music can be effective, no doubt. I like The Thin Red Line, for example, that was perfect for that film (which is one of my favorites). Scores like Interstellar are servicable - but so utterly simplistic.Have you heard the music to Interstellar, especially during docking after 'The Martian' crash? Or Dune Sketchbook?
My favorite is the one theme he plagiarized from himself, and redone at least 3 times, featured in Crimson Tide, The Rock, The Peacemaker, and what finally became the Pirates of the Caribbean theme.
Zimmer score for 2049 : annoying buzzing sounds even the imax speakers got saturated.€ 89,99, yikes.

Crappy speakers, if they couldn't handle it.Zimmer score for 2049 : annoying buzzing sounds even the imax speakers got saturated.
Zimmer score for dune : see above.
Soundtrack composers i like the most :Crappy speakers, if they couldn't handle it.
Dune's powerful sound is half the experience of the movie.
What kind of music do you guys usually like and listen to, just to get a feel on what's going on here?
You seem tense.Like I wrote, the good composers out there hardly ever get a chance to score the big projects anymore. It's all Zimmer, Balfe and all the other clones who define the mainstream cinema sound these days.
Now even James Bond. Why the F?! And a great composer like David Arnold, who wrote amazing Bond scores, is condemned to score television, probably for the rest of his career. Such a shame.
It's painful to think what an actually great composer could have done with a film like Dune...
One half of me likes Rock music (quite diverse, as long as it has a certain drive), the other is into film and classical music. In terms of film music, James Horner and Jerry Goldsmith were giants. James Newton Howard can be very good, so can the above-mentioned David Arnold. John Debney is a huge talent - recently I blasted my 3 months old daughter to sleep with Debney's masterpiece Cutthroat Island; now there's a big powerful pirate score! (Never mind the movie.) Unfortunately, that guy is also condemned to score small terrible comedies and horror movies.Crappy speakers, if they couldn't handle it.

Yeah well... Kind of a sore point with me. I get into rant mode quickly. I used to be pretty passionate about film music - now this genre is basically dead for me, and I almost exclusively "live" it through new releases of older/classic scores - the "other" thing I collect heavily.You seem tense.
It's Fnac, always overpriced unfortunately..As much as i would love to own a deluxe edition that price is to high
I was just teasing. I'm also very interested in film music. I agree with you that there was a time (late 90s/early 00s) when it seemed to be turning into Hans Zimmer Inc.—like, how many times can you reuse that same Gladiator/Pirates battle music? But lately I feel he's been challenging himself a little more. I've also been impressed with the variety of textures Ludwig Goransson has been using in his scores. And I like Marco Beltrami's Quiet Place music better than the movies themselves.Yeah well... Kind of a sore point with me. I get into rant mode quickly.
