[QUOTE=cheetahben;48618371]Hans Zimmer is a fucking hack[/QUOTE] woah rusty I didn't know you had an alt

but i like hans zimmer i agree he borrows from himself too often though

[QUOTE=Rusty100;48626008]because it's the subject matter that's embarrassing zombie survival stuff + thinking he knows what is and isn't a zombie = embarrassing human[/QUOTE] I get it now. Any genre you don't like is crap, even if it's quality stuff in that type of genre.

[QUOTE=Rusty100;48626008]because it's the subject matter that's embarrassing zombie survival stuff + thinking he knows what is and isn't a zombie = embarrassing human[/QUOTE] So he can't state in [I]his own book[/I] (which you haven't even read) what he thinks a zombie is? He makes absolutely no claims that other definitions are 'wrong', I don't think he ever even mentions 'fast zombies', and I'm pretty sure his description is as about as close to Romero's vision as you could get. How about you do your research before you talk out of your ass like that? He wrote the book a) because it's a fun topic to read/talk about (or was at the time, I agree zombies have become stale and overused recently) and b) he knew he could make money off it (can't blame him for that) someone who argues about the content of a book they haven't even read = embarrassing human

guys guys let's not jump on a rusty hate bandwagon here, he has his opinions like we have ours. besides, the hans zimmer thing is more important than X's take on zombies.

[QUOTE=Joz;48625941]Inception is the example where soundtrack just fits the overall film - doesn't outshine and doesn't blend into the background. It's effective from a narrative point of view where it's necessary. Unlike other people say, there is a creative understanding between Nolan and Zimmer - he delivers what the director wants.[/QUOTE] bWAH BWuHHHHHHHHHH

[QUOTE=Rusty100;48626018]but i like hans zimmer i agree he borrows from himself too often though[/QUOTE] I think you're confused about what the book is though? It's not meant to be taken seriously as an actual guide or anything, it's a comedy book. It's supposed to be funny.

daybreakers didnt know what to expect at first, my girlfriend said it was good but ive never been a vampire kinda guy surprisingly interesting, does vampires in a pretty killer way and i was glued to it just to see what ideas they would come out with next would recommend to anyone looking for a fun vampire action flick

[QUOTE=Pops;48626361]guys guys let's not jump on a rusty hate bandwagon here, he has his opinions like we have ours. besides, the hans zimmer thing is more important than X's take on zombies.[/QUOTE] Except his opinions are formed on things he doesn't even know about because he stated himself he hasn't read the books.

hello and welcome to the "Max Brooks and Hans Zimmer are hacks" thread

[QUOTE=Scot;48626814]hello and welcome to the "Max Brooks and Hans Zimmer are hacks" thread[/QUOTE] Max Brooks and Hans Zimmer working on a Jurassic World sequel would make this thread explode.

[B]악마를 보았다[/B] ([B]I Saw the Devil[/B], Park Hoon-jung, 2010) 8/10 Is there a film in existence that has even more displays of physical cruelty? The actors were fantastic, the plot is basic but has a few surprises that keep it interesting. The characters would have needed more development however. Good sountrack.

just saw [B]The Blair Witch Project[/B] I really liked it, it's pretty mental how well they did it compared to all the films that it inspired. Plus even though it's obviously very nineties at the beginning, [sp]once they're actually in the woods the whole thing becomes pretty much timeless[/sp]

If they do occur, IIRC he says you're fucked. It's also completely a work of fiction, based on a...parasite I believe, or a bacteria called Solanum/Solinum/I forget it's been ages since I read it. It's a work of fiction.

I haven't read The Zombie Survival Guide in a very long time, but I finished reading WWZ a week ago and it's a fun book. I don't know where Rusty is getting this hate from.

The best director + soundtrack composer duo will always be David Lynch and Angelo Badalamenti

Saw a 35mm print of Drive on the big screen on one of the biggest non-imax screens in America. it was good

There's quite a few fantastic director + composer duos out there. Sergio Leone and Ennio Moricone are probably my personal favorite but there's also Miyazaki + Hisaishi, obligatory mention of Spielberg and John Williams, Kieslowski + Preisner if only for the 3 colors trilogy. Hell I'd even add Basil Poledourus and Verhoven cuz I'm admittedly a sucker for Poledourus' work. Quite frankly I feel a little foolish for even picking a favorite, each are great in their own way.

[QUOTE=cheetahben;48628543]The best director + soundtrack composer duo will always be David Lynch and Angelo Badalamenti[/QUOTE] You mean it's not John Carpenter and John Carpenter?

[QUOTE=Agent 47;48629464]Saw a 35mm print of Drive on the big screen on one of the biggest non-imax screens in America. it was good[/QUOTE] uncsa?????

Bronson - This is the second Refn film I've seen, the first being Drive. I didn't expect to like it too much because imo Drive was a pretty mediocre film, but I thought Bronson was absolutely amazing. Tom Hardy gave a great performance and the lighting in the film was perfect. The audio and delivery of plot was done in a great manner.

[B]**SPOILERS**[/B] Comparing the Sad Scenes in [I]Inside Out[/I] and [I]Shaun the Sheep[/I] [B]**SPOILERS**[/B] You may recall that of the two best Animated features to come out this summer I said that [I]Shaun the Sheep/[/I] was better than [I]Inside Out[/I] on the basis that for what it set out to do, [I]Shaun[/I] was able to make me cry while I merely felt sorry in [I]Inside Out[/I]. It took me a while to think of it but I finally realized why after seeing both again and I apologize but I am going to have to spoil what happens in both in order to make this argument without having this entire thing be a huge black box. [I]Shaun the Sheep[/I] opens with a prolonged flashback, I think maybe somewhere between 3 and 5 minutes, to what I assume is the Farmer's first day of sheep farming. What this accomplishes is that we actually get to see the early relationships between the Farmer, Bitzer the Dog, and Shaun and the rest of the sheep, and since there is no dialogue we see, we are not told, how much they love each other and how the sheep and Bitzer see the Farmer as a kind of father figure. As such when the Farmer loses his memory and the Sheep and Bitzer find him, it isn't just that he doesn't remember or recognize them, or that he reacts with fear and tries to shoo them away that makes us cry, it's the fact that we remember that opening scene and realize that from their point of view their father basically reacted as if he didn't love them. That is just heartbreaking. On the other hand, in [I]Inside Out[/I] we are meant to cry when Bing Bong gets forgotten by Riley, but the problem is that there really isn't anything to make us think that Riley actually has or had any real attachment to the guy. Oh we get to see the flashbacks, but whereas [I]Shaun[/I]'s flashback scene lasted around 3 to 5 minutes these flashbacks to Riley playing with Bing Bong last around 3 to 5 seconds, and so we have to go mostly on the film's word that Riley used to like the guy. When he gets killed forgotten we really have no reason to believe that he was remembered in the first place, and as such it's not crying sad, it's sorry sad. And yes, I realize that this isn't the only scene in [I]Inside Out[/I] that we were supposed to cry at, but it's one that just really didn't work for me. I actually did feel really sad when Riley tries running away, but that worked because again we actually got to see this family relationship set up and work, where as I had no real reason to see why I should feel sad that Riley doesn't remember Bing Bong.

hans zimmer invented BWAAAH, I remember him saying the brass section was the largest he'd ever orchestrated

[QUOTE=Scot;48632914]hans zimmer invented BWAAAH, I remember him saying the brass section was the largest he'd ever orchestrated[/QUOTE] i thought whoever made that alarm song from that one District 9 trailer first did it or at least popularize it

If your movie trailer doesn't have inception horns in it it's not a proper trailer

Or other noises [img]http://i.imgur.com/KlyoWKx.png[/img] (granted, the trailer for Prometheus was probably a lot better than the actual movie)

things that turn me away from movies nowadays-- hearing BWAAAAAHHHHH in the trailer
