ScoreKeeper With The Results Of THE DARK KNIGHT Score CD Contest!!
Greetings! ScoreKeeper here toting the results of THE DARK KNIGHT (2008)
soundtrack CD giveaway.
If you remember, the rules of the drawing stated
that if anybody had similarly selected each of my favorite scores by Hans
Zimmer and James Newton Howard then they would bypass the drawing and
automatically get a CD.
I had one matching entry.
Everyone else entered the drawing where four names were randomly selected to
receive a copy of THE DARK KNIGHT soundtrack CD.
First, the four names from the drawing…
Benjamin Schapiro – Philadelphia, PA
Christopher Martin – Cambridge, Ontario
Jon Wolf – Atlanta, GA
Jose R. Gonzalez III – Long Beach, CA
Finally, the single entry I received which matched my two favorites…
Aaron Shact – Los Angeles, CA
And our two favorite scores?
GLADIATOR (2000) by Hans Zimmer
and
DAVE (1993) by James Newton Howard
Congratulations to the winners and thank you to everyone who entered. I’m
going to have more contests and giveaways soon.
The next one, featuring my
second favorite score of the year (so far), will go up later this week.

this gotta be the fuckin record!
-
I didn't win so fuck it
-
It's what comes after Anyway.
-
Pricks. Go and play pattycake somewhere else.
-
I have written a screenplay and I'm looking for an agent. My script has been read by one of the biggest celebrities in the world, who loved it and gave me feedback in a form of a letter.
-
..and yet you can't manage to write two sentences without a mistake?
-
Damn You Michael Bay
-
The script I have written may best be described as Titanic meets Apollo 13.
-
Search your feelings. You know it to be true.
-
You're obviously an annoying and stupid cunt, so you should have every chance of making it in Hollywood. The very best of luck to you!
-
But what I also find unbelievable is that the contest was concluded and a winner picked in a reasonable amount of time!
-
i'm willing to bet you'd go see my movie.
-
Pauly Shore is not a celebrity. He's an asshole, just like you.

I know I've been bitching a lot recently, but I just hate Zimmer. It's all bangs and crashes, and when he steals from classical composers, it's never done as elegantly as when, say, John Williams does it. Most of all, I don't think he ever serves the film properly. He just does the 'Zimmer' thing. I have recently been admiring the scores of Alan Silvestri: I love that he absolutely responds to each film, be it the madcap register in Back to the Future, the simplicity / dignity in Contact and Cast Away, or the genuine rollicking epic stuff in Beowulf. To me, that is such a more impressive body of work. And those are just his Zemeckis collaborations.
-
It got to $500 million domestic gross faster than that sinking ship movie.
-
TDK just crawled passed 500 million, it need to pass 900 million to beat Titanic, there's just absolutely no chance! It pretty much needs to double what it made so far and that ain't happening!
-
I guess it wasn't exactly as memorable as the score for say, The Empire Strikes Back or Porky's 2.
-
that Titanic made such a haul. I wonder how long that record will stand?
-
no TDK needs to beat about 600 million domestic to beat Titantic
-
That belongs to Gone With the Wind, which made 1.4 billion domestic followed by A New Hope with 1.2 billion. Titanic is #6, this is an excellent source for information:

You have to adjust for inflation, remember Titanic is an 11 year old movie now. Take a look at this:

Are nerds really collecting movie scores and listening to them outside of the actual film? Dear lord, it is a movie soundtrack people. If you own this you will never get laid EVER!!!!!
-
I knew a guy in college who listened to ONLY movie scores. I don't know if he ever got laid or not. He was gay, so probably.
-
is miles better than the Gladiator one.
-
Why are you on this site?
-
Something about this website is messing with my browser. Copy dialog box and bookmark box wont come up. It's this site only. Running firefox. Are you running something covert?
-
Listen to Zimmer's Lion King, Crimson Tide, Beyond Rangoon, Rain Man, Black Hawk Down, Thin Red Line, Hannibal, Power Of One... the man has done some great work. Pity that it's forgotten when you hear that Media Ventures sound(TM) in everything these days - and usually it's not even him. Do we blame him for the continued uninspired use of those sample banks? Sometimes I do in the way I'm sure people will be cursing Bill Gates for years to come.
Newton Howard's scores for anything Shyamalan (although I didn't pay much attention to The Happening's score cause the movie was distracting by trying to be anything other than a bad joke) and Snow Falling On Ceders is lovely. -
FART.
-
I am here because I love movies, but to listen to an actual movie score outside of the context of the film is kind of sad, unless you are actually a musician and are perhaps studying music. I personally think two of the best film scores ever are Jaws and The Sting, but I would never listen to them in my car or at home unless I was watching those particular films. People wanna disagree with me, then fine, I get a lot of that on this site, especially since I think Obama is a tool.
-
Fuck Elfman and fuck you cocksuckers.
-
Best thing he's done, although I like Gladiator's score a lot (it's actually better than the film)
-
I'm sorry, I simply don't believe Dave is his favorite JNH score. He likes the movie and his love for it is blinding him from objectively considering the score for the movie. I'm sorry, he needs to get his shit under control.
-
NO, FUCK YOU ASSHOLE. Elfman's score is amazing. You wouldn't know a good score if it cock-hit you on your ass.
-
While listening to the score for THE DARK KNIGHT.
-
I'm gonna choke you to death, bitch.
-
AICN does nbot have $5002
-
LOL. Not if I don't see you first, sonny.
-
The kind seen above.
-
..is Thomas Newman..that is a fact. The dude is infinitely more creative and inventive than the rest of the hack factory combined.
-
if you think listening to film scores is sad. What of kind of people visit these sites? Geez.
