thought this was about the old heath ledger show on FOX by PVIII	Apr 28th, 2008 08:49:16 AM
would've been cooler
Exactly what I was thinking by Purgatori	Apr 28th, 2008 08:51:47 AM
I would have actually bought the Heath Ledger show.
Anyone seen my dad? by Bastard Son of Superman	Apr 28th, 2008 09:11:49 AM

It´s a lion! by CuervoJones	Apr 28th, 2008 09:18:31 AM

Really? Your favorite? by TheLastCleric	Apr 28th, 2008 09:53:03 AM
With true legends like Williams and Zimmer still pumping out soundtracks, I don't really get your taste but whatever. The man is very talented to be sure but nothing I've heard struck me as iconic. Perhaps I should watch the Cloverfield credits again.

Just curious, but how do you pronounce your son Toshi's name? "Toe-shee"?
Great! So it should be on Limewire later that day! by googamooga	Apr 28th, 2008 10:09:10 AM
Yeah, I'm a pirate, ARRRRR. Sue me.
What I REALLY want to know, though... by googamooga	Apr 28th, 2008 10:10:43 AM
Is will there be 1 1/2 minutes of silence on the track before the actual music starts? I want the genuine movie experience!
I downloaded this like two months ago by Lenny8	Apr 28th, 2008 10:14:55 AM
Jeesh.
I don't often sit through the end credits by Hawaiian Organ Donor	Apr 28th, 2008 10:27:59 AM
But I did for Cloverfield. Nice piece of music. Mori, Giacchino has also done scores for some of the Medal of Honor games so if you love his work that much you should check them out as well. Great stuff to exercise to.
If only the end credits made up for the rest... by quantize	Apr 28th, 2008 10:31:13 AM
which of course even the most skillful Toho tribute could not.
CLOVERFIELD IS.... by BurgerTime	Apr 28th, 2008 10:39:14 AM
....how Godzilla SHOULD have been shot and edited. Give us the brief character setups, then send the thing loose and film the carnage and mayhem. And ROAR!...well, that was just the cherry on top.
It's an OVERRATED track by Proman1984	Apr 28th, 2008 11:14:36 AM
It's atchy but a little simplistic
Ah... by JayWells87	Apr 28th, 2008 12:30:19 PM
And the "Cloverfield ROCKED/SUCKED" debate begins....
Christ, geeks can be such old biddies. by odysseus	Apr 28th, 2008 12:35:17 PM
CLOVERFIELD was a fuckin' blast. Sure its shooting style stretched credibility -- but it's about a giant monster! Should we delve into the physics and biological credibility of such a creature, too? We're lucky someone made such a cool monster flick.
Wake me up when this is released on an ACTUAL CD by Osmosis Jones	Apr 28th, 2008 12:50:42 PM

Williams is "pumping out" soundtracks? by Osmosis Jones	Apr 28th, 2008 12:54:49 PM
The new Indiana Jones movie will feature the first new Williams score in TWO-AND-A-HALF YEARS. And Hans Zimmer is a "legend"? He singlehandedly RUINED contemporary film scoring. Now every score is the same bland orchestral/synthetic mush, while genuine talents like Bruce Broughton are forced to score bad Lifetime TV movies. Giacchino is one of the few composers working now who can write complex, thematic orchestral music without leaning on techno synth pads or "moaning woman" nonsense.
its a pretty cool track by fried samurai	Apr 28th, 2008 01:30:44 PM
But cmon some of you guys act like its the best piece of music you've ever heard.Its got nuthin on the original Godzilla theme.
Awesome news by theycallmemrglass	Apr 28th, 2008 02:40:01 PM
Roar! is a fantastic orchestral monster mash. It is a tribute to the old Godzilla theme and Giacchino does it justice in his unique way. He also did the best ever Mission Impossible cover, yes, better than Limp Bizkit's version. Its his arrangement of percussion that really pumps your adrenaline senses. And dont start me on how radical his Lost soundtrack is. Cant wait to get this track.
Gotham_night by supersize	Apr 28th, 2008 03:43:20 PM
I wasn't a big fan of the ending either suffer through all that shitt only for everyone to die. meh!
Yes, but what does Mori love EVERY DAY? by Lenny8	Apr 28th, 2008 03:44:01 PM
Himself, of course! Everyone else can go suck his cornhole until it bleeds.
a D. Vader thank you by Bouncy X	Apr 28th, 2008 03:49:10 PM
for mentioning the season 3 Lost soundtrack. i didnt even realize they made any, and especially not one for the first 3 seasons. usually they'll make a "best of" when it comes to tv series scores so this is cool. so yeah, thanks to you i found out and bought the first 2 seasons and pre-ordered 3. i also picked up the two Alias scores cuz i loved his music for that as well, though there's only season 1 and 2, i assume sales werent good enough to release the rest. ANYWAY, yeah thank you...you made my wallet happy. :P
All homage, no originality by therealkumar	Apr 28th, 2008 05:53:14 PM
A Bond homage, his Mission Impossible homage, his Speed Racer homage, his Godzilla homage. Can't wait for the Star Trek homage! Lost doesn't sound like an homage but it's also completely indistinguished.
"Cloverfield sucked." "No it didn't." "Yes it did." by MattmanReturns	Apr 28th, 2008 05:57:04 PM
Enough already. Fuck. Some people like it, some don't. Both sides please shut the fuck up.
Clint Mansell's one of my current favorite film composers by Jackie Boy	Apr 28th, 2008 08:52:31 PM
Just sayin'.
ROAR!!! by SpiceWonBruce	Apr 29th, 2008 12:44:28 AM
Just downloaded it from iTunes. Changes halfway through from GODZILLA "homage" to 50's-esque movie overture. Love it.
I wouldn't rip homages, therealkumar... by jerseycajun	Apr 29th, 2008 04:33:58 AM
An author or artist is still showing proficiency even when evoking previously established motifs - by reworking them into new pieces. Rock n' Roll really hasn't evolved much since the 70's, but musicians still write new music with that beat and feel- some extremely well. Giacchino is quite simply proving to be a master at working in genre music without copying what's already been done. I also love the fact that to my mind he's showing a great deal of versatility in the process. Unlike Horner, for example (whose work I also like, but not as much) who you can pick out by his use of certain chord progressions and use of certain instruments in similar patterns.
Just purchased mine... by ScoreKeeper	Apr 29th, 2008 09:00:33 AM
This is by far the best film music piece of the year!
I just purchased it as well! by GenPion	Apr 29th, 2008 02:12:38 PM
I want to support Michael Giacchino so I got it through iTunes as well. I can't wait to hear it in its full, unedited glory.
ITS NOT ON ITUNES NO MORE!!!! by silentbobafett2	Apr 30th, 2008 02:19:12 AM
I can't find it under CLOVERFIELD or MICHAEL GIACCHINO!!! Whats that about?
I saw that too, silentbobafett... by jerseycajun	May 3rd, 2008 02:59:26 AM
Though I did get a copy before it went belly up. What's the deal?
so I fnally go to buy it and it's gone by logicalnoise01	May 4th, 2008 08:54:01 PM
