I am very curious to see this movie. I really like Fincher's work.
Oooh! by Emperor_was_a_jerk	Nov 25th, 2008 11:44:40 AM
AICN got a scoop before Entertainment Weekly! And its... an bland music score... of a movie that is not out yet. Hmm. Okay.
if you play this score backwards by ArcadianDS	Nov 25th, 2008 11:57:37 AM
it says Paul is dead and also the movie makes some kind of sense.
I just hope the movie won't be a special effects wank... by Pdorwick	Nov 25th, 2008 11:58:38 AM
...like Zodiac and the Panic Room were. The emperor has no clothes.
I really hope this movie rocks some socks by tlsonata	Nov 25th, 2008 12:23:43 PM
I'm digging the score a lot though. It's somewhere between Chopin and Sadie
Big fan of Fincher by m_reporter	Nov 25th, 2008 12:24:43 PM
He really "grew up" as a filmmaker with Zodiac, so I can't wait to see his follow-up to that truly great and underrated film.

Rest assured. It wont.

what kind of world do we live in when a composer using countless assistants can't get an oscar. it's not right dammit
if you go on the studio that's making Milk by mikey mike	Nov 25th, 2008 02:10:11 PM
you can hear Elfman's score for it. it may finally give him is oscar
AlexanDER Desplat? by ArchCarrier	Nov 25th, 2008 03:14:42 PM
If Warner really want him to win an Oscar/BAFTA/whatever, they could at least spell his name right. Sheesh...
One Charming Score... by Emerald Saber	Nov 25th, 2008 04:49:10 PM
... To the top of my buying list. This movie will be a splendid experience.
Cool by ScoreKeeper	Nov 25th, 2008 05:44:29 PM
I kinda like it.
deplat's 'birth' score by welbrick	Nov 25th, 2008 06:00:12 PM
is heartbreakingly brilliant.
Sounds kinda Michael Nyman-ish... by Ravetin	Nov 25th, 2008 06:19:05 PM
...which is a good thing. It's like aural Norman Rockwell.
Saw this -- Did not like it by topaz4206	Nov 25th, 2008 07:05:36 PM
This movie is a big bag of gas. It will likely be an Oscar darling, but there is nothing going on below the surface. The source material is not even that great (you can read a legal copy online), but what little substance it had is removed by the film. (In the story, Benjamin is born with the body AND mind of an old man, and both reverse. In the film, his body is old but his mind develops like a normal child) Therefore, the way the movie presents it, living in reverse is really not that different than living forwards: you're an awkward youth, then you live, then you live it up, then you lose the ones you love, then you lose yourself. Worse, Benjamin makes a decision in the third act that is so selfish and illogical, that it undermines any bit of sympathy you might have for the character. I believe Fincher's a great talent, but he needs to sit in a room with Seven and Fight Club on a loop and remind himself of what movies are supposed to be. Sorry for the soliloquy.
SHIRLEY WALKER'S BATMAN: TAS SCORE ON CD!!! by Nasty In The Pasty	Nov 25th, 2008 10:37:57 PM
Sweet Jesus!!!
welbrick by AdmiralNeck	Nov 26th, 2008 02:53:14 AM
Agreed. Desplat's soundtrack to Birth is one of my favourites. It's hard to come by (especially in the UK), but it's worth it.
TDK's score was shit by GongLi.IsA.Hottie	Nov 26th, 2008 11:29:56 AM
There's much better to be had from 2008 than that.
ArcadianDS... well not really... by Emperor_was_a_jerk	Nov 26th, 2008 02:10:47 PM
First off, "pwned"=Lame. Secondly, you are using a new VERSION of a trailer we have already seen as a real honest to goodness example of a SCOOP? You are easily impressed. In fact, wasn't it Entertainment Weekly that got actual shots of the characters from Star Trek before AICN? Didn't AICN post a link to EW to show us all the pictures? So really, EW once again "pwned" this site- as you might say. I just remember the days when AICN had COOL stuff. Stuff that was from honest to goodness spies. Things that were not supposed to be seen by the general public. SNEAKY stuff! Not stuff supplied by the studios (like this trailer was). I still love this site, I still find it enjoyable. but, sadlyl, go elsewhere to find new, cool news FIRST. Then come here to read about it later.
After Nyman's Piano was snubbed by the Academy because by Amy Chasing	Nov 26th, 2008 08:26:41 PM
they said it didn't differ enough from his previous work, is anyone surprised that TDK was disqualified for equally dubious reasoning. Has Desplat won an Oscar yet? He should. Great talent.
