    I thought it's interesting that he didn't say his last name... I guess it was intended to make the inside joke less obvious? Or maybe the character was written as an RC guy tongue wink

    I went to seeing The Holiday just because I loved the score so much, but I enjoyed much more than I had expected. It's a nice feel-good film even with a lot of corny stuff. Better than Something's Gotta Give anyway...

    It's not as recognisable as Jaws, definitely probably not, but people do recognise Pirates - whether film music geeks think it's worthy of recognition or not.


    I remain sceptical that the average man in the street would really recognise it, to be honest. Nothing to do with whether it's worthy of recognition (I think it's a really catchy, fun theme) - I just doubt they would - at least, not in the same way as the average man would identify Star Wars or Jaws or Indiana Jones or Star Trek or The Good, the Bad and the Ugly or The Pink Panther or The Great Escape.


    I don't imagine it's quite at that level, but I certainly have a hunch it's Zimmer's most famous tune. Most people of MY age group tend to know it, that's all I can say.

    I love to do or see a survey on this! It would certainly prove enlightening.


    I didn't do any survey but at least I can say it's popular here in Japan, especially among young people. Now He's A Pirate seems to be one of the most frequently-played repertoires in school brass bands along with Ghibli and Disney medley biggrin

    Also one of my classmates used it as her cellphone ringtone, and another own the soundtrack even she isn't a film music fan...

    Honestly I'm not a fan of the theme. I wish any of other better themes by Zimmer should have been his "most-recognized theme" (Love Theme from PotC3 or Father's Theme from The Lion King for example)

    Being in a university environment, I live in a somewhat different culture to "The Real World", so to speak. But I do have a hunch that a lot of people can recognise the Pirates theme a lot more than James realises. (Plus it is very memorable.)

    It's tough putting that to the test!? The true test is whether it'll have the longevity of the likes of classic Bond, Star Wars, The Pink Panther, Great Escape etc.

    I was a wee toddler when that show was made, so obviously I have no idea what you're talking about.


    It is with a heavy heart and deep regret that I have to inform you that GOING FOR GOLD is alive and well daily with that very same Zimmer theme tune.

    The good news is that it's on Channel 5 so no one watches it.

    I don't believe THAT for a moment. Star Wars is a phenomenom wayyyyy beyond 'Pirates'. Films and music.

    Blow Dry
    The national hair dressing competition comes to town. Alan Rickman and Natasha Richardson team up one last time to take part after a broken marriage. Another of those charming Brit drama/comedies! Also starring Rachel Griffiths and Heidi Klum.
    Patrick Doyle's score is modest for most parts-- synths and some quirky themes. But there's a lush string theme he has at the end which is a beauty. I. Must. Get. It.
    The score has not been released although some of the MP3 sites seem to have some version of it.

    No...it's flawed, but enjoyable (like Jumper and Hancock). You wait until they destroy the house. wink biggrin

    I'll have to add this to my blockbuster rental list as I haven't seen it in ages. (I've got the DVD, but I want to get use out of my Blu-ray player, but without paying £20 a film.)

    I liked Mr. & Mrs. Smith during the first half; an entertaining spoof on mariage and American living. During the second half, though, they ran out of ideas, giving way to a downright boring final act. It's not too bad, though.

    Me too. I thought Jolie and Pitt had great chemistry, and I loved the whole marriage spin on an action film.
  17. Great chemistry, that's an understatement. How many kids they've got now? bunny

    D didn't take into account that you said "the average man" which makes it a far wider spectrum.

    Anyway, I just watched BIG TROUBLE IN LITTLE CHINA ( and not for the first time ) and what a cheesy hilarious but fantastic fun film it is cool

    Satellite In The Sky (1956) was a film which had a lot of documentary footage of the British and there attempt at space. It also featured Lois Maxwell (miss moneypenny).

    Everyone involved sure was in their best form when making this. You can just see the enjoyment dripping from the actors' faces. Carpenter sure went all aboard on this one. Agghhh... the 80s... when movies were still about the fun.

    The Deceivers
    Based on a true story about the thuggee cult in India (c. 1800). The cult members or thugs (and hence the origin of the word) murdered and stole from travelers after accompanying them on their journey. Pierce Brosnan stars as a British officer who infiltrates the cult and helps bring it to an end.

    John Scott's score is lovely! The opening titles with title design by Maurice Binder are fantastic.
    *I must now think of a GTS game that would be appropriate for this*
    I think I bought this score first after seeing an FSM post-- there's a sequence where a nawab and his group are being entertained with dance and music (that faux Indian music which the West often resorts to). Scott adds tension gradually with the orchestra until the music reaches a terrifying crescendo for the murderous rampage that occurs. Awesome!

    I do not understand why Scott did not go on to get high-profile projects like Goldsmith or Williams. sad

    Good point Gilles, all involved do indeed seem to be having a right old hoot when making this biggrin Very infectious and one of those films I can watch many times.

    Outlander

    The 13th Warrior meets Predator......with less budget. Pure fun and totally unpretentious, with Geoff Zanelli composing his particular King Arthur.

    I'm looking forward to hearing this one on CD - now that SAE actually have some copies in store and should start shipping soon.
