Re: The Dark Knight Rises (Nolan)

Zimmer isn't my favorite composer but TDK score was well done. I didn't care that they went with him over Alf Clausen for The Simpsons Movie, but it wasn't entirely bad either.

A lot of people just rank him as a very generic composer.

If it's so irrelevant, you should not have bothered to say anything. I didn't ask you to.

Also, I didn't say one thing about the music itself being good or bad, just the fact that it's obvious how its made of of several cues put together.

The Batman scores and the Simpsons Movie are the only Zimmer scores I can say I truly enjoy on many levels. I like the sort of alternate theme he made for Homer which was a nice companion to Elfman's Simpsons theme.

If it weren't for James L. Brooks' involvement, Clausen most certainly would've gotten the film but Brooks goes with Zimmer on most of his movies (like 'As Good as it Gets')

Lol ask you? Last I checked this is a message board. Where I'm free to express my opinions.

If saying something is a 'jumbled mess' doesn't mean bad I don't know what is.

I could say your opinions, whether you're free to express them or not, are just as irrelevant but I won't. I don't have those extreme views the way most Zimmer fans have.

Have you heard the complete scores for Batman Begins and The Dark Knight?

If so, then you know the albums for those scores were edited out of the complete scores into suite form.

In this case, the suites don't flow well. I didn't say one word about whether the supposed Selina Kyle music was good or not, or the Bane chanting, or the many callbacks to ideas in the first two.

Re: The Dark Knight Rises (Nolan)

The film's official production notes are in PDF form on the official website, and are a great read full of quotes from the cast and crew without being too spoilerish:

You both need to learn how to read since Nick Martin beat you to that a day ago.

I posted mine as a joke. Sadly, I forgot to use a smiley.

Never mind. Doesn't matter because it's awesome either way.

If that's a real poster it's the best one so far. I love it.

Re: The Dark Knight Rises (Nolan)

LOL @ the "Is that real?" questions. Don't any of you go to actual movie sites? It's on the first page of every one.

It's the official IMAX poster (a.k.a. the poster everyone going to see the Midnight Imax showing will receive).

Does anyone think Nolan is willing to kill Bruce Wayne off in this movie?

I wish IMAX was doing the trilogy marathon in 15/70.

Re: The Dark Knight Rises (Nolan)

I think it would be good if Nolan killed Bats. Just to be original considering his trilogy ends here. I think WB would let him. I've thought it a possibility but honestly...I don't know. Nolan is a bag of surprises w/ Batman.
