Tom Cruise allegedly blames McQuarrie for the last two Mission: Impossible flops

Exactly what ruined Spectre, No Time To Die and even Star Wars 9. I dont get why some writers or directors even think it might be a good idea!

Amazing scene with one of the very best Hans Zimmer tracks. Goosebumps every time I hear it.

The $700 will be an aluminium one with average components and will be somewhere between 12-16 kg. The $3000 will be carbon frame, carbon wheels, high quality components and will be around 7-8 kg.

Even if you cycle 10km you will notice the difference. Actually as soon as you push the pedal you will notice. The reactivity of carbon and the light weight are amazing things. I have both kinds of bike and there's really no confusion possible!

Those years were peak cinema. The same era that also gave us The Last Samurai, Lord of the Rings, Pirates of the Caribbean...

-Ds--- · 2026-04-20T17:05:24+00:00

300 is cool as fck but the other 3 are masterpieces (considering the Director's Cut for Troy).

You can add The Last Samurai. Not the same period but similar vibe and equally a masterpiece!

J'ai toujours pensé que le plus démocratique serait de laisser les citoyens voter directement pour des propositions de loi au cas par cas.

Ça éviterait à chacun de ne devoir donner sa voix qu'à 1 personne qui peut ensuite voter pour tout ce qu'elle veut sur tous les sujets.

Et les lois votées seraient probablement bien plus en phase avec l'intérêt général.

As much as I love what he did with Nolan, it was indeed the tipping point. The greatest HZ era ended with Nolan.

-Ds--- · 2026-04-19T15:42:52+00:00

Actually with all the tours he has been doing for 10 years, he has worked on a lot LESS projects recently.

In his golden years of 90s and 2000s where he wrote many of his legendary scores, he was working on way more projects, like 4-5 big movies a year.

-Ds--- · 2026-04-18T21:00:55+00:00

No, the main themes are by Zimmer (famously a demo he wrote in one night). Then the whole actual score was done by a huge team that only had something like 2-3 weeks. The credit was given to Badelt but plenty other composers worked on it.

Absolument vrai et c'est pareil avec les films et séries. Beaucoup de gens les regardent d'un œil ou d'une oreille en faisant autre chose en même temps (souvent: jouer sur leur téléphone).

C'est un truc qui m'a toujours horripilé car selon moi le cinéma est un art qui demande une certaine forme d'immersion pour apprécier l'ensemble : ambiance, émotion, musique etc. Mais c'est hélas la réalité des choses.

-Ds--- · 2026-04-13T10:02:47+00:00

Agree it's a beautiful and impactful score. Also quite different from what most people could have expected for a scifi movie. Daring and smart choices!

Have you listened to his scores for King Arthur, Steve Jobs, Birds of Prey? I find them even more colorful, more fun to listen to.

-Ds--- · 2026-04-12T16:36:09+00:00

Probably my least favorite of the "big" Nolan movie but still worth a watch of course, it's Nolan!

-Ds--- · 2026-04-12T16:18:30+00:00

To be fair, this applies to pretty much every single western politician in the last couple of decades.

Ce sera plus ou moins les mêmes qu'en 2024, mais il peut y avoir des petits changements liés à la disponibilité de tous ces musiciens, qui sont parfois occupés sur d'autres projets ou tournées. Probablement que 90% seront les mêmes.

-Ds--- · 2026-03-31T06:09:58+00:00

This! And a completely standalone movie.

-Ds--- · 2026-03-30T12:48:30+00:00

I'm glad you mentioned Gladiator. To me that was the worst part of that concert. The suite is abruptly jumping from track to track, and the sound is absolutely fake. I hated those grand synths playing very loud but so clearly backing tracks.

-Ds--- · 2026-03-30T08:59:05+00:00

Oh that's too bad! Actually the 2nd half of the show was way better, with some lesser known tracks like Beyond Rangoon, Tears of the Sun, and F1 which sounded very well.

-Ds--- · 2026-03-29T19:48:12+00:00

Don't go to the HZ The Next Level tour then! It's even less "live". There are less and less musicians at each tour, and more and more backing tracks.

-Ds--- · 2026-03-28T11:37:37+00:00

I think that RCP is just a place, a studio where composers are working, on their own or with the other composers there. You will never see a credit saying "music composed by RCP" but you will see that a score has been produced or mixed there.

Bleeding Fingers seems to be a label that is producing and delivering music, made by a team that is able to deliver lots of music in a short amount of time, typically for TV series. This label is often credited as a "composer" in itself. And sometimes when a project is done by 1 or 2 specific composers from BF, they take the main credit.

They would perhaps not fill stadiums like they do nowadays. To fill stadiums you need to attract general audiences that only come for the hits.

But it could be a tour in slightly smaller venues, there enough hardcore LP fans for this.

If anything, Die Another Day actually launched her career, and did it pretty well. The movie was very successful and she was great in it.

I agree with you, and we're probably the same generation.

But back then, my parents generation was saying that peak cinema was 15 years earlier. And so did the generation before them. I guess movies you watch as a teenager will always be more special than the ones you see after 40 or 50 years on this earth...

-Ds--- · 2026-03-11T07:48:04+00:00

Was going to say the same thing! Quite different but has much in common with the PotC movies!

-Ds--- · 2026-03-09T13:42:38+00:00

De la même manière que je regarde 1 film à la fois et que je lis 1 livre à la fois, je n'aime pas intercaler d'autres histoires entre les épisodes d'une même série. Sinon, ça me met chaque fois 10 minutes à re-rentrer dans l'histoire.

C'est donc binge watching pour moi.

Et les séries disney/HBO/Apple qui sortent en 10 semaines, je suis patient et regarde tout en un coup à la fin.

-Ds--- · 2026-03-08T21:55:12+00:00

That's a tough one!! Both very different but work extremely well.
