What, specifically, makes Bride of Frankenstein the best and better than the Exorcist? If I ever saw BoF it was a looooong time ago so I don't remember, so I'm genuinely interested.

Philip Glass is a minimalist composer, he is one of four main composers that created that entire way of composing, Reich is one of the others, calm down - my statements aren't that big of a deal, and were conversational. Humans use logic lazily in general discourse - yes even you, Bertrand. Meaning can be and is still effectively conveyed. HOWever, your run-on sentence:

"You make the statement there are no composers using orchestral score in film today and when I provide you with the names of four that are, you dismiss them by saying I don't like one because he did a score I don't like and another I prefer a different composer that doesn't do films scores to him."

Shows you need to calm down and read more slowly next time. I only dismissed Horner, and then agreed with you about the others - because you brought them to my attention. I don't know or care how this could be a problem.

My original statement was wrong? Name a modern film that uses analogue equipment to record an orchestral score that doesn't derive it's music from other (old and dead) composers. I would really like to see such a film if it's out there - I was just saying how I liked that about NOTLD, that's all, there was nothing else to follow through with there - I don't hear that in other films, I liked that about NOTLD, end of story. You mentioned other composers that you think did that, so that's cool, I appreciate that, I have no idea what the problem would be otherwise. People like Horner and Williams (and probably Shore sometimes) lift passages directly from Stravinsky, Strauss and Holst (just to name a few) for almost every film they've done. In fact if it wasn't for The Planets many film composers would have to find another source to take from. I also really like Jerry Goldsmith, he's great.

We're talking about movies here, most of them bad. I'm not going to care how sloppy my thinking is, I'm not performing brain surgery, sorry.

Uhhh... Neverending... You know I've fucked with a few newbs in my day. However he's got a point. You're both trying to prove whose virtual horror dick is bigger than the other. So, Newb get out of the newb forum and go post!

Wait just one goddamn minute. I always stands up for my peeps. Now Neverending has been around here for a long time, and you can't come around and get all up in his face. So you chill. It's all good. We're not fighting. We're just discussing horror movies.

Oh, and I happen to aggree with you about the Exorcist. From its tiniest nuances, it is the absolute best bar none.
