you see the thing about the mythical last herald-mage television series that haunts my nightmares is that if it's bad you can't even call it a cash grab because it's a fucking obscure fantasy series published in the 80s. nobody except major nerds like me still talk about it. it will just be bad. and i cannot cope with that

#i mean unless you count the fact that vanyel is one of the first openly gay characters in fantasy but for real he is a literal who #i want to see some fucking MASTERPIECE work guys come on #it deserves a howard shore level soundtrack just btw #gonna be real if they're going to change everything about the story i would be so much happier if it just stayed obscure.#like i would trade the possibility of a larger fandom for peace of mind #notes 🫖

10 star reviews about The Rings of Power 💚

The first season isn't even finished yet and already I have recommended this show to friends and family more than any previous media. Every episode so far (5 released) have surpassed my expectations, which were fairly high going in. As someone who has read all of Tolkien's published works (some more than I'd care to admit), anyone saying that "Tolkien is turning in his grave" has absolutely no idea what they're talking about. It was always going to be walking a thin line between creative choices and already established canon, but I can see, so far anyway, that they have absolutely aced it. If the show continues to be as great as it has thus far, I can see this being one of the all time great masterpieces of TV history, and for many years to come. It's incredibly rare that I won't have criticisms of some kind, especially for something I am passionate about, and the only criticism I have of the Rings of Power is that I can't listen to the sound track 24 hours a day, because I have to sleep at some stage. Bear McCreary has written a masterpiece worthy of being pinned up on the wall with Howard Shore's work from the Lord of the Rings.

🧝

Don't listen to the negative reviews. Some people have an idea of what something should be in their own mind. I too have read mostly all of Tolkien's books. You form a world in your mind from those words. It's yours it's personal. This show is Magnificent. It's a big bold dive into Middle Earth. Beautifully filmed and acted. The first too episodes are structured in a way to set a scene for the multiple storylines for multiple characters which as the series progresses will merge in to one common fight against the darkness. It's absolutely fantastic and if you don't watch it because of someone's snobby 1/10 then you will be missing out.

🧙‍♂️

I can't believe people who are giving this such negative reviews. Who cares if it's not the way you think it should be portrayed because of your version of what you think you read from his original works. It is fantastically entertaining, incredibly well shot and produced, and while the story lines were slow to get rolling, and I don't necessarily think that some of the characters lineup with how they were portrayed in the Lord of the Rings movies later, it really doesn't matter. These are NEW. I can't wait for each episode to come out, I look forward to watching these every week, and I would love to be able to see all of them in the theater. The first two we saw through a free preview, and I wish I could watch every single episode on a huge screen! Enjoy them for what they are.

🏹

This is the first prequel I have ever seen that was not a disappointment. I love the acting, the faithfulness to Tolkien's vision, the use of reworked ideas/themes/dialogue from the Lord of the Rings, and the compelling worldbuilding. It is important to remember that this is an interpretation, not an adaptation, as this story is based on timelines in the Appendices to LOTR and not on Tolkien stories. Therefore, the showrunners had to invent story arcs and characters to flesh out the story. If they had note done this, then the show would be boring and empty. They did a great job filling in the gaps and told a story that I have already rewatched many times.

🧝🏿‍♂️

I almost didn't watch because of other reviews but I've learned to not even pay much attention to them. This feels just like Lord of the Rings to me. It could actually be its own movie. The acting is great, the scenery and graphics are amazing. I've been hooked and entertained since the first episode! Can't wait to see more.

🗡️

I was putting off watching this for a while but one night I couldn't find anything to watch and I put this on and now I'm glad I did. It's the first thing I look forward to after a long day of work. I think the plot is fantastic. I read a review that said they didn't know where the plot was going but how can you not? It's very easy to follow. I'm in love with the series already.

I am blown away by the quality of this production. There is nothing like it. Although it is not an original story written by JRR Tolkien, it is an interesting one; an important backstory.

Although the story unfolds slowly, like in most series, it has a decent amount of action and suspense. Watch it and indulge yourself in Middle Earth. And about all the criticism... This is my take: To me, there are two Middle Earths. (1) The original one that you have imagined when reading the books. (2) The world created by John Howe, Alan Lee, Peter Jackson, make-up artists, actors, etc., etc. This series fits right into the later one and does it justice.

🍂

Don't believe those fools who are giving bad ratings and negative reviews. I don't know why so much hate for this show. I'm so obsessed with this show right now and have watched all the six episodes non-stop and wanting more soooo badly. I mean the acting, the scenes, the dialogues and above all the VFX are soooo beautiful put together that will make your mind blown by this masterpiece. I've really enjoyed and didn't look away for a second while watching. It really took me to the place where I couldn't have imagine in my dreams. Please guys stop giving the bad ratings and reviews to a show like this one. This show deserve all the love and not the hate. We all should appreciate the work and efforts put in this show.

🔮

I think this prequel was beautifully done. The visuals are stunning, and story is excellent. There is a very satisfying last episode of season 1. I'm excited to see more. I had no problem adjusting and accepting the younger version of known characters, specifically Galadriel and Elrond. I think the acting and writing felt true to Middle Earth. I'm a fan of the books (Hobbit, LotR and The Silmarillian) which I read before the movies were released. I'm thrilled to have new Tolkien inspired material even if it's from the imagination of someone else, it is brilliant and a wonderful addition to the Middle Earth lore. There seem to be too many of the instant gratification society who were too impatient to wait for the payoff. Looking at the dates of many of the reviews is frustrating seeing that people couldn't reserve judgement until 10/14 after the season could be viewed as a whole. People have become to used to being able to binge a new show in a few days and not have to wait and dwell over what might happen and the new information presented in each episode. It has been exciting to see it unfold week by week. I'm glad for the return to this method of releasing a new series.

listening to “the departure of boromir” by howard shore (as one does) and it is of course a masterpiece but i think the best part of it is when the somber tragic musicality interrupts itself with the instrumental equivalent of “WHATS THIS??????? ARAGORN WITH A STEEL CHAIR!!!!!!!!”

#thus ensues all time iconic brawls in cinematic history #phil reads lotr #this is not in the book. but it is in the book in spirit #lord of the rings

Lauren Bacall in To Have and Have Not (Howard Hawks, 1944)

Cast: Humphrey Bogart, Lauren Bacall, Walter Brennan, Dolores Moran, Hoagy Carmichael, Sheldon Leonard, Walter Surovy, Marcel Dalio, Walter Sande, Dan Seymour. Screenplay: Jules Furthman, William Faulkner, based on a novel by Ernest Hemingway. Cinematography: Sidney Hickox. Art direction: Charles Novi. Film editing: Christian Nyby. Music: Franz Waxman

Beatrice and Benedick. Rosalind and Orlando. Viola and Orsino. "Slim" and "Steve"? Why do I think of To Have and Have Not in terms of Shakespearean romance? Does this most enjoyable of movies have anything in common with those grand predecessors? It's all Howard Hawks's doing, with a little bit of help from screenwriters Jules Furthman and William Faulkner. Hawks had done this sort of romance before, in his comic masterpieces Bringing Up Baby (1938) and His Girl Friday (1940), but leave it to Hawks to see World War II (and Ernest Hemingway's "grace under pressure" fiction) through the lens of screwball comedy. And to do it with the movies' most famous tough guy, Humphrey Bogart, and an unknown 19-year-old actress who had her name changed from Betty Perske to Lauren Bacall. And to treat it all as a semi-musical, with Hoagy Carmichael at the piano. Blood is shed and causes are espoused, but nobody takes it terribly seriously. Instead, Bogart and Bacall surf through the film on some of the best dialogue ever written, working out their fine romance as deftly as Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers ever did on the dance floor. Walter Brennan adds another memorable figure to his impressive gallery of old coots, and Marcel Dalio brings the kind of charm that might threaten to upstage lesser performers than these stars. It's certainly not a perfect film: Dolores Moran (clambering from shore to ship in heels) and Walter Szurovy are rather tediously noble as the de Bursacs. (Watch the bit when Mme. de Bursac faints and spills the chloroform and Bacall's Slim, sensing a rival for her Steve's affections, casts a stinkeye on the fallen form and intentionally fans some of the fumes in her direction.) As the Vichy police captain, Dan Seymour seems to be trying to do a Sydney Greenstreet impersonation with the worst of all French accents. And does anybody really believe that the odd company that sails off at the end to rescue a Resistance fighter from Devil's Island is going to succeed? But no matter. It's all the stuff of which legends are made.

National Film Score Day

Melodies weaving emotions, enhancing cinematic narratives—immersing listeners in the unseen, a symphony that tells untold tales.

Recognize and show appreciation for the musical masterpieces that have accompanied some of the most amazing stories on film by celebrating National Film Score Day!

History of National Film Score Day

Film scores are the music behind the film that doesn’t include any vocals. This musical accompaniment ushers the viewers into the story, usually before the dialogue even begins, setting the tone for the moment and then moving the story into the scenes that are to come. This is a special type of musical composition that requires a great deal of talent and incomparable skill.

Founded by Jeffrey D. Kern with the purpose of National Film Score Day is to highlight the talent and skill of the amazing composers who write scores for films. The date was set as a nod to the release of the film, The Jungle Book, on April 3, 1942. A year later the score, written by legendary composer Miklós Rózsa, became the first ever score from a non-musical film to be released as a commercially recorded soundtrack.

National Film Score Day brings to the forefront the composers of this incredible music, celebrating and honoring their notable contributions in people’s hearts and in the industry at large.

How to Celebrate National Film Score Day

Show some love and appreciation for those who create seamless transitions in films through the music they compose. Enjoy celebrating National Film Score Day with some of these ideas:

Watch a Film with an Incredible Score

One of the best ways to give heed to National Film Score Day is to begin by paying more attention to the musical compositions that accompany movies. While they contribute so much to moving the story along, they often go unnoticed. In honor of this day, however, it’s time to notice those film scores!

Consider watching one (or many) of these films from recent years with excellent scores in honor of this day:

The Social Network (2010) with composers Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross. This film score was a first try for these band members of Nine Inch Nails and turned out to be a huge success, winning the 2011 Oscar for Best Original Score.

The Shape of Water (2017) by French Composer Alexandre Desplat. With a score that was intentionally created to create the sense of immersion and floating, this one won the 2018 Academy Award for the Best Original Score.

Titanic (1997) from composer James Horner. Reaching into the backgrounds of the story’s characters, this score brought a unique composition to the theme of this tragic story.

The Lord of the Rings (2002) by composer Howard Shore. Epic in just about all of the ways, this fantasy film is a feast for the eyes and the ears with its triple Oscar-winning score that features at least eighty different themes and motifs. [look at my pics]

Research Some Film Score Composers

Most film score composers spend a great deal of time behind the scenes. But National Film Score Day offers an ideal opportunity to bring them into the limelight. In celebration of this day, perhaps it would be fun to do a little research about a favorite film composer and then share the findings with friends or on social media.

"The Lord of the Rings: Arguably the Best Trilogy of All Time" (Review)

"The Lord of the Rings" trilogy, directed by Peter Jackson, is a monumental achievement in filmmaking that has firmly established itself as one of the greatest trilogies of all time. With its breathtaking visuals, captivating storytelling, and a richly crafted world, this epic fantasy series continues to resonate with audiences even years after its initial release.

One of the most remarkable aspects of "The Lord of the Rings" trilogy is its ability to faithfully adapt J.R.R. Tolkien's beloved novels while adding its own cinematic brilliance. Peter Jackson's attention to detail and dedication to capturing the essence of Middle-earth is evident in every frame. From the vast landscapes to the intricate costumes and meticulous production design, the trilogy transports viewers to a world of unparalleled beauty and grandeur.

At the heart of the trilogy lies a compelling narrative that effortlessly blends adventure, heroism, and the timeless battle between good and evil. The characters, brought to life by a stellar ensemble cast, are impeccably portrayed, allowing the audience to form deep connections with their struggles, triumphs, and personal growth. From Frodo's unwavering determination to Sam's unwavering loyalty, each character's journey is emotionally resonant and inspiring.

What sets "The Lord of the Rings" apart from other trilogies is its meticulous world-building and attention to detail. From the iconic Shire to the treacherous Mount Doom, every location feels alive and contributes to the overall narrative. The visual effects, both practical and digital, seamlessly blend with the practical sets and stunning cinematography, immersing the audience in a fully realized Middle-earth.

Additionally, the trilogy's musical score, composed by Howard Shore, is a masterpiece in its own right. The haunting melodies and epic themes enhance every scene, evoking a range of emotions and further elevating the film's immersive experience.

While some may argue that other trilogies have made a significant impact, "The Lord of the Rings" stands tall as a monumental achievement in the world of cinema. Its influence on the fantasy genre and popular culture as a whole is undeniable. The trilogy's ability to captivate and inspire audiences of all ages is a testament to its enduring legacy.

In conclusion, "The Lord of the Rings" trilogy remains arguably the best trilogy of all time. Its unparalleled blend of stunning visuals, compelling storytelling, and memorable characters continues to captivate and inspire audiences, making it a cinematic masterpiece that will be cherished for generations to come.

Listening to the Star Wars Rebels Seasons 1 and 2 soundtrack is like watching the series at 500x speed and it hits just as hard, if not harder than watching the show. Why? Because now the music is isolated and one's (my) brain is conjuring the images that go along with it, so one (I) can better understand and appreciate the sheer mastery that went into the making of the soundtrack.

Like, why didn't anyone tell me that Blinded and Kanan's Mask (S2 OST), when Kanan and Ahsoka are battling Maul—to save Ezra from a dark fate—incorporates the iconic Duel of the Fates theme? Which played the last time Maul faced off against two Jedi?? *gargle foam froth*

I never picked up on that when I was watching the show because I was too visually distracted by what was going on—omg wtf bbq Kanan vs Maul! Kanan's blinded! Maul's gonna get Ezra nooo! I was too busy howling at my TV like an animal while dangling from the living room ceiling fan to pay attention to music. (Although that's a good sign that the music is doing its job, complementing without disrupting.)

Where the Sun Sails and the Moon Walks and It's Over Now (last two tracks on the album, basically the last few epic minutes of "Twilight of the Apprentice pt. 2") was so powerful that all I could do was bellow "fuuuck! fuuuck!" at my computer screen over and over again.

I'm supposed to be working on art :1

Anyway, expect an in-depth musical analysis of Ezra's Theme soon.
