Maybe if we are luckly, Varese will pick this one up, but I doubt it (It IS Disney after all)

This is yet another "re-hash" soundtrack, as just about every single track on here was featured in at least 2 other films.

Junk!

And once again, Clay, when I say "junk!", it's the situation I'm referring to (the fact that nearly all of the songs appear on other soundtrack albums), not that the songs themselves are junk. Really, though---how many times can they put "Spirit In The Sky" in a film?

Junk!

Clay G.

There have been several films in the last 20 years that have been "based on" true stories, but have had key elements altered to cater to brain-dead audiences.

For instance, did you know that in the real-life incident depicted in the 1982 film E.T., the alien was a vile, smelly beast with one eye and four ears who only spoke in curse words? He later formed a rock band named Clubfoot and toured Argentina. Whether or not he actually ate Gertie remains a mystery....

Just goes to show you, don't believe everything you see at the movies.

Edited to mention that Armageddon is science fiction. Grains of salt are to be taken. I'm talking about what happens when Hollywood takes a true life incident (vile, profanity-spewing alien eats innocent family) and turns it into schmaltz (E.T. The Extra Terrestrial). In reality, Elliot was trying to get AWAY from "E.T." on the bike. Spielberg puts E.T. ON the bike!

Well Shaun, I detest you. Just thought you'd like to know that. You really get on my phucking nerves. As for a "Based On A True Story" film, I agree 1000% with DjC. I really don't get what you mean by saying "I am not so mean in person." I didn't think your response was mean at all. But I do have a question, if a film is "Based On A True Story" and doesn't exactly follow the true story, does that mean the film isn't entertaining? Lets face it, we go to movies to be entertained and taken away from the world (at least I do). So what's the difference as long as we don't believe it and we just enjoy the movie what what's fiction and what's true. And if you believe it's all true, then you're considered an idiot in my eyes too.

I'm saying that it's wrong for studios to milk "Based On A True Story" for box office, when they are telling you a biased account of what actually happened to get you to like the characters better.

It's one thing to be entertaining, but how would you feel if you were portrayed on screen as a really nice guy who likes Jerry Goldsmith and thinks Hans Zimmer should go back to The Buggles, just because some studio head thought it would "play better"?

Hmmm.

Clay G.

See, it's already catching on!

Speaking of which, in another thread, somebody yelled at me regarding the above score. I'll say it again: it's a guilty pleasure. It's half good!

Clay, you sit in the other corner.

Both of you take a deep breath and realize that you are moviemusic.com brothers.

What would you do without each other? He? Tell me that?

Just get along gosh darn it

NP Armageddon (Trevor Rabin/Harry Gregson-Willaims)

Clay, our disagreements are usually over the fact that I believe most of Media Ventures output to be crap (Chill Factor is a good example of a truly awful score that Zimmerites go orgasmic over; I'm not SO into Goldsmith that I force myself to like Angie or Star Trek: Insurrection).

Anyway, here's a rundown as to what I like from Armageddon.

2. Harry & Grace Make Peace
3. AJ's Return
5. Leaving
7. Harry Arrives At NASA
9. Launch
12. Finding Grace
17. Armageddon Piano
18. Long Distance Goodbye/Landing

and from HGW's stuff I like the President's speech and the burn around the moon crash. That's about it, though. So, I'm not a complete *******.
