Author	Topic: FishChip wants YOU!! New polls!

PeterK FishChip	Ok peepos and peepas, Time for some new MovieMusic polls. Give me some good ones, I am serious. Real tough ones, preferrably with no more than 3 options to choose from. The users need to be more involved in this site, and coming up with poll ideas doesn't cost a dime. I have loads of polls scratched down here and there, but I figure you guys might have other interests when it comes to polling. But, maybe not. Let's see, shall we? Be honest, be brutal, whatever.

Al Oscar® Winner	quote: Originally posted by TimT:Jerry Goldsmith was not an option, and whats wrong with Joel Goldsmith? I think Jerry is much more talented and qualified to produce an appropriate score for JP3 than his SON. But he's not an option, so perhaps I shouldn't even bother. Maybe I'll vote for one of the available options, such as John Williams, even though Don Davis is currently scoring it in his place. Nah. I'd vote Morricone. He's the second best behind the unfortunately absent Jerry. There are some good poll ideas here though. The Goldenthal poll by John Dunham and a few of Hal's are pretty nifty. NP: Goldsmith's "Papillon"

jonathan_little Oscar® Winner	I shouldn't... but I'm going to anyway. Why does Ford Thaxton suck so much? He forgot to take his meds He needs to find the source... He's gobbling up the world's supply of FishChips. He loves to rip us off with $20 promo albums. Ford Thaxton? Isn't that the guy who produced fantastic-sounding CDs like "The Ransom/Chariman" from LP and cassette sources? [Message edited by jonathan_little on 04-27-2001]

How about best score for a Ridley Scott film? The Duellists (Blake) Alien (Goldsmith) Blade Runner (Vangelis) Legend (Goldsmith) Legend (Tangerine Dream) Someone to Watch Over Me (Kamen/Vangelis) Black Rain (Zimmer) Thelma & Louise (Zimmer/Mancina) 1492 (Vangelis) White Squall (Rona) GI Jane (Jones) Gladiator (Zimmer/Gerrard) Hannibal (Zimmer).
