Author	Topic: DEAD POLLS ARE ALIVE AT MM.COM

PeterK FishChip	Hey, we're all about dead polls. The current horse-racing poll is dead. There is a photo finish for second place... but who the heck cares about second place? The next poll will either be a poll on the best score of summer 2003, or the best damed horror score ever (pumpkins are already showing up on porches out here). What will it be? Cast your nominations for finalists in whichever poll you think is most appropriate as we head into October.... Tanks.

Dinko Standard Userer	Horror score.

Marian Schedenig Standard Userer	Since we've all run out of poll ideas years ago, what about this: Make your polls multiple choice trivia questions, something that's film music related and really hard to find out. Then after a few weeks, post the solution and start the next round. At least I like the idea.

PeterK FishChip	Ok. Horror it is. Since no one's into recommending finalists, here's the poll: Best ever horror film score? 1) Dentist 2) Dentist II 3) House 4) House II: The Second Story 5) Night of the Demons 3 Go!

jonathan_little Standard Userer	Something by Benny. Psycho? If people need help jogging their memories (horror scores aren't my favorite,) visit the IMDB Power search. Enter your favorite composer in the cast/crew box, then choose the horror genre and watch the magic happen. NP: Moross via Crapophonic™ [Message edited by jonathan_little on 09-30-2003]

cawriter Non-Standard Userer	I'll go for the horror category but, geeze, what's a horror poll without Psycho, The Mephisto Waltz or one of the Omens?

John Zimmer Standard Userer	How about some good horrow scores there Pete? I haven't even heard OF any of the those scores. Although I'm not a huge Horror score buff don't ya know it. I was thinking like, (a) Psycho (b) Alien (c) Predator (d) The Relic (e) Dreamcatcher Something along these lines seems more appropriate. Just my two cents. Jz

jonathan_little Standard Userer	This poll clearly requires at least two Hans Zimmer scores.
posted 10-01-2003 08:01 AM PT (US)

Jeff78 Standard Userer	A) The Omen - Jerry Goldsmith B) Polterguist - Jerry Goldsmith C) House on Haunted Hill - Don Davis D) Mimic - Marco Beltrami E) Interview with the Vampire - Elliot Goldenthal Jeff

Marian Schedenig Standard Userer	And where's Christopher Young? Eh?

Alexborn007 Standard Userer	Omen should definitely be on there. I'm not sure about Alien or really recent like Dreamcatcher. NP- Back To The Future ('The Libyans')
posted 10-01-2003 11:12 AM PT (US)

Pete M Standard Userer	Blatently should be horror. How about the following?: Psycho The Omen Bride of Frankenstein Suspiria Halloween Although that's missing out the likes of (Horror of) Dracula, Bram Stoker's Dracula, Friday the 13th, Don't Look Now, Poltergeist, Alien, Mimic, Hellraiser, Nosferatu, Silence of the Lambs, Alien3, Interview with the Vampire, Mary Shelley's Frankenstein, Exorcist II, Stendhal Syndrome, Black Sunday, Rosemary's Baby etc. Any of them could be worthy choices.

PeterK FishChip	Ok, now you guys get it! It is tough to narrow down... I should think 6 or 7 will make the final list, 4 being Zimmer scores (aren't ALL Zimmer scores considered horror scores?).

Ken S Standard Userer	By the way, when speaking of polls: What about a poll for the "Best Theme Park Attraction Music by a Movie Music Composer"? Here are some extremely good examples: 1) Ellen's Energy Adventure (WDW, EPCOT) by Bruce Broughton 2) Phantom Manor (Disneyland Paris) by John Debney 3) StormRider (Tokyo DisneySea) by Mark Mancina 4) Buffalo Bill's Wild West Show (Disneyland Paris) by George Fenton 5) The Timekeeper (WDW, Magic Kingdom) by Bruce Broughton 6) Space Mountain DLP (Disneyland Paris) by Steve Bramson 7) Honey, I Shrunk the Audience (WDW, EPCOT) by Bruce Broughton 8) SpectroMagic Parade (WDW, Magic Kingdom) by John Debney etc. Regards, KEN who, by the way, spends next week in Paris and Disneyland Paris

Pete M Standard Userer	Oh. Even though my suggestions are pretty close to the final shortlist, my top two choices are currently both losing.

Camillu Standard Userer	Suggestion: "Best Sea-faring score of 2003" a) Sinbad - Legend of the 7 Seas b) Pirates of the Caribbean c) Master and Commander [d) Finding Nemo]
posted 10-30-2003 02:04 PM PT (US)

PeterK FishChip	Camillu, here will be the results of such a poll: 01% Sinbad 99% Pirates of the Caribbean 00% Master and Commander 00% Finding Nemo Sinbad gets 1% because a lot of people don't read polls... but click on the first thing they see.

PeterK FishChip	Okay, it's October 1 and a new month. Seriously, September 2007 was one of the busiest months of my entire life. New poll will be up within a day! Thanks for hanging in there. Quitting a site because it has an old poll is a pretty lame excuse anyway

nuts_score Standard Userer	Someone quit because of the lack of polls? Seriously? And I understand you can be a busy guy; I'm just giving you a hard time FishChip.

PeterK FishChip	LOL... well yeah. Some seriously sensitive types are out there. "Out there." New poll is up - have fun seeing what the bigger world thinks after 1000 votes are tallied.
