Author	Topic: Nominees for new poll: Best Blockbuster Score (summer 2004)

PeterK FishChip	Have all the most-anticipated big summer BOFFO scores of 2004 been released by now? The next poll will ask for your favorite summer 2004 score. The floor is open for nominees. 5 options will be selected.

franz_conrad Standard Userer	Just to actually make it a choice, why not... ETERNAL SUNSHINE OF THE SPOTLESS MIND (Brion) Noone ever talks about it and it was the only film released with the intention of getting big box office that was actually worth seeing at all. However, I can just see the poll now reading... The Day after Tomorrow (because Kloser refused to let his music get excited by it's abysmal visual accompaniment and this is credited to... restraint) Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Zelda (Williams - well, you can't really complain about Williams) Hellboy(Robot-thief Beltrami mixes leitmotifs with great flair - long live Trevor Jones!) Troy (Horner - w/ a few Yared lovers - myself included - insisting that Yared's should be counted) Van Helsing (Silvestri - because Silvestri fans lost their hearing when The Mummy Returns came out and really don't know how hard a listen this noisome but fun album is) [Message edited by franz_conrad on 06-16-2004]

justin boggan Standard Userer	I assume by 7 you mean your own PK. So I votye yours. I haven't seen enough movies or heard enough scores this year to make my own picks. I guess I'll just throw in The Chronicles Of Riddck.

franz_conrad Standard Userer	With a second set of nominees - and I'm doing this get some competition in here, not because I've actually heard these: The Terminatrix (Williams) Around the World in Eighty Minutes Spiderman II: The Wrath of Alfred Molina (Danny Elfman) I Robot (Robot thief Beltrami strikes again) The Incredibles (rumors of John Barry's death may have been premature, but it still won't change the fact that he isn't scoring this) .... and with that we just about run out of summer blockbusters... there must have been something else...

MWRuger Standard Userer	I think there may be another contender after Spiderman 2 and The Terminal comes out, but until then I would nominate: Harry Potter 3 Chronicles of Riddick Hellboy Van Helsing Day After Tomorrow

Lancelot Standard Userer	I recently read that Troy was among the more sucessful films of the summer to date, so if that makes it a blockbuster, then that sounds like a good choice. Harry Potter inevitably seems like a good nominee for summer blockbuster status as well. Many other potentials seems either too much like spring releases, or have not been released as of yet. The Day After Tomorrow does have the trappings of "blockbuster film", though it doesn't have the blockbuster flash-bang. I certainly hope this doesn't add to the "retarded" level in here.

MWRuger Standard Userer	I thought we were just talking about the scores, not the films themselves. It could be a great score for a potential blockbuster that phizzes (Day After Tomorrow). I thought that he Troy score was okay, but the stink of "what might have been" is too strong to include on my list.
