@FrankYan2 Yeah, no. Both of them ranked lower than 700th in my annual rankings. Sirât was appalling.

@TheKevinDalton I mean, I could post literally thousands of photos of California that show lovely clean neighborhoods, thriving businesses, happy people, gorgeous coastline scenery. That is also Gavin Newsom’s California. Nowhere is free of problems, but nowhere is entirely terrible too.

@svorchestras @simifilmfest @katiegaribaldi @composerjoe I just found out about this concert TODAY, despite me living in Simi and me being heavily involved in film music journalism. Anyway, just got tickets, and will be there Thursday! I would have loved to have helped spread the word if I had known sooner.

With the NYT best films of the 21st century list going around, what would you list as the best film scores of the 21st century?

@TheFilmScorer I honestly don't understand that take. I have watched Social Network a few times and the score makes ZERO impact in context. It might as well not be there. I'm not talking about the album and whether you enjoy it; I'm talking about how, as actual dramatic score, it does nothing.

Love it or hate it but Reznor and Ross’s score for The Social Network was among the most impactful of the century If they don’t return to score the sequel, who do you want to step in?

@grantkirkhope @united Annoying for everyone involved. I'm a big lad - not as big as him, as you know - but I often have tall person issues. At 6'5" I sometimes literally can't sit down in normal seats because my legs are too long. Believe me, it's embarassing being on the other side of this too.

In case anyone is interested, as of today I am no longer posting on Twitter. You can find me on BlueSky, Instagram, Facebook, and via my website Movie Music UK. This profile will remain open, because you just never know, but I don't have any plans to keep it up to date.

@FilmScoreMoreYT So far, yes. The interface is mostly the same but there are significantly fewer bots, less spam, and it seems easier to block the Nazis.

Kinda bummed that the composer for Brainscan is a different George Clinton - the main motif is really good, so I assumed it was the Parliament-Funkadelic George, NOPE

I'm considering leaving Twitter permanently because of all the political awfulness, and going over to a different social media platform - I already have a profile on Threads, but I'm thinking of joining BlueSky too. Thoughts? Would any of my 2,000+ followers join me there?

@TheFilmScorer Drew being Drew as usual. His list of film music bad takes, bad faith arguments, and uninformed opinions would fill a filing cabinet.

Call me crazy but I don’t think there’s anything “political” about Mick Giacchino scoring a Star Wars show Jon Watts is one of the showrunners and Michael Giacchino scored Watts’s Spider-Man trilogy, so the connection is pretty clear. Plus Mick just scored The Penguin
