Unpopular Opinion
Welcome to the Unpopular Opinion community!
How voting works:
Vote the opposite of the norm.
If you agree that the opinion is unpopular give it an arrow up. If it's something that's widely accepted, give it an arrow down.
Guidelines:
Tag your post, if possible (not required)
- If your post is a "General" unpopular opinion, start the subject with [GENERAL].
- If it is a Lemmy-specific unpopular opinion, start it with [LEMMY].
Rules:
1. NO POLITICS
Politics is everywhere. Let's make this about [general] and [lemmy] - specific topics, and keep politics out of it.
2. Be civil.
Disagreements happen, but that doesn’t provide the right to personally attack others. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Please also refrain from gatekeeping others' opinions.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Shitposts and memes are allowed but...
Only until they prove to be a problem. They can and will be removed at moderator discretion.
5. No trolling.
This shouldn't need an explanation. If your post or comment is made just to get a rise with no real value, it will be removed. You do this too often, you will get a vacation to touch grass, away from this community for 1 or more days. Repeat offenses will result in a perma-ban.
Instance-wide rules always apply. https://legal.lemmy.world/tos/
Especially when it comes to movie soundtracks, which is his specialty. "Your So Cool" is still an absolute favorite of mine.
(Also it’s supposed to be unpopular, fellow goose)
His problem is that he mails it in for a lot of movies. A lot of his work is pretty uninspired. But he can make a good soundtrack when he wants to.
Not unpopular, he's got a ton of haters.
For me he's hit or meh. Crimson Tide soundtrack was fantastic. The Crysis 2 theme is one of the best music pieces ever. The Batman films and most other stuff - okay to eh. Dune was solid.
I actually find it surprising how varied his pieces are. Yes there are common elements and the overall style, but from era to era it differs quite a bit.
I really liked the music from MW2. That distorted bass is tattooed in my brain. Interstellar was pretty good, too. The pipe organ was different.
