Generic butt rock is not a score.
Who seriously green-lights a $210 million budget on a board game? WHO!

You're right, not enough inception horns.

If it did, at least people would remember something from the score.

Woah, guys; I seem to have entered an alternate universe wherein xaosslugg doesn't make the Box Office threads and the 360 shot of all the Avengers gathered was actually justified and "awe-inspiring".
Crazy, I know!

Not the biggest fan of Inception but the score was great and probably one of the most memorable in recent years; leagues ahead of anything to come out of a Marvel Studios production for sure.

This thread uses Box Office Mojo, so it has my allegiance.
A hundred movies uses it these days. It all becomes a mash of noise. With transformer robot sounds mixed in. Can't distinguish one track from the other.
You are just reinforcing DM's point. Stop digging this hole further, mang.

Dude. Enough already. We get it: You don't like the movie.
But how can that be when his avatar says Whedon is better than Cameron!!!

Why are there 2 threads?
xaosslug's horrible puns are the expected now.

You put more stock into this discussion than need be. It's inconsequential, I don't mind if I'm not 'winning'. I like the Iron Man ost, and it seems pretty popular on youtube, though of course the amount of views isn't necessarily an accurate metric.

Whedon is better than Camerons' last two films. That doesnt make him good though.

I actually really like this theme. And it went awesome with the CG end credits.

Pretty sure most everyone who frequents the OT knows about that bet. I heard about it in at least 3 different threads.

Keep making the thread, you are the best we all love you.
Battleship bombing, Dark Shadows bombing, John Carter bombing, Pirates of the Caribbean bombing last year... Nice to see that American audiences have some amount of taste.
Of course, that'll change when MIB3 comes out next week, but we had a pretty good run.
Doesn't change the fact that Inception was the one to do it first, and most memorably. It at least it had something worth copying in it.

The original Alien did it 30 years ago.

I see you're a member now, congrats!
?
I've seen Aliens twice and don't remember anything similar.
Unless you consider the fact that it uses horns prominently in its score to be Inception-like.
And let's face it, it's not like composers/producers/directors suddenly rediscovered Alien and started all copying it for movies the past few years.
You make the threads. End of story!
Alien did the whole "BLARGH!" sound in the trailer like a lot of trailers do now. The Transformers films also did it in the trailers and films before Inception. It's not something new pioneered by Nolan.

This is the main thread. I´m not sure why the other guy made the BO thread, since xaosslug makes it every Sunday.

don't just roll over like a bitch
be a man and defend your territory. box office threads are yours, and no one will take that away from you unless you let them. come on xaosslug....fight.
Haha, touche. Though to be fair, Steve Jablonsky, a protege of Hans Zimmer, did it first. Not surprising since there have been rumors before that Jablonsky helped Zimmer out with a lot of his scores.
And no the usage gained momentum after Inception, not after TF movies.
Wouldn't one say the usage gained momentum after Transformers since those were the first two to use it pre-Inception? I know GAF loves Nolan and Co. but it's not like his movie pioneered the most over-used and downright annoying sound affect in trailers. That damn horn has become the dubstep of movie trailers.

Nah, dubstep has become the dubstep of movie trailers.
They used a bit of electric guitar! The horror!
I hate the term "butt rock" by the way, its usually how K-Pop fans describe all rock music on the internet. I have seen people call Led Zeppelin butt rock, its ridiculous.
They updated the poster this morning.
