Hall of Classics>The 10pm thread (archived)

The big anti-hijack thread.....
Talk about anything, but if this works than we don't have to keep looking around all the threads to see who is still on tonight, and every night, or even every day! Talk about the chiefs, talk about tomorrow, talk about football, politics or even how to do flooring and the applicable budget. What you're drinking, how hard it is to sleep, etc. Every thing is acceptable in this thread.....

Tonight is a groundbreaking night. It is the night, I learned, that all I need to do is find a way to earn enough money to waste it all in heinous pursuits like prostitution and gambling.

A TOAST, to all of you Chiefsplaneteers.

A toast.

I'll drink to that.

I just went out and ran 3 miles in the pitch black while listening to the soundtrack from The Dark Knight.

I AM THE BATMAN

Seriously, a dog chased me. It was thrilling.

Alright girls, calm down!!! :-)

I met with the composer of the new series yesterday (wish it was me but alas, it's not).

The first 30 minutes of the new movie was originally episode number one. Since no one was interested in animated Star Wars (it's not Sponge Bob or The Simpsons? Forget it!), George decided to do a movie first, to get people involved in the series (this isn't unprecedented: Battlestar Galactica & Buck Rogers did the same thing in the 70's. But without additional material).

So the first 30 minutes was the first of 24 but the next hour plus was all new. So the entire series was adjusted. And after that TNT came on board and bought the pitch. There's a full season in the can and they're planning on 100 episodes, at least (the composer was hoping for 400!).

Anyway, the music I heard was awesome. Actually, mind-blowing. Without going into the pain-staking, grueling detail as to how he was hired (and I know that most people think Hollywood is easy - well, it may be for Eva Longoria but the rest of us schlubs have to work 16 hours a day in hopes of pleasing someone - seriously, it's major work and stress), I actually kinda felt sorry for the dude.

For about 2 seconds! He flies to the "Ranch" every week to meet with George and the 90 piece orchestra was recorded in Prague. Rough life :-)

Anyway, the action is amazing, the music is definitely "Star Wars" and there's a few new characters that are very interesting. I get the feeling that this series may please "Star Wars" fans more than the prequels. Though of course, YMMV.

I've got more, but I'll share later :-)

Wow, that's great that they're using someone fresh and new instead of John Williams. I'm tired of his recycled stuff.

I may actually watch the cartoon show now. I wasn't gonna but if the music is that good....I'm up for it.

More interested in the live action show of course.

No mention of the live action show.

There was an enormous amount of work (and at spec, actually) just for the animation series. There was absolutely no guarantee that any network would buy it, especially at the price (which I can't reveal).

And FTR, the composer told me that he spend his entire budget on musicians - he's not making a penny.

The association with LucasFilm and Lucas is so strong that it's worth losing money.

But I'm telling you, Dude, I'm hard to impress. And this really, really impressed me.

Yeah if it's good enough he'll get tons of work off it.

He's not well known, I take it?

He's freakin' HUGE.

3000 hours of television and film.

THAT'S how insane a gig with Lucas is - people do anything and everything to get a chance to work with him.

As much as he's hated on the internet...
