Videodrome - 1983 - Dir. David Cronenberg

First it controlled her mind, then it destroyed her body... LONG LIVE THE NEW FLESH!

Everyone always says "Howard Shore didn't have to go that hard for the LOTR soundtrack" but no one ever talks about the soundtrack for The Hobbit! Are you kidding! It's amazing! It's beautiful! It brings tears to my eyes! It's so good!

it utterly fucks me up that in the movies when frodo finishes writing the red book, the music that plays is the starting notes of the breaking of the fellowship

An incomplete list of movies where the composers did NOT have to go that hard

How To Train Your Dragon (2010) - I put Test Drive on my study playlist but I can never focus to it bc I'm too busy ascending. what is that motif and why does it do that to me. I've never even seen the movie.

Tarzan (1999) - nothing has ever affected me more than 80s pop star Phil Collins singing about a boy raised by gorillas

Lord of the Rings (2001-2003) - no explanation needed.

let me know which ones I missed lol

There's something about the piece "The Breaking of the Fellowship" that brings me so much comfort from the beginning right through to the end. The way it flows between motifs and carries you away with each member of the fellowship. The hobbits themes are just so perfect, they're earnest in their calls from home. It's like someone has taken my brain, wrapped it in the softest blanket and is lulling me into a gentle peace. Howard Shore is a genius.

A song i will always associate with the House of Fëanor is 'The Kraken' by Howard Shore.

I dont know why exactly, maybe the sense of Dread and power, maybe something else. But every time i'll listen to it i'll think of them and their deeds in the first age.

31.08.2034 - Dusting off my very much neglected musical knowledge to read Doug Adams's The Music of the Lord of the Rings Films. It's a beautifully nerdy book and gives me an excellent excuse to listen to the complete recordings for each of the films again. I'm just over half way through Fellowship at the moment and very much enjoying myself.

Currently reading: The Music of the Lord of the Rings Films by Doug Adams; Morality Play by Barry Unsworth

I can't believe I told my dad how I think the choral music in the Two Towers where the ents and the magic forces of primal nature (TM) are concerned is in reference to the music of the aínur the man looked at his feet and perfectly genuinely said 'and do you think Peter Jackson thought of that'

The Hart and Lorne Terrific Hour (1971-1972) on CBC Television employed future SNL luminaries Howard Shore, Rosie Shuster, and Lorne Michaels.

The three of them had known each other since childhood.

Howard Shore composed the SNL theme. Rosie Shuster was the first writer hired for SNL. And of course Lorne Michaels created SNL.

Happy birthday to Frodo and Bilbo Baggins! Happy Hobbit Day! 🧡🍄🌿🍃🌾

it's something I didn't notice consciously before reading it in the LOTR soundtrack book by Doug Adams, but Howard Shore's music really does have this constant breathing-like quality, it goes up and down, up and down, there and back again All The Time. now I look for it every time I listen to various fragments of the soundtrack and it's always somewhere there
