Acquired the Transformers movie score yesterday. Huzzah for iTunes.

More movies need to release the score on albums alongside their 'music from and inspired by' CDs. Way, way back when, I came out of Mission Impossible thinking I wanted the soundtrack. I found it in a nearby store. I bought it- and went 'wait, WAH?' when I opened the CD and realized the whole damn thing was songs I didn't actually care about. I like the theme music to movies infinitely more, most of the time, than I do the vocal stuff. And I really don't care much for the 'inspired by' tracks they shove on these things to attract buyers who're into bands who couldn't even be arsed to play in the background of unimportant scene #23.

This score? Totally rocks.

Movie to be purchased once I have assembled as many parts as possible for the building of a proton pack. (A costume pack, thank you... geez...)

In other news this is shaping up to be one of those mornings where the prevailing sentiment in my head is 'I'm awake. This should count for something.'

The final scene still freaks me out.

[camwyn]

Of which, Mission: Impossible?

[innerbrat]

No, Transformers.

Unless Mission: Impossible also ends with the protagonists going at it on top of a sentinent vehicle, while other sentient vehicles look on with the air of watching monkeys shagging in the zoo.

Not that I remember, but then, I didn't get the special edition.

OT3, FTW!

And you might find this (http://saesama.deviantart.com/art/Transformers-LUV-BUG-60311748) amusing. ;)

That reminds me, one of these days we have to have Foxtrot meet Ecto again now that she can shake hands.

And I should probably make an icon of that botmode!Ecto image, too.

OMG OMG OMG the Transformers score is out? Yaaay! Now I don't have to keep listening to the little clip they used in the Burger King commercial over and over and over again.

It's been a bit hard to find in shops in the States, from what I'm told, so like I said, I went iTunes. It's on amazon.ca if you can't find it in a store up there.

Agreed - the score totally rocks. I think the last soundtrack I acquired with anywhere near this depth and impressiveness to it was Lord of the Rings. I wonder if Steve Jablonsky was in any way familiar with Transformers before he took the job of scoring the movie? Because I will swear that the "Optimus Prime" track sounds like it's a love composition to the character....

I'd put the Pan's Labyrinth soundtrack in the same category, although I think Howard Shore probably has Javier Navarrete beaten on points in a few categories.

I have another score by Steve Jablonsky, the score to Katsuhiro Otomo's 'Steamboy', and I'm going to go out and say that he does his research before starting. Steamboy is lovely and Victoriana (being it's Britain just before WWI when it takes place), and the music fits the setting.

If he wasn't familiar with them before the movie, I'm sure he went out and GOT himself familiar.

That was my first thought during that scene too. Fandom has so destroyed my brain. XD

I absolutely adore movie scores, and I was so disappointed when I came out of Transformers dying to hear the "Arrival to Earth" piece again and all they had was the thing with the rock songs on. Needless to say, I pre-ordered the score the minute Amazon had it up. It's just absolutely gorgeous.

SWEET. Thanks!
