Awww...an unbiased opinion!

I wasn't sure how many saw this posted on the Yahoo groups, but someone sent the link and text to me, and I had to made sure the word got out. This is fantastic. And I love it that it (hopefully) came from someone that isn't a fan. *g* Just someone who recognizes what sounds to be a very good flick. So in the midst of my excitement over 300 (and ( Read more... )

Mmmmm, Russell reprising the Cort Look. I can deal with that. :D

Oh good. I was worried *g* you didn't see it at the movies. Glad you did -- I liked it too, and a nice change for him as well.

I posted about it here. Rereading the post, I am reminded I was thinking about getting the soundtrack! I shall have to revisit that. :)

Going to read your post real quick before I head out. I can't remember if I read it before or not, I'm so incredibly behind on things! And I liked the soundtrack too!

Huh, apparently the soundtrack release doesn't have all the songs from the movie. Foo. I may have to go cherrypicking around iTunes' music store to see if I can find 'em all!

Well, that's odd. I thought it would. I haven't checked iTunes yet, so let me know. I wouldn't mind having it myself if I can get everything.

It seems to be random sometimes whether a movie soundtrack will have all the music, I think. And part of it may also involve whether all the music in the movie will fit on one disc. Part of it may also be whether the movie folks have the rights to release the various songs on a disc, I guess--I don't know if different rights would be involved with that, vs. just using the song in a movie.

I noticed that iTunes was selling two versions of the Casino Royale soundtrack, for example. One version was the version that matches what's on the CDs sold in stores. Another is the special "digital" version of the soundtrack, which includes a lot more of the incidental music snippets from all over the film. Yet in neither version did they actually include the song played over the opening credits, "You Know My Name". I bought the extended digital version of the soundtrack, and then also had to hunt down and buy the single, which was getting sold separately by the dude who performed it.

I think you're right. I know I've purchased soundtracks (or scores) expecting to hear a piece or two that I really liked, only to find that it wasn't available...and was later released on some "additional" CD. *sigh* I keep thinking that on the 1989 Batman with Keaton and Nicholson, there were two CD releases. One had nothing but Prince's original music written for and inspired by the movie. The other had the orchestral score by Danny Elfman.

It's "weird" how they do this stuff with soundtrack releases. I just downloaded Tyler Bates' 300 and Philip Glass' The Illusionist soundtracks from i-Tunes. I noticed, however, on 300 that there were two editions, and the only difference I could see was that one had an extra track that may have been over the end titles. And if you wanted that one, you had to purchase the album. The other version had everything in the movie...but that final track. Since I was using some i-Tunes credits thanks to my Avis car rentals (5 free songs with every rental), and you can't buy an album with those, even if ( ... )
