This week Alex and Brad delve into the plethora of film score Main Titles! What happened to the five minutes before a film started? Did studios decide our attention span was too short? Alex and Brad briefly discuss the loss of the full opening main title, with credits, and of course bring up their favorites from the past. Film score listeners wait to hear that main title, but the norm now is to go with no main title. Why? As Alex says, it is the best parts of the whole score as a suite and it sets the audience up for what is to come! Alex and Brad also talk about some newer choices that have really made an impression. They compare three different versions of the Batman main title, they talk about the main title to the more recent The Spirit, composed by David Newman. A poorly reviewed film, but an excellent film score. That inevitably leads to David Newmans score to The Phantom from 1997, a similarly reviewed film and similarly excellent score. Along the same lines as American Beauty, Alex brings up Carter Burwells score to the dark comedy Fargo. Brad brings up Howard Shores female lead centered Silence of the Lambs, while Alex counters with his score to much more friendly film Big, which Shore also scored. Main titles to films have become scarce recently, dont you think? No?! Well, let us know what you think!
