I would nominate 2008 Hulk for the worst Marvel title if only because I can remember virtually nothing at all about it. It's a hole in my head, like trying to remember what I ate for lunch 2 weeks ago.

I only remember this video.

Oh, and Michael K. Williams' weird cameo (apparently part of a larger scene with some lines that got cut).

I liked Fury from Winter Soldier, but it mainly stands out because it's not a generic orchestra song.

It's probably not that loud in the actual movie, especially since you have Sam Jackson shouting and guns being fired.

Beyond it being a cello and a fiddle respectively (I think) I couldn't tell you what they were. I do recall really liking Interstellar's soundtrack, but I can't really recall most of it either.

Not that any of it is bad or anything, it just doesn't stick.

If you watched it in the theater you'll definitely remember "Stay". They turned up the volume for the final minute and half of that one, it got LOUD.

They had a deaf composer for a while that was not deaf and not actually composing:

I like his Ant-Man cameo because it adds something without making him the focus of the scene.

So the cinema I frequent has a 15 minute "unique IMAX 3D preview" for Dr Strange called Expand Your Mind next Tuesday. It's free and you get a poster afterwards. I think that's the first time I've seen a marketing event like that happen there.

Not that I'm going. I'm looking forward to the movie, but I'd rather not spoil myself any further at this point.
Edit: It's at 18:00 too. I guess they're hoping people will line it up with an early evening showing of a different movie?

Both Professor X (McAvoy) and Magneto (Fassbender) are background characters it in as well. That series is seriously a who's who of huge stars over a decade later.

I feel that Black Hawk Down has a similar thing going on. Every time I've re-watched it there were actors I suddenly recognized from later movies/series (for example Nikolaj Coster-Waldau AKA Jaime Lannister from Game of Thrones). You almost feel sorry for the ones that still haven't had a breakthrough role.

This. I don't think I ever have been happier about a series getting cancelled. I don't loathe the people involved, that is just a thing that should have never been more than a failed pitch.

The best was all the poo poo idiot fans gave Square for releasing Final Fantasy on the 360 in addition to the PS3. Because they dropped $599.99 on a PS3 on launch day because FFXIII was announced for it even though it was obviously not going to come out on anything for several years. Square somehow "betrayed"them by releasing the game on the filthy American game console and not exclusively for their chosen glorious Japanese system they dropped $600 on.

Pff, just $ 600? That is  l i t t l e m o n e y

Thank you. To this day, that is the only movie I've ever seen that has a graphic sex scene involving a pulley and lever system.

I think Charles Dance's mechanical pirate in Space Truckers had a similar theme going for him, but he got cock-blocked (maybe even literally, it's been a while since I saw that movie).

And Maria Bello, and William Hurt. I remember at the time thinking it was weird that Hurt got an Oscar nomination for what's basically a cameo, but man he is so powerfully off-kilter in that one scene that he deserved it.

I'm still amazed that "how do you gently caress that up?!" didn't became some kind of internet meme in the years after its release.

Despite being clever, I do agree that Zimmer's stuff isn't very hummable. Most of the new artists over the last couple decades have been de-emphasizing melodies and instead emphasizing "textures." There's a pretty good video by Tony Zhou where he blames a lot of it on an over-reliance on temp music, and a counter-argument that says temp music isn't really to blame because composers have been using temp music since forever. Whatever the cause is, we're stuck in a trend where most movie music has unintelligible melody and I'm personally not a fan of it. Gimme a Superman tune that I can hum, a hummable Star Wars theme, a hummable ET theme to make me cry! Hell, even if it's not exactly hummable, gimme some songs with clear melodies that I can easily follow along with my ears!

I almost feel like Michael Giacchino watched that Tony Zhou video before composing the Doctor Strange soundtrack* because it uses the same theme over and over again. Is it still a leifmotif if that's the only motif you've got?

*Technically not possible because there was a month between the video and the movie's release.

And yeah, Elfman is perfectly capable of making a generic action score, so it's not like the new music will be a clowncar of gloom & whinsy.
