Brain Tyler's Iron Man 3 theme

Brain Tyler's Iron Man 3 theme
One of the weaker aspects of the Marvel movies are that theit hero themes aren't as strong as the DC movies themes. That's always been a problem for these movies. It seems odd because there are some good composers in that stable of movies. However, Brian Tyler has a very strong theme for Iron Man 3. It uses metal clanking on metal to give it that industrial sound and the theme is very powerful.
I also like the end titles version of the theme (Can You Dig It)
It is clearly in the same style as the 60s themes. And, I love how its edited with the 80's style end titles in the movie. Very cool.

I think the best score work Marvel has ever commissioned was the work of Henry Jackman for Captain America: The Winter Soldier. While the original movie's soundtrack had this very retro/patriotic theming, The Winter Soldier score was very dark sounding with electronic elements and it just felt big and epic (with "The Smithsonian" feeling like a callback to the first film). I think it was a perfect match for the movie.

Interesting enough, Jackman's action cues in CA2 are very similar to cues in Tyler's scores in Fast and Furious movies. I've grown to really like CA2's score because it is a hybrid of CA1's patrotic score, but also the fast moving strings of the modern action movies. It shows continuity with the older movie, which is something I have a problem with the Marvel movie's music, there seems to not be much connective tissue in the scores. CA1 and 2 however are different.

I am actually listening to the score at this moment, because you mentioned it.

It kind of has a MGS style to it.

Actually, it's really starting to grow on me as I listen to the tracks right now.

It has a retro Zimmer sound with the electronic drums and under-sounds. Zimmer really doesn't even do that anymore.

Shannon Fill: Where is she now? (Ensign Sito Jaxa)

Shannon Fill:   Where is she now? SF has been reviewing TNG seasons o ver at his blog. And, the episode Lower Decks came up. I recently watched Lower Decks on Net-flicks and found myself amazed with the performance from the young and lovely Shannon Fill , who played the character Ensign Sito Jaxa. Jaxa showed up in two episodes of TNG, actually they were two important episodes.   There was a nice arc to her character too.   Her character was killed off in Lower Decks , but there were plans to bring her back for an episode of DS9. From Memory Alpha , ((One story considered by the writing staff concerned the return of  Sito Jaxa  from  TNG : " Lower Decks ". The pitch had Sito being imprisoned under inhumane conditions and suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder.  Robert Hewitt Wolfe  developed the story for some time. Feeling that there was insufficient explanation of Sito's condition, he had Sito killing her cellmate, whom she'd become cl...

Uh, this is objectionable attire? http://abcnews.go.com/US/Travel/story?id=3571435&page=1 ((Kyla Ebbert, a blond, shapely 23-year-old San Diego coed who also works shifts at a Hooters restaurant, boarded the flight to Tucson , Ariz. , on a one-day round-trip visit to an Arizona doctor's appointment. She had settled into her seat when a flight attendant confronted her about what was later described by the airline as "revealing attire.")) ((Ebbert said she told the flight attendant she needed to remain on that flight so could make her doctor's appointment and that because she was on a day trip, she had not packed any luggage from which she could take clothes to change.)) If they got upset over this, they should come to U of L and check out the girls and what they’re barely wearing here. Come one people, she’d be sitting most of the time. Are we in forth grade and a hot woman can’t show a little skin? Now I can see them having a problem with her comin...

Madison Swan/Mia Malkova: Not so Mother's Day

I’ve written about some messed up things in my time as a blogger, but this story might just top the cake.  And, I mean really.  If you are offended by porn and the porn industry, don’t read this blog.  However, this might be one of the strangest and creepiest things I’ve seen and read about.  It just seems so wrong... A few days ago, I stumbled across an Amateur Allure (porn) video.   AA is a polished porn site that features a lot of POV shots and newcomers in the industry.   Also, there is MILF/step daughter (pretending) porn thing out there and it’s very popular.   Even AA has a few of these “fake” mother/step-daughter teams.   It is a very popular Genre in the industry.   However, this one is different.   AA had a video claiming that a fledging pornstar Madison Swan/Mia Malkova   did a Pre-Audition video with her mother tagging along…her real mother.  Mia/Madison shows up for her “audition”, which means you show ...
