The Music From The Films Of Jessica Alba Post.

This series of posts has a problem, in that I'm restricted to only including music that's been commercially released... which is really annoying in the case of the wondrous Jessica Alba. It means that the terrific themes from the '90s Flipper (there were two) are off-limits, as are David Newman's score for Never Been Kissed, Joel McNeely's work on Dark Angel (although the opening ditty gets a look-in, even if the only episode of either season to give it a respectable airing is "Love Among The Runes") and - less regrettably, it has to be said - anything from Robert Rodriguez's Machete. But do not think the Alba's most frequent collaborator will go unrepresented...

1. Idle Hands Theme - Graeme Revell (3:05)
2. Dark Angel Theme - Public Enemy and MC Lyte (3:07)
3. Sin City End Titles - Robert Rodriguez (3:16)
4. Fantastic Proposal (from Fantastic Four) - John Ottman (2:17)*
5. Four In One (from Fantastic Four: Rise Of The Silver Surfer) - John Ottman (3:04)
6. Rain (from The Eye) - Marco Beltrami (2:42)
7. Guru Vindaloo (from The Love Guru) - George S. Clinton (2:55)
8. Valentine's Day (from Valentine's Day) - John Debney (2:32)
9. Enemas, MIG Fighter and Andi Garcia (from Little Fockers) - Stephen Trask (1:07)
10. Spy Mom (from Spy Kids: All The Time In The World) - Carl Thiel and Robert Rodriguez (2:29)

To make up for the latter two, here are two videos.

Hopefully the next one in the series won't have these problems...

*Technically this comes from both films, as it was tracked into the sequel as well.

The Music From The Films Of Scarlett Johansson Post.

Since Scarlett Johansson is the oldest of the women in this series so far at the ripe old age of 27, and since many of her movies (the gorgeous, pouting Scarlett rarely does scripted television with the exception of her Robot Chicken appearances - and the pilot for the TV version of The Client) have had soundtrack releases, we've got the longest disc so far. Not included in this lineup: North, Home Alone 3 or My Brother The Pig (thus preventing the inclusion of a pre-Lost Michael Giacchino). Also not included is David Julyan's The Prestige (because it's boring), or any of her Woody Allen films (especially Match Point - I resent films where hotties I like get killed) as he hardly ever goes for original scoring. But if I can get any of her songs here, I will...

1. Rhythm Of The Horse (from The Horse Whisperer) - Thomas Newman (3:16)

2. The Trial Of Ed Crane (from The Man Who Wasn't There) - Carter Burwell (3:52)

3. Theme from Ghost World - David Kitay (3:59)

4. Spider Mania (from Eight Legged Freaks) - John Ottman (2:06)

5. Are You Awake? (from Lost In Translation) - Kevin Shields (1:35)

6. Griet's Theme (Reprise) (from Girl With A Pearl Earring) - Alexandre Desplat (4:19)

7. Daughter Like Mother (from A Love Song For Bobby Long) - Nathan Larson (2:05)

8. The Amalfi Theme (from A Good Woman) - Richard G. Mitchell (4:08)

9. I'm Psyched (from In Good Company) - Stephen Trask (2:50)

10. Send In The Clones (from The Island) - Steve Jablonsky (4:30)

11. Men Who Feed On Others (from The Black Dahlia) - Mark Isham (4:24)

12. The Other Boleyn Girl: Finale - Paul Cantelon (2:10)

13. Enter Silken Floss/Octopus Kicks (from The Spirit) - David Newman (1:34)

14. Last Goodbye (from He's Just Not That Into You) - Scarlett Johansson (2:32)

15. Black Widow Kicks Ass (from Iron Man 2) - John Debney (2:11)

16. We Bought A Zoo (from, well, We Bought A Zoo) -  Jónsi (4:21)

17. I Got A Ride (from The Avengers) - Alan Silvestri (4:00)

Next up, another pouty sexpot however much she denies it...

The A Conversation About Soundtracks With A Sane Person Post.

(References to wrestling and Chuck from other participants edited out. Link to Victoria Justice not edited out, obviously.)

InThe313: That ash cloud still there?
Me: Since Stephen Lang from Avatar's in the country, I'd say no.
Damn, that volcano erupted bigger than I expected. What's he doing in the UK?
Promoting the DVD/Blu-Ray release of said movie (selling like hotcakes, needless to say).
Can't blame the buyers.
I'd rather get this, to be honest.
You gotta go deep into the Internet to find that.  
Not that deep; it's a legitimate release.
I thought it was rare and hard to find. 
That was a promo. This is a legit commercial release and long overdue. Especially after NCIS managed to get TWO double-disc albums.
When did this come out?
Literally a few hours ago.
I didn't know that.  
That's understandable; you're not a soundtrack fan (or on Intrada's mailing list for new releases).
JAG or NCIS? (And) you're right, but I know a good one when I hear one.
I've seen more episodes of JAG than NCIS although over here NCIS is the Rhoda to the parent show's Mary Tyler Moore (i.e. has had a more successful FTA run).  
I was too young for JAG when it started and ended, but it was a good show, And Katherine Bell, meow!
It should have come out long ago, but Paramount has been very tight with its releases music-wise until they got a new music head.
But NCIS is smart, adventurous, and funny at times.
(I always preferred Andrea Parker; never understood why she was replaced after the pilot. Maybe she was too sexy for some NBC suits.)
How long has Paramount been looking for a head, eight years?
(Or not, given The Pretender.)
What's The Pretender?
I don't know... I do know that since their new music executive arrived some OSTs have come out fans have been begging for for years - Airplane!, Black Sunday etc.
There was never an Airplane! soundtrack?
NBC series about a guy who can pretend to be anyone he wants to be; ran for four years.
Evil: Victoria Justice on iCarly. 
No, there wasn't. Not at the time (and not legally).
*THUD!* Well somebody call "Weird Al" Yankovic and get him on that project!
Nice and tight. A bit late; the Airplane! CD came out late last year via La-La Land. Already OOP.
Well, damn! What do you think about AC/DC doing the entire Iron Man 2 soundtrack?
(Aside: Why was I not informed until a few minutes ago that Victoria Justice and her hot little body are in the UK?) Not really the entire soundtrack, for two reasons.
Don't look at me, I didn't know. Not the whole thing? I call false advertisement.
1. Angus and co. seem to have basically given us a Greatest Hits collection rather than scoring the thing (a la the Grateful Dead on the '80s Twilight Zone). And 2. There is actually a proper score to the film from Jon Favreau regular John Debney (you can hear clips on the film's site and it's getting a release via Sony Classical, which I find pretty ironic).
What's so ironic about it?
It features rock guitar. On a label with "Classical" in the title. (Apologies to the rest of you for being sidelined, by the way. You now know how I feel when you guys are talking about wrestling or Lost.)
That is what I call irony.
