Thor would rather be scored by John Williams, Elliot Goldenthal, Danny Elfman, or, if at all possible, Clint Eastwood.

Based on the previous collaborations between director and composer, I have great anticipation for "Thor". But I do get a sense of 'sameness' about certain aspects of Doyle's epic scores (particularly the ones you've mentioned, CK).

I'm still disappointed this this has not been advertised as William Shakespeare's Thor!

Well according to "Ben Burtt's" Facebook fan page (which I presume isn't run by Ben Burtt) a CD release is planned for Cars 2, but obviously this can only really be marked as a rumour for now. But it so, it makes Disney's "policy" (if such a thing even exists) even more baffling. Yes, Cars 2 will contain two songs (if this is correct), so maybe that's why there will be a physical release, but Toy Story 3 had two songs too and they got released on a seperate CD with other Toy Story Songs rather than the score album getting released. Or maybe that is what will happen here? Oh, I don't know! I just still find it frustrating that Up and Toy Story 3 didn't get CD releases, especially as a Giacchino collector since the Medal Of Honor scores and a Randy Newman fan who has everything released commercially on CD (except Pleasantville, I'll get around to it soon!), both his scores and his song albums.

Still, I'm certainly not complaining about Thor getting a CD release! I'll take them when I can!

PLEASANTVILLE is a beautiful score, one of the few by Randy Newman that I actually want to keep.
Just finished watching THE PRINCESS AND THE FROG, and I found most of the music unmemorable.
Sometimes, Newman can be sublime, but, most of the time, he just churns out pop tunes, long on rhythm and short on melody.

The music is definitely Doyle, I hear flavors of DEAD AGAIN, HAMLET and other past scores in it, which excites me no end.
It's just weird to hear him writing with such deep instruments, high strings are such an iconic part of his style. But if losing them was the price we/he had to pay for a score that wouldn't be rejected, as he makes clear in the video interview, it was worth it.
Love the theme, can't wait for the album. Hope it's a full 80 mins (with apologies to our own THOR, who doubtless would prefer a 40 min version

JNH's scores for the green superheroes are pretty high on the list too, as well as a few of Zimmer's scores (especially, the Kung Fu Panda sequel).
