THE WALKING DEAD---executive producer David Alpert commented on Season 4 which begins on October 13, "I think we’re going to see an evolution in the walkers. There’s a whole bunch of new walkers — and we’ll see an evolution of the threat of human-on-human. Dangling the possibility of civilization will make people much more desperate and willing to do things that would have previously been unthinkable." He said the show's production office has a wall named "Our Grateful Dead" which is dedicated to former characters who were killed off. In Season 4, more names will added to the wall, "[T]here’s going to be a whole bunch of people added to the wall...The great thing about this show is that literally every character is on the table... We have no one that is untouchable."

I love how they call these guys "Visionary". What, he uses slow motion? I've seen his movies and nothing at all he's done could possibly be called visionary

Christ! Used a baby squirrel besides. Because ya know that makes the joke that much more edgier. Hey next time make a film about human baby zombies that eat ppl. Then you will really be demonstrating how clever and hip you are.
Based on all the scores to films he's scored, that I have seen or sampled. And for goodness sake -- you linked to a score, after calling us lemmings, that's composed not by Eastwood, but rather Lennie Niehaus.

Buddy, Eastwood wrote "Claudia's Theme," the cue from Unforgiven which I linked to.
And I can go on and on providing actual music for you to listen which will make your "noodling" commentary seem pithy.
I still stand by my overall thought on this message board, that most of you do not like music nor care to listen to it.
Yes, I will agree. Sir Anthony Hopkins is a fine composer. He and Mr. Eastwood have both delivered phenomenal works performing as a rare triumvirate: actor, director, and composer.

Well, I stand corrected -- he did a theme. So? The link just drives home my point. It's more unremarkable noolding, this time with orchestra backing, which only makes it even worse 'cause the orchestra clearly needs something better to accompany.
There so many talented older and newer composers out there looking for work, he should just step aside and concentrate of the things he clearly does better. Maybe hire somebody like, oh, Lalo Schifrin. Just a thought.
I'm with you, nuts. I like Eastwood's work as a composer. May not be the most complex around, but why should everything be? He does his own thing, and I respect him a lot for that.
