It's fairly easy if you think composer names; not a lot of Qs going around.    Posted:   May 16, 2022 - 1:53 AM     By:   Graham Watt   (Member) Q is one of the most famous nicknames here. It's fairly easy if you think composer names; not a lot of Qs going around. You have to read the rules of the game, Thor! Let me help - "Q once had a job in Italy." That kind of thing.    Posted:   May 16, 2022 - 1:57 AM     By:   Thor   (Member) My bad. But shouldn't there be a time when someone just confirms the right answer? I mean, you got it for "Curly".    Posted:   May 16, 2022 - 2:35 AM     By:   Graham Watt   (Member) My bad. But shouldn't there be a time when someone just confirms the right answer? I mean, you got it for "Curly". I think there should be, but the rules are a bit unclear in the initial post. Perhaps Sir David would like to clarify matters, if he deems us peasants worthy of his attention.    Posted:   May 16, 2022 - 3:18 AM     By:   Jurassic T. Park   (Member) For solved ones, I’m thinking we can do the spoiler cover like this: spoiler “Q”, did this composer get paid a fistful of money per project? Or does their rate kost too much for studios to pay? “Flop Ears”, does listening to this composer’s music elicit the reaction “Whoah”?    Posted:   May 16, 2022 - 3:47 AM     By:   Jurassic T. Park   (Member) I think we should make our own nicknames based on the composers’ popular movies or trademarks: Bill “Rocky” Conti / Bill “Funky” Conti John "Jedi" Williams Jerry Gold”synth” Bernard “Psycho” Herrmann John “007” Barry / John “Tatanka” Barry Maurice of Jarre-abia Leonard “Atonal” Rosenman / Leonard “Pyramid” Rosenman Elmer “The Magnificent” Bernstein Harold “Foley” Faltermeyer    Posted:   May 17, 2022 - 5:00 PM     By:   Sir David of Garland   (Member) “Flop Ears”, does listening to this composer’s music elicit the reaction “Whoah”? I don't understand this clue.    Posted:   May 17, 2022 - 5:01 PM     By:   Sir David of Garland   (Member) “Flop Ears”, does listening to this composer’s music elicit the reaction “Whoah”? I don't understand this clue. So I will add that "Flop Ears" is best known for his TV work.    Posted:   May 19, 2022 - 3:10 AM     By:   mark_so   (Member) a few (maybe more obvious?) come to mind: Genius Baby The Hug One-take _[familiar form of composer's first name]    Posted:   May 19, 2022 - 5:45 AM     By:   Broughtfan   (Member) Though Q's "roots" are in jazz he studied for a time with a classically-trained Nadia. Here's one for everybody: "The Fat One."    Posted:   May 19, 2022 - 5:48 AM     By:   Broughtfan   (Member) “Flop Ears”, does listening to this composer’s music elicit the reaction “Whoah”? I don't understand this clue. So I will add that "Flop Ears" is best known for his TV work. He had a good friend Herbie with whom he shares credit on a catchy, even, "whistleable" tune.    Posted:   May 19, 2022 - 1:09 PM     By:   Jurassic T. Park   (Member) “Flop Ears”, does listening to this composer’s music elicit the reaction “Whoah”? I don't understand this clue. Ok, how about another on the same theme - does "Flop Ears" think that's air they're breathing?    Posted:   May 19, 2022 - 1:10 PM     By:   Jurassic T. Park   (Member) I'm surprised Jerry Gold"synth" hasn't caught on in these boards yet.    Posted:   May 19, 2022 - 1:26 PM     By:   Scott McOldsmith   (Member) Sandy is Alexander Courage. That's all I got    Posted:   May 19, 2022 - 3:54 PM     By:   townerbarry   (Member) Gorgeous What Composer was called Gorgeous, by ALL Composers, including John Williams    Posted:   May 19, 2022 - 4:36 PM     By:   Sir David of Garland   (Member) “Flop Ears”, does listening to this composer’s music elicit the reaction “Whoah”? I don't understand this clue. So I will add that "Flop Ears" is best known for his TV work. He had a good friend Herbie with whom he shares credit on a catchy, even, "whistleable" tune. I'm thinking you've got it. Did he write the opposite of THIS BOY?    Posted:   May 19, 2022 - 6:07 PM     By:   Broughtfan   (Member) “Flop Ears”, does listening to this composer’s music elicit the reaction “Whoah”?

I'm thinking you've got it. Did he write the opposite of THIS BOY? Possibly. He also worked for a show where the actor, who was also a writer, was highly 'culp-able.' Also, if he had a theme song of his own it might have been 'Here We Go 'Round The Mayberry Bush.'    Posted:   May 19, 2022 - 8:05 PM     By:   Jurassic T. Park   (Member) Now I know who "Flop Ears" is: Earle Hagen To be fair though, one of the main hints was being a "trombonist" so I thought it was Don Davis, hence my hints about THE MATRIX (Neo saying "whoah", "you think that's air you're breathing"). But these composers in this mystery list all seem to be older composers I guess, not the younger ones, so it makes sense I suppose.    Posted:   May 20, 2022 - 6:27 AM     By:   Broughtfan   (Member) Because Aaron was busy "Beardsly" stepped in, resulting for the latter an Oscar win.    Posted:   May 21, 2022 - 5:05 PM     By:   Sir David of Garland   (Member) Because Aaron was busy "Beardsly" stepped in, resulting for the latter an Oscar win. I don't know the circumstance you're referencing, so I must ask. Is this in reference to the opposite of THE WORST SECONDS OF OUR DEATHS?     General Discussion: Film composer nicknames    << < 1 2 3 4  > >>  Go to page:  1 2 3 4   First Post    General Discussion • Trading Post • Non-Film Score Discussion  Profile • Preferences • Community Rules • Help/Contact • Search Board You must log in or register to post.   Go to page:  1 2 3 4
