What do you guys think about movies that utilize licensed music? Whether they be songs you recognize from modern times or something more obscure from decades ago. Do they hurt a film's timeless factor? Can the worst and most popular song from today be put in a film for a surprisingly positive effect? If so, how will future generations view this film with a "dated" pop song?
This scene is "Reservoir Dogs" illustrates my question. It's the most memorable scene in the film and the song itself is somewhat well known, but not nearly as much as hundreds of other songs. I think this scene has remained timeless for the past twenty or so years, but this could just be a good example of utilizing licensed music to its fullest effect.
A bad example would be the song "Gone, Gone, Gone" they used in "The Amazing Spider-Man 2." It was cringeworthy and screamed of some desperate attempt to stay "hip" and "relevant" in our present day. No one will look back on that scene or that movie with fond memories.
TL;DR: What do you think about licensed music in film? Is it good or bad? Should movies strictly stick to orchestrated music and original scores or can licensed music be used effectively, even moreso than orchestrated music would allow in the right circumstance? Does licensed music hurt a movie's "timeless" factor and/or is it irrelevant when used correctly?

It's what made Malcom in the Middle very distinc, and gave it the sense of being more like Film.
so licensed music is something that STILL only really happens in Film properly.
I mean LAyered Cake is one of the best uses of it, and pretty much made Craig into Bond.
There's something about using music that makes a movie a time piece.
I think we've learned that using the pop song of the day like with the 90's teen movies is a bad idea. That being said, movie scores are better then ever.

I see what you're saying. I actually recently watched the first season of Malcolm in the Middle and agree wholeheartedly. It remains a dated timepiece, but it completely enhances the setting of the show taking place in the late 90s-mid 2000s. Future generations won't recognize the music and might even despise it for their own reasons, but the music will still work for the sake of immersion. Plus the show will always be damn funny.
I also agree with the use of music in the Bond films. The intro songs that so many musicians have created solely for the film franchise are not only a staple of the series, but seem see it as an honor to be able to write a song for the next Bond film.

I've seen a whole documentary about the title songs for bond, I think it was done by ranking of best to worse songs. It's interesting greatly, because the songs are such a staple of the culture.
Just wanna say Spectre was terrible and the intro was terrible. After the last 3 movies had some of the best intros in any movie. It's funny not many movies really have intros... it's nice to see that tradition stick.
You know the reason they didn't have John McCarthy do another opening title song for bond movies is because: They didn't ask him. I dunno why.
Is there anything he can't do?

She's attractive. If I had lived in that world, I'd try to befriend her and then anally rape her when she rejects my advances. But only because it's the apocalypse.

Now that the ashes have settled, what does /tv/ think of this film?

>>68797684
it's better than most other fictional films on the subject. Manages to portray the horrors of the holocaust without needlessly reveling in the suffering like some kind of torture porn. The cinematography served the story well. This thread will devolve into /pol/ nonsense and nothing will be discussed regarding the major themes of the film.

Why do the plebs like it THAT much? I think it's fucking terrible, and I like most of the popular TV shows.
Do I need to be American to like it or something? Well, anyway that's 50 hours wasted I will never get back. Last time I'm falling for "It's REALLY popular, so it must be at least watchable" meme.
The 1st season was really good. I hated Jesse. Walt grew into a fedora. Mike was great. Saul was good too until he got that lame and boring spin off show.
>not being American
fuck off
Breaking Bad is the only tv show that has put me into a self induced panic for the characters in the show, show in and show out. I think it's one of the best shows ever created, from the direction to the acting, to the story, it just gets intense.
