We got it wrong. We should make a "non-boycott" list of people who aren't assholes yet. It would be way shorter, and we would remove people when they become so fucking stupid and arse-licking that they have the idea of reworking the national anthems of shitholes such as saudi arabia.

    Don't sweat it. I love Hans Zimmer but after what he did to my car, I can't wait to hear the bizarre shits that will be the new anthem.

    Zimmer was hired by BMW to make acceleration and engine noises for their "i" line of EVs. What they got was the sound of robots whining and having orgasms. I had to disable the sound on mine.

    I would add Elton John and Tom Hanks, but if I look too deeply they may secretly be British Nazis working for the Queen to overthrow the American government...

    It might be an unpopular opinion, but it doesn't make him a monster. His reasoning for it is that he doesn't want to cause more harm.

    Locking people up isn't right either but he is entitled to a point of view

    Sure it doesn’t make him a monster. It isn’t going to make me stop loving his music. But it does make me question his judgement.

    He’s an addict, so he needs to avoid things that may trigger his addictive habits. He talks about weed leading to worse drugs. But not everyone is an addict.

    I’ve been using weed for like, fifteen years. Have never been tempted to try anything harder. Most people I know who partake are the same way. Making weed illegal because addicts might go on to try harder drugs is ridiculous in a world with alcohol in it.

    🎵 …and the bone saw’s red glare

    the screams filling the air

    the sawing of limbs

    and the blood everywhere

    O say does that bonesaw in hand yet wave?… 🎵

    Sad to see a great composer who really doesn't need the money, take money from a brutal suppressive dynasty to make something that will make said dynasty look good

    Even Eminem went dick riding and sucking saudi dictatorship for money. Jennifer Lo went stripping in her mid 50s there, + so many othera as well. 99.99999% of Hollowyood celebs and influencers turn into cheap spinless hypocrite sellout money whores when offered a saudi check

    From what I can tell, it seems like he takes credit for most of the work of his protégés. See: the DaVinci Code Soundtrack, for which he only wrote the main theme, or the Pirates of the Caribbean soundtrack, for which... You guessed it, he only wrote the main theme.

    I would be down for a national anthem that sounded like a movie trailer. Opens with BWAAAAHMMMMM. Then another. Then narrator in a grisled and wise voice starts in, "We're not a good country. We've done horrible things." BWAAAAAHMMMMMM!
