Paid Members DJ Kris Posted August 6, 2011 Paid Members Share Posted August 6, 2011 Any word if John Williams iconic music is being incorporated into this reboot? God I hope so! That music for me has become as synonymous with Superman as the S on his chest! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Carbomb Posted August 6, 2011 Paid Members Share Posted August 6, 2011 Any word if John Williams iconic music is being incorporated into this reboot? I know this might seem as nit-picky, but this is valid: it's not "iconic", it's "anthemic" - iconic is visual, anthemic is aural. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Chest Rockwell Posted August 6, 2011 Moderators Share Posted August 6, 2011 Total aside, but it actually kinda bothers me that a lot people say "don't be so anal, you know what I meant!" to shit like that. I'd prefer to be corrected and improve my vocabulary a bit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members FLips Posted August 6, 2011 Paid Members Share Posted August 6, 2011 Just comes across as bellend-ish to me. Fair enough on spelling and that, but something so pointless as that just comes across as "Look at Carbomb, the human dictionary" to me.

Paid Members Rob Lowe Posted August 6, 2011 Paid Members Share Posted August 6, 2011 I'm liking the costume although the hair kinda reminds me of Gary Oldmans Dracula. Like the suit, but he has the hair of a young Paulie Walnuts. Looks horrible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fair enough on spelling and that, but something so pointless as that just comes across as "Look at Carbomb, the human dictionary" to me. Someone used the word "trolling" incorrectly in On-Topic yesterday. He was corrected. Would you say the person who corrected him was being a bell-end or "Look at me, human dictionary"?

Would you say the person who corrected him was being a bell-end or "Look at me, human dictionary"? Completely different context. Iconic is a word that people use regardless of aural, visual or whatever else. It might not be correct but it's generally used by people in other contexts. That trolling example was someone just using the wrong word in the wrong context. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Carbomb Posted August 6, 2011 Paid Members Share Posted August 6, 2011 (edited) Completely different context. Iconic is a word that people use regardless of aural, visual or whatever else. It might not be correct but it's generally used by people in other contexts. That trolling example was someone just using the wrong word in the wrong context. You're talking about general usage; by this token, people who correct anyone who uses "would of", "could of", "should of" are being bell-ends. Why is it OK to correct one and not the other? And I wasn't doing it to be a bell-end or show off, by the way. There's nothing wrong with correcting grammar or vocab usage if you're not doing it specifically to belittle somebody, and I wasn't.

Paid Members Duke Posted August 6, 2011 Paid Members Share Posted August 6, 2011 I actually didn't know that "iconic" was purely visual. I intend to use "anthemic"in real life. Ta for that Carbomb, you learn something every day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paid Members lambyUK Posted August 6, 2011 Paid Members Share Posted August 6, 2011 Personally, I knew that iconic referred to a visual or a characteristic. However, I have used the term to describe a track before, and that certainly includes John Williams' Superman composition. Anthemic, whilst correct in the literal sense, doesn't feel grand enough when describing a track like this. I think the best way to make it work is that the opening credits as a visual along with the track is a iconic sequence. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's always felt grand to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
