Today I learned that the Hotel Mario intro music is taken from the score of the 1933 film adaptation of Little Women by none other than legendary Hollywood film composer Max Steiner. This is my new favorite piece of lore I am never shutting up about this

Max Steiner

Years ago I emulated a SNES game called Doom Troopers, which was my introduction to the perennially obscure Mutant Chronicles universe, a Swedish franchise that never really escaped the long shadow of Warhammer 40,000 or gained widespread popularity outside of Europe, though there have been numerous attempts to do so, such as a digital revival of the 90s-era Doomtrooper trading card game.

����💀👱‍♂️

This is Bauhaus trooper Max Steiner, who was one of two playable characters in the SNES/Genesis game. He and the other PC, Capitol trooper Mitch Hunter, frequently appear in other adaptations- even the comparatively low-budget movie version, though completely lacking their signature armors. I opted for a look closer to Max's official art and tabletop minis while keeping the outlines of his guns from the game.

Mentre il tempo passa

Max Steiner (10 maggio 1888 - 1971): Suite sinfonica dalla colonna sonora del film di Michael Curtiz Casablanca (1942). The John Wilson Orchestra. Com’è noto, Mentre il tempo passa, cioè As Time Goes By, non è opera di Max Steiner: il brano era stato composto, testo e musica, diversi anni prima da Herman Hupfeld (1894 - 1951) per il musical Everybody’s Welcome, andato in scena a Broadway nel…

A great documentary about a genius who defined the art of scoring films.

Suite to Casablanca (1942) – composed by Max Steiner; performed by the John Wilson Orchestra under the direction of John Wilson

Performed at the 2013 BBC Proms at London’s Royal Albert Hall, Max Steiner’s score to Casablanca remains one of the enduring film scores in the medium’s history. This suite begins with the opening flourish of the Warner Bros. fanfare (composed by Steiner himself), almost never used today. Set to the would-be romance of Rick Blaine (Humphrey Bogart) and Ilsa Lund (Ingrid Bergman) as they are reunited by fate, the score is centered around the song “As Time Goes By”. “As Time Goes By” was not an original composition, but from a mostly-forgotten Broadway musical called Everybody’s Welcome.

Steiner reportedly disliked “As Time Goes By” and told Warner Bros. (this was a time when the cast and crew of a major studio movie were contracted to a studio) that he wished to do an original song instead. His requested rejected, Steiner took it in grace and – keeping with what happens in Casablanca – never allows “As Time Goes By” to resolve when quoted in his score. Perhaps the quintessential Hollywood romance, Steiner’s score is flush with romantic lines for all sections of the orchestra (strings especially) and other musical quotations referencing Rick and Ilsa’s past, including the French national anthem, “Le Marseillaise”.

Casablanca was nominated for eight Oscars including Original Score (Steiner; losing to Alfred Newman for The Song of Bernadette), Film Editing (Owen Marks), Black-and-White Cinematography (Arthur Edeson), Supporting Actor (Claude Rains), and Actor (Bogart). The film won three Academy Awards on the night: Screenplay (Julius J. Epstein, Philip G. Epstein, and Howard Koch), Director (Michael Curtiz), and Best Picture.

"F1 is being ruined by weird people"

May I introduce you to, once again, the people who work(ed) in F1 and it's feeder series?

Weird camera angles, genuinely almost kissing, pictures with little to no context, Kimi's Lego car with oranges as wheels, questions all around, it all checks out.

Max Steiner: Maestro of Movie Music

Diana Friedberg’s MAX STEINER: MAESTRO OF MOVIE MUSIC (2021, TCM) is clearly in love with its subject. That’s a good thing when the film presents a thorough survey of his career, from Vienna to London to New York and finally Hollywood. It also covers a great deal of his scoring work, both his innovations as a film composer in introducing leitmotifs to the form and his ability to reinforce the mood of a moment through his music. In addition, it offers insightful looks into the history of movie music, from the earliest attempts to provide accompaniment for silent films to the arrival of sound. At times, perhaps, it overstates his importance. The narration gives the impression that Steiner and Steiner alone was responsible for generating pathos for the title character in KING KONG (1933), even as film clips show just how expressive Willis O’Brien’s model animation was, and for molding the performances of leading players like Bette Davis and Humphrey Bogart. A bigger flaw is the use of montages of clips from films like GONE WITH THE WIND (1939) over a single music cue from those films, which can disguise just how effective those cues were in conjunction with the scenes they scored. But the expertise is there, and the interviews are astute. You even get Michael Feinstein explaining chord progressions as he plays them and singing snippets of the songs derived from Steiner’s scores. It’s a deep and mostly satisfying dive into the life and career of one of the screen’s greatest composers.
