yeah I’ve been listening to the last halves of Dial and Last Jedi along with the end credits to Fabelmans on repeat all day today. So good.

I wish Williams’ name was just as big or even bigger than the title, like a rock music artist. Don’t we buy the soundtrack for the composer more so than the film itself?

The arrangement is so good, though. I have a playlist with at least one piece from every score in chronological order. except I left out Dracula. I just can’t get into it at all. and writing this makes me think I should go back and take off Midway March. I used to really dislike Ancestral Home until I saw Prometheus. Now I like it.

I just ordered mine. by the way, I saw this wallet for sale. is that Williams on it? I haven’t seen the film but I don’t know why they would put that character on the cover if it wasn’t a mistake

Does any one have the video before a Pops Goes the Fourth concert that showed Williams and Gibson at the recording sessions, where Williams conducted the main theme with violin?

Do you prefer the original live tempo or the re recording tempo of Celebrate Discovery?

Frost to me sounded liked Williams’ We’re Looking Good theme for the Special Olympics

Well I watched it three times already. Like many on the board, I’ve been reading and watching features on John Williams since the early 80s so very little here is new to me, but it’s nice that it’s all in one place. I really enjoyed Williams and Spielberg chatting together, especially about Jaws when Williams asks him, “Well, why didn’t you say ‘no’?” It would have been great fun to have a lot more of that diaglogue back and forth. I also really liked that George Lucas tearing up about hearing the music for the first time back in ‘77 for his little space film, and I’m glad Laurent was able to extract a bit of interview from Williams about raising his family and about his Pops resignation back in ‘84. I wonder if more interviews with his family, like with Joseph, weren’t done or if they were just left out. I was hoping there was some stuff in the Extras, but I knew there wasn’t going to be any—I looked for it anyways. Which of Tom Hank’s kid was at the Saving Private Ryan recording!?? The one that looked bored. I’m glad Williams talked about film music today and the dangers of the studio orchestras running the risk of becoming extinct because of electronics.

I wish some Orchestra somewhere did Nixon to be shown on YouTube. I don’t care how crappy the performance.

Probably the same someone that made him do Heartbeeps

I wonder if Sean’s husband is on this forum. Sean said his husband knows everything about John.

I would have liked a Williams Bridge of Spies. In my history class I teach, I put General Grievious music over the U2 spy plane scene and it’s quite energetic. Ferry Scene over Pearl Harbor scene from PH is great, too!

I hope Mike looks at Leslie’s journals to see if there are any lyrics with sketches that match the Lost Boys music. and … was Dave Grusin music a temp track at any point for Banning?

Mine came yesterday, too. I’m really enjoying the extensions and Disc 3 so far.

I’m a teacher and I like to put Williams music into the film clips I show in class so I don’t get bored. I put General grievous music in the U2 spy plane crash and it worked quite well! And Reunion from Sleepers inserted at the end of Imitation Game and Stanley and Iris all throughout School Ties also was enjoyable.
