I have set up a Go Fund Me page to collect donations from the film score community that I will send to them. Here is the link if you are interested in helping out: https://www.gofundme.com/GerhardFire

Reviews a few overly sentimental third-act scenes ... make extra use of John Williams’ immediate score Another excellent score comes to us from John Williams The story is adequately dramatic without ... John Williams's overpowering score, thank you very much. Most of Spielberg’s crew have worked with him for a number of years, including the legendary John Williams. The composer, working under a time crunch, comes through with another top-notch score–this one feels restrained but comes through in a strong way when needed. John Williams' score is quite good. The combination of the adventurous Spielbergian lens and a dynamite John Williams score jazzes up the most mundane newspaper conventions, from a copy editor striking words with a red pen to trucks rolling out with first editions. If only the same heroic anthems accompanied the writing of a movie review. John Williams’ horn-heavy score (creating either tension or heroic awe, as needed) Spielberg can’t help but turn The Post into a “message movie.” He rises to our current moment on stilts, with a megaphone and a swelling John Williams score. he notable score was provided by the legendary John Williams

Yay! Right in time for St Nicholas' Day. In Poland you receive gifts on this day. Karol

Of course they won't take the risk of shipping your Titanic.

I vont to know. Tell me. I vont to know!

Alright....I'm gonna hold off making a thread for now but strange things are brewing on Reddit. Somebody posted these pics: And APPARENTLY that person claimed this is the tracklist: Admin Note: Jump HERE to confirmation this tracklist is real

Ohohoohohohoho guys, just imagine the feeling while TLJ Main Title is ending and what awaits us (I'll have goosebumps): from 1:23

Yeah I got goosebumps just reading it. I feel this score is going to be amazing!

Qui-Gon's theme.

From the USA Today review: " The combination of the adventurous Spielbergian lens and a dynamite John Williams score jazzes up the most mundane newspaper conventions, from a copy editor striking words with a red pen to trucks rolling out with first editions. If only the same heroic anthems accompanied the writing of a movie review."

"The Dialogue" is such an integral piece of the musical storytelling for me. I understand not everyone feels that way, though.

I think it's a pretty normal thing for people to look for appreciation and acknowledgement. Doesn't matter whether you're 8 or 85. Is it really so hard to accept that for Williams awards can be an important thing, even if it's not the driving force behind him writing music?

I'm taking a hiatus from JWFan and internet browsing in general until release. I started 3 days ago. I'd hardly call a leak lucky. It was especially shitty for TFA as the intial negativity decreased my excitement for the film and score and all of the youtube leaks were low quality half-tempo rips.

He has said repeatedly that as long as he is able, he will work.

I doubt it will be his final film score, though it will probably be his last score for a Star Wars film.

I tried doing one out of the IMAX poster a couple weeks back, but it still needs a little work.

Joy of joys! I sing Alleluia!

Nah, JW's 85 is like an ordinary mortals 65. His brain and endurance is top notch and he is so revered by the suits that he gets to review all music from projects he isn't attached to if it deals with Star Wars music. Gordy Haab said all music for Battlefront II had a six week review cycle which included 2 weeks for the game developers, 2 weeks for Disney, and 2 weeks for John Williams if he wanted to review any of it. He is still very much involved in any detail he cares to weigh in on.

Unobtrusive?

Instead of hoping it's fake, you should be hoping you won't be weak another time, when the real tracklist will leak.

I really really hope it's fake, not because of the contents, but because I looked at it.

Close Encounters of the Third Kind by John Williams. The new set, of course. Might not be his most popular score but it certainly might be his greatest musical achievement in the art form of scoring films. In fact it's among the finest pieces of 20th century symphonic writing. Karol

Haha, wait, you chastise members burning CDRs because they’re not current, but yourself use winamp??? I could be totally out of sync with the PC community, but... Man! I’ve not used winamp since the end of the last millennium!

He reposted the track list an hour after some other guy posted it first

Why would someone post pictures of the CD, but then make up a fake track list?

Everyone's favourite LaLa Land employee sent mine yesterday. I expect shipping to take another week or so.

LOL, I thought you meant my predictions.

Williams recorded it with the Boston Pops in 1980. Here's Kunzel with the Cincinnati Pops

Great question. Qui-Gon's Funeral would be cool... so would Qui-Gon's theme! I always loved that theme and wished it was used more. I know a lot of people here would have liked a concert version of Tintin's theme. I wish he would have released Irina's Theme and Window to the Past on their respective original albums. But at least concert versions do exist. The same goes for Jedi Steps I suppose, although Lockhart's recording is satisfying.

It is very common for composers to derive a theme from another theme made for the same "assignment", in order to create a feeling of unity.

Yes much like

Nuff said! 100% confirmed. It's the same theme!

I don't know if I will listen to any leaks but I will listen to the OST on release even if I haven't seen the movie yet.

Good bump, looks like a lot of vintage film reviews were re-published with the release of Force Awakens. LA Times, Charles Champlin New York Magazine, John Simon Variety, A.D. Murphy The Guardian, Derek Malcolm The Hollywood Reporter, Ron Pennington

Pushes my buttons too.

Williams has repeatedly said he will continuing composing until he cannot, and he has said he is always excited to do a film that speaks to him. Unless we are disregarding what he has told us, why would we think/speculate otherwise?

I've seen exactly two films that I thought benefited from the 3D experience...Avatar and Gravity. I thought they were both incredibly immersive watching that way, but both lost a lot for me watching in 2D at home. They worked in 3D because they were designed pretty much to be a 3D experience. Otherwise, I think it's a distraction.

Sauced you brah, check your PMs.

Someone take the Rent meme from Spider-Man and change it to last Jedi soundtrack?

I'm not sure why the moderators aren't doing anything about this thread.

You need help mstrox. Immediately.

Wow, that cave is straight out of Lord of the Rings!

But why is selling relevant here? Home Alone contains well-known Christmas carols, I'm sure they didn't cost a fortune. Was that song never present on any compilation... ever?
