No. Just...no.

I'll amend and re-upload with the prequel ones. Jedi with less colour saturation and the prequels.

It was blue until relatively late in post production (even in the trailers I think) and I heard somewhere the change to green was made so it would show up better against the sky in the Sarlacc fight scene. TPM and AotC price also fell on Amazon UK. By the time they come out, they'll all be 4 Pounds!

Everything.

The entire Harry Potter movie series Titanic Avatar Ready Player One Bridge of Spies

I've made these because I hate those Disney ones so much.

It’s all well and good discussing the library of movies John Williams has scored over the years - but what about the films he hasn’t? Which films do you think would have been improved if JW had scored them? My opinion on this matter is that the rest of the “Potter” films would’ve been much improved with a score by Williams. what do you guys think?

It just feels generic to me, Trajan at least has some character. A single LP from 1983 with much information crammed onto it is different from a special remastered CD rerelease. Thank Eru for Amazon preorder keeping the lowest price then!

I've always liked Padmé's buns

Photoshop Which font do you think would work better? i'll try it out. Yes, Darth Vader was spoiling the aesthetic, he's a big feature on 3, 4 and 5, I didn't think anyone would miss him. Return of the Jedi was the most difficult to adapt due to the posters available.

The Lost World is my favorite JW score.

I'm kinda surprised there has not been a discussion topic about Ludwig Goransson's score to Black Panther. For those who have seen the latest chapter in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, what was your impression of the score? I feel not only is Black Panther another fantastic entry in Marvel Studios' repertoire; it is a little more than that. Black Panther is a history-making film in the way it presents itself, from the characters, cultural influence and iconography, to the story. I was amazed, not just as a fan of Marvel Studios, having seen all the films since the beginning with Iron Man, but as a film enthusiast in general. The score adds to this as well. Ludwig Goransson's use of African instrumentation and chorus combined with traditional western orchestra makes it stand out. I was also fond of his use of techno beat and rhythm in combination with brass, string and choir for the character of Killmonger. T'Challa's theme is the definitive highlight of the score. I was amazed at how much research Goransson put into crafting the score, even going to South Africa to look into the music. One of my favorite tracks is "Wakanda." That vocal solo by Baaba Maal gives me chills. The images that accompany the track in the film are phenomenal. Ryan Coogler and all involved really made a great film. Anyway, those are just some of my reactions to Black Panther.

Yes, the few times I've been in an environment with loud music, the volume is insanely loud, such that I couldn't stay in the room without putting ear plugs in (or trying to - my ears don't like invaders). I don't understand why.

My vote is Ready Player One. I really wish JW could have done it. I saw the film twice and both times tried to get into AS’s score, but it wasn’t happening.

The Lure It's definitely unique and original... but the pacing is off and it never really gels narratively. The songs grind the film to a halt or incorporated at strange intervals. Certainly the first rock opera with homicidal mermaids I've seen. Only thing I remember about that movie is Jamie Lee Curtis's tits. They were nice.

Donner's Ladyhawke is absolutely crying out in every scene for Williams, or maybe Horner and Goldsmith. I think it is a movie that was good enough to become iconic if it had an iconic score.

Any further collaboration between Williams and Altman would have been great.

What a bunch of special snowflakes! Can't even stand people eating their popcorn.

HP.

The most succint phrasing of this issue I've heard was: "no one hates Star Wars more than Star Wars fans."

SUPERMAN II HP 4 - 8 THE COLOR PURPLE READY PLAYER ONE QUINTET LOST IN SPACE That proposed Peter Pan musical, with Michael Jackson (...or, maybe not...) A JW-scored POLTERGEIST would have been interesting, but I'm more than happy with what we have. Ditto, HEAVEN AND EARTH.

Definitely Harry Potter 4 to 8. .

Its alienist.

Wondering what the chances are of seeing A Quiet Place with an audience who actually get that BEING quiet is necessary to appreciate it properly, as opposed to 'One ticket for A Quiet Place and the largest-sized bucket/tray/bag of popcorn/nachos/individually-wrapped sweets that you've got, thanks'.

Olivia was pretty in that one.

Women have a right to equal opportunities, not to equal outcomes. Equalization of the cast (or equalization anywhere) is not, nor has it ever been, an ideal in the western world. That’s the point. It makes sense that an action film would, usually, have a predominantly male cast. It’s a masculine genre with characters that are usually required to be very masculine themselves.

Love the Trajan myself. And the desaturated Jedi is ace! I like the fact that you took Vader out, it suits the square cover aspect better. @aj_vader, which application do you use for your covers?

I really like all your cover artworks, great job! But the whole Trajan thing just doesn't work for me. Doesn't fit the OT artworks at all.

OK, so I'll now have double-backed covers (@aj_vader's wonderful poster covers on one side and @Chewy's matching OST covers on the other) to flip at my any whim!

Uhh ya gotta admit, Homer... she does kinda look like one a dem crazy college chicks on Tumblr.

Disney's Robin Hood by George Bruns Hey, this is actually pretty fun! The movie's a minor guilty pleasure of mine (one of the only fun ones from Disney's dark age at least), so I wasn't expecting anything great from the score on its own.

Maybe the next Oscar Schindler should be a woman.

I plan to share my entire music collection with my family once it's sorted. I've only been working on it for a decade.

That would require rewatching the episodes. Are the episodes rewatchable? They seem to rely on “shock” value (though you can see all the “surprises” coming after the first few episodes).

Nice. But the more I listen to it, the more I think that the Kempe/Vienna Philharmonic version (which I've posted before) has to be among the best performances (of anything) I've heard: Love that hectic string sound that's always there but never distracts from the brass melody.

I get it. There are many movies that feel a bit forced nowadays: Rogue One, Shape of Water, Post, ... Either your film needs a gay, black, female lead which is a jew or not. But decisive therefore should merely be the film itself and not the current social trends, hypes and controversies.

I want to see interspecies relationships. What is going on down there?!

Berserk over gender roles? You mean tolerating all people? If a writer is interested in making a protagonist gay, why does that bother you? Why does there need to be an explicit reason for that decision? We don’t demand that being straight requires a narrative explanation? Honestly, the sooner viewpoints like yours die the better this world will be.

It might not be as memorable as some other score but it's very lovingly put together. Bit more refined. Karol

Ferdinand by John Towner Powell Karol

Sounds good!

But no though. Allow me to translate: "I didn't like the movie, and am so incapable of dealing with the loss of the entitlement I feel that I compensate for it by saying ridiculous, hyperbolic things about it. See, it's not enough for me to simply say that I didn't like it, and then explain why; THAT might accidentally create a dialogue about it, which is the last thing I want. I'd rather just say that the movie raped my grandmother and decapitated my grandfather, because THAT'S HOW YOU WILL KNOW I MEAN IT."

It means someone down the line has missed out on a set because you bought a second!

That certain films have a tendency to overplay the diversity card is one thing. But I can't see what warrants this impassioned, and quite frankly, misguided tirade on gender characterizations and generalizations. No one is arguing that the male and female sex are biologically different. But I would love to read the paper that shows a qualitative biological measure of "assertiveness" (whatever that means...) between both sexes. Or more importantly, what that has to do with film at all, let alone this thread. Do you have specific examples of movies that do this supposedly great disservice to the accurate portrayal of females and their "assertiveness"? - KK, who's just a little confused at where this thread ended up

Tchaikovsky's Romeo and Juliet is perfect.

Here you go

My God, the ending of "There's Something I Need to Do" is absolutely magnificent. You just don't hear that classic, big romantic sound very often these days. Those rich harmonies... Also love the Christmas-y bit earlier in the cue -- the bells-with-emotional-solo-woodwinds thing is of course far from original in film music, but it always gets me. I assume the RPO bit must be for when the snow starts falling and a certain two characters kiss. I think this film will stick with me for a long time, and a large part of that is because of just how well the film merges with the score in certain key moments. I can't even really say I regret JW not doing this. Silvestri did very well.

I'm assuming we'll get no mentions of Elfman's addendum to Silvestri's Avengers theme in Infinity War, which is a bit of a shame.

More Gia The scene in Incredibles has better music but you can barely hear it under all those loud Sound FX.
