Lol if what LLL teased is the “Nicholas Hooper Collection" and WB is deciding on how to use the new Wizarding World logo

"Songs."

So how about that La La Land Records, hey?

I've run out of wisecracks for this guy. I'm worn out.

Bean: A Star Wars Story

Some here might even seem to argue that those people are just voicing their displeasure, in an exaggerated way. That's just appalling human behavior. When I created this thread, I thought it would quarantine the discussion from other threads about the current state of Star Wars in the eyes of some people, give people a chuckle, and then slither into a corner and wilt away. I didn't expect that it would become a full-blooded thread that just keeps piling on page after page. It's like trying to get rid of bedbugs!

I've never tried to pit the LOTR scores against one another, I've always viewed them as one whole piece, varied by their textures and themes, but as a whole.

Rankings disqualified for referring to Raiders as "Indiana Jones and Raiders of the Lost Ark." In fact you should probably be banned for this.

Take refugees instead!

Maybe they will be played back backwards to reveal all the dark wizardry that JW incorporated into his music.

No walkie talkies?

So Kennedy is being sent messages on her birthday that she should be sacked. Kelly Marie Tran has been suffering from online harrasment for months because she was in TLJ. Star Wars fans are awful people, as it turns out.

Bring back THX certification for superior sound and picture quality!

I kind of hear this in English elegiac pastoral music such as Finzi's "The Fall of the Leaf" as it reaches for a climax at 8:46 and then starts to die away. A really beautiful piece so be sure to listen to the whole thing. and Rachmaninoff's Isle of the Dead dies irae climax (give this a few minutes because the Rach is reaching one of his long lined climaxes that he's so famous for): But remember that the late Maurice Murphy was the principal trumpet on all six LSO star wars films and is a huge legend in brass circles because of his big full tone so some of this is letting Maurice do his thing at that big climax but stylistically I find it similar to the Finzi elegy and Rach's Isle. ...which I believe is Stravinsky in full on French mode ala Debussy:

To be honest, I see all six as such. Karol

It can’t.

Is it just me, or are people getting more and more stupid as time goes on?

The only time I agree with your grandpa.

Karol

Christ are there any people worse than fucking Star Wars fans?

I think it's another reissue of Jane Eyre.

Krull by James Horner. Classic score. So many great cues. I especially like how Horner combined unabashed romanticism with almost Ligeti-esque postmodernism. A couple of general highlights for me are the start of Battle on the Parapets, which has some fantastic orchestral interplay, and the gorgeous appearance of the love theme in Inside the Black Fortress. That moment gave me chills. Black Beauty by Danny Elfman. Very nicely textured score. Pleasantly melodic. Perhaps it gets a tad to repetitive, however. A.I. by John Williams. Gorgeous score. Outstanding writing. Williams leans a tad too much on John Adams at times, but it is interesting to see him exploring that kind of soundworld. For the more emotional cues, Williams really lets it loose by keeping things wonderfully restrained. The Search For The Blue Fairy, The Reunion, and What Dreams May Come are classical masterpieces that should by all rights be performed as a suite. (I'm always making these kind of statements, I know).

How dare Kathleen Kennedy ruin my childhood just like George Lucas did ten years ago! Bring George Lucas back! I'm in my forties!

Most of it is just prequel quotes.

Ohhhh, you came for THIS thread! @StarWars posted “Happy Birthday Kathy Kennedy,” and guess what, the Shitheads are out on, surprise!, Twitter! This also tends to be my reaction when I don’t like a laser gun movie in outer space!

Now that's INCREDIBLY disrespectful to Christian Rivers.

He explicitly did: he always talked about them as three "parts" of a grand opera. The practical implications is that, having the book, and all three scripts to hand and having seen footage from all three films, he wrote and introduced, in The Fellowship of the Ring, themes that don't have much bearing upon the story of that film, on its own, such as the Gondor and Minas Tirith themes. Another composer, say, Horner (Jackson's first choice) probably wouldn't have done that. He would just use whatever themes each individual film would have justified. So yeah, I would say the trilogy or really the entire sextet is of a piece.

Yes, if you cut off the dog's ears. That why I listen to Dylan "fucking loud!".

C'mon guys, that was clearly a play on words.

Usually gay men have not great experiences in sleeping with "false" gays. Well I speak for my own experience. Even if it's maybe a phantasm for gay men to sleep with "hetero" (bi-pan or whatever) men, it's in reality, not full satisfying experiences, because out of the sex in itself, there's no relationship possibilities. The only thing you have to say to these men after sex, is okay... now return with your girlfriend. I've been a "experience" for you... now you can return to your "normal" life... and no I will not pay your rent.

Never have that damn thing down in front of me! How do I know you're not making faces at me in there?

People now are I-don't-care-sexual. They only want sex, who cares with who. Poor people...

What a bunch of OCD weirdos.

A few of my thoughts watching the film: -I really enjoyed the economy of character building and dialogue in this film. Characters often have a line or action that has three lines within it; that's something I know Lawrence Kasdan is often concerned with, and I was happy to see that on display here. -I didn't have any issues with the lighting here, so maybe the projector was just better in this auditorium. -The music was really dynamic, and really gave the movie a dramatic, kinetic heft. Kudos to Powell! -Screw L3. (not in a Lando way, though). At least the characters didn't share her gung ho and combative attitude, and it does have a payoff in the mines. I'm gonna sweep the whole brain upload thing under my mental rug. Also, what was the whole pansexual Lando thing about? Are people talking about robosexuality as a part of his orientation? -On the subject of L3's actions in the mines, the film had a nice sense of escalation: I love all of these incidental little things that just snowball into some ridiculous all-out action scene. -I also am a big sucker for all the weird, goofy creatures and costumes that are all over the movie...Han Solo is a street rat working for some giant worm lady? Awesome! Overall, I appreciated that I could enjoy this film as an actual movie, and not just "a Star Wars story". The fact that it was set in Star Wars almost seemed incidental. I see a lot of people say that the movie is inconsequential, which from a certain perspective is true (no Star Wars quote images, Jerry). But that kind of stuff isn't why I watch movies. I remember reading a bad review of one my favorite Deep Space Nine episodes, the one where Sisko's trapped in some dimensional thing and connects briefly with his son throughout various junctures in his life. Absolutely beautiful episode, and the person's major criticism? That at the end of the episode they pressed the "reset button". I found Solo interesting and enjoyable within in its own scope, and I don't need some master multi-film arc with overlapping continuity to consider this kind of movie "worth it".

Quantum of Solace. Most interesting Bond score. More motivic than melodic but David Arnold finds a way to make it work and combine the traditional Barry swagger, this time curiously delegated to the lowest registers of the brass, along with a more modern Bourne-like spy sound. More understated but quite clever score. Both this and Casino Royale are more sensibly spotted in their respective films. Karol

2001 : A Space Odyssey. On a 50th anniversary re-release screening. I'd never actually seen it before ... my mind was suitably blown, it's an extraordinary piece of work.

Powell's ASCAP acceptance speech And if anyone ever wants to make a snide or disparaging comment about the assistant/additional composer system, just watch this acceptance speech of one of Powell's former employees to see how important it is in the modern age, after the disappearance of robust studio music departments

I'm going to get the Blu-ray release and then turn the brightness on my TV up to the max. Then I'll hit play and go to the bathroom, come back around 40 minutes in.

This!

I could go years without hearing this score and the theme will still forever haunt my brain. It's such a despicable ear-worm. Love the cue titles too.

Anywho, the concert was great. They played the Yorktown theme coming out of intermission before the film restarted. So it was lovely to hear it separate from the film and fully audible as well as in the film itself. The entire action sequence where the Enterprise is destroyed was fantastic. I love Giacchino's use of Brass and Percussion throughout that battle because it's punchy and full of attack, meaning it gets through the sound effects well. Very exciting to experience live in concert. And the final action sequence as Jaylah's theme is played in full glory was wonderful. The orchestra were good. The choir could have been bigger to really beef up those choral sections. But overall a good performance.

Given Anakin's origins, I'm not sure we can say that "forced child labor" doesn't belong in Star Wars.

Elements I enjoyed: - The main actor - Han being driven by a woman and ultimately betrayed by her - Woody

'Rebellion is Reborn' is a great stand-alone piece. It's only the people who can't separate it from the movie that perceive the themes not working together. Musically i see absolutely no problem.

I can imagine how the shoot went with PJ "assisting": Christian Rivers takes the director chair and says "Action!" PJ: Ummm... Christian:What? PJ: I was just thinking, are you sure you want to say "Action!" like that? Christian: Do you have any suggestions how I should do it? PJ: I am so glad you asked. Scoot over! I need to be in the director's chair to be able to show you properly. Christian: OK...? PJ: Right, now this is how you do it. Action! Christian: Alright. I think I got it now. Can I get back into the chair now? PJ: Ummm... about that. I kind of like it in here actually. Would you mind if I directed this scene and perhaps a couple of the following ones? Christian: Sure Pete. Whatever. PJ: Great! And action! This is going to be such a cool movie by Christian Rivers. I just know it!
